what is xml refactoring
Refactoring XML. 1  Sometimes a simple find/replace of text is not powerful enough to make subtle changes in your XML Document. For instance, if want to change all <p> elements into <div> elements you cannot globally replace p into div because this would also change text such as simple into simdivle. Nor coould you change <p> into <div> because then the </p> would still remain.
