Thank you, Alex and Radu. I was able to get a version of both of these 
solutions working in short-order and will demo to my team.

With respect to the solution based on the actions, I wasn't able to get the 
processing instruction to go in as a fragment. I was able to get 
non-placeholder text to enter just fine. Perhaps it's a css issue because the 
link target is shown as placeholder text by default?

It was really helpful to see both of these. I can envision several other cases 
where I can use both approaches to perform other tasks that I've been working 
on.

Hi,


Another option would be to cascade [1] the existing action with a a new one 
that inserts a comment or a placeholder that is removed once the user types 
text [2]:


<?oxy-placeholder content="Enter a title"?>


To summarize it you will have to:

- create one action that inserts this comment

- create one action based on ExecuteMultipleActionsOperation [2] that cascades 
the xref and the previous action

- you replace the xref action from the toolbar with this new action based on 
ExecuteMultipleActionsOperation

Hello Cody,


Indeed the "InsertXrefOperation" Java operation does not have a parameter to 
specify some fixed text to insert inside the link, I added an internal issue 
based on your feedback. I do not have an easy workaround for you, it's possible 
that what you want would be possible with a Java based extension which would 
somehow listen for inserted links and add that text inside the inserted link.


But coming back to your use case which seems to be to always add custom text 
inside a link to a web page, I would rather suggest using a custom Schematron 
schema to signal as a validation error to the end user that the link is empty:


https://blog.oxygenxml.com/topics/sharing_schematron_validation_rules.html<https://blog.oxygenxml.com/topics/sharing_schematron_validation_rules.html>


So a Schematron schema like this would report a user friendly warning if there 
is an empty link:

<sch:schema 
xmlns:sch="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron";<http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron>
 queryBinding="xslt2"
    
xmlns:sqf="http://www.schematron-quickfix.com/validator/process";<http://www.schematron-quickfix.com/validator/process>>
    <sch:pattern>
        <sch:rule context="xref[@format='html'][@scope='external']">
            <sch:assert test="node()">An external link should have custom link 
text set inside.</sch:assert>
        </sch:rule>
    </sch:pattern>
</sch:schema>

Radu

I was following along with Frank's questions.

My interest was in editing the author action insert.url.reference for a web 
link by adding something like <!--Insert link text here--> inside of the XREF 
element. It doesn't look like any of the arguments for 
ro.sync.ecss.extensions.dita.link.InsertXrefOperation lets you insert a 
fragment. Is it correct that I should proceed to the involving the DITA 
extension framework or is there another method that makes more sense to you?

Thanks,

Cody

Hi Frank,


Let's split your use cases in two:

1) Inserting elements using Oxygen's actions (toolbars, menus)

2) Inserting elements using the content completion window.


1)


Let's take table insertion for example:


If you edit your DITA framework extension that is defined in the 
Preferences->"Document Type Association" page, it has an "Author=>Actions" tab.

If you edit the action "insert.table", it calls an operation named 
"ro.sync.ecss.extensions.dita.topic.table.InsertTableOperation" with certain 
parameters. One of the parameters is named "cellFragment", you can set its 
value to "<p/>".

There are other ways to change a table, for example insert a new column, insert 
a new row. So actions like "insert.table.row.below" or 
"insert.table.column.after" which also need to be changed accordingly.


2) Inserting elements like <info> using the content completion window.

Your DITA extension framework customization can contain a "cc_config.xml" file 
which defines that for certain elements, if they are inserted, another element 
should be inserted inside them as well:

https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-editor/topics/configure-elements-attr-cc-individually.html#configure-elements-attr-cc-individually__examples_configuring_elements<https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-editor/topics/configure-elements-attr-cc-individually.html#configure-elements-attr-cc-individually__examples_configuring_elements>


Hope this helps.


Regards,

Radu

Hi list,


Whenever this is valid, I wrap text in a <p> element. I would like oXygen to 
automatically insert <p> as a child element when inserting <table>, 
<simpletable> (for the table cells of course), <info>, <stepresult>, 
<stepxmp>... and many more. How do I do this?


Regards,

Frank
