Hello,
In the DTD I am working with (DAISY DTBook), sections can be nested like
this:
<level1>
<h1>header</h1>
<p>Introduction</p>
...
<level2>
<h2>header</h2>
<p>Text</p>
...
</level2>
...
</level1>
Up to <level6>.
Sometimes one needs to promote or demote a section -- ie, you might want
to change the above to be two sibling <level1> elements.
If I'm not missing something, then this is an incredibly painstaking
operation in XXE - you'd have to create the new <level1> element, create
the <h1> within it, move the content over piece by piece, then delete
the skeleton of the old <level2>. If the <level2> you were promoting
contained <level3> elements, there would be exponentially more steps.
Is there any way to automate this that isn't terribly complicated?
Macro, Java command, something else? If I write an XSLT that does the
transformation, can I call that from a menu item (and pass it the
selected node)? Any examples of similar processing that I could look at?
Thanks for any help!
Boris
