Thank you. The issue I had was probably related to me forgetting about
the cache issue.

In the «XMLmind XML Editor - Configuration and Deployment» document [1],
the Chapter 5 talks about «Customizing an existing configuration»[2].
The examples listed there, do not include <saveOptions> – which is
mentioned in section 26 of Chapter 6. Configuration elements»[3].
My simple question is this: Can <saveOptions /> be used in
customizations? Or must it be «hard coded» inside the addons found
inside */addon/config. For instance, one may edit the <saveOptions/>
element inside */addon/config/xhtml/xhtml_common.incl – but could one
also add <saveOptions/> after the <include /> element in the
customizations example found in chapter 5 – see footnote [2] ?

Yes, just like any other configuration element, you can add
<saveOptions/> to a customization of a stock configuration.
As configuration elements are processed in load order, yes, you must
specify your custom <saveOptions/> *after* <include/>-ing the stock
configuration.
The only specificity of <saveOptions/> is that it is *cumulative*.
That is, it does not *replace* the <saveOptions/> element previously
found (or included from) in a configuration file. Instead options are
*merged*. See example at the very end of
https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/saveOptions.html
As always:
* Configurations having the same priority are sorted using their file
basenames. That's why we suggest to name your custom configuration
file "0xhtml5.xxe" if you are customizing the stock "xhtml5.xxe", for
example.
* When creating or customizing a configuration, please do not forget
to clear or temporarily disable the Quick Start Cache. See
https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/advancedOptions.html#cacheOptions
A simple way to do this is to simply delete the
"XXE_user_preferences_dir/cache/" directory, where
XXE_user_preferences_dir is:
- $HOME/.xxe11/ on Linux.
- $HOME/Library/Application Support/XMLmind/XMLEditor11/ on the Mac.
- %APPDATA%\XMLmind\XMLEditor11\ on Windows. Example:
C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\XMLmind\XMLEditor11\.
