Oxygen XML Author Eclipse plugin includes an intelligent
Content Completion
Assistant that offers proposals for inserting structured language elements,
attributes, and attribute values that are valid in the current editing context. The
functionality of the feature is slightly difference for each editing mode:
- For detailed information about using the feature in
Text mode, see: Content Completion Assistant in Text Mode.
- For detailed information about using the feature in
Author mode, see: Content Completion Assistant in Author Mode.
In addition to the general functionality and types of proposals that are
offered in the
Content Completion Assistant (as described in the two topics
listed above), some DITA-specific actions are offered as proposals in the content completion
when using the feature in DITA documents. These actions include:
- keyref - Opens a pop-up window that allows
you to choose a key from a list all the keys that are gathered from the context DITA map
(except for those that point to resource-only topics). If the chosen key defines a
keyword, the
@keyref attribute is inserted inside a
<ph> element, while if the chosen key points to a resource, the
@keyref attribute is inserted inside an <xref>
element.
- conref - Opens a pop-up window that allows
you to choose reusable content from a list all the reusable components (elements with IDs
in topics that are referenced as resource-only in the context DITA map). For each
element, a preview of the content is shown in the documentation panel to the right of the
pop-up. Once an element is chosen, a
@conref or @conkeyref
is inserted, depending on the defined component.
- xref (cross reference) - Opens the dialog box
that allows you to insert a link to a specified target DITA resource at the current
location within a document. The target resource can be the location of a file or a key
that is already defined in your DITA map structure. Once the target resource has been
selected, you can also target specific elements within that resource. The action inserts
an
<xref> element with an @href or
@keyref attribute that points to the target.
- xref (web link) - Opens a dialog box that
allows you to insert a link to a target web-related resource at the current location
within a document. The target resource can be a URL or a key that is already defined in
your DITA map structure. It inserts an
<xref> element with either
an @href attribute or a @keyref attribute.
- simpletable - Opens a dialog box that allows
you to configure and insert a table. You can generate a header and footer, set the number
of rows and columns of the table, and decide how the table is framed.
