The
Oxygen XML Web Author includes support for copy and paste actions using the usual
keyboard shortcuts (
Ctrl + C (Command + C on
OS X)
for copying,
Ctrl + X (Command + X on
OS X) for cutting, and
Ctrl + V (Command + V on
OS X) for pasting). This support
includes a
Smart Paste feature that preserves certain style and structure
information. This includes the following scenarios:
- Paste content from external sources (such as text processors or web browsers) into the
document you are editing. Oxygen XML Web Author tries to preserve all associated
formatting, such as lists, paragraphs, and text styling. When a valid XML structure is
detected in the clipboard content, Oxygen XML will paste the content with XML
structure.
- Paste content from within a Oxygen XML Web Author session, preserving the XML
structure. If the current location is not valid for the copied content, Oxygen XML Web Author will try to find possible solutions (if possible).
- Paste content from the Oxygen XML Web Author session into external sources. In
this case, only the text content is copied.
Note: On Safari Mobile versions 6 and 7, the copy/paste support
ignores all text formatting, keeping only the content.
On desktop versions of the
Oxygen XML Web Author, the
Smart Paste feature
also includes a
Paste Special action in the contextual menu that allows
you to choose how to paste copied content. The
Paste Special action
allows you to choose from the following:
- Smart Paste - Oxygen XML Web Author will paste the copied
content while trying to preserve its structure and if the current location is invalid, Oxygen XML Web Author will attempt to find a possible solution.
- Paste as Text - The copied content will be pasted as text
content.
- Paste as XML - Copied content that is considered to be valid XML
will be pasted with its XML structure preserved.
