The procedure below describes how to add defined actions to a toolbar. These steps use examples from the two previous help topics that described how to define the Insert Section and Insert Table actions. You can also configure additional toolbars to add other custom actions.
-
Open the Document Type configuration dialog box for the SDF framework and select
the Author tab. Next, go to the Toolbar
subtab.
Figure: Configuring the Toolbar
The panel is divided in two sections: the left side contains a list of actions, while the right one contains an action tree, displaying the list of actions added in the toolbar. The special entry called Separator allows you to visually separate the actions in the toolbar.
-
Select the Insert section action in the left panel section and
the Toolbar label in the right panel section, then press the
Add as child button.
-
Select the Insert table action in the left panel section and the
Insert section in the right panel section. Press the
Add as sibling button.
-
When opening a Simple Documentation Framework test document in
Author mode, the toolbar below will be displayed at the top of
the editor.
Figure: Author Custom Actions Toolbar
Tip: If you have many custom toolbar actions, or want to group actions according to their category, add additional toolbars with custom names and split the actions to better suit your purpose. If your toolbar is not displayed when switching to the Author mode, right click the main toolbar, select Configure Toolbars, and make sure the Author Custom Actions 1 toolbar is enabled.
