TEI P5 Author Actions

The following actions are available in the contextual menu, the TEI P5 submenu of the main menu, and in the Author custom actions toolbar:

Bold

Changes the style of the selected text to bold by surrounding it with hi tag and setting the rend attribute to bold. You can use this action on multiple non-contiguous selections.

Italic

Changes the style of the selected text to italic by surrounding it with hi tag and setting the rend attribute to italic. You can use this action on multiple non-contiguous selections.

Underline

Changes the style of the selected text to underline by surrounding it with hi tag and setting the rend attribute to ul. You can use this action on multiple non-contiguous selections.

Browse reference manual

Opens in your web browser of choice a reference to the documentation of the XML element closest to the caret position. When editing DITA documents, this action is available in the contextual menu of the editing area (under the About Element sub-menu) and in the documentation tip displayed by the Content Completion Assistant.

Insert Section

Inserts a new section / subsection, depending on the current context. For example if the current context is div1 then a div2 will be inserted and so on.

Insert image reference

inserts an image reference at the caret position;

Insert Table

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.

Insert an ordered list at the caret position

Inserts an ordered list. A child list item is also automatically inserted by default.

Generate IDs

This action generates and sets unique IDs for:

• the element at caret position
• all top-level elements found in the current selection. Additionally, if the selection contains elements from the TEI > ID Options list, they will all receive an unique ID

Note: IDs already set are preserved.

The action is available both in the contextual menu and in the TEI main menu.

ID Options

Action available in the TEI main menu, allows you to specify the elements for which Oxygen XML Editor generates an unique ID if the Auto generate IDs for elements option is enabled. The configurable ID value pattern can accept most of the application supported editor variables.

To keep an already set element ID when copying content in the same document, make sure the Remove IDs when copying content in the same document option is not checked.

Search References

Finds the references to the id attribute value of the selected element in all the topics from the current DITA map (opened in the DITA Maps Manager view). The default shortcut of the action is Ctrl Shift G (Command Shift G on OS X) and can be changed in the DITA Topic document type.

Also, if you drag and drop a file from the Project view or DITA Maps Manager view into a TEI P5 document that is edited in Author mode, it will create a link to the dragged file (the ptr element with the target attribute) at the drop location. Dragging an image file from the default file system application (Windows Explorer on Windows or Finder on Mac OS X, for example) and dropping it into a TEI P5 document inserts a graphic element (the graphic element with the url attribute) at the drop location, similar to the Insert Image Reference toolbar action.
