JATS Author Mode Actions

A variety of actions are available in the JATS framework that can be added to the JATS menu, the Author Custom Actions toolbar, the contextual menu, and the Content Completion Assistant.

The following default actions are readily available on the JATS (Author Custom Actions) toolbar when editing in Author mode (by default, they are also available in the JATS menu and in various submenus of the contextual menu):
Bold
Surrounds the selected text with a bold tag. You can use this action on multiple non-contiguous selections.
Italic

Underline
Surrounds the selected text with an underline tag. You can use this action on multiple non-contiguous selections.
Insert Paragraph

Insert Image
Inserts an image reference at the cursor position. Depending on the current location, an image-type element is inserted.
Insert List Item
Inserts a list item in the current list type.
Insert Unordered List
Inserts an unordered list at the cursor position. A child list item is also automatically inserted by default.
Insert Ordered List

JATS Menu Actions

In addition, the following default actions are available in the JATS menu when editing in Author mode:
Refresh References
You can use this action to manually trigger a refresh and update of all referenced resources.
Tags display mode Submenu
Full Tags with Attributes - Displays full tag names with attributes for both block level and in-line level elements.
Full Tags - Displays full tag names without attributes for both block level and in-line level elements.
Block Tags - Displays full tag names for block level elements and simple tags without names for in-line level elements.
Inline Tags - Displays full tag names for inline level elements, while block level elements are not displayed.
Partial Tags - Displays simple tags without names for in-line level elements, while block level elements are not displayed.
No Tags - No tags are displayed. This is the most compact mode and is as close as possible to a word-processor view.
Profiling/Conditional Text Submenu
Edit Profiling Attributes - Allows you to configure the profiling attributes and their values.
Show Profiling Colors and Styles - Select this option to turn on conditional styling.
Show Profiling Attributes - Select this option to turn on conditional text markers. They are displayed at the end of conditional text blocks, as a list of attribute name and their currently set values.
Show Excluded Content - When this option is enabled, the content filtered by the currently applied condition set is grayed-out. To show only the content that matches the currently applied condition set, disable this option.
List of all profiling condition sets that match the current document type - You can click a listed condition set to activate it.
Profiling Settings - Opens the profiling options preferences page, where you can manage profiling attributes and profiling conditions sets. You can also configure the profiling styles and colors options from the colors/styles preferences page and the attributes rendering preferences page.

JATS Drag/Drop Actions

Dragging a file from the Project view or DITA Maps Manager view and dropping it into a JATS document that is edited in Author mode, creates a link to the dragged file (the ext-link element with the xlink:href 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 JATS document inserts an image element (the inline-graphic element with the xlink:href attribute) at the drop location, similar to the Insert Image toolbar action.
