Dear M. Shafie, The XXE addon we developed for editing instances for our XML schema was designed mainly for technical authors, not all developers. However it works very well and benefit from all the good things generically provided by XXE; we now are at a point where we have to decide whether it is worth maintaining our tailored Java application versus the much smaller (as far as our own code is concerned) XXE addon. To take the final decision, there are a couple of minor limitations in our XXE addon and we would like toknow if it is possible to remove them. Those are details, but the devil is in the details... So below our questions, many thanks for your help.
PS: I presume that -- if the questions below are too complex -- it would be possible to use your customization services for developing further this XXE addon ? Q1: Link schema, move to opposite link Is it possible to define our own linking schema for our XML schema so that the link tool works for it ? Is is also possible to make the "move to opposite link" work for our schema as it does for DBK, DITA, XHTML ? Q2: Add after last child [more a suggestion for improvement ?] You provide very convenient predefined functions to insert a new element; something that is frequently needed (what we use most of the time actually) is to add an element after the last child. It would be very convenient to be able to do this when the parent is selected, e.g. insert-after-last-child() Q3: Changing XML vocabulary, Aliases This one may be more difficult ? The XML vocabulary we use (the name of elements) has its historical reasons; unfortunatly it is obscure to half the person of my company. If there any way in the dynamically generated menus, or even in the element panel to present names differently ? (kind of alias mechanism). The only way we found so far is to define templates for these elements, but then the alias names and the former ones are mixed up. Q4: Changing mouse behavior in some views In our of our views, we would like to use the mouse Btn3 to pop-up the list of elements that can be added in the selected one (insert after last child stuff); is there any way to do this ? Again many thanks for your time and your -- always very useful -- answers, Best regards, Philippe. -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List xmleditor-support@xmlmind.com http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
