Hi Radu, Thanks for your prompt and constructive response.
I would also like to allow the user to send the output to a "new" freshly constructed editor window with an appropriate "untitled #number" name, where the action of "saving" the document would prompt the user for the location to save the file in. There may be cases where the user just wants to view the result, rather than save it to a file. We generally know the type of document that is being generated (e.g. DITA, DocBook, general XML) so could supply this to the oXygen editor creation API, if this is helpful. Any pointers on how this - or something similar - could be achieved would be welcome.
This cannot be done using the current API for now. So you would like something like:
newEditor(String extension, String xmlContent);
Is this right? Maybe we can improve the API to contain such a method in a future version. Yes that type of interface would work for us.
A couple of alternative API's for your consideration would be: (1) newEditor(String extension); (2) newEditor(String extension, Reader reader); Alternative (1) would create a new editor with an empty document and alternative (2) would create a new editor with a document being read from the reader. In the case of the plugin I am currently developing, I would use whatever interface that might be provided in the future to create a new editor whose 'final' content was read in from a reader. Here, 'final' is used to represent the content shown to the user after the plugin has completed its output. Thanks again, Anthony. -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Anthony Smith, DeltaXML Ltd "Change control for XML" T: +44 1684 578751 E: anthony.smith@deltaxml.com http://www.deltaxml.com Registered in England 02528681 Reg.
