Hi Frank,

About this specific request:

So I thought maybe I could perhaps quickly toggle the "Print-ready" style on and off to see the tags and better find the correct cursor position. Can I create a keyboard shortcut for doing this?

We do not yet have a means to set a certain keyboard shortcut for applying a CSS layer, we have an internal issue for this, I added your contact details to it and I'm pasting the issue ID below for future reference:

    EXM-22482 Assign hot keys for the alternate styles (CSS API)

There are other ways in which someone could for example create a custom Author action which sets a certain pseudo class on an element and then the CSS selectors can use that pseudo class to enable or disable certain properties. For example with the "custom.css" file I'm attaching I added a button directly in the Author visual editor and when the button is clicked, a certain CSS pseudo class is set on the root element and the tags are shown or hidden based on it.

Regards,

Radu

Hi all,

This is my first posting to this list.

I am in the process of switching from FrameMaker V11 + DITA-FMx to oXygen V25 as my DITA editing tool. I have been using oXyen for quite a while as a transformation engine, but not as an editor. So in this respect I am still at the bottom of the learning curve.

I'd like to set up the Author mode in a way which comes close to what I was used in FrameMaker. I mainly worked in WYSIWYG view and with the Structure View, Elements and Attributes windows.

I have spent some effort on making oXygen's "Print-ready" view for the Editor window (in Author mode) look as WYSIWYG-ish as possible, with custom CSS styles that give me visual clues to the underlying XML structure. I then thought that I could use oXygen's Outline view in a similar way as FM's Structure View, but I feel quite lost in this window.

• It does not allow me to position the cursor between the elements
• It shows only a single attribute, not all attributes that are set
• It shows only the attribute value, not the name
• ...

I therefore find it hard to see the XML structure in the Outline view and to place the cursor precisely when I want to insert new elements.

So I thought maybe I could perhaps quickly toggle the "Print-ready" style on and off to see the tags and better find the correct cursor position. Can I create a keyboard shortcut for doing this?

Thank you.

Regards,

Frank
