Hi group Suppose I get to edit content which was written by someone else, and I delete some elements of which I think that they do not have a specific purpose. For example, I see content wrapped in a <ph> element and I could just delete the <ph> element, but leave the content in the parent element. The <ph> element, however, may have been used for specific purposes in the output, for example DITA flagging, so it may have specific attribute values of which I was not aware. Would it be possible for oXygen to give me a warning if I were to delete such an element, for example: "The element you are going to delete contains attributes. Are you sure you want to delete this element?" And maybe add the "Do not ask again" option? Thanks -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu
