Hi Kristen, We added an easy way to do this in version 18.0 of Oxygen, for example if you look inside the file "OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\resources\cc_config.xml" it contains a construct like:

<elementProposals path="section" insertElements="title p"/>

which basically states that when a section is inserted, a title and a p should also be inserted inside it. More about the "cc_config.xml": https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/19.1/ug-editor/topics/configure-eleme... But unfortunately your clients are using version 17.1. Ideally they could ask the CMS when they plan to support a newer version of Oxygen. Otherwise, with version 17.1 of Oxygen a Java extension would need to be implemented: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/20.0/ug-editor/topics/dg-author-conte... But here's another possible workaround. I'm linking to a specific answer of mine in an older thread started at a time when Oxygen did not have this possibility in the cc_config.xml: https://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/post31832.html#p31832 Regards, Radu Radu Coravu <oXygen/> XML Editor http://www.oxygenxml.com On 3/23/2018 9:02 PM, Kristen James Eberlein wrote:

Is this handled through the following:

1. Enabling a preference for the Content Completion Assistant? 2. Ensuring that the content model for the <foo> element lists <p> as the first option?

For example, can oXygen be configured so that whenever an author inserts the <foo> element, that a <p> element is automatically inserted as a child element?

If so, what is the mechanism and can someone point me to the appropriate place in the oXygen documentation?

In this case, the DTD requires that <foo> have at least one child element, but the list of elements permitted by the content model is long.

I'd like to prevent authors encountering a warning that they won't easily understand, such as the following:

Thanks in advance for the gracious assistance! -- Best, Kris
