Making the XInclude switch more accessible
Hi, As you know I've been using XInclude more intensively for a couple of projects. I'm grateful for oXygen's settings, including the setting to switch XInclude on and off per project. However, sometimes one wants to turn it on or off even more readily, for example before running a transformation or Schematron validation. Since the settings are fairly deep in the XML/XML Parser pane of Options/Preferences, this is a bit hard to do (and to instruct others to do). What would be great would be buttons to control this, and/or menu options, available at the top level. Maybe those are already there and I just haven't found them? Any ideas?

Hi again, As long as Syd is on the case, don't forget it would also need a keyboard binding, actual or settable. (Syd knows that whenever I write "button" he is to resolve the entity reference.) FWIW, as far as the functionality is concerned, I'm in the habit of simply commenting out any XInclude references I don't want. But I have at least one client who doesn't want to require their users to do this (for understandable reasons) -- and who says the global switch would be very nice.

Hi Wendell, I will explore the possibility to implement this through an workspace access plugin. Best Regards, George -- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com On 9/24/10 11:21 PM, Wendell Piez wrote:
