Hi there,
I want to attach metainformation to visible objects. With visible object I mean a character, a word, a sentence or a paragraph. It would be nice if I could also tag tables or pictures but my main concern is text. The tag shall be the connection between the metainformation and its source. Tagged objects shall be able to overlap, i.e. I tag a sentence and also individual words in that sentence. People from the users mailing list suggested to use plain text and hide it from the user via the "hidden" attribute, like: <Tag0001Begin>This is a <Tag0002Begin>random<Tag0002Begin> text<Tag0001End> This would serve me well enough, but I would need to pervent the user from: - accidentially delete a tag - accidentially insert text that looks like a tag I want to make use of the tags like: - Find, highlight, filter for tagged text - Fire events when the mouse moves over The sollution shall be coded as Java Component and shall not contain OO-macros if possible. I'm in the proces of learning the OpenOffice API. Here my questions: - Would this sollution work? - Can you think of a better solution? - Would it be possible to implement it within reasonable time and effort and without tearing the fabrics of OpenOffice appart? - Can you point me to helpfull reading? - Can you suggest a raw sketch how to implement it? -- Liebe Grüße, best regards, Gerhard mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
