What is wrong?
[1] By using type "xs:string" for element "b": <xs:element name="b" type="xs:string"/> you are saying to XXE that element "b" contains *data* (which could be for example constrained to match a regular expression!) and not *text*. This prevents "b" from being a possible target for the "convert" operation. You need to use this kind of type for b, u, etc: <xs:complexType name="plainTextType" mixed="true" /> [2] If you use a namespace for your elements, you cannot simply reference "b", "i", "sub", etc, in the parameter of the convert command. Let's suppose the URI of the namespace is "http://www.alcatel.de/namespace/doc";. --- <item label="Convert to bold" command="convert" parameter="[implicitElement] b"/> --- must be replaced by: --- <item label="Convert to bold" command="convert" parameter="[implicitElement] {http://www.alcatel.de/namespace/doc}b"/> --- Note that commmand parameters contains plain strings without special semantics and therefore, namespace prefixes are not interpreted in this context.
