By default[*] a personname is created using the simplest possible content which is text. Clicking inside a newly created personname element and hitting Shift-F1 (see attached screen shot) shows that personname can contain a ``loose text mix'' *or* something more structured: firstname, surname, etc. Therefore, explicitly select the text node, for example by clicking on "#text" in the node path bar, and then use command Replace (Ctrl-R) to replace this text node by a firstname element. Then click inside the firstname element and use command Insert After (Ctrl-J) to append a lastname element. Note that all this complexity does not come from RELAX NG itself, but rather from the content model chosen for the personname element in DocBook5. --- [*] You can define an *element* *template* for personname if you wish to change this. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/elementTemplate.html Doing so without having to tweak configuration files is expected to become trivial in XXE V3.2 or V3.3. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
