Bug:
If you open a DocBook chapter with a section like this:
<sect1 id="foo"><Title>Foo</title></sect1>
And then click in the title and click the "Add para" icon, it
inserts something that is not a proper paragraph. It looks like a
paragraph but it spans the whole page width and you can't type in it. You
have to insert a second paragraph. You still can't delete the bad one by
using backspace or delete, but have to select it and "Cut" to remove it.
Feature:
It would be nice to automatically recognize documents containing a
root element of <preface> as DocBook (just like <chapter> or <appendix>,
etc.)
Feature:
When you insert a new element, it would be nice to automatically
switch the right-hand view to "Attributes" instead of "Edit". Further, it
would be nice to auto-select the first required attribute. This is
particularly aggravating for inserting <xref> elements, which contain
nothing but a mandatory attribute. I can insert the <xref> by typing
Ctrl-i-xref-Enter, but I have to use the mouse to first select the
attribute tab at the very bottom of the screen, then move the mouse up to
near the top to specify the linkend. It ends up being a lot of precision
mouse work, when I'd much prefer to use the keyboard.
Feature:
When an xref points to an element in the current document (an
example, table, section, etc.) it would be nice to render it more like the
output would look ("Example: Title of Example" or "Section 4" or
whatever). That looks nicer on-screen, and would also be an immediate
indicator of whether the linkend was valid or not.
Feature:
When a para is selected, it would be nice if the "Convert [wrap]"
menu included "example" (not just "informalexample"). True, it's not a
strict wrap because a title would be inserted as well, but you could just
put the example and an empty title around the para, and leave the cursor
in the para, which would become the content of the example.
Feature:
It would be nice if the UI indicate the Ctrl-Enter shortcut for
inserting a new list item in a list. I was frustrated by the need to use
the mouse for that until I read the productivity tips. It wouldn't be
hard to add "(Ctrl-Enter)" to the tool tip for the tool bar icon, for
example.
Thanks,
