[XXE] paste as list?

[Hussein Shafie]

What you want to do is quite hard to do using a macro and quite easy to 
to by modifying makeParagraphs (a command written in Java). I mean, 
*complex* macros can almost always be implemented quickly and easily in 
Java.

Now, this being said, I rewrote your insertAfterAsListitem as follows:

---
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
<configuration
xmlns="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/configuration";
xmlns:cfg="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/configuration";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:su="java:com.xmlmind.xmledit.util.StringUtil">

   <binding>
     <keyPressed code="F2" />
     <command name="insertAfterAsListItems" />
   </binding>

   <command name="insertAfterAsListItems">
     <macro trace="true">
       <sequence>
        <command name="makeParagraphs" parameter="listitem" />
         <set variable="paragraphs" expression="%_" plainString="true" />
         <set variable="paragraphs"
              expression='su:replaceAll($paragraphs,
                "&lt;listitem xmlns=&apos;&apos;&gt;",
                "&lt;listitem xmlns=&apos;&apos;&gt;&lt;para&gt;")' />
         <get expression='su:replaceAll($paragraphs,
                "&lt;/listitem&gt;",
                "&lt;/para&gt;&lt;/listitem&gt;")' />
        <command name="paste" parameter="after %_" />
       </sequence>
     </macro>
   </command>
</configuration>
---

This is of course ridiculously complex (because you need to use a Java 
static method: com.xmlmind.xmledit.util.StringUtil.replaceAll, found in 
the XXE runtime) but it works.

To test the above insertAfterAsListitem, *explicitly* select the 
listitem after which you want to paste more items and press F2.

You'll find the customized.xxe file I used to test my 
insertAfterAsListitem, attached to this email. And you'll probably want 
to turn trace off (remove trace="true").
