I agree on the usefulness of first and second case. And the DocBook DTD, for example, clearly forbids third case. But in *our* experience, some naive users may expect third case to work too. This the only reason why I gave the <section id="example"> example. --- Please find attached to this email 2 macros: * splitSection bound to F5, implements first case. Usage: explicitly select the child of the section which is the split point and press F5. * wrapInSection bound to F6, implements second case. Usage: explicitly select the child of the section which is the first element to be wrapped in a subsection and press F6. Remarks: ~~~~~~~ * Requires V2.8 Patch 1 because the macros have been marked as undoable. * Use with DocBook or Simplified DocBook. Requires the use of <section>. Will not work with <sect1>, <sect2>, etc. * Assumes that the <section> has a <title> followed by content elements. Probably does not work with metadata such as <sectioninfo>. * Not extensively tested. * I often test my macros using customize.xxe but the above macros are DocBook specific, therefore they should go into a DocBook customization file. See http://lupo/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/configure/ch04.html --- PS: In my <section id="example">, I forgot to add the mandatory <title> child element to the <section>. This changes nothing at all to the above discussion. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
