XXE keeps getting better and better!
The new collapsible block functionality makes it really easy to
- make an outline view of a document
- show/hide conditional text
I now have a number of different CSS files that I use in conjunction with my
documents:
- One "standard" view
- One "outline" view that I always display on the left (like the standard
"Both tree and styled views") layout, except I have to arrange the windows
by hand
- Several "alternative" views that hide different parts of the text. I
switch between these and the standard view during editing
I have a few wishes related to these uses:
- The ability to configure the default screen layout: in other words, to
associate each CSS file with a default window position and layout, so that I
don't have to drag all the windows into position every time. It would be
even better if it were possible to subdivide windows into "panes" and
associate the various CSS files with these panes, so that there is only one
window per open document, but each window can contain many views.
- The ability to expand and collapse inline elements as well as block
elements (for hidden conditional inline text)
I have also found what might be a bug in XXE's CSS interepretation:
If one selector sets an icon as content, for example:
only-in {
content: icon(collapsed-right);
}
Then a more specific selector set to override it:
only-in[selector=mode][value=paper] {
display: inline;
background-color: #ffe4c4;
}
will not work.
I guess what is needed is an additional value for content (content: default,
for example), that switches content back to the ordinary element contents.
These are minor gripes - XXE does almost everything I want!
