--> It's possible to program quite easily the feature described above by implementing in Java an OpenedDocumentHook. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/api/com/xmlmind/xmleditapp/kit/OpenedDocumentHook.html The method of interest is openingDocument which may be used to veto a user action. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/api/com/xmlmind/xmleditapp/kit/OpenedDocumentHook.html#openingDocument(com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.kit.OpenedDocument,%20java.net.URL,%20com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.kit.OpenedDocument) --> I don't see how you could implement the feature described above using a macro. Note that an included element has an ancestor having a "INCLUSION_MARK" property. The value of an "INCLUSION_MARK" property is an InclusionMark object. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/api/com/xmlmind/xmledit/doc/InclusionMark.html The *string* *value* of an "INCLUSION_MARK" property can be obtained using the property() XPath extension function.
