This is already implemented (in a slightly different way). See "Status messages" http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/statusTool.html > *Question: *our authors often start to write sections of their documents > as a set of elements <para></ para>, <figure></figure>, without a clear > structure in mind... and eventually decide to wrap all these elements > within a <section>.

Would it be possible to extend the wrapping feature to > allow this ? No. The Wrap command is generic and schema driven. This implies that it cannot create elements in order to wrap an element. > For example, the set of elements: > > <para>Para 1</para> > <para>Para 2</para> > > Would be wrapped within a section as follows: (<title></title> would be > added): > > <section> > <title></title> > <para>.Para 1</para> > <para>Para 2</para> > </section> > > Does it make sense to you ? Sure. The problem is a common one and the cure is always the same: please write a custom, schema specific, macro to do that. Note that I'm not trying to avoid facing your problem. XXE has always been designed like that: generic, schema driven, tools are here to solve 90% of the problems. For the 10% remaining, you'll need to extend XXE. This applies to commands and to CSS style sheets.
