Is it possible to configure the specific attributes that are populated for a new element? For example, I'm working with DocBook 5 and I use <link xlink:href="foo">foo</link>
Please remember that in <link xlink:href="foo">, "foo" must be an URI, that is something like "http://www.acme.com/gee/foo.bar"; or "gee/foo.bar" or "zzz.html#yyy".
rather than <link linkend="foo">foo</link>. Every time I create a new link element I have to force remove the "???" value of linkend before I can add a value to xlink:href. I'd like to configure XMLMind to either put the ??? in xlink:href or just do nothing to the attributes. I've been looking through the customization doc and the docbook5 addon but haven't found anything yet.
There is nothing to configure here. <link xlink:href> and <link linkend> are in fact ``different elements''[*], which serve different purposes. First one in an external link. Second one is a internal link.
What you want is to do is to directly insert or convert to <link xlink:href>.
This is done as follows:* Use the DocBook toolbar and select the "Toggle link[href]" button. More information in http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/docbook/docbook_toolbar.html
OR* Use the Edit tool and rather than selecting "link", please select "link(href)" (the item just below). See attached screenshot.
---[*] In DocBook 4, these were actually different elements. First one was: ulink and second one: link.
---PS: If what you want to do is [1] select text "foo" and [2] directly convert it to <link xlink:href="foo">foo</link>, this is possible too. However this is achieved by the means of a (trivial) macro-command.
Please identify yourself as a customer if you want us to explain how to implement such macro-command.
