A new step will be inserted in either one of the following contexts:

Insert Paragraph - inserts a new paragraph depending on the current context. If current context is a paragraph context (the value of 'class' attribute of the current element or one of its ancestors contains 'topic/p') then a new paragraph will be inserted after this paragraph. Otherwise a new paragraph is inserted at caret position.

Insert Concept - inserts a new concept. Concepts provide background information that users must know before they can successfully work with a product or interface. This action is available in one of the following contexts:

Insert Task - inserts a new task. Tasks are the main building blocks for task-oriented user assistance. They generally provide step-by-step instructions that will enable a user to perform a task. This action is available in one of the following contexts:

Insert Reference - inserts a new reference in the document. A reference is a top-level container for a reference topic. This action is available in one of the following contexts:

Insert Graphic - inserts a graphic object at the caret position. This is done by inserting a <image> element. The following graphical formats are supported: GIF, JPG, JPEG, BMP, PNG and SVG.

Insert Content Reference - inserts a content reference at the caret position.

The DITA conref attribute provides a mechanism for reuse of content fragments. The conref attribute stores a reference to another element and is processed to replace the referencing element with the referenced element. The element containing the content reference acts as a placeholder for the referenced element. The identifier for the referenced element must be either absolute or resolvable in the context of the referencing element. See here for more details.

<oXygen/> will display the referred content of a DITA conref if it can resolve it to a valid resource. If you use URI's instead of local paths and you have a catalog used in the DITA OT transformation you can add the catalog to <oXygen/> and if the URI's can be resolved the referred content will be displayed.

A content reference is inserted with the action Insert a DITA Content Reference available on the toolbar Author custom actions and on the menu DITA → Insert.

Figure 6.4. Insert Content Reference Dialog

In the URL chooser you can choose the file from which you want to reuse content. Depending on the Target type filter you will see a tree of elements which can be referred (which have id's). For each element the XML content is shown in the preview area. The Conref value is computed automatically for the selected tree element. After pressing OK an element with the same name as the target element and having the attribute conref with the value specified in the Conref value field will be inserted at caret position.

Insert Ordered List - inserts an ordered list with one list item.

Insert Unordered List - inserts an unordered list with one list item.

Insert List Item - inserts a new list item for in any of the above two list types.

Figure 6.5. Insert Table Dialog

The dialog allows the user to configure the number of rows and columns of the table, if the header will be generated, if the title will be added and how the table will be framed.

Insert Row - inserts a new table row with empty cells. The action is available when the caret position is inside a table.

Insert Column - inserts a new table column with empty cells after the current column. The action is available when the caret position is inside a table.

Insert Cell - inserts a new empty cell depending on the current context. If the caret is positioned between two cells, a new one will be inserted at caret's position. If the caret is inside a cell, then the new one will be created after the current cell.

Delete Column - deletes the table column where the caret is located.

Delete Row - deletes the table row where the caret is located.

Join Row Cells - joins the content of the selected cells. The operation is available if the selected cells are from the same row and they have the same row span. The action is also available when the selection is missing, but the caret is positioned between two cells.

Join Cell Above - joins the content of cell from current caret position with that of the cell above it. Note that this action works only if both cells have the same column span.

Join Cell Below - joins the content of cell from current caret position with that of the cell below it. Note that this action works only if both cells have the same column span.

Split Cell To The Left - splits the cell from current caret position in two, inserting a new empty table cell to the left. Note that this action works only if the current cell spans over more than one column. The column span of the source cell will be decreased with one.

Split Cell To The Right - splits the cell from current caret position in two, inserting a new empty table cell to the right. Note that this action works only if the current cell spans over more than one column. The column span of the source cell will be decreased with one.

Split Cell Above - splits the cell from current caret position in two, inserting a new empty table cell above. Note that this action works only if the current cell spans over more than one row. The row span of the source cell will be decreased with one.

Split Cell Below - splits the cell from current caret position in two, inserting a new empty table cell below. Note that this action works only if the current cell spans over more than one row. The row span of the source cell will be decreased with one.
