[oXygen-user] PI between <tr> visible in Author mode?

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Tony,

About this remark:

That's because usually when moving inside a table the cursor moves from 
one row to another and does not stop between the rows.
In the Oxygen Preferences->"Editor / Edit Modes / Author / Cursor 
Navigation" page there is a checkbox called "Quick navigation in tables" 
which can be disabled to allow the cursor to also be placed between 
rows. But I think it's best to create some kind of custom Author action 
based on a pre-existing operation like "InsertFragmentOperation":

https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/21.1/ug-editor/topics/dg-default-author-operations.html#dg-default-author-operations__insertfragmentoperation

The action defined in the framework configuration could be called 
"Insert a page break processing instruction before current row". And it 
could be added for example to the contextual menu when you right click 
inside a table cell.

Regards,
Radu
