[oXygen-user] Inserting child elements automatically

Thu Feb 16 00:00:12 CST 2023

Hello Cody,

Indeed the "InsertXrefOperation" Java operation does not have a 
parameter to specify some fixed text to insert inside the link, I added 
an internal issue based on your feedback. I do not have an easy 
workaround for you, it's possible that what you want would be possible 
with a Java based extension which would somehow listen for inserted 
links and add that text inside the inserted link.

But coming back to your use case which seems to be to always add custom 
text inside a link to a web page, I would rather suggest using a custom 
Schematron schema to signal as a validation error to the end user that 
the link is empty:

https://blog.oxygenxml.com/topics/sharing_schematron_validation_rules.html

So a Schematron schema like this would report a user friendly warning if 
there is an empty link:

> <sch:schema xmlns:sch="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron" 
> queryBinding="xslt2"
> xmlns:sqf="http://www.schematron-quickfix.com/validator/process">
>     <sch:pattern>
>         <sch:rule context="xref[@format='html'][@scope='external']">
>             <sch:assert test="node()">An external link should have 
> custom link text set inside.</sch:assert>
>         </sch:rule>
>     </sch:pattern>
> </sch:schema>

Radu
