How to get display name of AuthorElement

[manojdcoder]

I would like to find all possible attributes of selected element along with its display name.

I was able to use createWhatAttributesCanGoHereContext to find all possible attributes, but not sure how to get the display name. It always returns the xml name.

i.e if a topicref is selected I would like to get the editor displayed name Topic Reference.

Hello,

As of Web Author version 23.1, there are two methods to retrieve the display name of an author element none of which is public API:

• In JS code you can use sync.view.NodeRenderer.getRenderedText(node.getHtmlNode()), where node is a Node of the XML document.

• In Java code you can use the following:

Code: Select all

String frameworkId =  authorDocumentModel.getDocumentTypeId();
CCConfigurationCache.getInstance()
        .getConfiguration(frameworkId).getAllRenderingInformation().get("topicref");

If you want to avoid depending on non-documented APIs, you can parse the i18n/translation-cc.xml file in the built-in DITA framework to get the display names of elements according to the user language.

Best,
Cristian
