Configure Default Value Presentation Text For Empty Tags
Hello!
I was wondering if it is possible to configure the "default value" presentation text for empty tags in author mode for Oxygen XML Web Author.
For example, if we had the following blank table:

Would it be possible to configure it so that the th's are replaced with "Replace with table header" and the tds are replaced with "Replace with table data"? (Or other place-holder text).
I know that this information can be hard-coded using the author actions from the document type association configuration menus. However, entering hard-coded text, requires the author to delete the content. Our goal is to have the place holder text entered as if it were the empty tag value, so the authors can just put their cursors in the cells and start typing.
Any insight would be appreciated!
Thanks,
John

Hello,
The placeholder can be controlled using CSS: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... nsion.html .
Would that be enough for you?
Best,
