Selecting multiple areas in Author Interface

[cnevins]

Is it possible for the Author UI to select multiple, separate areas of text?

For example, I have a table and wish to force the Author environment to select the content of all the cells in a particular column, and only those cells.

The AuthorEditorAccess interface has a select() method that takes a start/end offset pair and selects the content between those offsets. Is there a similar method somewhere that will accept multiple pairs of start/end offsets?

I suspect not, but it never hurts to ask.

Thanks!

Hello,

In v13.2 this is not possible, not for the user and not programatically.
However, this has already been implemented for v14.0(still in development) for both the user and the developer(API). If you have a license for v13 with SMP and you are interested in trying an early access version of v14, please write to our support email address:
support AT oxygenxml DOT com

Hi Cole,

Also Oxygen 14 will have support to easily cut/copy/paste and drag and drop table columns.
The support will be built-in for the bundled document types (DITA, Docbook, TEI, etc) but if you have a custom document type you will need to implement a specific API for column insertion.

Radu
