${caret} doesn't work?

[stdu]

Hi,

If I use ${caret} in an action with the surround-operation, ${caret} is replaced by oXygen XML Author with the string "UNIQUE_CARET_MARKER_FOR_AUTHOR" when I execute the action.

I use this code in the action:

Code: Select all

<choice xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"><abbr></abbr><expan>${caret}</expan></choice>

Is this a bug or did I overlooked something?

Regards,
Stefan

More exactly: Author inserts the PI

Code: Select all

<?UNIQUE_CARET_MARKER_FOR_AUTHOR?>

Hi Stefan,

I managed to reproduce this. Somehow it works if there is no selection when the action is invoked.
I added an issue and we'll look into it.

Hi Radu,

I ran again in this issue with the current 17.1 version (build 2016032212).
Or do I handle something wrong?

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Indeed, it seems that there are still some problems regarding the ${caret} usage.
I managed to reproduce (on build 2016032212) the problem you have initially reported, but only when the change tracking is ON. Is this also your use case? If you have other way to reproduce it, please let us know to fix it.

Best Regards,

Hi,

The latest Oxygen 18.0 build kits available on our web site should also contain fixes for the situation found by Mihaela.
