Editor Macro Support

[cjboorman]

I'm migrating from Microsoft Word to oxygen XML Editor. I'm accustomed to creating small macros (in Visual Basic for Applications) to help me accomplish large amounts of work in a short period of time. I'm currently building a large DITA map (and creating hundreds of DITA topics) by cutting and pasting content from a very large Word document. I've found that creating tables really slows me down. When I copy a table, I have to use the XML code editor to customize the table properties (e.g., frame="all" rowsep="1" colsep="1", and adding the <thead> element). I would like to write a macro that searches through the XML content and finds & replaces these elements and attributes - to make tables match what oxygen would have created if I'd used "Insert Table". Does oXygen XML Editor support this kind of automation?

Hi,

If your refactor is more complex and cannot be fone using the Find/Replace in Files tool we have a feature called XML Refactor which allows you to apply a small XQuery or XSLT refactor script either on an XML document or on a collection of XML documents:
