Editing processing instructions in Oxygen Web Author

[peterls]

Is this possible at all? In standalone Oxygen Author the following CSS works:

Code: Select all

oxy|processing-instruction {

    visibility:-oxy-collapse-text;

    display:inline !important;

    -oxy-display-tags:none;

}





oxy|processing-instruction[chunk]:before{

    color: teal;

    background-color: white;

    display: inline;

    vertical-align:top;

    padding-bottom: 2px;

    border: groove black 1px;

    font-size: small;



    content:oxy_url('../img/scissors.png') '  Chunk title: ' oxy_textfield(edit, "@title") oxy_url('../img/scissors.png');

}

I've read this, and the only thing I could find that was relevant to my situation was

Oxygen XML Editor/Author CSS extensions to style :before and :after pseudo-elements, except in the content property.

So I understand why visibility:-oxy-collapse-text; doesn't work, but I would still expect the oxy_textfield() control to work.

Can somebody help with figuring out what I am missing?

Hello,

Unfortunately, you cannot add pseudo-elements like ":before" on a processing instruction. I registered an issue to remove this limitation in Web Author.

Thank you very much. I'm sure we can do a workaround for now, does this look like it will take a long time to implement?

Hello,

The current schedule is for version 21.1 which is due this fall. We can provide a nightly version of Web Author that supports this feature much sooner for you to test. Is this schedule acceptable for you?
