display list of valid elements

Post by **SmitaPatil** » Tue Jul 11, 2023 1:22 pm

Hi Team,

In below screenshot, satext is not allowed as per schema but centy and centr are valid elements according to schema.
In oxygen web author, If user keep cursor inside centy which is valid element and try to get list of valid element. Nothing is getting displayed as parent element of centy (satext) is invalid as per schema.

However, we want to display all the valid list of elements if user keep cursor inside valid element and press enter.
Even if its ancestor is invalid but element where cursor is present is valid in that case also we want to display list of elements which are valid to insert at that place as per schema.

Is there any configuration or work around is available in oxygen to achieve this requirement.
Please let me know if you have any doubt or question.

Thanks & Regards,
Smita

Hi Smita,

I don't use Oxygen Web Author, but I tried this DITA experiment in Oxygen:

Code: Select all

<topic>
  <title>My Topic</title>
  <body>
    <p></p>
    <prolog><p></p></prolog>
  </body>
</topic>

The first is in a valid location, but the second is not. In both cases, the Elements view shows me the valid child elements for .

Maybe you can try this same experiment in Oxygen Web Author, as it will be easier for others to reproduce what you're asking about in something without custom schemas.

HI Chrispitude,

Thank you for trying.
However, if you see in my example, satext is strike through that means its satext is not valid element according to schema and centy is valid element according to schema.
when I keep cursor inside centy and press enter I am not able to get list of valid elements because even if centy is valid element but it is present inside satext which is invalid element.
I want to get all list of valid elements if I keep cursor inside centy and press enter. even if ancestors of centy is not valid element.
can you confirm once in your example, prolog is valid element or not ?

Thanks & Regards,
Smita

In my example, <prolog> is not valid in its location, and  is not valid inside a <prolog>. Yet in Oxygen (desktop version), if I place my cursor inside the  element inside the <prolog>, the Elements view shows me valid child elements of .

HI Chrispitude,

No here parent element should not be valid. Its not about location. suppose <prolog> is not valid but child element is valid so inside we want to display all valid list of elements.

Thanks & Regards,
Smita

Unfortunately, I'm facing a similar problem, and it's driving me nuts! I've double-checked my XML syntax, and everything seems to be in order. I'm using a valid schema, and other XML files using the same schema validate without any issues. Yet, for this particular file, the validation process keeps failing.

Hello Janeer,

The issue/thread reported/opened by Smita was about the Content Completion that was not displaying invalid elements. For this see the showAllPossibleElementsInCCList option.

The issue you're describing seems for me a little bit different than the one on this thread, you're saying "validation process keeps failing". If that's indeed true please open another thread and describe the problem you're facing so that we can reproduce it. Otherwise please give us more details.
