Re: Paste external text as a whole row while in Author mode
Hi Piotr,
Maybe you can elaborate on the question a bit.
We have a "Paste as XML" contextual menu action which would take a plain string from the clipboard and if it has XML tags would interpret them accordingly.
We also have a smart paste feature which automatically converts to DITA XML on paste an HTML flavored content set in the clipboard.

One can also create their own Java or Javascript based AuthorOperation which may read the clipboard and use our APIs to insert content.

Radu

Re: Paste external text as a whole row while in Author mode
Hi Radu,
Thank you for your response.
You are right; my description of the problem was far too vague. However, I appreciate you pointing me towards JavaScript-based plugins. I had completely forgotten about them.
To briefly explain, I was looking for a solution to extract data (either manually or automatically) from a document in Text mode, perform some modifications, calculations, and conversions, and then paste the results into a table in Author mode.
While handling all these actions in a JavaScript plugin is a bit beyond my skills, I have managed to create a custom action executed on a local LLM engine running on my workstation. A plugin might still save me some copy and paste operations, but the AI excels at searching for data in Text mode.
Best regards,
Piotr

Hello Piotr,
Sure, we also have an AI Positron Enterprise add-on which can connect using the OpenAI APIs to a LLM server if at some point you want a closer integration with custom AI actions run directly inside Oxygen.
