Possible to determine available attributes on not yet insert

[ArbitraryName]

I am looking to create a generic UI where it would be useful for me to be able to determine the possible attributes on a given element about to be inserted. It looks like AuthorSchemaManager has some useful functions that apply to elements already existing in a document, but I need to introspect the options before insertion. Is there any way to do this through the SDK? I see createWhatAttributesCanGoHereContext(AuthorElement element) but am unsure as to how I might create an AuthorElement.

Hello,

You can get the possible attribute of an element (without it being actually in the document) like this:

Code: Select all

WhatElementsCanGoHereContext whatElementsCanGoHereContext = authorSchemaManager.createWhatElementsCanGoHereContext(offset);

List<CIElement> whatElementsCanGoHere = authorSchemaManager.whatElementsCanGoHere(whatElementsCanGoHereContext);

for (CIElement ciElement : whatElementsCanGoHere) {

  // TODO Look for the CIElement of interest (the one that will be inserted)

  if ("p".equals(ciElement.getName())) {

    // Then get its attributes like this:

    List<CIAttribute> attributes = ciElement.getAttributes();

  }

}

Best regards,
Alex
