Delete Element's custom IDs

[antonio3z]

Dear Forum

I've been trying refactoring XML source code in order to delete a custom ASTORIA id which is added to each element every time a fragment is closed and reopened, which makes equations no more editable in the editor as the MathML plugin won't recognize these IDs:

Code: Select all

<mathml ast:aid="00000023WIH40139910208451GYZ">

        <m:math xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" ast:aid="00000023WIH4013991020A451GYZ">

          <m:mrow ast:aid="00000023WIH4013991020C451GYZ">

            <m:msub ast:aid="00000023WIH4013991020E451GYZ">

Is there a specific syntax to write into the refactoring tool?

Thanks for the support,

Cheers

Hi Antonio,

In the Oxygen Tools main menu there is an "XML Refactoring" action and you can choose there to use the pre-defined "Delete attribute". Then specify the element context in which you want to make the modification (probably mathml//* in your case) and the attribute ast:aid that you want to rename. If Oxygen complains that it does not know the "ast" XML prefix you can declare it in the Preferences->XML / XSLT-FO-XQuery / XPath page.

You can also try to use the "Find/Replace" dialog in the Text editing mode, the dialog also has an XPath which allows you to focus on a certain set of elements and it allows you to use regular expressions to find content.
