[oXygen-user] DocType Association & Insert Character Actions

[Radu Coravu]

Hi Shaun,

Just to update this thread with a possible explanation:

An Author action can invoke different Author operations in different 
XPath contexts.
There are already some predefined Author operations.
They are available when editing the Author action in the Document Type 
Definition edit dialog.

The ones which can be used are:
ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.InsertFragmentOperation
ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.InsertOrReplaceFragmentOperation
ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.SurroundWithFragmentOperation

which are XML aware and thus can handle entities.

You probably used the Author operations which are Text based like :
ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.InsertOrReplaceTextOperation
and which insert the entities escaped.

In the Author page you also have an action called "Insert Entity" 
presenting a dialog in which you can set the name of the entity ("#xc1" 
in your case) and insert it at caret position.

Regards,
Radu
