[oXygen-user] How to disable inserting elements?

[George Cristian Bina]

Hi Roderik,

oXygen allows a document to pass through invalid states as in some 
situations that may be the shortest path to the next valid state.

In your case the actual element that you introduce is valid because any 
validator will mark as invalid the following element, the one that was 
already in the document.

Of course we can compute the validity state of each of the following 
sibling elements and check that against the validity state after a 
possible insertion of an element through content completion. If there is 
a decreases in validity (a previously valid element becomes invalid) 
then we can mark that element differently in the content completion 
proposals or even not show it at all depending on an option.
We plan to implement such an improvement in the future.

The above will be a generic implementation for any schema.

Now, for the Author mode, for a specific vocabulary (schema) I think it 
is possible to implement a content completion filter extension that can 
look at the following element after the caret position and will remove 
that from the list of proposals if that is one of the elements you know 
that is allowed to appear only once.

Best Regards,
George
