[oXygen-user] Inserting child elements automatically

Thu Feb 16 01:54:57 CST 2023

Hi,

Another option would be to cascade [1] the existing action with a a new 
one that inserts a comment or a placeholder that is removed once the 
user types text [2]:

<?oxy-placeholder content="Enter a title"?>

To summarize it you will have to:

- create one action that inserts this comment

- create one action based on /ExecuteMultipleActionsOperation [2] /that 
cascades the xref and the previous action

- you replace the xref action from the toolbar with this new action 
based on /ExecuteMultipleActionsOperation/
