[oXygen-user] Going from FrameMaker to oXygen -- Print-ready/Outline view issues

[Frank Dissinger]

Hi all,


This is my first posting to this list.


I am in the process of switching from FrameMaker V11 + DITA-FMx to 
oXygen V25 as my DITA editing tool. I have been using oXyen for quite a 
while as a transformation engine, but not as an editor. So in this 
respect I am still at the bottom of the learning curve.


I'd like to set up the Author mode in a way which comes close to what I 
was used in FrameMaker. I mainly worked in WYSIWYG view and with the 
Structure View, Elements and Attributes windows.


I have spent some effort on making oXygen's "Print-ready" view for the 
Editor window (in Author mode) look as WYSIWYG-ish as possible, with 
custom CSS styles that give me visual clues to the underlying XML 
structure. I then thought that I could use oXygen's Outline view in a 
similar way as FM's Structure View, but I feel quite lost in this window.

  * It does not allow me to position the cursor between the elements
  * It shows only a single attribute, not all attributes that are set
  * It shows only the attribute value, not the name
  * ...

I therefore find it hard to see the XML structure in the Outline view 
and to place the cursor precisely when I want to insert new elements.


So I thought maybe I could perhaps quickly toggle the "Print-ready" 
style on and off to see the tags and better find the correct cursor 
position. Can I create a keyboard shortcut for doing this?


Thank you.


Regards,


Frank
