Hi Frank,


Let's split your use cases in two:

1) Inserting elements using Oxygen's actions (toolbars, menus)

2) Inserting elements using the content completion window.


1)


Let's take table insertion for example:


If you edit your DITA framework extension that is defined in the 
Preferences->"Document Type Association" page, it has an 
"Author=>Actions" tab.

If you edit the action "insert.table", it calls an operation named 
"ro.sync.ecss.extensions.dita.topic.table.InsertTableOperation" with 
certain parameters. One of the parameters is named "cellFragment", you 
can set its value to "<p/>".

There are other ways to change a table, for example insert a new column, 
insert a new row. So actions like "insert.table.row.below" or 
"insert.table.column.after" which also need to be changed accordingly.


2) Inserting elements like <info> using the content completion window.

Your DITA extension framework customization can contain a 
"cc_config.xml" file which defines that for certain elements, if they 
are inserted, another element should be inserted inside them as well:

Hope this helps.


Regards,

Radu
