[oXygen-user] [OXYGEN-10021] Read only section of Xml

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Karl,

What XML vocabulary are you using? DITA, DocBook, TEI, something else?

Are you editing the XML content in the Text mode or in the Author visual 
editor mode?

When editing XML in the Author visual editor mode you have a specific 
CSS property which can be set to prohibit editing in certain elements:

If you are editing XML in the Text mode, it gets more complicated, you 
would need to build some kind of Oxygen Java based plugin which 
prohibits editing in certain places...

Regards,

Radu
