PSML document editing

This article describes how to use the <editing> element in the PSML document-config.xml file to configure custom PSML editors.

The element follows the structure below:

<editing [override="true"]>
  <editor ... />*
</editing>

For further information on how to configure the editing environment, see document template.

Behavior

By default, the editing configuration extends the default configuration so that editors defined here are added the base editors. To override the editing configuration, use the @override boolean attribute.

If the <editing> element is not specified or the document-config.xml doesn't exist, then the editors are automatically inherited from the default config.

Details

 Each <editor> element can define:

AttributeDescription
namethe name of the editor to use. Built-in editors include "ck", "psmlxrefs", "psmlproperties", "psmllabelvalues", "plain"
mediatypeto specify the media type the editor applies to (required)
formatto bind a specific fragment element to a different editor (fragment, properties-fragment, xref-fragment, media-fragment)
fragmenttypeto bind a specific fragment type to a different editor

The following parameters can be sent to the editing software using the <options> element under <editor>.

AttributeDescription
html"true" – for sending HTML through to PageSeeder
tidy"true" – to filter the HTML through Tidy (applies to HTML)
editnotewith the following allowable values:
  • "optional" – user is not prompted to enter an edit note (default).
  • "prompt" – user is prompted to enter an edit note but may save without typing or selecting an edit label.
  • "required" – user is prompted to enter an edit note and must type something or select an edit label before saving.

Default

This is the default editor configuration:

<editing>
       <editor name="psmlxrefs"
           mediatype="application/vnd.pageseeder.psml+xml"
          format="xref-fragment">
       <options tidy="true" html="true"/>
  </editor>
       <editor name="psmlproperties"
          mediatype="application/vnd.pageseeder.psml+xml"
          format="properties-fragment">
       <options tidy="true" html="true"/>
  </editor>
       <editor name="ck" mediatype="application/vnd.pageseeder.psml+xml">
         <options tidy="true" html="true"/>
  </editor>
       <editor name="plain" mediatype="text/plain"
          format="media-fragment"/>
      <editor name="plain" mediatype="application/mathml+xml"
          format="media-fragment"/>
      <editor name="plain" mediatype="application/xml"
           format="media-fragment"/>
</editing>

Examples

Bind the psmllabelvalues editor for <fragment type="mytype">

<editing>
  <editor name="psmllabelvalues"
      mediatype="application/vnd.pageseeder.psml+xml" fragmenttype="mytype">
    <options tidy="true" html="true"/>
  </editor>
</editing>

Require an edit note every time a fragment is edited. 

  • copy the default editors and add <options editnote="required"/> to all
  • set <editing override="true">.
<editing override="true">
     <editor name="psmlxrefs"
           mediatype="application/vnd.pageseeder.psml+xml"
              format="xref-fragment">
          <options tidy="true" html="true"
              editnote="required"/>
  </editor>
       <editor name="psmlproperties"
           mediatype="application/vnd.pageseeder.psml+xml"
               format="properties-fragment">
          <options tidy="true" html="true" 
                editnote="required"/>
  </editor>
         <editor name="ck" 
            mediatype="application/vnd.pageseeder.psml+xml">
           <options tidy="true" html="true"
                editnote="required"/>
  </editor>
         <editor name="plain" mediatype="text/plain"
                 format="media-fragment">
           <options editnote="required"/>
  </editor>
          <editor name="plain" mediatype="application/mathml+xml"
                 format="media-fragment">
          <options editnote="required"/>
  </editor>
         <editor name="plain" mediatype="application/xml"
                format="media-fragment">
         <options editnote="required"/>
  </editor>
</editing>
