In the following command reference:
means
the explicitly selected single node;
OR the node (text, comment, processing-instruction or element) containing the caret, if there is no explicit node selection and if the [implicitNode] option is used in the parameter of the command;
OR the element containing the textual node (text, comment, processing-instruction) containing the caret, if there is no explicit node selection and if the [implicitElement] option is used in the parameter of the command.
means
the explicitly selected single node or node range;
OR the node (text, comment, processing-instruction or element) containing the caret, if there is no explicit node selection and if the [implicitNode] option is used in the parameter of the command;
OR the element containing the textual node (text, comment, processing-instruction) containing the caret, if there is no explicit node selection and if the [implicitElement] option is used in the parameter of the command.
means
an empty text node, if the parameter of the command ends with #text;
OR an automatically generated empty element (see configuration element newElementContent in XMLmind XML Editor - Configuration and Deployment), if the parameter of the command ends with an element name;
OR a copy of an element template (see configuration element elementTemplate in XMLmind XML Editor - Configuration and Deployment), if the parameter of the command ends with an element template name.
If the argument node is not explicitly specified in the parameter of a command, a dialog box is displayed and the user will have to interactively specify it.
Note that namespace prefixes cannot be used inside the parameter of a command. Notation {namespace_URI}local_name must be used instead.
Example 1: {http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}p means p in the http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml namespace.
Example 2: p means p with no namespace.
These non-terminals are sometimes used in the synopsis of a parameter of a command:
implicit_selection -> '[implicitNode]' | '[implicitElement]'
argument_node -> '#text' |
element_name |
'#template(' element_name ',' template_name ')'
element_name -> Name | '{' namespace_URI '}' NCName
namespace_uri -> anyURIIn the synopsis of a parameter of a command, S means space.
Note that whitespace is not allowed inside the #template() construct. That is, "#template( figure, image )" will not work while "#template(figure,image)" will work.
