Re: FW: Question regarding the attribute editor

Hello,

What you did is correct:
---
   <attributeEditor attribute="Entity_x" elementMatches="*">
     <list allowAnyValue="false" allowMultipleValues="false">
       <item>Yes</item>
     </list>
   </attributeEditor>
---
except that DocBook v5.1 has no "Entity_x" attribute. That's why your 
attributeEditor is never used.



--> What to do:

1) Remove your attributeEditor from docbook51.xxe as this 
attributeEditor is really not needed for such a simple case.

2) Modify docbook51/rng/V5.1/docbook.rng by defining attribute 
"Entity_x" and adding it to the group of common base attributes 
"db.common.base.attributes":

Original schema:
---
    <define name="db.common.base.attributes">
       <interleave>
          <optional>
             <ref name="db.version.attribute"/>
          </optional>
          <optional>
             <ref name="db.xml.lang.attribute"/>
          </optional>
          <optional>
             <ref name="db.xml.base.attribute"/>
          </optional>
          <optional>
             <ref name="db.remap.attribute"/>
          </optional>
          <optional>
             <ref name="db.xreflabel.attribute"/>
          </optional>
          <optional>
             <ref name="db.revisionflag.attribute"/>
          </optional>
          <optional>
             <ref name="db.dir.attribute"/>
          </optional>
          <ref name="db.effectivity.attributes"/>
          <ref name="db.rdfalite.attributes"/>
          <ref name="db.transclusion.attributes"/>
       </interleave>
    </define>

Modified schema:
---
    <define name="db.common.base.attributes">
       <interleave>
          <optional>
             <ref name="db.version.attribute"/>
          </optional>
          <optional>
             <ref name="db.xml.lang.attribute"/>
          </optional>
          <optional>
             <ref name="db.xml.base.attribute"/>
          </optional>
          <optional>
             <ref name="db.remap.attribute"/>
          </optional>
          <optional>
             <ref name="db.xreflabel.attribute"/>
          </optional>
          <optional>
             <ref name="db.revisionflag.attribute"/>
          </optional>
          <optional>
             <ref name="db.dir.attribute"/>
          </optional>
          <ref name="db.effectivity.attributes"/>
          <ref name="db.rdfalite.attributes"/>
          <ref name="db.transclusion.attributes"/>
          <optional>
             <ref name="entity.x.attribute"/>
          </optional>
       </interleave>
    </define>
    <define name="entity.x.attribute">
      <attribute name="Entity_x">
        <value>Yes</value>
       </attribute>
    </define>

(There is a "cleaner" way to customize the DocBook v5.1 schema by 
augmenting "db.common.base.attributes". See 
https://relaxng.org/tutorial-20011203.html#IDAVEZR)

Modified schema is attached to this email, as well as a screenshot of 
XMLmind XML Editor Attributes tool.

I want to add an attribute of with the given name, and currently only want that attribute to have the value " yes" when used. I don’t know if this is possible or not but I am currently running into trouble even getting changes to appear in the Docbook when editing the config file. Could you have a look into this?
