IDM – Dictionary Publishing System – Editor's documentation Structure editing To illustrate the element creation procedure, we will add a sense to an entry. Elements can be created within the structure of the definitions (gathered in the tree view) thanks to the Template Picker. Adding a sibling element Sister elements are tags of the same level in the tree. For instance, all dictionary Entries, Head and Sense elements within an entry ... Insert a new Sense element after any Sense of your choice. First select the Sense element, then to launch the Template Picker, either: • right click on the element and choose Template Picker from the context menu, or • click on the Template Picker button in the toolbar, or • press CTRL-A The template Picker is displayed: Make sure that the After tab is active, choose the Sense element from the list and click Insert. The new Sense tag has been inserted after the selected element. It's content area is highlighted in yellow: A Sense element cannot contain anything but other tags, we needn't enter any content in the field. Next step is to add child elements to the new Sense we are defining. Copyright IDM 2003-2004 Page 14 / 27
IDM – Dictionary Publishing System – Editor's documentation Adding a child element Daughter elements make up the content of their related “mother” element. For instance, Head and Sense are daughters of Entry. To go on with the creation of our new sense, we are going to add a definition and an example tag. Select the new Sense element, and to launch the Template Picker, either: • right click on the selected element and choose Template Picker from the contextual menu, or • click on the Template Picker button in the toolbar, or • press CTRL-I The Template Picker is displayed: Make sure that the Indented tab is active (automatic if you used the CTRL-I shortcut, otherwise select it manually), choose the DEF element from the list an click Insert. The daughter element DEF has been inserted under the new Sense: Unlike the Sense element, the content of the DEF element can (and must) be edited. Click inside the content area. As a consequence, the whole field has now a green background and the default value ( [DEF] ) is highlighted. Key in any text ( for instance “This is my new definition” ) and press Enter. Press F5 to update the sense numbering in the preview pane. Copyright IDM 2003-2004 Page 15 / 27
