JATS Author Mode Actions

A variety of actions are available in the JATS framework that can be added to the JATS menu, the Author Custom Actions toolbar, the contextual menu, and the Content Completion Assistant.

JATS Toolbar Actions

The following default actions are readily available on the JATS (Author Custom Actions) toolbar when editing in Author mode (by default, they are also available in the JATS menu and in various submenus of the contextual menu):

Paragraph Level Drop-Down Menu

Boxed Text
Inserts or wraps content in a box with a shaded background.
Code
Inserts or wraps content in a code element.
Display Quote
Inserts or wraps content in a disp-quote element.
Figure
Inserts a fig element with a title (inside a caption element). This action opens a dialog box that allows you to enter the text for the title for the figure.
Graphic Figure
Inserts a fig element with a title (inside a caption element), and a graphic element. A dialog box is displayed that allows you to enter the title for the figure, followed by a dialog box that allows you to select the URL of the graphic to be inserted.

Bold
Surrounds the selected text with a bold tag. You can use this action on multiple non-contiguous selections.
Italic
Surrounds the selected text with an italic tag. You can use this action on multiple non-contiguous selections.

Inserts or wraps content with a monospace element.
Insert MathML
Opens the XML Fragment Editor that allows you to insert and edit MathML notations.

JATS Menu Actions

In addition, the following default actions are available in the JATS menu when editing in Author mode:

JATS Drag/Drop Actions

Dragging a file from the view or DITA Maps Manager view and dropping it into a JATS document that is edited in Author mode, creates a link to the dragged file (the ext-link element with the xlink:href attribute) at the drop location. Dragging an image file from the default file system application (Windows Explorer on Windows or Finder on Mac OS X, for example) and dropping it into a JATS document inserts an image element (the inline-graphic element with the xlink:href attribute) at the drop location, similar to the Insert Image toolbar action.
