Content editor

User guide


1. Take a look

1.1. User interface

The editor offers all the functions necessary for structured writing: it allows you to manipulate information and not formatting or layout:

  • As a writer, you associate semantics to groups of words.

    Therefore, you don’t work on a document as it’ll be published.

  • The stylesheet of each publication takes advantage of the semantics to apply the expected formatting.

[Tip]Data processing

Structuring content also allows treating information for other goals than formatting, like compiling names of products mentioned in a document.

Calenco editor has several areas:

We believe that you don't have to know the code in detail to produce your documentation. Nevertheless, documents delivered with Calenco are conform to the DocBook XML standard.

The editor guides you at each step ensuring this conformity.

When inserting elements, the editor proposes you options with the following icons. Click on the icon corresponding to your need:

Table 1. Insert options

The element is inserted at this place.

[Tip]

A tool tip shows the level of structure where the element will be inserted.

The inserted element encompasses the current element.

The inserted element overwrites the current element.

The element is inserted at this position in the text.


1.2. To manipulate elements

Structured documents are made of elements nested in one another. Those elements are represented under different aspects:

  • the element in the Context,
  • vertical bar, on the left of the element in the area for editing,
  • a tree item in the navigation tab on the left.

You can select these elements by clicking on their representation to perform the desired actions.

2. To structure

The structure of the document is represented as a table of content in the area on the left. This view allows navigating through the document and modifying it.

This area can be hidden using located at the top left of the Calenco logo, to enlarge the editing area.

2.1. To navigate

In the table of content, click on a title to quickly access the corresponding content.

[Tip]

Use the keyboard shortcut Alt+Wheel to fold or unfold the structure.

2.2. To add structure elements

You can insert content-structuring elements in two ways:

  • From the icon bar Structure;
  • Form the contextual menu of the table of content.

2.3. To change level of structure

To reorganize the structure of the document sometimes implies to change the type of element.

The following features allow to turn elements (part, chapter, section) into other elements depending on the need, promoting or demoting the element in the structure.

You just need to select the involved title and launch the command:

[Important]Create a new title

To promote a paragraph consists in turning it into a section.

2.4. To divide a structure

To divide a structure allows to create two structures of the same kind as the current structure: the content is divided in 2 structures from the cursor.

See the demonstration of the interface and the basic features of the editor:

2.5. Transform a structure

It is possible to transform an entire file using a transformation style sheet.

In the menu ToolsTransform, choose the style sheet corresponding to the need:

The editor closes the file and reopens it with the transformations. The version history is updated.

[Important]

The transformations are completely personalized and are the result of development.

Please contact your usual NeoDoc contact ( ) to define your needs.

3. To produce

Inline elements are accessible in the menu Content.

3.1. To insert a table

Use the icon bar Tables and images to insert a table.

Use the icons and to add or delete lines or columns.

Use the Table menu or the contextual menu (right click on the upper gray bar, in a cell or on the gray bar to the left of a row) to modify the structure of a table or the configuration of its elements:

Figure 1. Table context menu

Figure 3. Context menu of a line

Context menu of a line

The icon on top left displays identifiers of lines and columns: it’s especially useful to set up calculations (Variables and functions in a table).

3.1.1. Check conformity of tables

This feature checks the conformity of tables. This feature is especially useful when importing files with merged cells in tables.

  1. Click on TableValidate tables.

  2. If there is at least an error in a table, a message describing the error found is displayed on the screen:

    By clicking on the error, the corresponding table is displayed on the screen.

[Important]

Validity of tables is automatically checked when saving.

Those errors are not blocking for editing but they might be blocking for publishing: we strongly advice to correct them when encountered.

3.2. To insert an image

It is possible to insert images in contents. Different formats are supported:

  • JPG - compressed format, suitable for photos.

  • PNG or GIF - raster image, suitable for screenshots and graphics.

  • SVG - vector format, suitable for illustrations.

    [Tip]SVG and translations

    Translation tools support this format: it allows to share a unique picture through different languages.

[Note]Other formats

Other formats such as PDF or TIFF can be used as images but are not recommended because not necessarily compatible with all your publication formats.

7. To profile

Profiling makes it possible to specify the context relating to a specific content, the profile of this information. For example on the maintenance manual of a vehicle, a chapter can be specific to a variant (heat engine, electric or hybrid). Or even to specify that some information is confidential.

This makes it possible to manage all the variants of the same document from a single source, while leaving the possibility of generating a final publication for each variant.

Another use of this functionality is to modify the layout according to the profile of the information (confidential information will be framed in red for example).

Prepare profiling by reading To customize attributes.

7.1. To profile contents

To condition the publication of a content or specify it so that a specific treatment is applied when publishing:

  1. Select the element and use contextual menu Profiling:

  2. Check the use cases corresponding to the selected content:

[Tip]

You can find the list of profiling attributes in the official DocBook documentation.

[Note]

Profiled elements are represented with a colored background. Profiling attributes are indicated in the list of attributes by the same color background:

[Note]

It is not always possible to define a list of values for a given attribute.

In this case, directly key-in values in the list of attributes or in the dialog Properties if the attribute had been selected to be quickly accessible (see To customize attributes).

Check out the Content Profiling video:

7.2. Search an item by attribute

  1. Use feature ToolsFind elements by attribute.

    Select one of the listed attributes and then a value: elements having this attribute with this value are listed.

  2. Click on elements to display the element on screen, with an orange border.
