When a DITA topic (of any kind) is opened in XMLmind XML Editor, buttons which are specific to this kind of document are automatically added to the tool bar. This reference contains a description of such buttons.
Button | Description | ||

![]() |
Add a section after node selection or after caret at a location where it is valid to do so and where it makes sense to do so (see note). | ||
![]() |
Open in XMLmind XML Editor the topic referenced in the
conref or href attribute of selected
element.
If this document is already opened in XMLmind XML
Editor, this command brings its view to front and makes it the
active one.

When a DITA topic (of any kind) is opened in XMLmind XML Editor, additional keyboard shortcuts and additional drag and drop facilities which are specific to this kind of document are automatically made available to the user. This reference contains a description of such user input/command bindings.
Keyboard shortcut | Description |
---|---|
Enter |
Inside a p, splits the p in two parts.
Elsewhere, normal behaviour.
|
Del |
At the end of a p, if there is no node or text
selection, joins this p with following sibling p
if any. Otherwise, normal behaviour.
|
BackSpace |
At the beginning of a p, if there is no node or
text selection, joins this p with preceding sibling
p if any. Otherwise, normal behaviour.
|
Ctrl-Enter |
Inside a p or inside any list item, inserts
same element after this one.
|
Ctrl+Shit-Enter |
Inside a p or inside any list item, inserts
same element before this one.
|
F2 e | |
Ctrl-F1 | Browse the DITA reference manual found on the OASIS Web site |
Alt-Drag |
Alt-Drag only works for elements having an id
attribute.
This kind of drag is mainly useful to build a DITA map by
dropping topicrefs. See Creating
a DITA map using drag and drop.
|
Drop |
If the drop occurs above an element having an
href attribute other than an image (e.g. an
xref), the dropped string is considered to be an URL and is
used to change the value of the href attribute.
Note
that this kind of drop attempts to relativize the dropped URL
against the location of the drop site. For example, if you drop
"file://home/john/doc/topic1.dita" onto an xref
contained in file
"file://home/john/doc/ref/reference2.dita", its
href is set to "../topic1.dita".
Elsewhere,
normal behaviour which is:
|
(1) | or explicitly select a cell or an element having a cell ancestor |
(2) | Unlike all
the other add-ons, the RenderX XEP XSL-FO processor plug-in is
not self-contained. You'll need to download, install and
activate RenderX XEP ![]() ![]() |
