Specifying the New Line Element
You can specify the element to be used for a new line in the document type configuration (.dcf) file. This element is entered in a document when a user enters a line break, either from the keyboard (generally mapped to the SHIFT+ENTER keys) or through the > > menu choice. If this option is not set or the specified element is not valid at the cursor location, the _newline processing instruction is entered instead.
To specify the line break element
1. Open Arbortext Architect, and choose > .
2. Locate the directory in which the document type whose .dcf file you want to modify is saved, and click Select.
3. Once the document type is loaded, choose > . If the document type has a .dcf file, it displays in the Arbortext ArchitectDCF Editor window. If there is no .dcf file associated with this document type, Arbortext Architect automatically creates one.
4. Locate the Options element in the DCF Editor. If the file doesn't include a Options element, add one.

You must have the Force Required Attributes EntryEdit preference selected for this dialog box to open automatically. |
6. In the newlineElement field, enter the name of the element you want to use for line breaks. You must enter the valid name of an element in the document type. For example, in HTML document types the br element is used for line breaks.
7. Click OK.
8. Choose > to save the changes you have made to the .dcf file.
