New Marked Section Dialog Box
Use this dialog box to create marked section parameter entities.
The New Marked Section dialog box contains the following options:
• Name — provide a name for the new marked section. This name appears inside the markup icon that represents the marked section entity.
• The following status options set the parameters for a marked section. One or more status values may not be available for the currently selected text. This usually happens because the text has an inherited attribute that makes a particular status logically impossible.
You can check more than one status:
◦ INCLUDE — includes the contents of the icon pair during document processing.
◦ IGNORE — omits the contents of the icon pair during document processing.
◦ TEMP — marks the contents of the icon pair as temporary. Use this status to mark text that you may change or modify later. Arbortext Editor treats the status of TEMP the same as INCLUDE.
◦ CDATA — treats as text (character data) the contents of the icon pair that includes valid SGML characters. The parser does not process the contents as markup. Use a marked section with this status to mark an example of straight SGML code you want displayed “as is” in the document.
◦ RCDATA — replaces references with the text the references represent. Use when the icon pair contains replaceable character data such as character, text, or file entity references. Arbortext Editor treats the data the same way as CDATA, except that it replaces the entity references with the data.
• References — includes other marked section parameter entities. In essence this creates a marked section that includes the text specified in the declared entity and the referenced entities. A reference to two other marked section parameter entities called marked1 and marked2 would look like this in the References box:
%marked1 %marked2
The Status keyword values of the referenced marked sections are taken into account during processing, as well as those of the marked section from which they are referenced. IGNORE status has the highest priority, whether specified directly or through a reference.
