Creating Marked Section Parameter Entities
This feature is only available with SGML documents. Use marked sections to mark parts of a document for selective processing.
1. If you do not have Full Menus displayed, go to > . Choose the Window category, and check the Full Menus preference.
2. Choose > . The Marked Section Parameters dialog box appears.
3. Click the New button to open the New marked section dialog box.
4. Provide a name for the new marked section parameter entity. This name will appear in the Marked Section Parameters dialog box and the marked section markup tags.
5. Choose a status, 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.
◦ 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.
◦ 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.
6. 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 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.
7. Click OK to close the New marked section dialog box.
8. Click Apply in the Marked Section Parameters dialog box to apply changes made in the Modify dialog box.
