Viewing Element and Attribute Descriptions in a Document
Once you have created an alias map with element and attribute descriptions, you can apply it to a document in Arbortext Editor so you can view the descriptions.
To view element and attribute descriptions in your document:
1. Open Arbortext Editor.
2. Choose > and select a document type or choose > to select an existing document.
3. Choose > .
4. In the
Select Alias Map dialog box, choose the alias map that incorporates the descriptions you want to apply to the document. The dialog box lists all the alias maps located in the same directory as the document type.

Alias maps are associated with a specific document type, not a document. Therefore, an alias map will be applied to all open documents with the same document type as the document in which you apply the alias map. The alias map will also be applied to any documents with the same document type that you open during the session in which you applied the alias map.

5. To view a element description, place your cursor at a point in your document where you know an element with a description is valid.
6. Choose > .
7. Select an element name in the Insert Markup dialog box. If the element has a description, it will display at the bottom of the dialog box.
8. To view an attribute description, select an element in your document that has an attribute with a description.
9. Choose > .
10. Place your cursor over the attribute label in the Modify Attributes dialog box. If the attribute has a description, it will display at the bottom of the dialog box.
When you assign an alias map to a document type, the assignment only applies to the current session. The alias map is not saved with a document type when you save a document to which it is applied. If you want to use an alias map as the default for a document type, you must specify it in the document type's command file using the set aliasmap command.
