Parameter syntax:
[ '[DocBookIfNone]'|'[DocBook]' ]? [ S entity_name
]?
Inserts at caret position a character specified using its entity name. If the entity name is not specified, this command displays a dialog box (supporting auto-completion) which allows to choose it interactively.
This command does not insert a reference to a character entity, it inserts a character. It must be considered as an alternative to using the Characters tool of XMLmind XML Editor.
Unless the [DocBookIfNone]
option or the [DocBook]
option is specified, this command cannot be executed if the document being edited has no DTD defining character entities.
If the [DocBookIfNone]
option is specified, the dialog box lists the names of the character entities defined in the DocBook 4.2 DTD, but only if the DTD/schema of the document being edited does not define its own character entities.
If the [DocBook]
option is specified, the dialog box lists the names of the character entities defined in the DocBook 4.2 DTD, whatever is the DTD/schema of the document being edited.
