Element Attributes

In the DTD editor dialog, the full list of element types appears on the left, under the heading “Element types”. See the screenshot below:

Figure 30: DTD editor dialog, Element editing window: Editing the “Combination” element

To create a new element type, click on the “Add new element” button below the element list, near the bottom left of the dialog. Existing element types may be renamed or removed using the “Rename element” and “Remove element” buttons below the element list.

WARNING: If one removes an element type in the DTD editor dialog, all existing elements of that type throughout the dictionary will be removed.

Element Attributes

Each element in the DTD has its own set of attributes. When an element is selected in the list of elements on the left of the DTD editor dialog, the “Attributes of this element” window on the “DTD structure” tab, shown in the screenshot below, displays a list of the attributes for that element. For example, if “Lemma” is selected, all lemma attributes are shown, such as “LemmaSign”, “Pronunciation”, “Etymology”, etc. (These are the attributes that are shown under “Attributes (F1)” when a node of this element type is selected in the Tree View while editing the dictionary.) New attributes may be added using the “Add attribute” button to the right of the list of attributes. Existing attributes may be renamed using the “Rename attribute” button. The order that attributes appear under “Attributes (F1)” may also be modified by using the “Move up” and “Move down”
