You can improve support for a DTD by creating a plugin node property dialog. To do this, edit the xds file for the document type, and add a element inside the main , with a “service-id” attribute giving the registered ID of the code providing the GtkWidget for elements of that type. FIXME: write information on how to actually create the plugin For example for the DocBook element; the xds file gives an ID of “docbook-orderedlist-properties”. This is hooked up in the source code in src/plugin-docbook.c to a routine (the C function “docbook_orderedlist_properties_factory_method”) which loads a GUI from a Glade file, and uses a set of utility functions that bind the widgets in the glade file to attributes of the XML element. For example, the radio buttons are linked to the various valid values of the “numeration” attribute.
