Insert attribute epub:type

un_pogaz · 08-26-2022, 03:25 PM

It would be useful to have a tool to easily insert attribute epub:type. There are a lot of them and if you want to use them, you have to be motivated.

As I see it:
It is an entry in the menu "Insert" (conditianal to ePub3) that opens a dialog, similar to the editor of semantics of the HTML elements, and once the epub:type is selected, it is added to the tag in which the cursor is found.
Officially, each epub:type is limited to a certain tag, but in a first implementation, I think you can get past that. Once the base is done you could refine the feature to be compliant with the standard.
It would be very practical.
Thanks

Use sigil clips. I have specific clips for heavily used epub:types.
Yes you must know the rules of which types are allowed where.
