Inserting a reference to a publication module

You can filter by Model, Publication Issuer, and Publication Number to quickly find and insert a reference to a publication module. This feature lets you add references without having to enter the markup manually. The markup that is inserted is consistent with the S1000D issue in which it is being inserted, regardless of the source.

Procedure

  1. In the editor, place your cursor where you want to insert the reference.
  2. Do one of the following.
    • In Arbortext Editor, select Contenta > Insert Reference.
    • In Oxygen XML Author, select the Contenta S1000D tool panel Reference tab.
    If the module is not writable, this command is disabled.
  3. In the Contenta S1000D Insert Reference window, click Publication Module.
  4. In the Model field, click the program to be referenced.
  5. In the Publication Issuer field, click a code or click All.
  6. In the Publication Number field, click a number or click All.
  7. Click Search.
  8. In the Publication Module field, click a module (or CTRL-click to select multiple modules).
  9. Optional: Click Preview if you want to ensure that you have selected the correct PM.
    A read-only copy of the PM opens in a LiveContent Preview window.
  10. Click Insert Reference.

Results

A reference to the selected PM is inserted with the correct markup for the S1000D issue of the module being edited. In a CSDB that supports multiple languages, if language and country codes are defined for the referenced PM, they will be included in the reference markup. After inserting the reference, you can change the languageIsoCode/countryIsoCode attribute values (language/country attribute values in Issue 3.0) if needed, then run Validate to make sure the referenced object exists in that language/country in this CSDB.
