About the API

The API allows integrators to customize the XML editor.

The customization ranges from configuring SDL LiveContent Create to save documents to building custom user interfaces on top of SDL LiveContent Create .

The SDL LiveContent Create API can be accessed in several ways.

Each Xopus Canvas can contain javascript elements that reference script files which will be executed when the canvas is activated.

XSL Stylesheets can output HTML event handlers that can access theSDL LiveContent Create API. See How to use events and How to use the API for more information.

Through the global configuration script in: xopus/config/config.js This script will be executed when SDL LiveContent Create is started and before any document is loaded.
