If not defined, Name is + used as NickName. + </markup> + </literallayout> + </informalexample> +</para> +<para>Once you have created it at put aside of the tag files, load the newly created &DTEP; with <menuchoice><guimenu>DTD</guimenu><guimenuitem>Load DTD Package (DTEP)</guimenuitem></menuchoice> and after it is loaded you can proceed with editing the settings of the &DTEP;. Check the tooltips and the whatsthis text of the entries in the editor dialog to understand the meaning of each entry. Alternatively you can read the <filename>quanta/data/dtep/dtd-description.txt</filename> from the source tarball containing a description about the format. +</para> +</sect2> +</sect1> + +<sect1 id="user-actions"> +<title>User Defined Actions</title> +<para> +Actions are very common in every application. You meed them often when you use any application. Clicking on a toolbar icon, selecting a menu item or using a shortcut usually executes an action. In &quantaplus; actions are taken to the next level. Instead of hardcoded actions (that are created by the application +programmer at the source code level) it is possible for the ordinary user to create and modify actions and by this way adding +new functionality to &quantaplus;. These are the user defined actions, and many of the standard &quantaplus; actions are user defined (and user modifiable) actions as well. +</para> +<para>There are three types of user definable actions: +<itemizedlist> +<listitem><para><link linkend="text-actions">Text actions</link></para></listitem> +<listitem><para><link linkend="tag-actions">Tag actions</link></para></listitem> +<listitem><para><link linkend="script-actions">Script actions</link></para></listitem> +</itemizedlist> +</para> +<sect2 id="creating-actions"> +<title>Creating actions</title> +<para> + You can create an action by going to +<menuchoice> +<guimenu>Settings</guimenu> +<guimenuitem>Configure Actions</guimenuitem> +</menuchoice> +.

With the help of this action you +can run external applications (usually scripts, but it's +not limited to scripts), which can alter your document or use your document (or part of your document) as input. Examples from &quantaplus; itself are the <guibutton>Quick Start</guibutton> dialog, the various <guilabel>View In...</guilabel> actions for the (X)HTML DTEPs. +</para> +<para> +First you have to enter the name of your script with the interpreter as well. Example: +<command>sh /home/myHome/myScript.sh</command>. +</para> +<para> +Although you can use full paths, the recommended way is to use the <command>%scriptdir</command> variable in the command line, like <command>sh %scriptdir/myScript.sh</command>. This way &quantaplus; will try to locate your script in the following places: +<itemizedlist> +<listitem><para>global script folder: <filename><envar>$KDEDIR</envar>/share/apps/quanta/scripts</filename></para></listitem> +<listitem><para>local script folder: <filename><envar>$KDEHOME</envar>/share/apps/quanta/scripts</filename></para></listitem> +<listitem><para>your path: <envar>$PATH</envar></para></listitem> +</itemizedlist> +There are other special variables that you can use in the command line: +<itemizedlist> +<listitem><para><command>%f</command>: will be replaced with the URL of the current document. In case of local documents, file:/ will be stripped from the document.</para></listitem> +<listitem><para><command>%input</command>: will be replaced with the selected input. See below.</para></listitem> +<listitem><para><command>%projectbase</command>: will be replaced with the URL of the current project. It is empty if no project is loaded.</para></listitem> +<listitem><para><command>%pid</command>: will be replaced with the PID of the running &quantaplus; process. If &quantaplus; is running in unique mode, the "unique " text will be prepended to the PID number. Useful when you use DCOP to control &quantaplus; from the external script.</para></listitem> +<listitem><para><command>%userarguments</command>: useful in case of events. This entry will be replaced by the event properties in the following order: <variablelist> +<varlistentry> +<term>First argument</term> +<listitem><para>The unique id of the script</para></listitem> +</varlistentry> +<varlistentry> +<term>Second argument</term> +<listitem><para>the event name</para></listitem> +</varlistentry> +<varlistentry> +<term>Third argument</term> +<listitem><para>the parameters for the event, usually the file name of the current document or the path to the project file.</para></listitem> +</varlistentry> +</variablelist> + </para></listitem> +</itemizedlist> +</para> +<para> +Aside of the above methods the script can receive input from &quantaplus; on the standard input. In the <guilabel>Input</guilabel> combobox you can select what to send to the standard input. Choices are: +<itemizedlist> +<listitem><para><guilabel>None</guilabel>: nothing is sent to the script.</para></listitem> +<listitem><para><guilabel>Current document</guilabel>: the whole document is sent to the script.</para></listitem> +<listitem><para><guilabel>Selected text</guilabel>: the selected area of the document is sent to the script.
