4. Screenshot
The following screenshots will show you where to add an action in the <oXygen/> framework. Once
your DITA CMS has started, open the Windows->Preferences dialog.

5. Expand the oXygen XML Editor item and click Document Type Association.
Select the DITA framework and click the Edit button. It should automatically create a DITA – Copy; this is
the one that will be modified.

6. Adding an action requires that you set a couple of preset values, including the xml fragment of
an element to be added as an example. See <oXygen/> documentation for more details.
Here are the steps to add an action to the framework. Clicking the + sign brings up theAction add
dialog.

7. Adding the add.question action
Xml fragment:
<faqitem>
<faqquest>Question?</faqquest>
<faqans>You can google it</faqans>
</faqitem>

8. Adding the del.question action

9. Adding the add.groupQuestion (While doing this we discovered that action names are case-sensitive,
please check the casing if your action s not working).
Xml fragment:
<faqgroup>
<title>Title</title>
<faqlist>
<faqitem>
<faqquest>Question</faqquest>
<faqans>Answer</faqans>
</faqitem>
</faqlist>
</faqgroup>
