[oXygen-user] combining oxy_editor with oxy_attributes()?

[Alex Jitianu]

Hello,

oxy_attributes() can't be combined directly with oxy_editor() but there 
are two properties, -oxy-append-content and -oxy-prepend-content [1], 
that can help reduce the number of CSS rules you have to write:

elem[firstAttr] {
   -oxy-append-content: "firstAttr: " oxy_textfield(edit, '@firstAttr');
}


elem[secondAttr] {
   -oxy-append-content: "secondAttr: " oxy_combobox(edit, '@secondAttr');
}

................

So for each possible attribute you just write such a rule to tell what 
type of form control should be presented when the attribute is present 
in the document. Having a fast way to add form controls for all the 
attributes of an element is an interesting use case. I'll add a feature 
request to have such a support. By the way, speaking of such a support,  
how would you prefer Oxygen to decide what form control to use for an 
attribute? Would you prefer to manually specify it or would you want 
Oxygen to automatically infer it from the schema?
