In Arbortext Editor, a text entity is a named piece of content. For example, you could create a text entity called Product Name with the content Widget Analyzer 2010. Text entities help you to achieve consistency both within and across documents. Simple enough, right?
Let’s assume that you have an SGML file open and you know that a particular phrase or sentence is already a text entity — but you don’t know the unique name of the text entity. How can you easily figure out the name?
One of my co-workers said that she goes to the View menu and selects Text Entities. The content of the text entity is replaced by a tag that displays the name.
Then I told her my approach. Place your cursor inside the phrase or sentence and choose Entities > Text. The Text Entities dialog box appears with the entity highlighted.
My co-worker said that she liked my approach better. Sweet!
Nice and very interesting post. Your point of view is more or less the same as main. Thanks!
