Idea Delivered

XPP 9.3 will include this functionality as described at the conclusion of this thread.

Copy x-path from the Status window and/or Show SGML/XML window

It would be a huge time saving option for developers to be able to copy  the Xpath from both the XPP Status window and the XPP Show Sgml/Xml window. Whilst this would not be in the right format all the time for CSS it would still save a lot of typing for long x-paths, in particular when attributes are included in the required item format or CSS selector.

    Moved away from the status window because it did not fit the model.

    A "Copy Path" button will exist on the Show XML/SGML window as well as in the Line Editor (when in XML/SGML/XML-CSS modes)

    It's especially useful on the "Tree view" because you see the document hierarchy and its a simple click and then paste elsewhere for each of the nodes you are interested in writing style for.

    Also when in CSS mode, the path will be in CSS selector form, so you will get "doc>chap>section>title" which is the form you would use doing CSS development.
