mc-next-class

[bneuha]

Hi All,

Say that you have a tag and class called p.Foo, and you want the next tag when you press Return to be a plain old p, does anyone know if that's supported?

The reverse situation would look like this:
p
{
mc-next-tag: p;
mc-next-class: Foo;
}

But, how to go the other way?
p.Foo
{
mc-next-tag: p;
mc-next-class: ??????;
}

If you omit mc-next-class, you get another p.Foo when you press Return. It needs some mechanism to reset the class.

Thanks,
bneuha

Just out of curiosity, what happens if you insert a space instead of leaving it blank? Or try putting two single quotes without a space between them, so it would be mc-next-class: ; or mc-next-class:'';.

Hi -

mc-next-tag only works when you are going from one style to another, e.g. from Heading to Paragraph. As you found, it does not work if you are going from a class to its root style (e.g. from p.Note to p). There was no workaround when I addressed it with tech support.

Thank you for the ideas. After some experimentation, the following syntax appears to work:

mc-next-class: ' ';

(that's tick-space-tick; and you need the space)

Note that that enters a class with a space; e.g.

Code: Select all

<p class=" ">

But I guess the space won't cause a problem.

Interesting, works for me. Thanks for posting.
