Hello gurus!!

So I was wondering, how can I change the content from one element, let's say a Title inside my document opened in Arbortext Editor? I'm not sure at this moment which ACL command can I use for that purpose.

Thank you!

    Hi Paulette--

    The easiest thing is to delete the old content and insert the new. Something like this should do the trick:

    function replaceContent(oid, newContent) {

    # where oid is the oid you want to modify, and newContent is a markup string you want to put there instead of what's there now

    oid_delete(oid, 0x2); # 0x2 flag = delete element content, but preserve tags

    goto_oid(oid);

    insert(newContent);

    }
