Add Attributes

Attributes are used for many different purposes in Paligo, including applying filters to your elements to include or exclude content in different scenarios. Many attributes come from the DocBook standard, but there are some Paligo-specific ones too.

To add attributes to an element:

  1. Select the element in the topic.

  2. Place the cursor in the Element Structure Menu below the toolbar.
