Enable or Disable Correction of Element Structures

DocBook XML allows para elements to contain other block elements, such as other para elements, procedures, and admonitions. This structure can cause problems when translating content. To avoid these translation issues, Paligo can automatically convert your content so that block structures are not positioned inside para elements.

Note

If your content has block structures inside para elements and it has been translated previously, please contact customer support before enabling this feature.

To turn the automatic fix feature on or off:

  1. Select the topic or component in the Content Manager to open it in the Editor.
