[![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.org/oxygenxml/webapp-charpicker-plugin.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/oxygenxml/webapp-charpicker-plugin)

A plugin for Oxygen XML WebAuthor that adds support for inserting special UTF-8 characters

## Installation

To install this plugin, download one of the releases ([link](https://www.oxygenxml.com/maven/com/oxygenxml/web-author-charpicker-plugin/)) and [upload it in your Web Author deployment](https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-webauthor/topics/webapp-configure-plugins.html).

## Use

Once installed, you should find the ![charpicker button](/resources/InsertFromCharactersMap24.png) button in the framework toolbar. Clicking it presents a grid with 21 recently used characters.

Initially, the grid contains a set of commonly used characters.

Clicking on the **More symbols...** button will open a dialog box where you can search for special characters in one of the following ways:

- by partial or full name (ex: "left arrow")

- by categories and subcategories

- by their hex value

## Configuration

From the plugin configuration page (found in the "Plugins" section in Web Author's administration page), you can:

- Use the **Remove categories** field to remove one or more categories shown in the "By categories" tab (you can also use the * character to completely remove the "By categories" view).

- Use the **Default recently used characters** field to set the default characters shown in the recently used characters grid.
