Creating a Marker (Correction to previous post)

When you create a marker you  need to specify the marker type identifier. If you are using an built-in type, use the name found in the English user interface.

Use GetNamedObject() to get this identifier. Use the appropriate marker type name. (This is a document and not a session property because of the fact that new types can be added to a given document.)

function createMarker(doc, pgf, offset, type, text) {
    var tLoc, marker, markerType;
    tLoc = new TextLoc(pgf, offset);
    marker = doc.NewAnchoredObject(Constants.FO_Marker, tLoc);
    markerType = doc.GetNamedObject(Constants.FO_MarkerType, type);

    marker.MarkerTypeId = markerType;
    marker.MarkerText = text;
    return 1;
}

You only need to  set the marker type properties for a built-in type if you want to change them. For example, add the following line of code to change the type name as displayed in the user interface.

markerType.Name = "My glossary";
