Oxygen 3.0 - What is
by Sean Wheller 29 Dec '03

29 Dec '03

Hi, Browsing around Oxygen 3.0 I came across the XSL Transformer options under Preferences. What is it used for? Also I noticed the inclusion of JAXP. How is this used? When I select it as a processor I get back the message "Provider not found". BTW, they new interface and the cool new features, like the outline view, are really slick and makes editing a pleasure. I have also found this version to be very stable. I particularly appreciate your adding the ability to set the Internal FOP memory to 1000. I now have a new machine with 1000 MB DRAM and a P4 processor. FOP transformations happen in the blink of an eye running on SuSE 9.0 Professional. The Preserve Space Elements and Strip Space Elements features on the Editor/ Format are really a blessing. I no longer have to so many CDATA's :-) I did pickup a small usability problem with the Spell Checking. The problem is that when you are doing a spell check, you cannot interact with the editor. So you have to close the editor, make the modification you wanted and then restart the spell check. Which of course takes you back to the beginning of the document. It would be more streamlined if either of the following were enabled: - editing is possible while running the spell check. - resume spell from cursor or last position. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to everyone. Sean Wheller

Hi Sylvain, We meet once again:-) Oxygen V3.0 has taken account for this with a feature called "Preserve space elements". This feature is part of the Format preferences. It allows you to add or remove elements to which you want to preserve the space.

Suggestion concerning indentation
by Sylvain Perchaud 19 Dec '03

19 Dec '03

Buna, I'm using the <literallayout> element for a DocBook document. When I work, I use the "indent the document" button before saving a file. Unfortunately this function also indents what's inside the <literallayout> element. Would it be feasible to modify the "indent the document" function so that it takes into account the <literallayout> element (and other "verbatim" elements) ? I'm using oXygen 2.0.4 -- Sylvain Perchaud Tel : +33 (0) 674 758 551 http://www.europe-shareware.org

Re: [oXygen-user] problem with a docbook file

> Buna / Bonjour / Hello, Shalom, Sawubona, Sylvain, I had that same problem once or twice, but always found it difficult to replicate. Even though I had the Tag Insight -> Default set to the Docbook DTD there were times when insight did not seem to parse the DTD and display the elements as they should be. When I used to save the document and close it and re-open the problem was somehow resolved. Sometimes it was my own fault, as I had induced an error such as not closing an itemizedlist or inserting one to many closing tags. Since version 3.0 I have not found this problem again. Only once very early in the development of V3. when it would learn the document. I mentioned it to Dan but he could not replicate the problem. He did make a suggestion, but as I was not able to replicate the problem I was not able to apply it. I have tried replicating your document here, but code insight works as required. Glad it's not only me that saw this behavior. I was beginning to think it was me, seeing things again. Sean Wheller __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!

People like me don't use the Stylesheets bundled with Oxygen. We tend to move with the SF CVS. Can you post the patch, so that we can circumvent this problem should we need to use article inside book. Thanks, Sean Wheller __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!

problem with a docbook file
by Sylvain Perchaud 16 Dec '03

16 Dec '03

Buna / Bonjour / Hello, I'm currently producing a document with docbook and faced a strange behaviour of oXygen this morning. (I'm working with a project file, with docbook.dtd as default DTD for Code Insight) I created a new file with the following structure : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <sect1> <sect1info> <authorgroup> <author> <firstname>xx</firstname> <surname>xx</surname> <affiliation>xx</affiliation> </author> <author> <firstname>xx</firstname> <surname>xx</surname> <affiliation>xx</affiliation> </author> </authorgroup> <copyright> <year>xxxx</year> </copyright> </sect1info> <title>xx <ulink url="xx"/> </title> and then wanted to create a paragraph <para> here. But Code Insight didn't had <para> in its suggestion list. I nevertheless inserted my <para>xx</para>, and then wanted to insert an image. So I typed "<media" but Code Insight only suggested me <medialabel> and <mediaobject> was not available in the list. I wrote the following structure : <mediaobject> <imageobject> <imagedata align="xx" fileref="xx" format="xx"/> </imageobject> </mediaobject> and closed my file with </sect1> I was able to produce the manual as a PDF file but I don't understand why Code Insight didn't work on this file while there was no problem on other files (the other files didn't have the <sect1info> element) My configuration : oXygen 2.0.4 on Mac OS 10.3.1 using Apple's Java 1.4.1 -- Sylvain Perchaud Tel : +33 (0) 674 758 551 http://www.europe-shareware.org

JAI
by Sean Wheller 15 Dec '03

Hi, Is there any benefit to using JAI instead of JIMI? What is the instruction for installing JAI so that Oxygen can use it during FO transforms? Sean Wheller __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo! Photos - easier uploading and sharing. http://photos.yahoo.com/

Hi Marius, I saw this in the forum after I posted my message. Did FOP 0.20.5 work? If it did then all I need to do is figure out how to install it as an extern fo processor. I still have to try that procedure out for myself. Perhaps once I know how it works, then I will write a HOW-TO. Sean Wheller __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
