31 May '04

Hi all, There is a benchmark for XML editing systems at TEI where the available results show oXygen as one of the most used editors. The last part of the survey is addressed to all developers so if you have some time to contribute that will be great. Final questionnaire: http://www.tei-c.org/Software/survey.html Results of the first questionnaire: http://www.tei-c.org/Software/Survey_XML_Software.pdf Thank you, George ----------------------------------------------- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor & XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com

how to develop a plugin
by Ibon Aizpurua Ugarte 27 May '04

27 May '04

Hello, I'm new at Oxygen and probably someone has developed what I want. I want to know how can I develop one plugin for Oxygen, one plugin to connect a native XML database exactly. Is it posible? I want to know too if is posible to make one XSL to show to the user only the XML document's content. Thanks _______________________________________________________________________ Ibon Aizpurua Ugarte Eleka ingeniaritza linguistikoa Asteasuain 14 20.170 Usurbil (Gipuzkoa) Tel.:943363040 ibon(a)eleka.net / www.eleka.net

Is it possible to do a batch conversion using a transformation scenario?
by Are Gulbrandsen 27 May '04

27 May '04

Hi Last fall we did a large evaluation of HTML- and XML-editors with WebDAV-support, and sent you a feature request for secure webdav support, and we're happy that you have implemented this. I'm currently evaluating the oXygen editor, and is testing oXygen 4.0 under Mac OS X 10.3.3. I have a few questions about the transformation scenarios. I have used the xslt debugger to make an xslt stylesheet that does an XML2XML transformation. I want to convert a number of XML-documents that use a dtd to a new document structure using an XML schema. I have read the oXygen user guide, used the help system (which seems to be the same) and browsed through your mailing list archive and forum. After trying and failing a bit, the use of the transformation scenario and the use of macros is still unclear to me. I was hoping it would be possible to configure a transformation scenario to do a batch conversion, but I can't se how to do this. I hope you can tell me if this is possible, and how. Basically I want to do the following: Source files: file:/originalDocuments/*.xml XSLT: conversionRules.xsl Output: file:/convertedDocuments/${cfn}Converted.xml The use of the macro ${cfn}Converted would mean that a document with original name dok1.xml would be renamed doc1Converted.xml. Feedback and feature request: ------------------------------------------ (This is my personal feedback and feature requests, not connected to the evaluation I'm doing.) In the user guide you write that there are two types of scenarios: - applying to XML-files - applying to XSL-files It actually took a little time to figure out that the only way to change the type of scenario was to select a differt type of document as the active document. (to change between an xsl or xml document as the active document) Why not make only one "configure transformation scenario"-window which did not depend on the context? (With context I mean the dependence of the active selected document type.) To me the two types of scenarios just reflect two perspectives when working on a conversion. I think it would make much more sense to assume that for a transformation you will always need to specify the following: - a source (XML) - a transformation (XSL) - an output The source: ---------------- It should be possible to choose either an open document, a URI or a macro. It should be possible to specify a directory for batch processing of many files. The transformation -------------------------- It should be possible to choose either an open document or a URI to the XSL document. The output --------------- It should be possible to choose either - to open the resulting document in the editor - to specity a save URI - to specify a macro. It should be possible to specify an output directory and changes in filename for batch processing of many files. Best Regards, Are D.

Hello, Is there anyway to have Oxygen *not* open files automatically? Right now it will open the last used files on start up. Thanks Peter -----<CDE/>----- Center for Document Engineering University of California, Berkeley cde.berkeley.edu
