hi is there any chance to easely teach oxygen-xml a new syntax like 'framescript' to support source code writing in that language? i'm thinking at color marking, probably syntax checking. regards frank

Re: [oXygen-user] date time format when importing from Excel
by Sorin Ristache 27 Nov '06

Hello Robert, The format of the date in the result of the import operation is the format used by java.util.Date.toString(): dow mon dd hh:mm:ss zzz yyyy (day-of-week month day-of-month hour:minute:second timezone year) If you need an ISO 8601 format I think you can ignore the first token (dow) and rearrange the rest of the tokens. Also you need a mapping from the java.util.Date style of the timezone (GMT, PST, etc) to the ISO 8601 one (-01:00, -10:00, etc). In a future version we will allow the configuration of the date format. Regards, Sorin http://www.oxygenxml.com Robert Walpole wrote: > Thanks Sorin.

date time format when importing from Excel
by Robert Walpole 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

Hi, I am using oXygen's very useful import tool to convert some data in a spreadsheet to XML. In the spreadsheet there are several fields which contain a date/time. When I import these fields they come out in the format <date>Fri Dec 06 00:00:00 GMT 2002</date> no matter what format I use in the source document. It seems to me that oXygen is correctly recognising that these are dates but then putting them into a format which I don't recognise. Really I want them to be ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sss). I have tried defining this as a custom format in the spreadsheet but it is still coming out as shown when I run the import. Is there some way I can specify the format I want in oXygen? Thanks Rob Walpole

doesn't work: Configurable Initial Directory of the File Open Dialog
by Lars Huttar 25 Nov '06

25 Nov '06

Hello, In Oxygen 8.0, build 2006111719, on Windows XP, I went to the Options / Preferences dialog, and for "File chooser dialog opens in" I selected "Directory of the edited file". I clicked OK. Then I clicked on one of the editor tabs to select an open file. I typed Ctrl+O to open the Open File dialog. Expected result: the open file dialog would open in the directory of the edited file. Actual result: it opened in a completely different directory, possibly that of the last opened file. Postscript: later, having restarted Oxygen, I tried this again, and this time it worked as expected. Maybe you have to restart Oxygen after changing the setting? Lars

This worked fine (and still does when I revert back to 7.2) before 8.0. Yes, I have it enabled in the preferences. Anyone else see this? Thanks! -Eric

congratulations on 8.0

:-] Also, I wanted to say that I used your XSLT debugger for the first time a few days ago. It helped me hunt down and correct (via a customization layer) a problem with the DocBook stylesheets mixing the caption content of a DocBook 5 CALS table with its title text in HTML and FO output. I was very impressed. -- http://chris.chiasson.name/

What is the oXygen-8.0 upgrade policy and requirements (costs, license-reissue, etc)? Ray

rc8 and Berkeley XML DB
by Paul Hermans 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

Context: Berkeley DB connection. I have a collection. In this collection I have two types of files: 1) having a normal name such as "a1.xml" 2) having a URI as name, example "http://www.pcce.be/egb/artefact#KF.objecten.111 <https://office.amplexor.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.pcce.be/eg…>" Trying to open files of type 2 (right-click in the database explorer) leads to an i/o error message.
