I'd really like to see some menu consolidation on both oXygen and SVNClient. On the Mac especially, it's very apparent that there are just too many main menu categories. As I work on a laptop during the week, I'm always faced with other things I expect to be on the menu not being there (because the many items of oXygen force off other things, like battery meter). This may be partially exacerbated by the font choice. Is the menu font the standard OS choice? Thanks.

Font metrics file location

Where are these xml files supposed to go? If I put them in the directory specified in the PDF on the site, they are not found. If I hard code them in the fopConfiguration.xml, they are found. But I'd prefer not to hard code the location.

Re: [oXygen-user] weird transformation error message
by Sorin Ristache 17 Aug '06

Hello, I think 20060628 means June 28, 2006 which is older, not newer than the date of the stable release, June 29, 2006. As we specify on the Download page of the oXygen website we support only stable official releases of Eclipse. This is why I recommend an official release of Eclipse. Anyway the Warnings view is a built-in view of Eclipse with no connection to the oXygen plugin.

weird transformation error message
by Chris Chiasson 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

In transforming a document that came out fine and produced only the standard "stripping ns from DocBook 5/NG ...", "processing stripped ...", "id recommended on..." warnings, the oXygen Eclipse plugin (assumedly) poped up a window saying "an error occurred" and "see error log for details". The dialog had only an OK button. The error doesn't seem to appear on repeats of the same transformation, but I have seen it before when working with the oXygen plugin. I am not sure where to look for the aforementioned log. A search of the oXygen site does not reveal the message. So, to the point: Has anyone seen this error message? What, if anything, may be done to eliminate it? -- http://chris.chiasson.name/

XInclude
by Mark Seaborne 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

Hi I am just starting to experiment with Oxygen's XInclude support. I now have a document that uses XInclude and Oxygen has XInclude switched on. Apart from checking well-formedness/validity across the XML instances what other functionality does Oxygen give me? For example can I view the document with the XInclude statements resolved, or can I choose to save the document either before or after XInclude processing? The help documentation is not very forthcoming on the subject (unless I am missing something obvious, which I don't rule out). All the best Mark

two newbie questions
by Chris Chiasson 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

Hello oXygen-user list, Will someone please explain how to add oXygen project resources to an existing Eclipse project? I can't make it transform the existing xml files in one of my projects. Failing that, will someone please explain why the standalone editor does not automatically show the result of a transformation in the project tree when the advice in this thread (about using oXygen on a Subversion checkout) is followed? http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6035&sid=da8c7ae54211a6df2df… Thank you kindly, -- http://chris.chiasson.name/

set schema on version attribute
by Chris Chiasson 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

Is there a way to have oXygen select different RELAX NG schemas depending on the version attribute of an XML document's root element? Also, why, if I make a document like the following, do I receive the error, "element "equation" from namespace "http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" not allowed in this context. Is it not allowed in the schema? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <equation xmlns='http://docbook.org/ns/docbook' version='5'> <title>Fermat's Last Theorem</title> <alt>x^n + y^n ≠ z^n ∀ n ≠ 2</alt> <mathphrase>x<superscript>n</superscript> + y<superscript>n</superscript> ≠ z<superscript>n</superscript> ∀ n ≠ 2</mathphrase> </equation> Thank you, -- http://chris.chiasson.name/

Re: xml catalog relative path resolution
by Alexander Voss 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

Hi, thanks for the clarification. I read your message as saying that oXygen complies with the specification. However, as I see it this leaves an important question open: in the absence of an explicitly defined base URL, what is taken to be the base? The location of the XML catalogue or the current working directory? oXygen seems to use the latter whereas other tools seem to use the former. (e.g., Ant, see http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/xmlcatalog.html although this page does not say anything about the xml:base attribute???) If the specification does not define what base URI is used in the absence of an xml:base attribute then it is incomplete. I should either define a sensible default (such as the XML catalogue location) or declare this illegal (i.e. you must not have a relative URI if you don't specify a base URI). IMHO the former would be much more useful. I hope I haven't missed anything. If I am right about this is it not time to change the spec?

xml catalog relative path resolution
by Alexander Voss 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

Hi, can anybody say what the resolution algorithm is for resolving relative paths given in XML catalogues? Or point me to a place that explains this? All the examples I have found use absolute paths but I want to be able to check the XML catalogue into a repository which also contains the DTD files, so people can check out the whole thing and only need to register the XML catalogue in their local preferences. Cheers, Alex -- Alexander Voss, Research Associate School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh 1 Buccleuch Place, Edinburgh EH8 9LW Office +44 131 650 4412 Lab +44 131 650 8288 NTRAC +44 131 537 3363 Skype alexander.voss Email avoss(a)inf.ed.ac.uk Homepage http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/avoss

Transformation scenario error message?
by Timothy Reaves 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

I have a Transformation Scenario that fails. This scenario uses a customization layer, and a FOP configuration file for embedding fonts. I've checked and double checked all my paths, and they are accurate: the FOP configuration file (I used the browser to select the file), the font metrics and TTF locations, etc. The only error I get when it fails is below: Description: The process 'FOP' ended with code : 2 The error was : [ERROR] null Is there any way to get more output? Thanks.
