Ajax-like content completion list in oXygen?
by David Sewell 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

I'm wondering how the following might be accomplished in oXygen. Suppose I have an index of terms stored in an XML file, call it "index.xml". The file looks like this: <index> <entry>cats : and dogs</entry> <entry>cats : and mice</entry>  <index> I am editing an XML file, call it "doc.xml", in which I want to insert index terms contained in the index file, like so: <p>In 2006 Felix the cat caught over 200 mice.<index><term>cats: and mice</term></index></p> While editing doc.xml, after I type "<term>", I want to access a list of possible entries drawn from index.xml. Ideally this would be implemented in the manner of popular Ajax-based form entry, so that typing the first few letters would call up a window containing a list of all index entries beginning with those letters. Because index.xml could contain thousands of entries, this goes beyond what oXygen content completion or code templates are designed to do. Would this task require writing a plug-in for oXygen? Or are there off-the-shelf Ajax tools that would work with the Eclipse version of oXygen to enable this kind of interaction?

Implementing a URI Protocol Handler Plugin
by Eliot Kimber 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

I'm trying to implement a custom URI protocol handler and as part of that I'll be creating my own dialogs for choosing objects from the RSuite repository. My question is: does the URLChooserPluginExtension have access to the parent frame of the Oxygen application? I see that for example selection plugins do but I don't see any indication that URL chooser plugins do, but I think it would be good, for example, to be able to position my dialog relative to the Oxygen window or get minimize events or whatever (which I think getting the frame lets me do--I'm very new to Java GUI programming).

Schematron, XPath 2.0, "fn" prefix
by Brett Zamir 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

Hi, Sorry, nevermind, I found the answer here: http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=8533&sid=4cd8a0006d04818872a… I also discovered that one should not use the namespace bindings in scope for the elements and attributes on the assert evaluations (as I tried to do on the <schema> element), but should only use those on <ns>. (And, my rule context was inappropriate to be used with '.'.) thanks, Brett ------------------------------------------------------------ Hi, (I also posted this basic message in the online forums) I'm trying to use an XPath 2.0 (regular expression) function within Schematron, and I'm seeming to have a problem with the supposedly optional namespace "fn" when I try to validate. The error message I get is: The URI http://www.w3.org/2003/11/xpath-functions does not identify an external Java class I've tried it with and without the namespaces, whether in <schema>, <ns>, or within assert@test... I've also specified in the options that I want XPath 2.0, and it's showing up correctly as 2.0 in the toolbar. I'm using the trial edition of Oxygen Home edition, though from the feature comparison chart at http://www.oxygenxml.com/feature_matrix.html , I don't see any feature missing there that I need for this... Any ideas of what I need to do? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <schema xmlns="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron" xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2003/11/xpath-functions"> <ns prefix="tei" uri="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" /> <ns prefix="fn" uri="http://www.w3.org/2003/11/xpath-functions" /> <pattern id="Bahai_Date"> <rule context="tei:date/@calendar"> <assert test="fn:matches(., 'Bahai')">The date's calendar should be set to "Baha'i"</assert> </rule> </pattern> </schema> sincerely, Brett

I'm talking of similar support to that provided to DocBook and TEI-- > constructing transformation scenarios in a few UI simple steps. You can see how the DITA support is configured in oXygen 9 in Options -> Preferences -> Document Type Association -- DITA. If you select the DITA document type and press the edit button you can see that there are three predefined transformation scenarios: DITA to DocBook, DITA to HTML, DITA to PDF. You can add your own scenarios to this list. In your case the editing support added by the Ant plugin to Eclipse is not needed so the Eclipse Ant plugin does not simplify using the DITA Open Toolkit. I think you can execute the DITA build scripts both from oXygen standalone with Ant configured as an external tool and from the Ant plugin. Regards, Sorin

UI questions
by Khaled Aly 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Hello I've got several questions that are mostly UI related: - When we split screen while editing, how can we open different files within each sub-screen? I know that works as it occurred accidentally while I was dragging a file tab, but I cannot re-produce it. - Can we have multiple project files *.xpr opened and presented within the project/file pane on the left? Advantage: When we switch project using Project > Re-open, one must save the current project files, and then open the other project files as needed. With multiple project trees, it's simpler to relate across files from each. - There probably should be a way to validate *.xsl files since there is an XSL (1.0) DTD. When I try to validate I get an error msg that JAXP isn't installed. "The transformer JAXP is not present! Please install it in the folder: file:/C:/Program Files/Oxygen XML Editor 8.2/lib/" - Anyone has links to multiple output extension XSL elements when Saxon or Xalan are used for transformation to HTML (analogous to the <xt:document)? - Soren: any plans of introducing a "tagged" view in the next release, in addition to "Text" and "Grid"? - I'm not familiar with Eclipse and I currently use the standalone oXygen version. But I believe Eclipse must have Ant installed, so would this be of help for editing and executing Ant build files for DITA on the same platform? I'm not sure, otherwise, if Oxygen built-in transformers (e.g. Saxon 6.5.5) can be use with a 'standalone' Ant version, or would one in this case need to install the processor separately? Many thanks Khaled

Jing stack size
by Alex Brown 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

Hello I'm using oXygen (7.2) as a plugin for Eclipse (3.2) to develop a RELAX NG schema. The schema has now reached a size/complexity for which the Java JVM stack size needs to be increased for Jing (on the command line) to function correctly. Assuming oXygen uses Jing behind the scenes, how can I alter the JVM arguments used to invoke it? - Alex. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Alex Brown Director Griffin Brown Digital Publishing Ltd Orwell House Cowley Road Cambridge CB4 0PP United Kingdom t +44 (0) 1223 425730 f +44 (0) 1223 425384 w http://www.griffinbrown.co.uk/ b http://www.griffinbrown.co.uk/blog/ Griffin Brown Digital Publishing Limited is a company registered in England with company number 3298691.
