Format and Indent Problem
by Jeff Sese 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi, As I have read on previous posts, oXygen classifies mixed content based on the current contents of an element, is this correct? If so, is it possible for oXygen to classify elements based on the declarations made in the DTD or Schema it is associated to? I know that the work around for this is to specify the pattern of elements that you want to preserve the whitespace in the preferences or to manually insert an xml:space="preserve" attributes for these elements, but if an XML is associated with a DTD or a Schema then you can tell whether whitespace in that element is ignorable or not. Currently what I've been doing is for every project I have to specify in the pattern listing all the mixed content elements that are defined in the DTD/Schema so that when I do a pretty print the whitespace is preserved and this method is very troublesome. Is there anymore workaround for this other than the ones I mentioned above? Or can this be considered as an added feature for a future version of the product? Thanks, Jeff

Can't edit 11 meg file
by Timothy Reaves 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

I'm trying to open & edit an 11 meg file. When I do it errors with: "Please restart after allocating more memory to oxygen. For this modify the parameter -Xmx in the startup script, for example - Xmx700m. In case you were running a diff tool when this problem occurred you can try to use another algorithm next time. For more details see the 'Performance problems' and 'Setting a parameter in the startup script' sections of the User Manual. If you just want to inspect the file, please use the Large File Viewer available from the Tools menu." What gives? This is an 11 meg file; not 11 gig, not 11 tere. 11 meg! If I need to resort to vim, why am I spending money on oXygen?

Docbench
by Khaled Aly 12 Nov '07

Hi Would oXygen or users on list have more information about this bundle: http://www.renderx.com/tools/docbench.html? Advantages it may offer over standalone oXygen 9 for purpose of technical authoring. It refers to DocBook/TEI, but not DITA, which is supported by oXygen 9. In which ways may XEP (one of the main bundle components, which can also be integrated with oXygen 9) be distinct from or advantageous to FOP .94? And otherwise, would the added value be mainly the offered stylesheets? And would it be the same oXygen UI? Thanks ka

regular expression problem
by Toufexis Notis 11 Nov '07

11 Nov '07

Dear all, I am using oxygen 9 for MacOS X. From time to time I have the following problems with find & replace while using regular expressions. I search for <l>(.+)(\d+)(</l>) (in a TEI-encoded verse text find numbers at the end of verse before the closing tag) and want to replace it with <l n="$2"> $1 ($2) $3 (copy the numbers as n attribute within the tag and put also before the closing tags within parentheses) Strangely, from time to time only the first digit is being copied with the replace function, although all digits are being highlighted with the search function. I have not been able to figure out when this happens. The same happens also if instead of (\d+) I use (\d{1,4}). Any ideas what is causing this and how it can be fixed? Best wishes, Notis

Selectively Locking Elements in the Editor
by Eliot Kimber 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

Does Oxygen provide a way to selectively lock elements within the editor or can this be done through a plug-in? There are several use cases: 1. Lock and element and all its descendants 2. Lock an element and some of its descendants. 3. Lock the attributes but not the content of an element. 4. Lock the content but not the attributes of an element. Thanks, Eliot -- W.

Validation of no-namespace Schema-based Document
by Eliot Kimber 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

I'm trying to figure out how or if its possible to validate a schema-based document against a schema where the system location is a relative URI resolved through a catalog. Here's my document element: <document xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="simpletest_nons.xsd"> This document validates when it's in the same directory as the schema. Here is my catalog: <catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog" prefer="public"> <system systemId="simpletest_nons.xsd" uri="simpletest_nons.xsd" /> <uri name="simpletest_nons.xsd" uri="simpletest_nons.xsd" /> <uri name="urn:simpletest.gidi.org" uri="simpletest.xsd" /> </catalog> When I try to validate the above document stored in a location separate from the schema, validation fails with messages to the effect that it can't find the schema, with an effective URI that reflects the location of the document. Actually I get the same sort of failure for a namespaced document valid against a namespace-governing schema, e.g.: <document xmlns="urn:simpletest.gidi.org" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:simpletest.gidi.org simpletest.xsd"> Is it possible to use catalogs to remap non-absolute URIs in this way or must I use absolute URIs for the schema location value?

SVN clint ssh issues
by Timothy Reaves 10 Nov '07

The first defect is that this STILL doesn't use ssh agent, as it should. The second defect is that it does not store credentials even when instructed to.

Problem with Plugin-Specific Dialog During Save
by Eliot Kimber 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

This is using V9 on OS X Tiger. My URI handler plugin puts up a dialog on save to capture information needed to commit the file back to the repository. If I do File->Save or click the save button, then I get the usual "save in progress" dialog with my dialog above it. However, if I do "ctrl+s" to save then sometimes my dialog comes up under the progress dialog and I can't figure out any way to bring it to the front. I tried doing this: CommitDialog.toFront(); CommitDialog.setVisible(true); But it appeared to have no effect; Is there a solution to this? Thanks, Eliot -- W.

oXygen 9.0 builds and the build 2007110615
by George Cristian Bina 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

Hello, Starting with version 9.0 we decided to make available more builds inside a minor version. We will document all the changes that a build adds on the build history page http://www.oxygenxml.com/build_history.html In general a build will fix problems that appear only in certain circumstances or will add features that were not possible before that build date so users should check if the changes in a new build are affecting them or not before updating. For instance we made available a first build since the initial 9.0 release. This build changes are recorded on the build history page: http://www.oxygenxml.com/build_history.html#build2007110615 As you see the changes are: * Fixed missing resource error when a scenario is edited in the Document Type Association and the GUI interface is in a different language than English. * Updated the TEI P5 framework to the latest version, that is 1.0. So, you should consider getting this build only if you are using oXygen in a language different than English and you want to customize the document types or, if you are using TEI and you want to use TEI P5 1.0. Otherwise there is no need to move to this new build. All new builds will be announced on the this list.
