Format and Indent Problem
by Jeff Sese 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

Hey Eliot, Have you started keeping your eye on the element hierarchy list at the top of the document in the Author view? I'm finding it very useful. Not only does it indicate where in the hierarchy the cursor is located, but I can select whole elements from the ancestry of the current cursor position by clicking on its name in the list. To do what (I believe) you're asking about below is as simple as getting the cursor in the right place (in between the wrapper and its first or last child), and using backspace, delete or the equivalent to remove a layer of containment. Other functionalities you're used to from other products can probably be usefully addressed this way too. Of course, when tags are invisible this does require you have a good mental model of your element hierarchy -- but then you have that.

Hi Soren and colleagues, The site bug reporting interface kept trashing my attempt to report this. 9.0: XML and XSLT run fine 9.1: same transform on same files generates Saxon 9B -999 error Can I zip up the xslt and just enough of the XML to recreate this for you? The xml is large. Thanks, Holly Hendricks Mass. Historical Society

Latest 9.1 build 2007122116
by George Cristian Bina 24 Dec '07

24 Dec '07

Hi, As I mentioned a couple of months ago we will make available multiple oXygen builds as some issues are discovered and fixed in oXygen. In general most of the people do not need to upgrade. They need to upgrade only if the issues fixed by the builds will affect their work. Here there are the fixes added since the 9.1 initial build 2007121417: Build 2007121915 * Fix a problems with the remote HTTP resources encoding. The encoding for remote HTTP resources was taken from the HTTP headers, defaulting to ISO8859-1 if nothing was specified, thus bypassing the automatic encoding detection and leading to wrong usage of the ISO8859-1 encoding. * Fixed a problem related with loading of the plugins for the <oXygen/> standalone edition. If a plugin specified a jar with its classes then no plugins were loaded. Build 2007122116 * Fixed the problem of dragging XML elements from the XQuery input view to the XQuery editor. This functionality did not work. * Fixed the UDDI browser connection through the HTTP proxy. The UDDI browser did not use the proxy settings specified in oXygen options. * Fixed the problem of using the XML schema: http://www.w3.org/2001/03/xml.xsd for referring the default xml attributes. The above URL was resolved though the default oXygen catalog to a local copy. The local copy of the schema contained a reference to a DTD that was not available locally. We removed that DTD reference. * Set a Saxon 9 option specifying that all nodes are untyped when using Saxon 9 Basic. This allows Saxon to perform better optimizations and prevents a problem with an exception thrown by Saxon B on a match pattern of the form a[x='value']//b.

validate XML files in eXist collection
by Graaumans, Joris 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

Hi, I've setup a connection with eXist in oXygen 9.0. I can open files, edit them, run xqueries, etc. However, I was wondering: it is possible to validate all XML documents in a collection? Preferably against an external XML Schema. Thanks in advance, Joris

Feature Request: button/keystroke to Untag An Element
by Eliot Kimber 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

I often want to remove a containing element from around one or more child elements. I'm not seeing a direct way to do that in Author. I'd like it to be bound to a keystroke by default and, if possible, on a toolbar button.

Feature Request: Keystroke to Select Element Content
by Eliot Kimber 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

In the Arbortext Editor some keystroke would select the content (but not tags) of the element containing the cursor. Subsequent presses would extend the selection up the ancestry by selecting the containing element, its parent, etc. I used this a lot and I don't see a way to do it in Author mode.

Autoinsertion of Child Elements Leaves Cursor in Wrong Place
by Eliot Kimber 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

Editing a generic DITA topic, if I insert a "ul" element in Author with the no tags or partial tags view, an li element is inserted automatically but the cursor is positioned before the li element, not inside it, which is where I would expect (and want) it to be. Is this a function of the doctype-specific configuration or general behavior of the editor?

Moving Elements in the Outline View : How To Move Nested Element Out
by Eliot Kimber 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

I'm using Author mode to edit some long HTML documents. I've run into the situation where I want to move a nested element out of its wrapper element and make it a sibling of the wrapper. For example, consider this starting state: <div><h1>Level 1</h1> <div><h2>Level 2</h2> <div><h3>Level 3</h3></div> </div> </div> I want to take the "Level 3" div and move it so it is the sibling following the "Level 2" div. Using the outline view, I can grab the inner div but when I try to move it past its containing div, nothing happens. Is this possible to do with the outline view? I haven't noticed any other particularly convenient way to do this sort of structural rearranging.
