Displaying quotes
by Thomas Zastrow 24 May '07

24 May '07

Hello, I have XML-files with "-quotes in the content of elements. If I open such a file, Oxygen always displays them as HTML-codes &quote; Is it possible to change that behavior, so that the original " are shown? Thanks.

content completion feature extension idea
by Chris Chiasson 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

In validated editing mode, if the content completion mechanism is used to create a new element that isn't allowed to have child elements, could the mechanism create an empty tag instead of balanced start-end tags? This would save just a little bit of time when creating, for example, xref elements: http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/xref.html start tag/end tag/empty element tag terminology: http://www.w3.org/TR/xml11/#sec-logical-struct -- http://chris.chiasson.name/

InvocationTargetException
by Chris Lilley 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

Hello oxygen-user, oXygen 8.1 is failing to start, it gives FATAL ERROR Cannot start <oXygen/> XML Editor Due to java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException I have tried re-running the oXygen installer, choosing 'repair', and I have tried running the java upddater, which took me from jre1.5.0_08 to jre1.6.0_01, but neither of these things has fixed the problem. I'm not sure what has caused this error to start happening. I attached a screenshot, and cc'ed George in case the list does not like attachments. If there is a log file somewhere with the complete error details I am happy to send that if told what to send. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Interaction Domain Leader Co-Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG

ISO Schematron support?
by David Sewell 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

I see that O'Reilly has just released a title in their "short cuts" series, SCHEMATRON by Eric van der Vlist. It includes discussion of ISO Schematron: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596527716/cover.html I know that ISO Schematron is still formally in beta. Will oXygen wait until a formal release to add support for it, or maybe incorporate the beta version if it seems to be robust enough?

xdt namespace prefix
by Gary Gapinski 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

As recently noted in http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=461B7747.3020502%40…, the subject prefix and associated http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-datatypes namespace have subsumed by the http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema namespace. However, <oXygen/>'s inbuilt schema annotation still specifies, for example, "adjust-dateTime-to-timezone($arg as xs:dateTime?, $timezone as xdt:dayTimeDuration?) as xs:dateTime?" for the adjust-dateTime-to-timezone function. Would it be possible to alter the annotations to specify the xs prefix in some future version? Regards, Gary
