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

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?

oXygen 9 beta adding WYSIWYG like editing support
by George Cristian Bina 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

Hello, In case you did not find out already - we made available a beta version of oXygen 9 http://www.oxygenxml.com/download-beta.html A license key for testing v9 beta is available on the above page. Version 9 runs side by side with version 8 and it is recommended to backup your data as this is a beta version, that means it is not fully tested. The tagless editing support will be available also in the Eclipse plugin - we will make that available as well in a couple of weeks. Best Regards, George --------------------------------------------------------------------- George Cristian Bina - http://aboutxml.blogspot.com/ <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com

stack overflow -- again
by Syd Bauman 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

I know this has been discussed on this list before, and I apologize for not just looking through the archives myself -- my excuse is that I'm on the road, due to teach using oXygen in a matter of hours, and all h#!! is breaking loose. I have generated some schemas that oXygen can't use to validate an instance; and, I note, oXygen can't validate them. In both cases it sufferes a stack overflow. I am using the current release and have set -Xmx999M and -Xms64M at the end of my oxygenMac.sh file (which is how I invoked oXygen). The schemas can be found at http://bauman.zapto.org/~syd/temp/temi.rnc http://bauman.zapto.org/~syd/temp/temi.rng I tried to validate the schemas w/o using oXygen. `jing` complained that the version of relaxng.rng that came with oXygen does not have a <start> element, but it says that temi.rng is valid against the relaxng.rnc that came with nxml-mode. `rnv` agrees on both counts. (I've also tried several diffferent combinations of TEI modules to see what would and would not cause a stack overflow, but do not have a definitive answer yet.) Can anyone provide any useful info here?

emacs key binding in eclipse

Hi, I use emacs key bindings in Eclipse, but CTRL-S (incremental find/search) stops working after installing oXygen 8.2.0 plugin for Eclipse 3.2.2. Any ideas?

Oxygen 8.2: File navigation dialogs very slow
by Eliot Kimber 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

I'm seeing an odd behavior on one of my machines which is that the file navigation dialogs for Oxygen have started responding very slowly. The problem appears to be limited to Oxygen (I don't see the problem in Eclipse or Explorer). It feels like a network timeout problem. Any idea what might cause this or how I can diagnose it? I've tried closing and restarting Oxygen of course. Cheers, E. ---- W. Eliot Kimber Senior Solutions Architect Really Strategies, Inc. 512 554 9368

Re: [oXygen-user] oxygen hangs when saving to URL

Dear Christian, The log files are many and very large. I looked in one of them and I could not find data about the hang. Until I look in all the log files that you sent please try to get a smaller oXygen log with the problem. For this you should close all the files that are already open in oXygen, close oXygen, remove all oxygen.log.* files, start oXygen again, reproduce the problem without any additional work in oXygen if that is possible and send again the generated oxygen.log.* file(s).

oxygen says W3C html strict DTD has errors
by Lars Huttar 21 Sep '07

21 Sep '07

Hello, I'm editing an HTML document in Oxygen. The document begins with <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> When I try to save, Oxygen shows an "error" in the DTD: SystemID: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd Location: 81:5 Description: The declaration for the entity "ContentType" must end with '>'. The offending location is the second of these three lines in strict.dtd: <!ENTITY % ContentType "CDATA" -- media type, as per [RFC2045] --> Maybe this is because the DTD is an SGML DTD rather than an XML one? I don't know, but it seems strange for a W3C DTD to be called erroneous! Incidentally, I think this DOCTYPE declaration was added by HTML Tidy, or possibly by an HTML editor program. Lars

Re: [oXygen-user] oxygen hangs when saving to URL
by Sorin Ristache 21 Sep '07

Hello, I could browse the content of the eXist database and open files in oXygen without problems by using the jar files from the latest eXist distribution available on the eXist website (eXist version 1.1.1 build 4311, build number 20061104). I opened the file db/shared/biblib.xq from the Database Explorer view of oXygen and I edited and saved it without errors or hangs. Also I opened the file using WebDAV (the Open URL action) and I edited and saved it using Ctrl + S without errors or hangs. The same thing happened when I saved the edited file to the same location using WebDAV (the Save to URL action). When I tried to save it to other location (db/shared/biblib2.xq, db/home/chris/biblib2.xq) the WebDAV server reported the 403 Forbidden error which means the guest user does not have permission to create new files. The same thing on both Windows XP and Mac OS X. Can you send detailed steps specifying also the path to a file in the eXist database for opening and saving the file for which oXygen hangs on your computer?

Hello, The two log files show no errors or delays in the communication with the eXist server at http://localhost:8899/exist/xmlrpc. The connections to the server are opened, used for reading/writing and closed without errors. Can I get access to the server to test it myself in oXygen?
