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

I appreciate the considerate response, Sorin. > We will modify the double click action. A double click on an > attribute name or an attribute value will select the whole > the attribute. A double click on a single tag will select > the whole tag including the '<' and '> characters. Thanks, that sounds good. I'm unsure whether everyone else will agree with this, so it should probably be an option in Preferences. > > You are the only user that requested to clear the clipboard when > > nothing is selected in the editor panel. > I don't think FJ was requesting the clipboard be cleared, I think he > was complaining about it. Syd is correct: I was complaining. Cmd-V is an awkward chord on a Mac keyboard, and I often accidentally hit Cmd-C when I intended to paste. My clipboard is then cleared, an annoyance that's impossible to undo. > In version 9.2 we will add the option "Cut/Copy whole > line when nothing is selected" for the text editor in > Options -> Preferences -> Editor.

Feature requests

Hi, I'm a very satisfied oXygen user (primarily working in XHTML and CSS), but I'd be happier still if it had the following simple enhancements: (I'm using oXygen 9.1 build 2007122116 on OS X Tiger) 1. Remember last Ctrl-E (wrap tags) value -- currently always defaults to 'a' 2. Improve Ctrl-E (wrap tags) to allow .class and #id attribute specification (e.g. I could Ctrl-E span.active and get <span class="active"></span> 3. Major annoyance (and arguably a bug): Don't clear clipboard when copying nothing (hitting Ctrl-C or X with nothing selected.) 4. Need shortcuts to make it easier to select attribute/value pairs and single tags (so that you don't have to drag-select around <tag> or attribute="value") Triple-click is already taken, so maybe Ctrl-click or something. 5. Cursor movement up/down: always remember x position from line to line, even after pasting. This is a little harder to explain. Basically, I'd like oXygen to behave like Textpad. Imagine you have a number of lines and you want to paste "<li>" in front of each. If I position the cursor in the right place for the first line, paste, then press down, I expect to be in the right place for the next line. But in oXygen, I'll be 4 characters to the right (from the end of the <li>) Bug fixes: 6. The "Delete Tag" keyboard shortcut on Mac (Cmd-Opt-X) doesn't work 7. The CSS validator doesn't recognise unitless line-height I'd appreciate it if you could consider these for a minor upgrade! (And anyone else reading this -- if you agree or disagree please say so.) francois -- francois(a)isotoma.com / Isotoma, Open Source Software Consulting Tel: 01904 567349 / Mobile: 07872 394273 / Fax: 020 79006980 Skype: fjordaan / http://www.isotoma.com Postal Address: Tower House, Fishergate, York, YO10 4UA, UK Registered in England.

Caching doc() calls
by Andrew Welch 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

It seems oXygen caches the XML from calls to doc() between runs? If you run a transform with doc('foo.xml') and then delete foo.xml, you can still run the transform! The doc() call works without causing an error... It's just taken me a while to figure out why a transform run from inside oXygen produced different result from the same transform run outside of oXygen - it was because a referenced doc() had been updated while oXygen was open and oXygen wasn't fetching it each time. Shouldn't oXygen's caching resolvers (if that's where the problem lies) only cache per transform run? -- Andrew Welch http://andrewjwelch.com Kernow: http://kernowforsaxon.sf.net/

Hi, Or that insert element window could allow a little XPath: phrase[@condition] gets <phrase condition="">...</phrase> phrase[@condition='active'] gets <phrase condition="active">...</phrase> (Just brainstorming here) Cheers, Wendell At 01:55 PM 3/26/2008, Barton wrote: >It might be more useful for oXygen's Ctrl-E to accept any tag >appended with a dot as an attribute name for the selected element. >Thus, to take a DocBook example, if I select phrase in the Ctrl-E >dialog and then type an extra .condition (the dialog now reads >phrase.condition), oXygen could know to translate this as <phrase >condition="">selected text</phrase>.

[xsl] Transformation from XSL1 to XSL2 error
by Dam's 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

Hi, I need to transform some XSL1 stylesheets to XSL 2 to use them with Saxon 8.7.3. I changed the version in the declaration and some little other things, but, obviously, it's not enough... I have an error which's making me crazy... > An attribute node (color) cannot be created after the children of the > containing element > The transformation failed due to an XML parsing or transformation error. > It seems to be about this part of my XSLs : > <xsl:template name="process.change"> > <xsl:param name="CHG"></xsl:param> > <xsl:if test="$CHG='ADD'"> > *<xsl:attribute name="color">red</xsl:attribute> (Especially this line!)* > </xsl:if> > <xsl:if test="$CHG='MOD'"> > <xsl:attribute name="color">orange</xsl:attribute> > </xsl:if> > </xsl:template> I don't understand what's the problem with color attribute node... I searched again and again with google... Some users have the same error but I don't understand how to resolve it in my case. Someone could help me, please? Thanks!!! Damien G.

Regular Expression That Matches Across Newlines?
by Eliot Kimber 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Is the following possible using a regex search and replace? I have data that looks like this: 1. Some text? blah blah 2. Some more text second line? blah blah What I want to do is match on everything from the start of lines starting with "[0-9]+\." through the "?", Capturing the text between the initial "." and the "?". Is this possible with Oxygen? I can't figure it out.

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the right list to ask about oNVDL but I couldn't find another one. When will oNVDL be able to handle (via Saxon 9) ISO Schematron, XSLT 2.0 and XPATH 2.0? Thanks. John
