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

hide/replace content of elements
by Philipp Steinkrüger 06 May '08

06 May '08

Dear list, i have yet another question concerning the hiding or replacing of elements, but this time regarding the content. working in the author mode it would be helpful to hide certain elements, like <note> or <abbr>. using display:none is not very helpful, though, because then the element gets completely removed, even from the structure-view (which i think should be considered a bug, the structure view should not be affected by the css). using visibility:hidden seems to be a better idea, but then the text is just invisible and the empty elements are producing large gaps in the text. do you see any possibility to hide the text on the one hand, but display a label or something (showing the tags would be perfectly fine). i also experimented with width=1px in the definition of the element in the css, but it doesn't work. thanks in advance, Philipp

Customer XML to Schema
by Karl Stubsjoen 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

This is more than likely very easy to do! I'd like to get some intellisense from my customer's XML document when I'm editing xslt. Is this posssilbe, or impossible? There is no schema for the XML, so I guess step 1 is to create a schema from their XML source, I didn't see where to do this. Karl..

Commenting and Documenting Customer XML
by Karl Stubsjoen 29 Apr '08

29 Apr '08

What options do I have in commenting and then documenting my customer's XML using Oxygen? I imagine the possiblity of both, stating fact, and then posing questions, in an attempt to establish rules, understanding, consistency, layout and semantics. Hopefully inline / embeded directly in with the XML, and then eventually publishing a schema and or resource of my findings. Hope that wasn't too vague of a question! Karl..

I'm not getting FO intellisense when working in an XSLT template. Is this possible? I know, have read, that I'll get FO intellisense if my document root element is fo:root, however my document root is xsl:stylesheet. Karl..

line breaks again: oxygen author mode does not interpret <lb /> correctly
by Philipp Steinkrüger 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

Sorry, i just realized that I was mistaken in my previous email. in fact, oxygen correctly inserts <lb /> only into the xml-document. what still bothers me, and thats probably why i got confused, is the behaviour in the Author mode. there, with "full tags turned on" <lb /> is display as <lb>lb</lb> which seems to be an odd interpretation of the XML. anyway, changing to "block tags" and defining lb in the css as inline-block looks like an acceptable solution if, and here is my problem, the line would really break in the Author mode. But it doesn't. After the <lb /> element i can just continue to write. How could i make Oxygen to interpret <lb /> correctly? Thanks, and sorry again for my first post. Philipp

Insert empty elements using the elements view
by Philipp Steinkrüger 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

Hi all, i have a question concerning the elements-view in Oxygen 9.1. I want to insert empty elements like <lb/> <cb/> etc. The elements-view lists <lb> among the elements which accoring to my schema are allowed at the current cursor position, but when i double-click <lb> it inserts the following fragment: <lb>lb</lb> "lb" being highlighted for editing. I checked the preferences but i cannot find any definition of the <lb> element. Where can I change such a behaviour? Any hints and pointers to documentation or solutions will be appreciated. Thanks, Philipp

Apply one stylesheet to multiple XML files simultaneously
by Dot Porter 25 Apr '08

25 Apr '08

I'd like to apply a single XSLT stylesheet to an entire folder of XML files at the same time. Is there a way to do this in oXygen? It appears that you can only configure a stylesheet to process one XML file at a time.

using custom parser in saxon 9 transformation scenario
by Peter Rushforth 25 Apr '08

25 Apr '08

Hi, I'm new to oxygen, but I have written a custom uri resolver which references a custom parser, for saxon 9. The parser reads a binary format file, and returns xml events to saxon. It seems to work well interactively; now I would like to use it in the oxygen xslt debugging environment. I have configured a transformation scenario with the appropriate classes on the class path including both the resolver and the parser and classes upon which they depend. However when I invoke the transformation, I get "Content is not allowed in prolog", which looks to me like the parser isn't getting first crack at the binary data. Does anyone have a suggestion to help with this? Cheers, Peter
