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

Mac: oXygen 9.2 + Java SE6 = key up/down problems
by Jan Nylund 26 Sep '08

26 Sep '08

Hello. I'm running oXygen 9.2 on Mac OS X Leopard and recently updated to use Java SE 6 to get spaces working properly. However, I got another strange error that appears to be related to oXygen (but it might still be java.. can't tell). If I run oXygen with Java 6, the up and down keys will not move the cursor, but instead move the scrollbar. The arrows left / right works as supposed, and selecting text with shift + up/down also works as normal. I do not get this behavior in other Java applications so I suspect it to be oXygen related. The same behaviour has been reproduced on three different machines all running the latest version of OS X / oXygen. Br, Jan -- Jan Nylund System Designer Citec Information Oy Ab

Map Editor Should Remember Last Directory Used for Topicrefs
by Eliot Kimber 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

I noticed that if I use the map editor to create a topic ref, then go to a different file (in my case, a DTD declaration module) then create another topicref, the remembered directory is the directory containing the file I just edited, not the last directory I used to create a topic ref. I think it's the likely case that authors will be linking to topics in the last directory they linked from. Would be convenient if the map editor remembered this directory.

help with oxygen 9.2
by Juan York 29 May '08

29 May '08

I've recently upgraded from Oxygen 9.1 to Oxygen 9.2 Performing this upgrade seems to have broken my xslt transformations. I have a project which is an extension of docbook 5.0 the custom xslt style sheet that I created imports the docbook.xsl which is located in frameworks. In 9.1 everything worked as expected. The basic layout was <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" version="1.0"> <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/docbook.xsl "/> <xsl:variable name="root.elements" select="' systemfeature scenario appendix article bibliography book systemfeature colophon dedication glossary index part preface qandaset refentry reference sect1 systemfeature set setindex '"/> <xsl:template match="systemfeature"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> And the stylesheet would match the systemfeature element and apply the proper templates to any docbook tags contained within it. Within 9.2 the import statement seems to "stop" the process, I cannot match any elements after I have imported. If there's anyone who can help with this issue it would be much appreciated. thanks Juan

Unchecking "Use default catalog" Does Not Stop Framework's Catalog From Being Used
by Eliot Kimber 28 May '08

28 May '08

I'm trying to use Oxygen to test documents against a set of DTDs as organized for distribution to a client. These are DITA specializations that use the draft DITA 1.2 declarations, so I don't want the DITA 1.1 declarations to be involved at all. Unfortunately, it appears that Oxygen is including the DITA OT catalog from the frameworks directory even though I have "use default catalog" unchecked in my catalog options and only have my distribution-specific catalog included in the list of user-specified catalogs. Examining the catalog resolution trace I can see that references to the standard DITA declaration sets are resolving to the framework location. Is my expectation of how "use default catalog" should work correct or is there another way to disable use of the framework catalogs?

very slow response when switching back to oXygen
by Seraphim Larsen 23 May '08

23 May '08

Hi all, I'm a pretty new oXygen user (new since version 9.1). Really love the tool! But one thing that is really annoying is that if I leave oXygen for awhile (say, 20 minutes), and then come back to it, it usually takes at least 20-30 seconds before it starts responding, and it can sometimes take several minutes. I guess it's some kind of memory paging issue or something. This sometimes happens with other programs too, but it's much worse with oXygen than with any other program that I use. Is there something I can do to configure oXygen to get rid of this problem? I'm running oXygen 9.2 on Windows XP. Thanks, Seraphim

Setting up and configuring the Idiom FO Plugin in 9.2
by Eliot Kimber 23 May '08

23 May '08

Using 9.2 I tried to use the Idiom plugin to generate PDF. I had not done anything to the built-in framework. The transform scenario panel indicated that XEP was detected, but when I ran it I got a failure saying that it couldn't find xep/lib in /Applications/DITA-OT1.4.1 (this is on OS X). I did not have an /Applications/DITA-OT1.4.1 directory on my machine (although I had in the past). I did a search within the framework for "DITA-OT1.4.1" and couldn't find it. I then tried copying a working copy of xep from another Toolkit instance I had lying about into the framework's fo/lib directory, but no change. Finally, I created the directory it was looking for and put xep there and the PDF generation worked. Clearly there's something odd on my machine that is causing this problem but I have no idea what it might be. I'm afraid I found the online help for setting up the Idiom plugin a bit confusing (although I find the plugin itself a bit confusing). I didn't see any configuration settings that would have been pointing at DITA-OT1.4.1. Is it possible this is actually a bug in the plugin as distributed that was simply masked by the fact that the target directory exists on the machine(s) used to test Oxygen? I would have never noticed the problem if I had kept my 1.4.1 Toolkit around.
