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

Feature Request for Content Completion with East Asian Text
by Christian Wittern 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

Hi there, We are using oXygen mainly to edit Chinese or Japanese text. In this case, words are not separated by whitespace. For a project we are having here, I am setting up snippets that should be inserted using code completion. However, Code Completion fires only after a whitespace character, so we have to input a spurious whitespace character to kick this off, which then has to be deleted again at some point. Hence my feature request: When doing a Code Completion, look at the character before the insertion point and fire if either there is a whitespace, or a character in the Unicode ranges for East Asian characters. This should be fairly easy to implement and have no negative impact on the current functionality.

Hi David, We'll probably have this fix available by Oxygen 9.3 (couple of days). When the fix will be available all you will have to do will be to add your catalog to the Oxygen catalogs list and the DITA Maps Manager topic references will be solved through the catalog.

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

Way to Open Files that Start with "." on OS X/Linux?
by Eliot Kimber 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

I'm working with DOCX files and the key file in a DOCX package is the .rels file in the _rels directory. If I unpackage the archive (for convenience of processing with XSLT), under OS X the normal Oxygen file chooser won't show files that start with "." (per normal unix/linux rules). I can open the file from the command line of course, but is there a way to access such files via the normal file chooser?

trouble with oxygen svn client
by Christian Wittern 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Hi there, Recently, I ran into some issues with the SVN client, so I thought I talk about them here to see if there is a way to resolve the problem. I am using the svn+ssh protocol to tunnel the svn connection through ssh For security reasons, my ssh server has an unusual port. Now oxygen seems not to look at the configuration for SSH in ~/.ssh/config which means I have to specify the port on the URL like: svn+ssh:/<server>:<port>/path/to/rep This allows me to access the repository from within Oxygen. The problem with this is, however, that it makes other SVN tools fail. So if I want to use SCPlugin (this is the Mac equivalent to TortoiseSVN), it fails with a 'Connection error'. While I do not know which of the two behaviors is correct, I think it could be solved if Oxygen would allows to specify the port separately from the repository URL. But there might be other solutions as well?

Setting up catalogs
by David Linton 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

I'm evaluating Oxygen for our DITA installation and have hit on a bit of a problem: everything works very well for the DITA files, including XML catalog resolution for specializations, etc., but links and the ditamap editor aren't getting resolved. I use URNs in links between source files, to allow authors to have local copies of resources which live in our source control system, such as <topicref href="urn:quative.tv:docs:quative/company/en_GB/concept/AboutQuative.dita" />. The documentation[1] says that "the OASIS XML catalogs present in the list maintained in the XML Catalog Preferences panel will be scanned trying to map a remote system ID (at document validation) or a URI reference (at document transformation)" If I read this correctly, this means you ignore catalog entries for URIs at validation time, which would explain why nothing is working. Is this the case, and if so, do you have any plans to support URI links in upcoming versions of Oxygen ? rgds David Linton Quative Limited .

RE: [oXygen-user] Setting up catalogs [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Hi, If my understanding of the problem is correct then could the OASIS Catalog files eventually be able to lookup local copies of external XML documents referenced by URLs using the "xlink" element attribute? If so this will be fantastic. If not can I ask for a feature that will allow this? Thanks.

Feature request - Copy-and-paste from Word/Excel/HTML to DITA
by Seraphim Larsen 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

Some XML authoring tools can copy-and-paste from Word / Excel / HTML and intelligently re-tag into DITA. Oxygen doesn't seem to be able to do that yet. Can you add it to your list of feature requests? Thanks very much! Seraphim
