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

Hi Xmlizer, I believe that the official reference to XHTML is to a DTD such as: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> ... </html> You should be able to use this format.

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.

Re: [oXygen-user] Setting up catalogs
by Radu Coravu 04 Nov '08

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

CSS editor frustrating, needs improvements
by Hedley Finger 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

I am incorporating copyright class definitions for CSS-only cascading menus. It would be nice to set it off the copyrighted block with extra empty lines above and below, but <oXygen/> reduces all separator lines between CLASSES to one line, and all COMMENTS are abutted with NO empty lines between them. The other editors have a Preference to "[ ] Preserve empty lines", but not the CSS editor. It would also be nice to select a block of text and wrap it in comment opening /* and closing */ in one operation. And a fancy shortcut to select an entire class block by inserting cursor in selector/class name and using a key shortcut would be good. Some attributes/properties can take either a numeric unit of measure or a text token, such as "auto". It would be nice if the autocompletion drop-down showed placeholders (perhaps italicized) for allowable units which, when selected, would insert the unit of measure preceded by the cursor ready to type in the value. This would considerably improve the function of the autocompleter as a learning tool for the inexperience like me and perhaps save the odd keystroke, invalid input, etc. For example, ---------------- width: | 99px << this one selected | 99pt | 99pc | 99em | 99mm | 99cm | 99in | auto | inherit etc. which completes the property thus: width: |px; // where | represents the cursor Regards, Hedley -- Hedley Finger 28 Regent Street Camberwell VIC 3124 Australia Tel. +61 3 9809 1229 Fax.

Hi, Wendell: Thank you for your suggestion. I use Perl to do that. But it would be nice if Oxygen can provide that function. Jenny

soft link to the java app stub to easily open a file
by Robert Koberg 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Hi, I am looking for a simple way to open a file in a running oxygen app. have found that I can open a file in a running instance of oxygen like so: $ /Applications/oxygen/Oxygen.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub / path/to/file.xml I tried to create a soft link the JavaApplicationStub in my home dir, but the system does not recognize it as a file. Is there some way I can alias the longish path so I can do something like (while in my home dir): $ oxy /path/to/file.xml Is there a better/easier way? thanks for any tips, -Rob

XSL-FO Docbook Transformation failing
by Mark Wilson 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

In an attempt to render PDF via FO, I am reading the Oxygen Users Manual (pages 314-333) and am trying the Docbook PDF transformation described on pages 326-327. However, this transformation fails with an Error Msg 1 which appears to be a FOP command line usage error. Since I cannot see the actual call to FOP from Ozygen, I have no idea how to fix this. I should also add that my FO and XSLT files run when I invoke FOP from the command line. Mark
