oXygen Author: Restrict from creating non-valid content?
by Jan Nylund 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

Hello! Is it possible to restrict the Author view in oxygen from creating non- valid content? Meaning, it would only allow insertion of the elements shown in the drop down list, etc to avoid writers not familiar with the DTD to still provide content without errors? (Yes, I know it warns for errors, but restricting use is better than warning when something has already gone wrong) Br, Jan -- Jan Nylund Senior System Designer Citec Information Oy Ab

Upgrading Saxon, and custom processor thoughts
by Florent Georges 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

Hi The Saxon version used in "XML Editor 9.3, build 2008081313" is still 9.0.0.6. I tried to add the latest 9.1.0.2 but there is no support for parameters for custom processors. Did I miss anything? Here is what I would have thought to be able to do: when asking oXygen to add a processor, beside to be able to give it the command line, it should be possible to say "this processor is of well-known kind 'Saxon B'". Because oXygen already knowns how to support Saxon B, the user only need to give the directory where he put the JARs (and the license for the equivalent support for Saxon SA.) And this mechanism could be used for other kind of processor as well (libxslt, MarkLogic, eXist...) Did I miss something that looks like that? Or at least that allows me either to use parameters with custom processors or to update the Saxon version used? Best regards, --drkm

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

adding several tags around a highlighted item
by Christian Wittern 13 Sep '08

13 Sep '08

Hi there, I was wondering, how other oXygen users are solving the following problem: While adding notes to a text, I would like to mark the word(s) that are to serve as anchors for the note and then the note itself, using something like <choice> <seg>Word</seg> <note>The word Word here has a special meaning... </note> </choice> Ideally, I would just highlight the 'Word', press some magic key that adds the <choice> and <seg> around 'Word' and then an empty <note> element after words and leaves the cursor within this new <note> element so that I can write the note. Is this possible in oXygen 9.3? If not, I would like to suggest to add something like this for future products, maybe as an extension of the template system? Any help appreciated, Christian -- Christian Wittern Institute for Research in Humanities, Kyoto University 47 Higashiogura-cho, Kitashirakawa, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-8265, JAPAN

Syncro SVN Suggestion: Show/Hide Unversioned Items
by infotexture 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

Hi, How about adding an option to the Working Copy View to toggle the display of unversioned items, much like those that already exist for Ignored and Deleted items? I realize that unversioned files can be excluded by setting svn:ignore properties, but for projects with lots of individual types in different locations, it can be tedious to set up ignores for each of the various file(type)s & subfolders. This would make it much easier to focus on files under version control. Roger P.S. Will Syncro SVN 4.0 be included in oXygen 9.4, or when can we expect it?

Bidi limit
by Firmicus 12 Sep '08

To save memory, Oxygen disables the bidirectional functionality whenever a document reaches a certain size. Is it possible to manually turn it on, or to increase the upper limit? That would make me very happy! Thanks, François Charette

Unable to print an element's value
by Bradley, Peter 10 Sep '08

10 Sep '08

Hi, I've encountered some behaviour that I can't understand in a transformation that I'm currently engaged on. The transformations are all pretty simple and follow the same pattern, but with just a few of them I'm getting odd results where the element text is not being output. For example, in one case I have the following xsl: ... ...  <xsl:for-each select="Instance"> <Instance> <NUMHUS> <xsl:value-of select="NUMHUS/text()"/> </NUMHUS> <REDUCEDI> <xsl:attribute name="codeListAgencyName"> <xsl:text>HESA</xsl:text> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="codeListName"> <xsl:text>REDUCEDI</xsl:text> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="languageID"> <xsl:text>en</xsl:text> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:value-of select="REDUCEDI/text()"/> </REDUCEDI> <COURSEID> <xsl:value-of select="COURSEID/text()"/> </COURSEID> ... The source document has the following: <Instance> <NUMHUS>000001075369710892 </NUMHUS> <personal_id>02002538</personal_id> <REDUCEDI>00</REDUCEDI> ... <COURSEID>62105201 </COURSEID> ... (Note that <personal_id> is not transferred to the output document) The destination document gives: <Instance> <NUMHUS>000001070027710892 </NUMHUS> <REDUCEDI codeListAgencyName="HESA" codeListName="REDUCEDI" languageID="en"/> <COURSEID>53705101 </COURSEID> ... My problem is the <REDUCEDI> element. I don't understand why it hasn't taken the text '00' into the destination document as I was expecting. I've got what I take to be the same problem elsewhere, so I'm hoping that solving it here will give the solution elsewhere as well. Thanks in advance Peter

Xpath and Saxon return tabs as text
by Philipp Steinkrüger 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

Dear Oxygen-Users, i am having a problem with an indented XML File. The File looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <TEI xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.i-d-e.de/ns/1.0 "> <teiHeader> <fileDesc> <titleStmt> <title>MS Einsiedeln</title> </titleStmt> <publicationStmt> <p>publicationsStmt empty</p> </publicationStmt><sourceDesc> <p>sourceDesc empty</p> </sourceDesc></fileDesc> </teiHeader> <text> <body> <div> <div> <div> <p><c>D</c>ie gotheit iſt beſloſſen<lb/>in dem vater n<ex>atur</ex>elich dar<lb/>vmbe iſt er alvermvgende<lb/ >vnd enpfat niht von ite<lb />des<gap reason=""/> er ſelber nit en iſt an<lb/>ſiner go<unclear >tl</unclear>icher macht wan<lb/>ers weſelich i<ex>n</ex> ime vnd an<lb/>ime ſelben beſloſſen hat<space unit="letters" quantity="1" /></p> </div> </div> </div> </body> </text> </TEI> Now, using the following XPath 2.0 expression: //text(), the tabs are returned as text-nodes, for example the first tab before the tag <teiHeader>. In fact, my DTD does not allow #PCDATA inside <TEI>, but the document is validated without any problems. To me this seems kind of schizophrenic, or am I mistaken? Btw: the same file in XMLSpy with its build-in xslt engine as well as MS XML parser with the same xPath expression does not return the tabs as text-nodes. Any ideas?
