How to get Oxygen to open files in Text view
by Ted Kuster 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Under Preferences > Author > Editor > Pages, I have set the initial page to Text, then saved and restarted Eclipse. I expected that this would have the effect of making new files open in Text view. However, new files still open in Author view. Why is that, and what can I do to make my files open in Text view? Thanks Ted Kuster help.collab.net

Feature request: Make scratch buffer persistent
by Stefan Krause 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Hello, it would be a great help if the scratch buffer would be stored when oxygen is closed and restored after starting oxygen again. And it would be perfect, if the scratch buffer's content was associated with the current project. Best regards, Stefan

Backtracking XSLT ?
by Lee, David 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

Is there some option in Oxygen Editor where I can hilight a section of the output of an XSLT transform and have it show me where in the XSLT this was generated ? In StylusStudio this is "backtracking" ... but I cant find the equivalent feature in Oxygen. Thanks for any suggestions. ---------------------------------------- David A.

keyboard shortcut: Add Docbook graphic (possible?)
by Robert Nagle 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

I'm on XML Professional 11, XML Author mode working on a docbook project. I see there is a Add a Docbook Graphic option in a toolbar. Is there a way to configure a keyboard shortcut for this action? (That would really help!) rj -- Robert Nagle 12777 Ashford Point Dr #1417 Houston, Texas 77082 713 893 3424 htpt://www.robertnagle.info

Re: [oXygen-user] TEI P5 biblStruct/xsl/fo-problem? Was: Saxon PE-licence file not found?
by Sorin Ristache 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hello Espen, Thank you for the file. It is a bug in the TEI P5 stylesheet for XSL-FO output. The FO file is not valid because it contains many elements that are not in the FO namespace. The error message specified only the list-item element that cannot be a child of fo:flow but there are more errors. Starting with line 7343 the FO file contains many elements that are not in the FO namespace: block, list-item, list-item-label, inline, etc. I think the error should be reported to the developers of the TEI stylesheets so I send this message and your TEI XML file to Sebastian Rahtz from the TEI Consortium to look into it. You can generate only the FO file in Oxygen by editing the transformation scenario for PDF output. For example you duplicate the TEI P5 PDF scenario using the Duplicate button of the Configure Transformation Scenario dialog, you disable FO processing and you set a .fo file name in the Save As field.

Re: [oXygen-user] Setting output file name
by Stephen Matlock 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

I'm trying solution #2 a. I edited build.xml (I made a backup copy first!) b. In the section starting with <project name="dita.build" basedir="." I added <property name="pdf.file.name" value="${dita.map.filename.root}" /> c. In the section starting with <target mae="publish.map.pdf"> I commented out the entry <param name="outputFile" value="${dita.map.output.dir}/${dita.map.filename.root}.pdf"/> and added <param name="outputFile" value="${dita.map.output.dir}/${pdf.file.name}.pdf"/> d. in my transform setting I clicked the Parameters tab, added the name "pdf.file.name" and made the value XYZSAMPLEXYZ And...it worked! This is great stuff. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Matlock [mailto:stephenmatlock@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, November 05, 2009 9:37 AM To: Radu Coravu Subject: Re: [oXygen-user] Setting output file name Thanks, Radu, I will try that. It's OK that Oxygen won't open the PDF automatically - that's not an essential part of the transform process for me -- I can just open it manually in Acrobat Pro.

Debugging MarkLogic AppServer xquery code
by Lee, David 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

I have Oxygen setup now so I can debug on MarkLogic server, but it requires a local xquery file. This is fine for some things, but I'd like to debug some queries that are run as part of the AppServer technology. These need to be run from within marklogic so they have access to functions like xdmp:get-request-field() Any suggestions on how to debug a xquery the resides on marklogic being invoked as an app request ? Thanks for any ideas. ---------------------------------------- David A. Lee Senior Principal Software Engineer Epocrates, Inc. dlee(a)epocrates.com <mailto:dlee@epocrates.com> 812-482-5224

Showing the XQuery input perspective
by Lee, David 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

I have an XQuery file, and have configured a Transformation Scenerio, but when I use Perspective -> Show View -> XSLT/XQuery input, I get this note: To have a better content completion over the values of 'match', 'select', and 'test' attributes, please create a scenario for this stylesheet. The input document must be XML wellformed. Whats the magic trick to get the XSLT/XQuery input to show ? Thanks for any suggestions ! ---------------------------------------- David A.

Save in Author mode doesn’t preserve empty lines
by infotexture 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Hi, I include empty lines in DITA files to improve the readability of the source code when viewed as text. If I switch to Author mode & save, oXygen doesn’t honor the **Preserve empty lines** preference. The same happens with map files saved from the DITA Maps Manager. I would expect the empty lines to remain, as I have specified the following settings: * Editor > Format > XML > Preserve empty lines = ON * Editor > Pages > Author > Format & indent when passing from author...=OFF Have I misunderstood the settings, is there another flag I need to set, or is this a bug? Regards, Roger

Setting output file name
by Steve Matlock 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

I'm generating PDFs using the default/demo PDF generator in Oxygen 10.x on Vista and using a bookmap and a dita map. I'm looking for a way to set the output file name explicitly -- currently the ditamap/bookmap I'm using becomes the output file name. I've looked through help and through the demo transforms, but I'm not finding this. I see that I can do this for PS, HTML, or TXT output. Is there a way to explicitly set the file name in Oxygen 10.x / DITA?
