Early access to oXygen 10.1
by George Cristian Bina 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Hi all, You can find below links to an early access build of oXygen 10.1 for different platforms (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux). What we are looking for is feedback on the new main features of 10.1 like: - the new XML Schema visual editor - the new XML Schema documentation (PDF, DocBook, HTML output) - the new Outliner for XSLT, XML Schema and XQuery - the XQuery content completion support that goes into modules for proposals - XSLT processor options at transformation scenario level A couple of questions: - The default page for opening an XML Schema should be the Text or the new Schema (visual editor) page? - The old diagram is still available if enabled from Options->Preferences -- Editor / Pages / Text / Diagram -- Show XML Schema diagram. Do you want that to be visible by default? The version 10 license key works with 10.1 and it can be installed side by side with 10.0.

External data from XQuery in Transformation Scenario.
by Mike Starov 11 Feb '09

11 Feb '09

I am new to oxygen and I was wondering if it is possible to setup a transformation scenario where it would take my local file then add some data from external XQuery processor and take resulting XML and hand it off XSLT Processor and then to PDF FO. Here is my scenario in more details. I have main input DocBook 5 xml file. That file contains most of the data that needs to go in PDF. However final PDF needs some data that is not in that XML. That data is stored in a separate set of files and needs to be selected using complex XQuery based on certain parameters. Those parameters are stored in main xml file in processing instructions. Is something like this possible? Perhaps chained scenarios where output of one is input to another. Sort of like Apache Cocoon with eXist. -- Sincerely, Mike

New From Template Opens In Text Mode, How to Make it Open In Author Mode?
by Eliot Kimber 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

I looked in the help and poked around in the options but I didn't see anything that determines whether or not a new document created from a template will open in Author mode or Text mode or Grid mode. Is there a way to control this? My desire is to have new templates open in Author mode.

Customizing footers in output PDF
by Ethan Metsger 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Hi, all. I confess that I'm something of an XSLT newbie. I'm working on customizing the output footers for our PDF documentation, and I'm having a difficult time of selecting the appropriate elements using XSLT. I'm trying to use the pagesetup.xsl stylesheet as a template, and I've been doing some work trying to construct the appropriate <xsl:value-of> selection. It has been somewhat difficult to use what should be a very simple selection: <xsl:value-of select="book/info/productname"/> The problem is that "book" no longer lives in the default namespace, but (it seems) in the "d" namespace: <xsl:stylesheet exclude-result-prefixes="d" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" I've tried removing the "exclude-result-prefixes" item and trying several variations on the above value-of query: <xsl:value-of select="d:book/info/productname"/> <xsl:value-of select="d:/book/info/productname"/> <xsl:value-of select="d:book/d:info/d:productname"/> <xsl:value-of select="d:productname"/> And the like. I know that the rule is being triggered because I'm getting textual output in the resulting PDF. But so far I'm mystified about how to go about modifying the header with the product name and version. I am nearly certain the issue is namespace related, because I'm able to get xsltproc to transform the xml file using pretty trivial xsl. I've attached both. I ran: xsltproc test.xsl 00_XBinder_Master.xml I'm using Saxon with Oxygen for the transformation. Best, Ethan Metsger -- Objective Systems, Inc.

switch off: auto self-standing tag function
by Takako Kato 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Dear list, In my xsl, in my header, I have a link to java script file, which cannot be a self-standing tag: <SCRIPT language="Javascript1.2" src="../java/menu_desc.js" type="text/javascript"></SCRIPT> Every time I transform a xml file, however, the Oxygen automatically change the above link into: <SCRIPT language="Javascript1.2" src="../java/menu_desc.js" type="text/javascript"/>. I want to switch off this function, i.e, the function, which change the empty tags into self-standing tag automatically. Could anybody teach me how to do this, please/ Thanks very much.
