10.2: Archive Browser Doesn't Track Its Current Dir
by Eliot Kimber 21 May '09

21 May '09

If I have a package open and go to open a new one, the file selection dialog reflects the location of the currently open file in the main editing window, not the location of the archive. I think it should reflect the location of the archive. Also, if I do "refresh" and have updated the archive file under the covers, should Oxygen be re-loading the archive? It doesn't appear to be but I can't be 100% sure.

10.2 Creating Link Using Toolbar in Author Does Not Wrap Selected Text
by Eliot Kimber 21 May '09

21 May '09

In 10.2 in author mode using DITA content, if I select text and then use the link button from the Toolbar to select "Web link", the resulting link does not wrap the selected text, which is what I expected and wanted it to do (that is, I expected it to behave as if I had used the normal element insertion mechanism).

Losing keyboard input on Linux
by David Holden 20 May '09

20 May '09

Hello, so I regularly lose keyboard input when running Oxygen on Linux. cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.04.2" java -version java version "1.6.0_07" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 10.0-b23, mixed mode) I can often get it back by opening a new editing tab and typing into that then going back to the tab I was editing. Anyone else have this or know a solution. Thanks, Dave.

Using doc() with Oracle 10g
by Jirka Kosek 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hi, whenever I use doc() function in XQuery executed by Oracle I'm getting the following error message: Engine name: Oracle on localhost Severity: error Description: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-19109: RETURNING keyword expected - ORA-19109: RETURNING keyword expected But when I run the same query directly from sqlplus utility, everything works. Error is emitted even for very simplistic usages of doc() function like doc('/home/SCOTT/katalog/katalog.xml') (where /home/SCOTT/katalog/katalog.xml is path to resource stored inside Oracle XML DB Repository) Is there any way how to make doc() function work directly from Oxygen? Accessing XML content by other means like using ora:view() works corretly. I'm using oXygen 10.2 and Oracle 10.2.

Applying CSS to basic DocBook transform
by Karen Schneider 18 May '09

18 May '09

This again falls into the category of "I can do this in xsltproc," and I've reviewed the online documentation as well. I'm trying to be clear about the process so I can figure out why I can either produce unstyled HTML or get the error "could not find a stylesheet in the "xml-stylesheet" declaration" but cannot seem to produce a styled web page. I've been basing my efforts on http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-author/common-transformations.html . * I have an XML file. For simplicity in this test I'm processing it with docbook.xsl . * I have a CSS file. it appears to be valid. * I set up a transformation with docbook.xsl from the XHTML directory (I've also tried HTML), uncheck FO processing, select the CSS file as my XSL file (which requires toggling to view/all files while browsing). Now, because I've called the CSS in the transformation, do I or do I not place it directly in the XML file? Also, should I check off "use xml-stylesheet declaration" in the transformation? -- -- | Karen G. Schneider | Community Librarian | Equinox Software Inc.

Annoyance in Insert Topic Reference Dialog
by Eliot Kimber 15 May '09

15 May '09

I'm creating documents that use the DITA 1.2 DTDs. For DITA 1.2 we've added a number of specializations of topicref. The effect is that when I pop up the Insert Topic Reference dialog to insert a topicref, the topicref element type defaults to "anchorref", rather than "topicref", even though I would almost never want "anchorref". Would it be possible to either default to "topicref" or, more usefully, be able to configure a per-map-type default topicref type or sequence of preferred types (given that not all topicref types will be valid in a given insertion context, e.g., within bookmap)? Even if it just remembered the last value I used that would probably be sufficient. As it is, I have to remember to set that value each time. Note that I'm primarily using the "create reference to current document" mechanism, rather than creating a bunch of references at once, as I author new topics and then add them to my map as I go along.

Just noticed the new outline view for XSLTs that includes all included/imported templates. Very nice.

ID Setting Extension for DITA Authoring
by Eliot Kimber 14 May '09

14 May '09

I'm using Author to create DITA documents that have nested topics. An annoyance is that topics require the id= attribute, so having inserted a nested topic, I then have to set the ID even though I don't really care what the ID is. My questions: 1. Is there already a sample Oxygen extension that assigns IDs that I can use or adapt for this? 2. If the answer to (1) is no, where should I look for guidance on how to implement such an extension.
