Oxygen 11: Creating Key Definitions
by ekimber 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

I didn't see any specific UI for creating key definitions. I had expected to see either a "keys" field in the main "Edit topic reference" dialog or a separate "Insert key definition" option on the context menu/dita map menu that currently provides the "insert topicref", "insert topichead", "insert topic group" options. I don't think anything more than a single field is needed, although a list control might be more appropriate since the the value of "keys" is a blank-delimited list of keys.

Dear oXygen team, Is there any news about adding custom editor variables (that is, letting the user to define its own editor variable), as discussed in the following thread? http://www.oxygenxml.com/pipermail/oxygen-user/2008-October/002031.html Best regards, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/

request: resolve entity refs in err msgs
by Syd Bauman 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

[Apologies if this is a repeat -- I haven't done a good search of the archives, etc.] I often use "<" and ">" to indicate that a word is the name of an XML element type. I even do this in diagnostic and error messages. E.g.: <xsl:message>I found a <duck> element</xsl:message> In oXygen, the message that is output to the Messages tab has the less than and greater than escaped as entity references: [Saxon6.5.5] I found a <duck> element. Same is true for messages generated from Schematron validation. I realize that at one point in life those messages were in XML documents (e.g., SVRL), but I'd really like to *see* pointy brackets. Is there or could there be an option to display these as characters instead of entity references? Thanks for listening.

how to pass parameters to the stylesheet in oXygen
by Manuel Souto Pico 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

Good morning! I need to pass some parameters to a stylesheet. I can do that on the command line, but it would be very handy to do in oXygen's XSLT debugger. Is it possible to do that? $ java -jar saxon9.jar lang=en,fr,pt file.xml stylesheet.xsl > output.xml My stylesheet contains the line <xsl:param name="lang" /> It would be also fine, for testing purposes, to include already in the stylesheet or the input xml file. Thanks a lot! Manuel

How to Recover from Attempt to Open Large XML File
by ekimber 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

I attempted to open a 20Meg file (an exported iTunes library). Even after setting the VM to 2014M, Oxygen effectively locks up trying to open the file. Since it's restoring its state on startup, there's no obvious way to break the cycle. How do I break the cycle?

XRef Selection Dialog Doesn't Offer Current Doc as an Option
by ekimber 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

When I create a DITA xref using the insert-xref button, the target chooser dialog does not offer the current document as one of the options in the file pulldown list. It should always offer the current doc as an option, even if it defaults to the last document selected.
