Weird-looking images in PDF when using Oxygen 10.x + DITA OT 1.x
by Steve Matlock 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

I'm using Oxygen 10.x + DITA OT 1.x The PDFs compile just fine, but when I print them,the little "hand" icons used for the notes appears as a jumbled mess. All other GIFs are mangled, too. Is this a feature of the OT/PDF creation? Or is this something I can "tune" or fix in Oxygen 10 or the OT?

Re: [oXygen-user] [TEI-L] Wondering why oXygen XML Editor 11 defaults to Author mode?
by Syd Bauman 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

I agree w/ Gabby completely. When I want to look, or want my students to look, at TEI through CSS-colored glasses, I use a browser. When I use oXygen, I want (or want my studnets to) see pointy brackets. (Which isn't to say that Author mode is useless, but I don't want it as the default for anything, let alone TEI. :-) JC> However, this didn't really answer the question I was asking JC> (which was not how do I change this for me), but whether the JC> default for TEI as shipped with oXygen should be text rather than JC> author and how to change that (if we decided this was a better idea). GB> FWIW, I *do* think this would be a better idea. I don't relish GB> the idea of starting every TEI training session with an GB> explanation on how to turn off default Author mode in Oxygen. GB> But others may have different priorities?

JAXP not present
by Christian Wittern 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Hi there, Everytime when I open a XSLT file in Oxygen, I get the following message at the bottom: E[JAXP] The transformer JAXP is not present. Please install it ... I have no idea what this refers to, but I have seen it for a while. Any help in getting rid of this would be appreciated, Christian -- Christian Wittern Institute for Research in Humanities, Kyoto University 47 Higashiogura-cho, Kitashirakawa, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-8265, JAPAN

Customizing XSD Documentation Output (PDF & HTML)
by infotexture 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Hi, I've been investigating the schema documentation tools in v11 for a client and am quite impressed with the output. The client has asked how to go about customizing the PDF and HTML output to add a company logo & other branding, etc. Are there instructions available anywhere on how to achieve this, or can anyone outline the process for me? Thanks, Roger

Is there a way to stop oxygen from reformatting lines of text marked with <codeblock> or <lines>?
by Steve Matlock 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

I am writing documentation that includes code samples. I currently am putting them in the concept type marked with <codeblock> or <lines> (I've not decided yet which is the best solution). But, if I reformat the text (because other content I'm placing in the <p> blocks comes in as one very long line) so I can more easily edit the xml, the content in the <codeblock> or <lines> section is reformatted, losing all the carefully placed indents in the code.That is, the code that would appear in the PDF or HTML is reformatted so that it is all flush left with an indent of about 1 inch. I want it to remain indented hierarchically. So for example, a code sample as it appears in the Author view <script> Some script here A subroutine here More stuff </script> etc. It becomes this <script> Some script here A subroutine here More stuff </script> which, technically, would work as code, but it hard to read in the documentation. The code in the Editor view looks like this: <codeblock> <script> Some script here A subroutine here More stuff >/script> </codeblock> and so on. When it's reformated it looks like this <codeblock> <script> Some script here A subroutine here More stuff >/script> </codeblock> -- Steve Matlock http://nohomeformyblog.blogspot.com/

Map Manager Doesn't Appear to Reflect Navigation Titles in <navtitle>
by Eliot Kimber 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

If I have topicrefs of the form: <topicref> <topicmeta> <navtitle>Navigation Title</navtitle> </topicmeta> </topicref> I'm not seeing the navigation titles in the map manager. If I add @navtitle attributes to the same topicrefs, I see the navigation title. Should definitely see the navigation title in the first case.

Using a catalog with a saxon xquery scenario
by Steven Anderson 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

I depend on catalogs for resolving DTDs in my XML files. I've specified the catalog I want to use in the preferences for XML Catalog. It works for XSLT, just not for XQuery. The specific error I get is this: SystemID: /xquery/find_topicrefs_w_href_w_child_topicref.xquery Engine name: Saxon-PE XQuery 9.2.0.3 Severity: error Description: /sanderson_dev/dev/doc/164/patch/core/en/xmlsource/map.dtd (No such file or directory) Any ideas? Steve ps - I posted a similar entry on the forum, but I thought I'd try it here, too

Putting an image URL in an image reference
by Steve Matlock 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

I'm using Oxygen 10.x I have image urls that our users use that look like this: " https://www.mysite.com/image/button?color=orange&OwnerId=JoeSmith&size=larg… " When these URLs are opened, they pull in the right button based upon the owner, color, size, and background. If I try to use this image URL as-is in the image tag, I get an error because the "&" means the following word is treated as an HTML entity name such as &copy or &trade. So I changed the "&" in the URL to "&" Now I don't get an error, but I also don't get an image. Is there a way to modify this URL so it retrieves the right image using the syntax I'm using? I can't point to an image without using these parameters. -- Steve Matlock http://nohomeformyblog.blogspot.com/
