Live XSLT/XProc message output?
by Jostein Austvik Jacobsen 06 May '13

06 May '13

When running XProc scripts and/or XSLT transformations, the cx:message and xsl:message outputs appear only after the script/transformation is complete. I would like to view the messages while the script/transformation is running since they can take quite some time to run and the messages indicates the progress. Is it possible to enable some kind of "live message output mode"? Jostein

Result view for a plugin
by Florent Georges 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hi, I looked into the SDK documentation and the Javadoc, but I couldn't find how a plugin can open a new result view, to show the results/ errors/logs of an action in a way consistent with oXygen's own result views. Is this possible with a workspace access plugin? Regards, -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/ http://h2oconsulting.be/

Feature Request: Create Multiple Conrefs With One Selection
by Eliot Kimber 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

In my training development mentioned earlier, I'm making all my prerequisites and objectives reusable and then constructing all such lists in modules via conref. This requires a separate conref for each individual list item or lcObjective. The conkeyref creation dialog is easy enough to use, but it only lets me create one reference at a time (I'm not doing range references). It would be much more convenient if there was some way that I could select multiple targets and have it create an individual conref to each one. Not sure how you'd do that and make a clear distinction between creating a range reference and multiple single references, but it would be very convenient if it was possible.

Very minor complaint: @format set on maprefs when defaulted by topicref
by Eliot Kimber 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

When you create a topicref to a map using the "Create reference" facility in the Map Manager, the dialog automatically sets the @format value to "ditamap", which is, of course, required if you're using a generic topicref. However, if you then replace the generic topicref type with any form of map reference (e.g., <mapref>), the @format value continues to be set and will be set in the instance, even though it's now redundant with the default value set by the topicref element. It would be ideal if the system could detect that @format has the appropriate default value and unset the selection in the dialog so that unnecessary attributes are not set in the map.

Map Managed Icons for Map References
by Eliot Kimber 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

I'm going through the exercise of creating training materials. I'm using submaps to organize sessions and modules so I'm creating maps with lots of map references. One thing I'm noticing is that the icon for a map reference is the same as the icon for the map, which leads to kind of odd results in the map manager. I know that all the components have to be reflected in the tree: the map reference, the referenced map, and the map's child topicrefs, so there's no getting around what, conceptually, are redundant levels in the tree (relative to what will actually show up in the final table of contents). However, I think it might be clearer in the map manager if the map reference icon was distinguished from the map icon. Part of the oddness of the map manager view is that the when the submap has a title, which all of mine do, then the map reference node and the map node both reflect the same title, so you get: mapref: -> Module: My Module Title map: ---> Module: My Module Title Topicref------> My Module Title Where the title of the first topicref is often the same as or very similar to the map title (in my case, I'm using e.g. "Module: " in the map title for module maps but not in the title for the actual module root topic, so the map title and root topicref title differ only by "Module: ").

Unicode 4.0 does not contain the character you're looking for. It's found in Unicode 6.0 Cyrillic Extended-B. Java 1.6 is based on Unicode 4.0. Java 1.7 is based on Unicode 6.0. Thus, to get the proper mapping, you'll need to be using Java 1.7. ---------------------- Sample Program ---------------------- public class Case { public static void main(String[] args) { String unicodeVersion; String specVersion = System.getProperty("java.specification.version"); if(specVersion.equals("1.7")) unicodeVersion = "6.0"; else if(specVersion.equals("1.6")) unicodeVersion = "4.0"; else unicodeVersion = "n/a"; System.out.println(unicodeVersion); char[] originalChars = { 0x41, 0xa656 }; String theString = new String(originalChars); System.out.println(theString.charAt(0) + "\t" + theString.charAt(1)); System.out.println(theString.codePointAt(0) + "\t" + theString.codePointAt(1)); System.out.println(Character.isLowerCase(theString.charAt(0)) + "\t" + Character.isLowerCase(theString.charAt(1))); theString = theString.toLowerCase(); System.out.println(theString.charAt(0) + "\t" + theString.charAt(1)); System.out.println(theString.codePointAt(0) + "\t" + theString.codePointAt(1)); System.out.println(Character.isLowerCase(theString.charAt(0)) + "\t" + Character.isLowerCase(theString.charAt(1))); } } ---------------------- Java 1.6 Output ---------------------- 4.0 A ? 65 42582 false false a ? 97 42582 true false ---------------------- Java 1.7 Output ---------------------- 6.0 A ? 65 42582 false false a ? 97 42583 true true -Erik On 1/15/13 11:00 AM, "oxygen-user-request(a)oxygenxml.com" <oxygen-user-request(a)oxygenxml.com> wrote: > Send oXygen-user mailing list submissions to > oxygen-user(a)oxygenxml.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://www.oxygenxml.com/mailman/listinfo/oxygen-user > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > oxygen-user-request(a)oxygenxml.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > oxygen-user-owner(a)oxygenxml.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of oXygen-user digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

unicode support?
by David Birnbaum 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

Dear <oXygen/> support, I'm trying to case-fold some early Cyrillic text, which includes characters from the Unicode Cyrillic B range ( http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/UA640.pdf) and the lower-case() function does not seem to be returning what I expect. I am testing in the XPath browser box in <oXygen/> 14.1 (set to XPath 2.0), but I get the same results when performing an XSLT transformation using Saxon-PE 9.4.0.4. Input: string-to-codepoints('Ꙗ') Output (as expected): 42582 Input: string-to-codepoints(lower-case('Ꙗ')) Output (incorrect): 42582 That is, I get the same result when I process this upper-case letter regardless of whether I try to convert it to lower case. The lower-case counterpart of U+A656 is U+A657. The case mapping seems to be correct in the Unicode property table at http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt, where the relevant lines are: A656;CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER IOTIFIED A;Lu;0;L;;;;;N;;;;A657; A657;CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER IOTIFIED A;Ll;0;L;;;;;N;;;A656;;A656 For comparison (ASCII-range characters): Input: string-to-codepoints('A') Output (as expected): 65 Input: string-to-codepoints(lower-case('A')) Output (as expected): 97 It looks, then, as if the lower-case() function works properly on some Unicode characters, such as those in the ASCII range, but not on others, such as those in the Cyrillic B range. The Cyrillic B characters have been in Unicode since version 5.1.0 (April 4, 2008); Unicode is now at 6.2.0. Is this a bug (and if so, whose bug is it?), or are my expectations based on a misunderstanding? Thanks, David (djbpitt(a)gmail.com)
