Multi-row tabs?
by Jostein Austvik Jacobsen 02 Oct '17

I often have a lot of XML-files open simultaneously. Is it possible to configure multiple rows of tabs? Something similar to this: http://winaero.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Firefox-with-multi-row-t… Jostein

Re: [oXygen-user] Pretty Print <lb/> in Oxygen
by Syd Bauman 12 Jan '16

A few hours ago Ute Recker-Hamm posted a wonderful question to TEI-L, the main list for the Text Encoding Initiative.[1] She basically asked "what do y'all do to get your physical lines, as encoded with the empty TEI <lb> element, to line up nicely in oXygen?". I remember asking a similar question a few years ago, and vaguely recall being told that manipulating the options under "Preferences > Editor / Format / XML" (in particular the "Preserve space" and "Default space" lists) should get format-and-indent to do the trick. However, I recall that I never got it working to my satisfaction, and when I look through the archives of this list now, I can't find the answer I recall. So what is "it" that I want format-and-indent to do? When given a text that looks like this: view A ---- - I call our world Flatland, not because we call it so, but to make <lb/>its nature clearer to you, my happy readers, who are privileged to live <lb/>in Space. Imagine a vast sheet of paper on which straight Lines, Triangles, <lb/>Squares, Pentagons, Hexagons, and other figures, instead of remaining <lb/>fixed in their places, move freely about, on or in the surface, but without <lb/>the power of rising above or sinking below it, very much like shadows <lb/>—only hard with luminous edges—and you will then have a pretty <lb/>correct notion of my country and countrymen. Alas, a few years ago, <lb/>I should have said “my universe:” but now my mind has been opened <lb/>to higher views of things. I'd like it to end up formatted as it is now -- with each <lb> starting a new line. If the desired line length were long enough, it wouldn't be changed at all. If the desired line length were shorter, it might look like this: view B ---- - I call our world Flatland, not because we call it so, but to make <lb/>its nature clearer to you, my happy readers, who are privileged to live <lb/>in Space. Imagine a vast sheet of paper on which straight Lines, Triangles, <lb/>Squares, Pentagons, Hexagons, and other figures, instead of remaining <lb/>fixed in their places, move freely about, on or in the surface, but without <lb/>the power of rising above or sinking below it, very much like shadows <lb/>—only hard with luminous edges—and you will then have a pretty <lb/>correct notion of my country and countrymen. Alas, a few years ago, <lb/>I should have said “my universe:” but now my mind has been opened <lb/>to higher views of things. What I *don't* want is for format-and-indent to make it look like this: view C ---- - I call our world Flatland, not because we call it so, but to make <lb/>its nature clearer to you, my happy readers, who are privileged to live <lb/>in Space. Imagine a vast sheet of paper on which straight Lines, Triangles, <lb/>Squares, Pentagons, Hexagons, and other figures, instead of remaining <lb/>fixed in their places, move freely about, on or in the surface, but without <lb/>the power of rising above or sinking below it, very much like shadows <lb/>—only hard with luminous edges—and you will then have a pretty <lb/>correct notion of my country and countrymen. Alas, a few years ago, <lb/>I should have said “my universe:” but now my mind has been opened <lb/>to higher views of things. In fact, if I had my druthers, an input document that looked like view C would come out of the processing looking like view A or B. Note ---- [1] Those of you who are members of a TEI list at Brown can find it at https://listserv.brown.edu/?A2=ind1410&L=tei-l&F=&S=&P=64155. I have not re-produced it here because I did not get the original poster's permission to do so. (Not that I think it is illegal or immoral to re-post without such permission, only that it's rude.)

Format & Indent multiple files?
by Roger Sheen 25 Nov '14

25 Nov '14

I know this has been requested before, so I’m curious to hear whether a future oXygen version might include the ability to Format & Indent multiple files at once--perhaps via a context menu item in Project View? Until then, I’m looking for a way to batch format & indent multiple files & limit line width to a maximum value. It seems `xmllint --format` doesn’t provide a line width option. The context menu in Project View suggests I could apply a transformation scenario to a folder. Could this be used to achieve the same result, perhaps through some use of the saxon:line-length and saxon:indent-spaces options? Or is there a command I could run on the command line that would approximate the results of oXygen’s Format & Indent feature? Regards, Roger

duplicate element
by Roderik Dernison 25 Nov '14

25 Nov '14

Hi, I've created my own extension of DITA. Amongst others I have added an element "predicate", like this: <xs:element name="predicate"> <xs:annotation> <xs:documentation>A <predicate> element marks the predicate, e.g. GROOT(Jan). (TP-ELEMENT)</xs:documentation> </xs:annotation> <xs:complexType> <xs:complexContent> <xs:extension base="predicate.class"> <xs:attribute ref="class" default="- ling-d/pred "/> </xs:extension> </xs:complexContent> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:complexType name="predicate.class" mixed="true"/> Now when I create a new ling topic, oXygen tells me E [Xerces] cos-nonambig: predicate and predicate (or elements from their substitution group) violate "Unique Particle Attribution". During validation against this schema, ambiguity would be created for those two particles. My lingGrp.xsd contains: <xs:group name="predicate"> <xs:sequence> <xs:choice> <xs:element ref="predicate" /> </xs:choice> </xs:sequence> </xs:group> My lingDomain.xsd contains: <xs:group name="ling-d-pred"> <xs:choice> <xs:group ref="predicate" /> </xs:choice> </xs:group> And my ling.xsd contains: <xs:group ref="ling-d-pred" /> No other references are made to predicate. What am I doing wrong? Kind regards, Ing.

Transforming without Entity placeholders
by Sascha Manns 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Hello list, i have some XML files from a DocBook handbook project. The files are chunked into different chapter files. Now i would like to transform each chapter file that it outputs the same docbook code but with solved entity solution. So the result should be a clean DocBook file without entity placeholders. Has anyone done this already? Greetings Sascha -- Yours sincerly Sascha Manns

never mind on the ant build script question

Never mind on the ant build script question. My temp folder didn't get deleted, so the script was only processing the files there. Tom --------------------- 801-822-2241 blog: idratherbewriting.com twitter: tomjohnson

Feature request - XML format preferences
by David Sewell 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

This is not very important, but if it would be easy to implement I think it is worth doing: In oXygen Preferences, under "Editor - Format - XML", in the section "Elements Spacing", the available options are "Add" and "Remove. Could "Edit" be added?

ant build.xml script processes only 10 items at a time?
by Tom Johnson 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

I have a question about the build.xml script located inside this folder: [Oxygen install directory]/Applications/oxygenAuthor_161/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/plugins/h2d. When I have an HTML file in this directory and I run "ant" from the Terminal, the build.xml script kicks off and converts the first 10 HTML files to DITA topics. I have many more HTML files that I want included in the auto-conversion (more than 1). How can I have the build.xml script convert *all* of the HTML files in that directory?

get an ID on a page?
by Tom Johnson 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

Is there any way to get an ID on a page using DITA and transforming with the DITA OT? For example, I want to add something like this: Even if I hack the Oxygen source to allow IDs to pass through, as I described here ( http://idratherbewriting.com/wpdita/toc_publishing/jquery_side_panel/) the ID gets prepended with the topic ID. This makes it difficult to trigger the jQuery script, which has a trigger of #toc. Each page's p id will change based on the page's topic ID. I tried using a class with the jquery plugin instead, but it doesn't seem to work. This is the TOC plugin: http://fuelyourcoding.com/scripts/toc/index.html. Thanks, Tom --------------------- 801-822-2241 blog: idratherbewriting.com twitter: tomjohnson
