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

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

recursive author actions
by Andreas Wagner 03 Apr '14

03 Apr '14

Dear all, I have an author mode action which I want to behave recursively, but this does not seem to work. Can I do something about it? Here is my action/use case: I want to edit TEI xml documents and add expansions to abbreviations. When I select a text and trigger my action, it surrounds the selected text with an <abbr/> element, adds an <expan/> element the content of which is queried in a dialogue box, and surrounds both of these elements with a <choice/> element. Now, when someone has edited the document before and has marked something as being an abbreviation, but has not noted its expansion, the selected text already is an <abbr/> element. Using a second action mode and the ExecuteMultipleActionsOperation, I want to catch this, strip the <abbr/> and re-add it along with the whole rest of the construct. I know that this is not how to handle such action definitions best, but rather than explaining what I have inserted in which dialogue field, I post what the action looks like in the framework file (well, somewhat - I have left out some parameters): <action> <field name="id"> <String>choice abbr+expan</String> </field> ... <field name="actionModes"> <actionMode-array> <actionMode> <field name="xpathCondition"> <String>*:abbr</String> </field> <field name="argValues"> <map> <entry> <String>actionIDs</String> <String>abbr.dontask choice abbr+expan</String> </entry> </map> </field> <field name="operationID"> <String>ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.ExecuteMultipleActionsOperation</String> </field> </actionMode> <actionMode> <field name="xpathCondition"> <String></String> </field> <field name="argValues"> <map> <entry> <String>fragment</String> <String><choice xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"><abbr></abbr><expan>${ask('Expansion?', generic)}</expan></choice></String> </entry> </map> </field> <field name="operationID"> <String>ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.SurroundWithFragmentOperation</String> </field> </actionMode> </actionMode-array> </field> </action> (The abbr.dontask action toggles (i.e. removes in this case) the surrounding abbr element; and when I use another action in the MultipleActions above (say, choice orig+reg), it works fine. It only fails to call itself, it seems.) Thank you for any hint.

Strategies for preserving Java settings when upgrading oXygen?
by David Sewell 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Because I often work with large XML files, I need to modify the default Java settings for oXygen to allow more maximum memory (-Xmx4096m instead of the default 1024 usually). In the Mac environment, this is easy to do by editing the Info.plist file, but I always forget to do it when I upgrade oXygen and only discover it when opening a large file causes problems. Does anyone have a (semi-)automated way to preserve settings like this, or should I just try to remember? (I could put a file in the oXygen directory called "000_REMEMBER_TO_INCREASE_JAVA_MEMORY.txt" !)

Using special characters while authoring
by Nathan 31 Mar '14

Hi, Is there anyway to enter in special characters like mdash, ndash etc without using escape sequence (like maybe set up a shortcut etc)? Thanks, Nathan

An example of xd documentation in xquery?
by Steven Anderson 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

I'm doing a bit of xquery work and I want to take advantage of the excellent xd documentation facilities but I don't see an example of how to add the content to an xquery document. In a new XSLT document I know I need to add the namespace, then I can go and add <xd:doc> elements, but in XQuery I don't know how to do the equivalent. Can someone share an example xquery file with embedded doc? Thanks, Steve

These are the files I created in my directory a couple years ago: oxygen-add-DocBook-4-article-and-monospc.txt oxygen-plist -Xss2m -Xms128m -Xmx1024m.txt I use them to remember what to do after installing an update. . . . . . . . .

XML Data Transfer
by Robert C. Leif 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Radu Coravu et al Does oXygen include or is there available a utility to move data from an element in one XML page to a second identical element in another XML page? The two elements not being required to be at the same location in their respective XML pages or to contain the same data. Could this be done in one step for all such elements in a pair of XML pages? I test my XSD1.1 schema designs by generating XML pages and subsequently manually filling them. If one goes through many iterations, this becomes painful, tedious and expensive. Thank you.

AuthorMode, open selected word in default app (browser)
by Andreas Wagner 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Dear list, I am working on an author mode/document type framework and I would like to allow my users to select a word and open a browser with the selected word at some place in the url. (like e.g. http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/morph?l=MYFUNNYWORD&la=la) Can I achieve this with the ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.OpenInSystemAppOperation operation, and if so, what should its parameters be? (Ideally, a somewhat similar command could open a default link for the current document, the ID of which it would read from some XPath. E.g. google for the title and author of the current document.)

Problem with Saxon's EXPath/file:exists on Mac
by Stefan Krause 23 Mar '14

23 Mar '14

Hi all, I have the following stylesheet: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:file="http://expath.org/ns/file" version="2.0" exclude-result-prefixes="#all"> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:variable name="file" as="xs:string" select="string(document-uri(/))"/> <test> <xsl:value-of select="$file"/>: <xsl:value-of select="file:exists($file)"/>/<xsl:value-of select="doc-available($file)"/> </test> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> I run it from OxygenXML with the stylesheet itself as the input document. I expected the result is <test>file:/Users/Stf/Documents/trash/file-exists.xsl: true/true</test> but actually it is <test>file:/Users/Stf/Documents/trash/file-exists.xsl: false/true</test> Since I get the expected result from Oxygen on Windows, I think there is something wrong with the Mac implementation. I use XML Editor 15.2, build 2014022718 on Mac OS X 10.9.2 (13C64) with java.version=1.6.0_65. The transformation scenario uses Saxon-PE, and Saxon’s »-ext«-option is checked. There are no errors during the transformation. Any hints to get the right result? Thank you, Stefan
