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

combining oxy_editor with oxy_attributes()?
by Madlik, Monika (LNG-VIE) 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Hello, I use Oxygen XML Editor 15.2 and wanted to create an easy to handle Author-View for my Colleagues. Therefore I wanted to output the names of the elements and all used attributes. It was OK with this code: content: "<" local-name() oxy_attributes() ">"; Then I discovered the really cool oxy_editor()-function! Is it possible to combine these two functions, so that I get all attributes of an element and tell them to be a combobox or a textfield or a …?

Direct XML presentation?
by George Cristian Bina 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

Hello, Markus Wiedenmaier shows a new way of using the oXygen XML Author - as a presentation tool: http://youtu.be/EwpRYbDVGQw I really like the idea of presenting the XML directly from the oXygen XML Author and it will be great to have an alternate CSS for DocBook, DITA, XHTML, etc. that will switch the oXygen XML Author in a presentation mode so you can navigate though different sections of the document. Thanks Markus! Best Regards, George -- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com

Fwd: AW: Direct XML presentation?
by George Cristian Bina 04 Apr '14

Hi all, Please see Markus message below... he already adapted the presentation for DITA! More, he shared that with us so you can also get it working if you follow the instructions from the readme file. Regards, George -------- Original Message -------- Subject: AW: Direct XML presentation? Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2014 15:31:12 +0200 From: Markus Wiedenmaier <markus.wiedenmaier(a)practice-innovation.de> Organization: practice innovation To: 'Oxygen User' <oxygen-user(a)oxygenxml.com>, George Cristian Bina <george(a)oxygenxml.com> Hi all. I did a basic configuration for DITA topics, where sections are used consequently. You can get the framework configuration files from here: http://practice-innovation.de/Downloads/oXygenXmlPresentations.zip For those who are interested in the cropping feature, I configured it, too. Please follow the instructions in Readme.txt getting this run. Perhaps someone is willing to do a cool layout for the DITA content and share it with us ;-) Thanks George for making this public.

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" !)
