Oxygen XML search options in Eclipse plugin?
by Steven Anderson 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

I love using the XML search options when doing searches with Oxygen, but I don't see that option when I'm using the eclipse plug-in - is it possible to include XML search options when searching in eclipse? If so, can you tell me how? Thanks, Steve

Automatic check in / update functionality?
by Roderik Dernison 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

Hi, Is there already a plugin that updates the svn-repository when oxygen is started and commits when oxygen is closed? If not, will it be implemented? Or how much effort is it for a programmer to implement?

import order for docbook parameters: who wins?
by Robert Nagle 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

When you configure a docbook transformation, you can use the Parameters dialog to set the values for a parameter. Or you can set it in a customization layer in C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Author 16\frameworks\docbook\xsl\fo\docbook_custom.xsl My question is: which takes precedence? Can I assume that the values in docbook_custom.xsl will always override a value in the parameter dialogue box? Suppose the default value for some parameter value is "no" but I use the parameter dialog to change it to "yes", At the same time in docbook_custom.xsl I hard code it to "no". Who wins? -- Robert Nagle 6121 Winsome Ln #56C, Houston TX 77057-5581 (Cell) 832-251-7522 Carbon Neutral Since Jan 2010

Repeat fo:table-caption for a table that spans multiple pages question
by Coe, David E 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

How can I repeat the fo:table-caption for a table that spans multiple pages and add "- Continued" at the end of the table-caption on the subsequent pages. The tools I use are Oxygen Editor 16 as my XML editor and Arbortext Editor 6.1 to publish to PDF using its XSL-FO processor. Arbortext XSL-FO processor is equal to or slightly better than Apache FOP. At this time, I do not have the option to use a different FO processor. I prefer to try to solve it through XSLT and XSL-FO since I have more time and understanding invested in it, instead trying to learn how to create a FOSI file in Arbortext - I love learning but it takes time and deadlines seem to come too quickly. XSLT is fairly new to me and I am still learning; please forgive my ignorance if I stated something incorrectly in that regard. I am restricted to customer-provided DTD and XSL files even though I can modify the XSLT to solve a particular issue like I posed. It is my understanding that the XSL code implements the XSLT 2.0 and XSL-FO 1.1 standards. Fo:retrieve-table-marker is not supported by these processors. I have tried the various methods of using fo:retrieve-marker that I have found through several forums but I was not successful in solving this specific problem even though I did learn new stuff which allowed me to get this far. The best I was able to do was use fo:retrieve-marker for table caption in a static-content area but it repeats the table-caption on every page in the page header instead of displaying directly above the table. Below is my code snippet:  <xsl:template match="/"> <fo:root> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master page-width="8.5in" page-height="11in" master-name="first"> <fo:region-body margin-right="1in" margin-left="1in" margin-bottom="1in" margin-top="1in" /> <fo:region-before extent=".5in" /> <fo:region-after extent=".5in" /> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <fo:page-sequence master-reference="first"> <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before"> <fo:table-caption> <fo:block font-weight="bold" text-align="center">  <fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="table-caption-continued" retrieve-position="first-starting-within-page" /> </fo:block> </fo:table-caption> </fo:static-content> <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after"> <fo:block text-align="center"> <fo:page-number /> </fo:block> </fo:static-content> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body" font-family="sans-serif"> <xsl:apply-templates /> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="table"> <fo:table-and-caption> <fo:block>  <fo:marker marker-class-name="table-caption-continued"> <xsl:apply-templates select="title" /> </fo:marker> </fo:block> <fo:block> <fo:marker marker-class-name="table-caption-continued"> <xsl:apply-templates select="title" /> - Continued </fo:marker> </fo:block> <fo:table width="100%" table-layout="fixed"> <fo:table-column column-width="50%" /> <fo:table-column column-width="50%" /> <fo:table-header> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell border="solid"> <fo:block font-weight="bold"> <xsl:apply-templates select="tgroup/thead/row/entry[1]" /> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell border="solid"> <fo:block font-weight="bold"> <xsl:apply-templates select="tgroup/thead/row/entry[2]" /> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> </fo:table-header> <fo:table-body> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell border="solid"> <fo:block> <xsl:apply-templates select="tgroup/tbody/row[1]/entry[1]" /> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell border="solid"> <fo:block> <xsl:apply-templates select="tgroup/tbody/row[1]/entry[2]" /> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> <fo:table-body> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell border="solid"> <fo:block> <xsl:apply-templates select="tgroup/tbody/row[2]/entry[1]" /> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell border="solid"> <fo:block> <xsl:apply-templates select="tgroup/tbody/row[2]/entry[2]" /> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> ... </fo:table-body> </fo:table> </fo:table-and-caption> </xsl:template> I appreciate any assistance in trying to solve this problem.

Hello, LanguageTool is a grammar checker and style checker (www.languagetool.org) You can integrate LanguageTool with oXygen (http://sourceforge.net/p/languagetool/mailman/message/32436496/) A term checker (www.simplified-english.co.uk) for Simplified Technical English (STE), specification ASD-STE100 (www.asd-ste100.org) uses LanguageTool. Thus, you can use the STE term checker with oXygen. Related article: www.oxygenxml.com/forum/topic10675.html. Regards, Mike Unwalla Contact: www.techscribe.co.uk/techw/contact.htm

HTML5 transformation
by Peter West 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

I'm transforming EPUB2 files to xhtml5 for EPUB3. Here's the beginning of one of the EPUB2 files. <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Personal Knowledge: Towards a Post-Critical Philosophy</title> <meta content="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> ... </head> My xsl file has, inter alia, this: <xsl:output method="xhtml" html-version="5"/> When I do the transform, I get html5 output, including the meta element, like so: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Personal Knowledge: Towards a Post-Critical Philosophy</title> ... </head> Oxygen and Jing do not like http-equiv="Content-Type" Uh-uh, no way. They want Default-Style or Refresh, and nothing else will do. I went through every contortion I could think of to recast teh meta element, to no avail. I could generate a second meta element, but I could not get rid of the original meta. I was as though that meta was hard coded into the html5 transformer. So I have two questions. Is it possible to circumvent the copy of the existing head subelements, including meta? Why is the xslt so stubborn about http-equiv="Content-Type", when the validation rejects it for html5?
