Re: [oXygen-user] cross-references in author mode

Hi, Mary! When using <xref> in DocBook and you click on chain-link icon or grayed-out identifier you will jump to the target location. It happens not to link the cited text (even though the element itself is EMPTY) so that could probably be a new feature in the DocBook framework. I suggest you check how it is done in the DocBook framework to get clues how to do it in your own framework. I hope this helps! . . . . . .

cross-references in author mode
by Mary McRae 08 Sep '14

Hi, I'm using Author mode to perform some visual QC on converted documents (JATS DTD). Is there a way to make footnote, table, and figure xrefs live? That is, to turn the xref element content ("Figure 2" in the example below) into a hypertext link that, when clicked, places the cursor at the start of the actual footnote, table, or figure? For example, make: <xref ref-type="fig" rid="DAWN11-1215_fig2">Figure 2</xref> Link to this: <fig position="anchor" orientation="portrait" id="DAWN11-1215_fig2"> Mary McRae | XML Strategist / Technical Project Manager | mmcrae(a)iqsolutions.com

Make Enable Master Files Default For New Projects
by Eliot Kimber 08 Sep '14

08 Sep '14

When I create a new project I never don't want master files enabled but I don't yet have any (or know what they might be or want to be bothered identifying them at that moment). I find it annoying to have to respond to the "enable master files" prompt every time. Would be nice if I could set a preference that would make new projects automatically enable master files and go on. A small annoyance I realize, but when I'm creating a new project it's usually in the context of "oh crap, I need to do this new thing Right Now", so these two actions are in the way of me doing what I actually want to do, so the annoyance is multiplied more than it would be if I was creating a project in a calm and considered way, which I never am. Of course, I could be somewhat unique in this aspect due to the nature of the work I do and how I do it (which is to say, I'm always doing a million different things and always starting something new).

Testing Subject Schemes
by Khaled Aly 08 Sep '14

08 Sep '14

Hi I'm running an elementary Subject Scheme test to learn how to use it later for producing a full taxonomy, followed the simple instructions at http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-editor/topics/subject-scheme-map.html. However, when using the attribute defined in the subject scheme map, and although auto completion recognizes its defined values; I get the error: Attribute "p-doc" must be declared for element type "p", where "p-doc" is the 'attributedef' name within the 'enumerationdef' element. Subject scheme file validates well and ditamap file references the subject scheme file. The three files are attached. Would appreciate any directions about this.
