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.)

How to Search on Characters by Character Code?
by Eliot Kimber 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

Occasionally I need to search for specific Unicode characters, often characters that are not visible (for example, I just had an issue with character \u009D, (a control character that would normally never occur in a real XML document). I realized that I don't know how or if there's a direct way to search using character code. I worked around it by putting  in an XML file, switching to Author mode, then copying the character and using that for search, but surely there's an easier way?

Re: [oXygen-user] count objects in ditamaps?
by Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu) 26 Feb '15

Hi Roderik, This looks quite hard to properly implement. You could probably use our StylesFilter API from a plugin: > http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/#concepts/stylesfilter-plugin.html to dynamically add some static content before each image and table title. But you would still need to somehow compute that counter for each figure and title so you would need to go over the entire list of topics referenced in the DITA Map and count all occurrences of figures and titles which are before the ones from the current edited DITA topic. This would take a lot of time so you would need to somehow create a cache and update it when topics are edited and saved. And a topic can be referenced multiple times in the DITA Map, what counter number would you compute for figures and tables inside it?

count objects in ditamaps?
by Roderik Dernison 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

Hi, We need a way to automatically count images, tables, examples in topics grouped in ditamaps. I.e.: Map 1 Topic 1 Example 1.1 Example 1.2 Topic 2 Example 1.3 Example 1.4 Map 2 Topic 3 Example 2.1 Topic 4 Example 2.2 Example 2.3 Is this possible? I know that per topic you can count with css with preceding siblings. Should I make a plugin that can count and number objects over ditamaps? Kind regards, Ing.

xliff support

It’d be nice to have xliff support. Both in the filename & the author view. Currently, when I save, it always tries to rename the file with an xml extension.

xproc vs xslt
by Patrik.Stellmann＠gdv-dl.de 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

Hi, after some (more or less successful) experiments with xproc I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to implement everything in xslt and add the missing steps (for instance fop and schematron validation) as custom extension elements written in java. My argumentation: - Calling xslt from xproc you can only use string parameters (trying to fill in for instance a boolean parameter will result in conversion error) - The integration of xslt into oxygen "feels" much more advanced than that of xproc. - Direct output of messages from xslt (for debugging and logging with a link to the code that caused the output). (Running an xslt from xproc the xslt messages are not visible at all.) - I will have to add some custom extension written in java anyway. (So learning how to do it will be necessary in both cases.) Does anyone have more experience with xproc and could maybe add some arguments for or against xproc? Thanks and regards, Patrik GDV Dienstleistungs-GmbH & Co.

oXygen users meetup @ XML Prague
by George Bina 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Hi all, If you plan to attend XML Prague next week please consider joining us at the oXygen users meetup in the pre-conference day: http://oxygenxml.com/events/2015/oXygen-user-meetup-Prague.html The oXygen meetup is collocated with Saxonica users meetup so the day starts with a Saxon session where you can meet Michael Kay and other Saxonica developers, find the current status of Saxonica products and ask questions about Saxon. We follow with 2 very interesting sessions, in the first one Radu Pisoi will cover possibilities to refactor XML using XSLT and XQuery updates as technology but though an easy to use interface and Octavian Nadolu will show quick fixes for XSLT and XML, including Schematron Quick Fixes where we have invited also Nico Kutscherauer who initiated the Schematron Quick Fixes idea. After lunch, we have another guest, Claudius Teodorescu, who will present an interesting way of creating oXygen frameworks - a project that allows defining frameworks with XQuery + HTML + CSS and then it generates all the oXygen specific configuration files. Alex Jitianu will show how to create user-friendly interfaces to authoring XML documents where the document itself becomes the entire user interface and he will also preview some of the new functionality that will be available in the next release of oXygen. In the last part of the day I will show you where we are now with the web-based editing that we introduced last year at XML Prague - the oXygen WebApp and we will close the day with an open panel where you can see what are our plans for the future and ask the oXygen developers any questions you may have about oXygen. I am looking forward to meeting many of you there! Please register for the meetup at: http://oxygenxml.com/events/2015/oXygen-user-meetup-Prague.html#prague2015_… Best Regards, George -- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com

Webhelp ToC Icons
by Steve Bass 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

Does anyone have a suggestion on the "best" way to modify artifacts (xsl, js, css, others) so that we can have a unique icon image for DocBook elements: book, chapter, sect1, sect, 2, sect3 ... instead of open/closed books? Hopefully in a manner where we don't have to customize the shipping artifacts. We're using oXygen 16.1. --Steve Bass Washington Publishing Company
