Go to or search a particular line from command prompt
by Andreas Wagner 12 May '15

12 May '15

Hi list, we are currently exploring ways to establish a semi-automatic workflow for post-digitization tasks with TEI files. An external tool will generate lists of unknown words along with a value that uniquely identifies the line that the respective word is in, so I would like to be able to make oxygen go to the relevant line easily while still working in that list. (I am currently thinking along the lines of hyperlinks, or office macros in the list/spreadsheet.) Can I pass an action like "open file xy and go to line number yz" or "open file xy and search for string 'yz'" to oxygen as a commandline option (like 'vim +yz xy' or 'vim +/yz xy')? Of course I am also open to alternative approaches, although I suppose coding an oXygen plugin in java for that purpose surpasses my abilities.

oXygen XML Editor 17 support for DITA-OT 2.1?
by Jim Henderson 11 May '15

11 May '15

Hi, Really loving oXygen 17 here after just a week of use - the changes to the webhelp transformation (particularly the ability to embed the output in an iframe) is something that arrived at a perfect time for me, as I was in the middle of trying to figure out how to add our corporate header/footer to the output, and this made it much simpler. Something that we're getting ready to start doing is incorporating content written by non-writers - support staff and software developers. With the changes in DITA-OT coming up and the support for Commonmark, we've decided to leverage those capabilities to simplify our processes. I know oXygen 17 has support for DITA-OT 2.0, but I'm wondering if that support extends to 2.1, which is required to use the dita-ot-markdown plugin. As a secondary question, does anyone know of a transformation to get from DITA to Commonmark?

Re: [oXygen-user] Feature request: Improvement of Japanese search for WebHelp
by T. Hatanaka 08 May '15

Thanks for the quick turnaround. As a related but side note, I'm thinking to add to WebHelp a simple fuzzy query matching/scoring based on the Levenshtein distance ratio between the query and the index. Have you considered it in the past? I thought you might have considered it, as it would benefit not only Far Eastern cultures but probably also Western cultures. (albeit some Western's have the stemmer in WebHelp) Thanks, T.

selecting multiple attribute values
by Yves Barbion 08 May '15

Hi group I have just installed oXygen XML Editor 17 and I love it! Great work again from the guys from Syncro Soft. Thanks! So here is my first question: I've got a ditamap with a subjectscheme map, so my attribute values are displayed in a drop-down list in the Attributes pane. Is there a way to select multiple attribute values in this drop-down list? [image: Inline image 1] Thanks -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu
