Hi there, I am trying to use oXygen 21.1 on Ubuntu 19.10. The java interface behaves strange there, it seems not to accept mouse interaction. Is this a known problem / is there a fix for this? All the best, Christian

Dynamic parameter in oxy_path
by Christian Achter 28 Oct '19

28 Oct '19

Dear mailinglist members. I am creating an Oxygen framework to display XML data in Oxygen XML Author's Author mode. This is part of the XML I have with two nodes <ab> in it: <TEI> <text> <body> <div n="A"> <ab xml:id="n_d2e23" type="person"> <seg type="name"> <persName> <surname>Aarberg</surname>, <forename>Peter von</forename> </persName> <roleName>König</roleName> (<date from="ca. 1300" to="vor 1372">ca. 1300–vor 1372</date>) </seg> <seg type="affiliations"> <list> <item> <affiliation role="CEO" hkg:orgKey="#n_123_456">Best CEO they ever had</affiliation> </item> </list> </seg> </ab> <ab xml:id="n_123_456" source="SW_EB" type="organization"> <seg type="name"> <orgName>Altenburger Hofdruckerei</orgName> </seg> </ab> </div> </body> </text> </TEI> The upper <ab> node has an atribute hkg:orgKey="#n_123_456" pointing to second element's xml:id="n_123_456". I use the following CSS to display the value of <orgName> of the second element in the visual representation of the first element: affiliation:after { content: " role: " oxy_textfield( edit, "@role") " Organization ID: " oxy_textfield( edit, "@hkg:orgKey") "Organization name: " oxy_xpath( "/TEI/text/body/div/ab[@xml:id='n_123_456']/seg[@type='name']/orgName/text()" ) " " oxy_url("gfx/link_register.png"); link: attr("hkg:orgKey") } This works fine. But now I need to create the line "/TEI/text/body/div/ab[@xml:id='n_123_456']/seg[@type='name']/orgName/text()" dynamically which means: Instead of the specific value xml:id n_123_456 it should use whatever the value of the attribute @hkg:orgKey of the node <affiliation> is. I tried this: "/TEI/text/body/div/ab[@xml:id=@hkg:orgKey]/seg[@type='name']/orgName/text()" but it doesn't work. I also tried other variations like ab[@xml:id='@hkg:orgKey'] or ab[@xml:id=attr('hkg:orgKey')] and many more but none of them gave me the expected result. Maybe it is a syntax problem. I really hope there will be a solution to this and I would be very thankful for assistance. Any help is appreciated. I tried to send as much code as needed but of course shortened some parts not relevant in this case. If something is missing (or too much) please let me know. Thanks in advance and kind regards Christian Achter University of Bern

Which paramater do I have to change to get the proper symbol of the font? Regards Bernhard

After some time working with the adapted scenario in a book project, I was very surprised today that the scenario got lost. The last time I could use it was eight days ago. I did not change anything in between. Can I retrieve this scenario? Oxygen 20.1 on win7-64 Bernhard

schematron validation in a batch file
by Lou Burnard 10 Oct '19

10 Oct '19

One of the features of oXygen which I really love is the way it allows me to combine schema validation with RELAXNG and with schematron just by adding a couple of PIs to the top of my file. But this requires me to fire up oXygen and open up each file one by one which is not so convenient if I have 100 or more independent documents to validate. I would rather do this in a bash script, along with all the other pre-validation sanitation work. But (a) only oXygen will take any notice of my PIs (obviously) (b) none of the open source validators I've looked at seems to have a hook for including schematron validation (c) oxyGen will do a batch validation of documents included in a project file, which is close to what I want, but still requires me to fire up oXygen, make the project file and click a couple of times, so not really a batch process Maybe someone else has found a way round this, or could explain to me why it's just not possible. And how exactly does oXygen do this magic?
