Refactoring operation to transform the first row of all tables in a set of DITA topics to a header row
by Yves Barbion 30 Sep '20

Hi group I've got a bunch of DITA topics with tables which do not have a header row yet, so I was wondering whether there is a refactoring operation available somewhere which transforms the first row(s) of all tables in a set of DITA topics to a header row? Thanks Yves

Basic help - consulting need

I am looking for someone to help me get Oxygen not to break with everything I try. I have watched every webinar and searched for answers, but it is just not helping. I am new to Oxygen. I have a very large set of books that I need to get going quickly. While I have figured some complex things out, I can't get the basics working. I need to set up a project that will have three large books in it. For now, I am just trying to get one working. I set up a project and added the ditamap I have been working on. I use the Ditamap PDF - based on HTML5 &CSS scenario and it outputs ok, although the bookmark are all squishy. I want to customize the output, so I duplicate the scenario and change some parameters and save as a publishing template and add to my project. Now I can output using the new scenario. If I use miniTOC, things get messed up. The only way to get rid of the problem is to delete the whole project and scenario and start over.. I do that and the new scenario works (without minTOC). Now I try to edit the css in the publishing template. No matter what I try to edit, even if I put in a period and then delete it, Oxygen breaks and won't transform anything. It says there is a problem with build.xml Again, the only way to get it working again is to delete everything and start over. All I really need are the following items. * Headers Bold non serif * Table format: shaded top row and full borders * Line under the first header(title). * Headers to continue for tables (not available in Parameters) * minitoc would be nice, but not necessary if it causes problems. * hyphenation * I'll need to configure the cover page at some point This is really basic stuff that should take me a few miniutes. I just don't understand how to get it setup and working in Oxygen. I don' think that it will take more than 2 hours to get all this going. I have put about 18 in to attempting to make it work. Between this and the issue I had with Equation conversion from Word (which Radu thankfully helped me through), I am way behind. If I can just get this basic startup, the rest should be pretty smooth. Creating the ditamap and content is not my issue and if I make no changes to the scenario or CSS I can output to PDF. But i do need to make changes to the CSS (or scenario) and I need help getting that working as soon as possible. Thanks, Debbi Debbi Leipold | Mobile (410) 905-7948

Hi Alex, No luck there :( No exceptions in the console. I have uploaded an image to https://ibb.co/yg6CLKG As I think the maillist scrubs images. The image shows the empty list.

It looks like in the picture below. In your case, do you get an empty list? Please start Oxygen from the command line script (oxygenDeveloper.bat or oxygenDeveloper.sh) and check the console for any exceptions after clicking the customize button.

[Ann] New Oxygen add-on to help translators
by Radu Coravu 03 Sep '20

03 Sep '20

Hi everyone, Over the course of this summer one of our interns, Mircea Badoi, worked on a free Oxygen XML add-on designed to help translating XML content. Starting from yesterday, the add-on is available for Oxygen vesions 21.1 or newer in our default add-on repository. If you want to install it, you can use the Oxygen main menu "Help->Install new add-ons", choose the default Oxygen add-on update site and you will find an add-on named "Translator Helper (Experimental)" in the list. The add-on has two main features: 1. You can translate content using Google Translate to various languages: * Select the content to translate in the *Author* visual editing mode. You can also select the entire document contents. DITA topics are small so you can select the entire topic contents. * Right click. Select "Google Translate into" and choose the target language. * Copy the translated content from the opened web page. * Click *Replace* in the Oxygen *Translate using Google Translate* dialog that showed up. The original content should now be replaced with the translated content, the original element structure and attributes should remain unchanged. * In addition you can choose to show the original document content in the *Translator Helper* side view. This will allow you to correct the translation further by looking at the original text and the translated text side by side. 2. You can see the original content side by side with the content that you are translating, so you can translate correctly and easy by right clicking in the Author visual editing mode and invoking the *Show current content in side view* action. So I hope you will enjoy the add-on, if you have questions or improvement requests, they are as usual welcomed. One area in which the plugin may be useful is for example if you want to quickly demo to a customer how a topic written in English would look like in other languages like Japanese Chinese, French, German, Russian, etc. Regards, Radu Radu Coravu Oxygen XML Editor
