Oxygen WebHelp on web.archive.org?
by Tony Graham 12 Jun '21

12 Jun '21

I tried to record David Maus's "What's in a Schematron?" paper from Markup UK 2021 on the Wayback Machine at web.archive.org. The paper is available as Oxygen WebHelp at https://markupuk.org/webhelp/index.html#ar02.html Saving that URL on the Wayback Machine records the URL without the fragment identifier. [1] The Wayback Machine shows just the ToC. Clicking on "What's in a Schematron?" in the ToC temporarily takes you to an archived page [2] but the page refreshes twice and you are back at the current https://markupuk.org/webhelp/index.html#ar02.html. That page will be a completely different paper as soon as there's a Markup UK 2022. The Markup UK 2021 papers aren't yet listed under 'Past Conferences' on their website, so a more permanent URL for David's paper doesn't yet exist. Is there a way to stop the Wayback Machine from refreshing to show the current version of an archived URL of an Oxygen WebHelp page? Regards, Tony Graham. -- Senior Architect XML Division Antenna House, Inc. ---- Skerries, Ireland tgraham(a)antenna.co.jp [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20210523043940/https://markupuk.org/webhelp/ind… [2] https://web.archive.org/web/20210523043940/https://markupuk.org/webhelp/ar0…

Is there a way to auto-generate an XML Schema that uses the Russian Doll design?
by Roger L Costello 03 Jun '21

Hi Folks, The Oxygen tool to auto-generate an XML Schema from an instance document is great! The tool generates an XML Schema that uses the Salami Slice design. Is there a way to get the tool to generate an XML Schema that uses the Russian Doll design? /Roger

Hi George, > Please change that setting (Options->Preferences -- Encoding -- Fallback character encoding) > to the default value UTF-8 and you should be able to open the file as expected. Ah! Yes, that fixed it. Thank you! /Roger -----Original Message----- From: oXygen-user <oxygen-user-bounces(a)oxygenxml.com> On Behalf Of George Bina Sent: Tuesday, June 1, 2021 5:03 PM To: oxygen-user(a)oxygenxml.com Subject: [EXT] Re: [oXygen-user] Why is Oxygen showing my files in Chinese? Dear Roger, Sorry, I tried to format the URL and accidentally deleted a character from it, the correct link is: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/23.1/ug-editor/topics/preferences-en… Unicode encoding is UTF-16 and it expects 2 bytes for each character while Notepad saved the document using UTF-8 or an encoding that encoded each character from "Hello world" as one byte. So, if you use Unicode UTF-16 when reading the file then each pair of two bytes will be decoded as one character and the codes for "Hello world" will result in those unexpected characters - you can also note that there are 6 strange characters instead of 12 as you would expect, this is exactly because URF-16 is using 2 bytes for each character. Please change that setting (Options->Preferences -- Encoding -- Fallback character encoding) to the default value UTF-8 and you should be able to open the file as expected.

Hi George, * the user can set, Options->Preferences -- Encoding -- "Fallback character encoding" I checked and it is set to Unicode: [cid:image001.png@01D756C4.D2076E00] * the corresponding user guide topic: * https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/23.1/ug-editor/topic/preferences-enc… That link is no longer valid: [cid:image002.png@01D756C5.2D96E9D0] * You may also attach that sample file to a reply Thank you George – see attached. /Roger -----Original Message----- From: oXygen-user <oxygen-user-bounces(a)oxygenxml.com> On Behalf Of George Bina Sent: Tuesday, June 1, 2021 8:53 AM To: oxygen-user(a)oxygenxml.com Subject: [EXT] Re: [oXygen-user] Why is Oxygen showing my files in Chinese? Dear Roger, When you open a file in Oxygen the bytes representing that file content will be translated to characters using a character encoding. For XML files there is a detection process described by the XML spec. For other type of files the rule is to always use UTF-8. For generic text files there is no encoding information available, so Oxygen provides a default (UTF-8) and exposes that as an option that the user can set, see Options->Preferences -- Encoding -- "Fallback character encoding" and also the corresponding user guide topic: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/23.1/ug-editor/topic/preferences-enc… The first thing to do is to check what value you have for this option in your Oxygen installation, to understand what encoding is used to read the content of that text file. That should ideally match the encoding you used to create the file. You may also attach that sample file to a reply, to allow us to better understand what content has the file what you want to open.

Why is Oxygen showing my files in Chinese?
by Roger L Costello 01 Jun '21

Hi Folks, I created a Hello, world text file using Notepad. Then I dragged and dropped the file into Oxygen. Oxygen displays the text in Chinese (I think). See screenshot below. How do I fix this? /Roger [cid:image001.png@01D756BD.B9E32DC0]
