Save in Author mode doesn’t preserve empty lines
by infotexture 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Hi, I include empty lines in DITA files to improve the readability of the source code when viewed as text. If I switch to Author mode & save, oXygen doesn’t honor the **Preserve empty lines** preference. The same happens with map files saved from the DITA Maps Manager. I would expect the empty lines to remain, as I have specified the following settings: * Editor > Format > XML > Preserve empty lines = ON * Editor > Pages > Author > Format & indent when passing from author...=OFF Have I misunderstood the settings, is there another flag I need to set, or is this a bug? Regards, Roger

Setting output file name
by Steve Matlock 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

I'm generating PDFs using the default/demo PDF generator in Oxygen 10.x on Vista and using a bookmap and a dita map. I'm looking for a way to set the output file name explicitly -- currently the ditamap/bookmap I'm using becomes the output file name. I've looked through help and through the demo transforms, but I'm not finding this. I see that I can do this for PS, HTML, or TXT output. Is there a way to explicitly set the file name in Oxygen 10.x / DITA?

no luck with xproc scenario
by Christian Wittern 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

Hi there, Today I got my first XProc file working and now I am struggling to drive it from oxygen. What I would like to achieve is that the input and output files are taken from the environment in a similar way as the XSLT scenario does. However, the input port dialog does not let me input editor variables, although the help seems to suggest that this should be possible. And on the output side, I can set an editor variable, but if I set it to contain ${cfn} as I usually do, this turns out to be the filename of the XPRoc file, not of the input file, so it is the same for all files and thus not useful. Either I am seriously misunderstanding how this is supposed to work, or there are some bugs to fix here.

ISO Schematron not supported in NVDL
by Jirka Kosek 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

Hi, it seems that although oXygen supports standalone and embedded ISO Schematron it is not able to process ISO Schematron schemas referenced from NVDL. I'm getting the following error: Engine name: Jing Severity: error Description: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException-no implementation available for schema language with namespace URI "http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron" in oXygen 11.

Problem with DocBook 4.x stylesheet customizations
by Jirka Kosek 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hi, I have noticed that for some time oXygen is now shipping with namespaced DocBook stylesheets. This is just fine, but problem is that frameworks/docbook/catalog.xml contains the following rule: <rewriteURI uriStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/" rewritePrefix="xsl/"/> This rule will cause import of namespaced stylesheets into customizations layers written against original non-namespaced stylesheets. As such customization layers do not reference DocBook elements in namespace result is mangled output. Would it be possible to either drop this entry completely from XML catalog or to ship oXygen with both namespaced and non-namespaced stylesheets?

selection plugin results to result pane?
by Christian Wittern 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hi there, In a recent discussion with fellow TEI encoders who use oXygen as one of their XML editors, as one of the reasons *nat* to use oXygen was mentioned that in oXygen one can not use a selection to, for example trigger a database lookup with a result displayed in a result panel. Now, pondering this question, I was looking at the plugin types and wondered, if the SelectionPlugin could be used to develop something like this. However, according to the documentation, apparently the results of the Selection Plugin always go back and replace the selection, which is unwanted in this case. Also, it is not clear to me, if actions taken in the plugin could show their results in the result pane?

Re: [oXygen-user] Scenario causes Oxegen 11 to become unresponsive

Thank you for the details. See the remarks below. Mark Wilson wrote: > (2) Platform: Vista Ultimate > (3) It happens every time I run these files in a debug scenario.

On my Vista Business computer the XSLT debugger completes the transformation in about 3 seconds. I don't think this time difference is caused by a large difference in hardware power between our computers if your computer is able to run Vista Ultimate and the same debugging session ends quickly in Oxygen 10.3 that runs on the same computer. > d) After another minute or so, the text box filled to near the > bottom.

I get the result document in the Text output view of the debugger on a single line containing 307,318 characters. The the result document starts with <fo:root> and ends with </fo:root>. There is no vertical scroll bar in this view because the whole document is on a single line. I get the same result with Saxon-HE, Saxon-PE and Saxon-EE. Maybe we don't use the same files? Can you check that you tested with the same files that you posted to the mailing list? I attach the files received from you. Best regards, Sorin

Re: [oXygen-user] Batch transformations

Hi Wendell, We discovered some issues with the associations of transformation scenarios made from the project. Basically opening the Associate Transformation Scenario dialog and pressing Cancel or Escape to close it caused a revert to the previous associated scenario. We fixed these issues and we made them available also as oXygen 11 build 2009102810 available now from our download page http://www.oxygenxml.com/download_oxygenxml_editor.html Putting back the old Transform with... action is scheduled to be available in oXygen 11.1.

Batch transformations
by Wendell Piez 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi, In the Projects View in v10.3, the context menu items for files and folders included one that allowed the application of a Transformation Scenario that hadn't yet been associated with the document(s) -- "Transform with..." or some such. (It was analogous to validating with an external schema. You picked the Transformation Scenario you wanted to run, and voila.) This menu option is gone from 11.0 and I miss it. It was especially useful for transforming documents in batches. I suspect there is another way to achieve the same thing. Any tips?

security risk when using exist from oxygen ?!
by Christian Wittern 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Hi there, I just discovered what I think is a security risk, or at least a flaw in the way oxygen presents system ids. When evaluating a XPath for a document that is accessed through webdav on an eXist database, the results are displayed in the bottom pane of the window. The column for system ID will show the users credentials, that is, account name and password in clear text. It seems a potential risk to me to expose these things, so I wonder if there is a way to hide that.
