Output from an XSLT transform - other editor formats?
by Steven Anderson 27 Oct '13

27 Oct '13

I'm transforming some content from XML to JSON. Oxygen has a nice JSON editor, but my transform output options, when opening in the editor, are limited to XHTML, XML, or SVG. Is it possible to open another editor variant from the transform? -- Steve

Preview of Illustrator EPS graphics in oXygen
by Yves Barbion 25 Oct '13

25 Oct '13

Hi group I've got Illustrator EPS graphics in my DITA topics. I followed the instructions in this Help topic to install the Java Advanced Imaging(JAI) Image I/O Tools plug-in: http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-editor/tasks/author-image-rendering-jai.htm… However, I don't see a preview yet, even though my EPS file does have an 8-bit TIFF preview. My java.runtime.name is "Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment", so I downloaded jai_imageio-1_1-lib-windows-i586-jre.exe And I installed it in the folder which is specified in my java.home, namely: c:\program files\oxygen xml editor 15.1\jre Any ideas? Thanks -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu

Small bug
by KAATMAN Matthew 25 Oct '13

25 Oct '13

With Oxygen 15.1 I noticed a small issue today. Just for curiosity I tried processing my AHF styles with FOP. It produced some errors as I expected but one of the errors was pointing to an old help file. System ID: C:\dita\en\products\foo\temp\pdf\oxygen_dita_temp\topic.fo Scenario: BMX User AHF PDF Input file: C:\dita\en\products\foo\Foo_User_Manual.ditamap Engine name: DITA-OT Severity: error Description: The flow-name "even-body-footer" on fo:static-content could not be mapped to a region-name in the layout-master-set. Start location: 79:0 URL: http://www.oxygenxml.com/internalHelp/fop-processing-breaks-dita-pdf The above URL gives a 404. I think it should have been pointing to: http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-authorEclipse/index.html#tasks/fop-processi… AVIS : Ce courrier et ses pieces jointes sont destines a leur seul destinataire et peuvent contenir des informations confidentielles appartenant a bioMerieux.

Oxygen add-on hosted as GitHub release
by Tony Graham 24 Oct '13

FYI, here's a description of how I got a framework add-on bundle -- a copy of Wendell's oXygenJATSFramework -- to be hosted on the GitHub project containing the source: http://inasmuch.as/2013/10/23/oxygen-add-on-hosted-on-github/ (The framework files themselves are unchanged, so if you already have Wendell's framework, you don't need my version.)

author action - value parameter question(s)
by Andreas Wagner 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

Dear list, this is my first dabble with a document type framework and with the list, so please be lenient. a) I want to create an author mode action in order to change a certain attribute. I am using the ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.ChangeAttributeOperation operation and have set the value attribute to ${ask('break=',combobox,('yes';'no';'maybe';'':'null'),'')} Now I would like to set the default value not to some static default but to what is currently present in the attribute. Is there some way to get the value of this attribute in the action's parameter definition? b) On a related note, is there a Operation in place that would allow me to just edit whatever is there as attributes in the current element - as one long, free-text string? The ChangeAttributeOperation seems to be able to change only one attribute, so for editing several attributes of one and the same element I have to define different actions and trigger them separately...? c) Finally, I would like to use i18n inside of the ask() variable, say for the message part. Is that possible? Sorry for asking three questions at once, I just hope they are so closely related that it makes sense to do it this way.

Search functionality in insert Symbols dialog
by Wendell Piez 18 Oct '13

18 Oct '13

Hi, I can't say I noticed exactly when you added it (I just upgraded to v15.1), but I thought I'd mention that the search functionality in the insert symbols (whereby you can locate your character by its name in Unicode) really rocks! Awesome! No more going on line for the Unicode tables. Little things can make really big differences.

Addressing content from CSS in Author Mode
by G. Ken Holman 18 Oct '13

18 Oct '13

Hello, all! I hope some enthusiastic oXygen user can point me to how in CSS I can obtain a value from an element other than the element matching the CSS selector. This is a fragment of my CSS: frame { display:block; counter-reset:pane_count; } frame > title{ font-size: 2.0em; border-bottom: 1px solid #004477; } frame > title:before{ content: "Frame " counter(lesson_count) "." counter(frame_count) ": "; counter-increment: frame_count; } frame > title:after { font-size:.5em; color:green; content: attr(id); } At the very end I am exposing the @id, but my selector is in frame's title and the attribute I need to expose is in the parent frame element. I couldn't say attr(../@id) and I couldn't find a way of storing attr(id) in a variable in the frame's selector. A second problem is to expose different content with different appearances using one selector. I tried the following without success: frame > title:before{ content: "Frame " counter(lesson_count) "." counter(frame_count) ": "; /*content: "Frame " counter(module_count) "." counter(lesson_count) "." counter(frame_count) ": ";*/ counter-increment: frame_count; } frame > title:before { font-size:.5em; color:green; content: "XXX"; } ... because only the second selector was selected. I'll fix the "XXX" when I fix the attr() problem stated earlier. Any guidance on either of these two topics would be greatly appreciated! . . . . . . . .

Transformation via CLI
by KAATMAN Matthew 17 Oct '13

17 Oct '13

I've been trying to copy/paste the first line from the oxygen transformation into the CLI with the intention of setting up a script to run the transformation across 30 or so translated ditamaps in series. "c:\pfw\oxygen xml editor 15\jre/bin/java" etc. It fails with a saxon error. flag-module: [preprocess_flag] Transforming into C:\temp\temp\pdf [preprocess_flag] Processing C:\temp\temp\pdf\en\common\Liability_Disclaimer.xml to C:\temp\temp\pdf\en\common\Liability_Disclaimer.xml.flag [preprocess_flag] Loading stylesheet C:\PFW\Oxygen XML Editor 15\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\xsl\preprocess\flag.xsl [preprocess_flag] C:\PFW\Oxygen XML Editor 15\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\xsl\preprocess\flagImpl.xsl:98: Fatal Error! Cannot find a matching 1-argument function named {http://exslt.org/common}node-set(). There is no Saxon extension function with the local name node-set [preprocess_flag] Failed to process null BUILD FAILED C:\PFW\Oxygen XML Editor 15\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\build.xml:56: The following error occurred while executing this line: C:\PFW\Oxygen XML Editor 15\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\plugins\org.dita.base\build_preprocess.xml:339: Fatal error during transformation Is there any way I can pull this off? I think it would save me time vs opening each map individually and copying the PDF after it's created, etc. Thanks!
