Putting an image URL in an image reference
by Steve Matlock 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

I'm using Oxygen 10.x I have image urls that our users use that look like this: " https://www.mysite.com/image/button?color=orange&OwnerId=JoeSmith&size=larg… " When these URLs are opened, they pull in the right button based upon the owner, color, size, and background. If I try to use this image URL as-is in the image tag, I get an error because the "&" means the following word is treated as an HTML entity name such as &copy or &trade. So I changed the "&" in the URL to "&" Now I don't get an error, but I also don't get an image. Is there a way to modify this URL so it retrieves the right image using the syntax I'm using? I can't point to an image without using these parameters. -- Steve Matlock http://nohomeformyblog.blogspot.com/

fo processing error with xep
by Ted Kuster 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

Can anyone suggest where to begin debugging this? I don't yet have the XSL chops to do more than vaguely guess what's happening in the lines referenced in the error messages. I'm running Oxygen 11 in Eclipse 3.6 on Ubuntu 9.10. (And cross-posting to the XEP list.) Here's what seems to be the relevant output: transform.topic2fo: [dita-version] Search finished [detect-lang] Lang search finished [echo] Using document.locale=en_US [echo] [index-preprocess] [INFO] IBM ICU4J Collator is not found.

quick find changes in 11.1
by James Sulak 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

I might be crazy, but it looks like the incremental search (or "quick find") feature changed between versions 11 and 11.1. In 11.1, when I activate quick find, the previous search term is still in the search box, unhighlighted. When I start typing my new search term is appended to the old search term, matching nothing. For example: SearchOneSearchTwo The entire search term is highlighted if I pres control-alt-f again, at which point I can start typing and overwrite it. What this means is that every time I want to do an incremental search, I end up pressing control-alt-f, control-alt-f. I think the previous (and desired) behavior in 11.0 and previous versions was that when quick find was activated, the old term was highlighted, so that typing started a new search term. In other words, I could press control-alt-f, begin typing, and find what I intend immediately. If I'm correct, is there any chance of restoring the old behavior in the next release? Thanks, -James

License 11 problem
by Thomas Zastrow 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

Dear all, we have a license for Oxygen 10 and as far as I remember, with this one we should also be able to use version 11? But today, I tried to update from 10 to 11.1 and the license key doesn't works anymore?

saxon9-ant.jar?
by Tony Graham 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

<oXygen/> comes with Saxon and with Ant. Would it be possible for it to also come with saxon9-ant.jar so it's possible to use the <saxon-xslt> Ant task when running Ant within <oXygen/> without having to add any extra jars? Of course, if <oXygen/> came with saxon9-ant.jar, I'd then also look for the DTD for Ant that's bundled with <oXygen/> to include the <saxon-ant> element.

Note on transformation scenarios
by Steven Ericsson-Zenith 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Dear George, It would be most useful if the transformation scenarios had an option that required the document in the editor to be refreshed after the transform (for cases where an XQuery transform is applied to the current document in a database and the editor does not spot the change). Also, use of XSLT result-document to generate multiple documents overrides the default document generated, the transformation scenarios do not handle this case (they always expect a result file). It's annoying to have Oxygen generate a preview of an empty file in these cases.

Feature Request: SVN lock/unlock for Items in Map
by Eliot Kimber 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

For the DITA spec we are using SVN locks to help prevent overwritting of spec topics as the authors are not necessarily as well coordinated as they would be in an more typical enterprise. We use maps to organize different sections of the spec but the naming conventions and file organization practice does not make it easy to know what files go with what map. It occurred to me that it would be really handy of Oxygen could manage locks on a per-map basis when the map is managed in an SVN repository.

custom transformation engines: provide parameters from scenarios list
by Stefan Krause 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Hello, I configured AltovaXML 2010 and Intel SOA Expressway XSLT Processor as custom xslt engines, but I found no way to provide the parameters from the transformation scenario's parameter list to the custom processors. Can you give me a hint? Many thanks, Stefan

XInclude requires xml:base= to be declared
by Syd Bauman 14 Jan '10

14 Jan '10

When the preference XML > XML / XML Parser > Enable XInclude Processing is checked, I get an error message on validation of the including document if the xml:base= attribute is *not* declared for the root element of the included document. I am guessing that oXygen is tacking on an xml:base= attribute to the root element of the included documents before validation.

Potential IE whitespace issue in Oxygen
by Steven Ericsson-Zenith 13 Jan '10

13 Jan '10

Dear George et al., I note a problem that cost me several hours of debugging. If I generate a strict and validated xhtml file through Saxon and then read it into the editor so that I can save it to a URI, the file no longer renders in IE, though it is still fine in other browsers. If I simply copy the file to it's destination with a filesystem copy then it works fine in IE. I am surprised that IE barfs on whitespace, but also concerned that Oxygen adds something troublesome into the file. On a brief inspection the problem seems to be both in the main text (the header is where I traced an unexplainable issue to using Visual Studio) and in the tail of the file, which appears to have garbage attached.
