Feature Request: Control-click type and ref attribute values in xsd editor to jump around the schema
by Andrew Welch 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hi, Would it be possible to make type and ref attributes in the xsd editor clickable so that control clicking them jumps to their targets? For example: 1. <xs:element name="foo" type="foo"/> 2. 3. <xs:complexType name="foo"> 4. <xs:sequence> 5. <xs:element ref="foo"/> Clicking type="foo" at 1. jumps to line 3, and clicking ref="foo" at line 5. jumps back to line 1. I know you can do this currently using the diagram view, but it would be really useful if you could do it directly from within the editor. thanks -- Andrew Welch http://andrewjwelch.com Kernow: http://kernowforsaxon.sf.net/

Map Editor Should Remember Last Directory Used for Topicrefs
by Eliot Kimber 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

I noticed that if I use the map editor to create a topic ref, then go to a different file (in my case, a DTD declaration module) then create another topicref, the remembered directory is the directory containing the file I just edited, not the last directory I used to create a topic ref. I think it's the likely case that authors will be linking to topics in the last directory they linked from. Would be convenient if the map editor remembered this directory.

<oXygen/> as diff tool for TortoiseSVN
by Hedley Finger 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

I want to use TortoiseSVN as the poor man's CMS for my XML project (based on DITA DTDs). The built-in diff-merge is line oriented, as are many other diff tools intended for programmers. This can lead to excessive flagging of differences in XML files which, by XML conventions for white space, linebreaks, attribute order, etc. are perfectly identical. Has anybody successfully used <oXygen/> as an XML diff-merge tool with TortoiseSVN or any other programming version management programme? How do you set TortoiseSVN up to invoke <oXygen/> and pass filename parameters, etc.? Any help received will earn my undying and pathetic gratitude! Regards, Hedley P.S.

help with oxygen 9.2
by Juan York 29 May '08

29 May '08

I've recently upgraded from Oxygen 9.1 to Oxygen 9.2 Performing this upgrade seems to have broken my xslt transformations. I have a project which is an extension of docbook 5.0 the custom xslt style sheet that I created imports the docbook.xsl which is located in frameworks. In 9.1 everything worked as expected. The basic layout was <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" version="1.0"> <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/docbook.xsl "/> <xsl:variable name="root.elements" select="' systemfeature scenario appendix article bibliography book systemfeature colophon dedication glossary index part preface qandaset refentry reference sect1 systemfeature set setindex '"/> <xsl:template match="systemfeature"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> And the stylesheet would match the systemfeature element and apply the proper templates to any docbook tags contained within it. Within 9.2 the import statement seems to "stop" the process, I cannot match any elements after I have imported. If there's anyone who can help with this issue it would be much appreciated. thanks Juan

Unchecking "Use default catalog" Does Not Stop Framework's Catalog From Being Used
by Eliot Kimber 28 May '08

28 May '08

I'm trying to use Oxygen to test documents against a set of DTDs as organized for distribution to a client. These are DITA specializations that use the draft DITA 1.2 declarations, so I don't want the DITA 1.1 declarations to be involved at all. Unfortunately, it appears that Oxygen is including the DITA OT catalog from the frameworks directory even though I have "use default catalog" unchecked in my catalog options and only have my distribution-specific catalog included in the list of user-specified catalogs. Examining the catalog resolution trace I can see that references to the standard DITA declaration sets are resolving to the framework location. Is my expectation of how "use default catalog" should work correct or is there another way to disable use of the framework catalogs?

very slow response when switching back to oXygen
by Seraphim Larsen 23 May '08

23 May '08

Hi all, I'm a pretty new oXygen user (new since version 9.1). Really love the tool! But one thing that is really annoying is that if I leave oXygen for awhile (say, 20 minutes), and then come back to it, it usually takes at least 20-30 seconds before it starts responding, and it can sometimes take several minutes. I guess it's some kind of memory paging issue or something. This sometimes happens with other programs too, but it's much worse with oXygen than with any other program that I use. Is there something I can do to configure oXygen to get rid of this problem? I'm running oXygen 9.2 on Windows XP. Thanks, Seraphim

Setting up and configuring the Idiom FO Plugin in 9.2
by Eliot Kimber 23 May '08

23 May '08

Using 9.2 I tried to use the Idiom plugin to generate PDF. I had not done anything to the built-in framework. The transform scenario panel indicated that XEP was detected, but when I ran it I got a failure saying that it couldn't find xep/lib in /Applications/DITA-OT1.4.1 (this is on OS X). I did not have an /Applications/DITA-OT1.4.1 directory on my machine (although I had in the past). I did a search within the framework for "DITA-OT1.4.1" and couldn't find it. I then tried copying a working copy of xep from another Toolkit instance I had lying about into the framework's fo/lib directory, but no change. Finally, I created the directory it was looking for and put xep there and the PDF generation worked. Clearly there's something odd on my machine that is causing this problem but I have no idea what it might be. I'm afraid I found the online help for setting up the Idiom plugin a bit confusing (although I find the plugin itself a bit confusing). I didn't see any configuration settings that would have been pointing at DITA-OT1.4.1. Is it possible this is actually a bug in the plugin as distributed that was simply masked by the fact that the target directory exists on the machine(s) used to test Oxygen? I would have never noticed the problem if I had kept my 1.4.1 Toolkit around.

Feature Request: Collapse All/Expand All/Expand One Level in DITA Map View
by Eliot Kimber 23 May '08

23 May '08

One of the really nice features of Arbortext Editor is the way you can control the expansion in their tree viewer: expand/collapse all or expand one level (they also implement a triple click that does the expand one level). For example, given a fully-expanded map, selecting the map element and doing "expand one level" would collapse all the children of the map so you only see the direct child topicrefs/topicheads. This is especially handy for very long maps. For example, I'm doing a lot of DTD documentation where I have the reference entries grouped by letter and there might be 150 or 200 separate entries under 20 or more groups. It can take a while for the map to populate all the navigation titles when I first open it, but if it was initially collapsed, it would populate the letter groups pretty fast. It would be really nice if this could be set as the default expansion for opening maps. I'm not sure if it would be practical to remember the expansion state of the map on save, probably not, but that would be handy too.
