request: resolve entity refs in err msgs
by Syd Bauman 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

[Apologies if this is a repeat -- I haven't done a good search of the archives, etc.] I often use "<" and ">" to indicate that a word is the name of an XML element type. I even do this in diagnostic and error messages. E.g.: <xsl:message>I found a <duck> element</xsl:message> In oXygen, the message that is output to the Messages tab has the less than and greater than escaped as entity references: [Saxon6.5.5] I found a <duck> element. Same is true for messages generated from Schematron validation. I realize that at one point in life those messages were in XML documents (e.g., SVRL), but I'd really like to *see* pointy brackets. Is there or could there be an option to display these as characters instead of entity references? Thanks for listening.

how to pass parameters to the stylesheet in oXygen
by Manuel Souto Pico 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

Good morning! I need to pass some parameters to a stylesheet. I can do that on the command line, but it would be very handy to do in oXygen's XSLT debugger. Is it possible to do that? $ java -jar saxon9.jar lang=en,fr,pt file.xml stylesheet.xsl > output.xml My stylesheet contains the line <xsl:param name="lang" /> It would be also fine, for testing purposes, to include already in the stylesheet or the input xml file. Thanks a lot! Manuel

How to Recover from Attempt to Open Large XML File
by ekimber 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

I attempted to open a 20Meg file (an exported iTunes library). Even after setting the VM to 2014M, Oxygen effectively locks up trying to open the file. Since it's restoring its state on startup, there's no obvious way to break the cycle. How do I break the cycle?

XRef Selection Dialog Doesn't Offer Current Doc as an Option
by ekimber 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

When I create a DITA xref using the insert-xref button, the target chooser dialog does not offer the current document as one of the options in the file pulldown list. It should always offer the current doc as an option, even if it defaults to the last document selected.

Failing build with excluded topics

I'm not sure why this is occurring: I have a few topics excluded by a ditaval file, and now, when I build, it's causing a java.io.FileNotFoundException: [xslt] [DOTX031E][ERROR]: The file file:///C:/p4_perforce1666_WLORETI/redbird/ide/main/com.vocollect.voiceb uilder.help.dita/temp/../../voice-app-schema.xml is not available to resolve link information.

Re: [oXygen-user] scenario shows "access is denied" error; new scenario fixes it; why?
by Robert Nagle 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

I do not have any zipping application open while this is happening. In fact, I'm pretty sure no other application has these files open except for Oxygen (at least to my knowledge) except for the Firefox browser (and occasionally I have Windows Explorer open to the output directory). In my opinion, what is happening is definitely the result of Oxygen doing something weird on my machine. Now that I know how to deal with it, it doesn't bother/scare me. It just seems weird. rj Robert Nagle > > Message: 2 > Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2009 10:30:07 +0300 > From: Sorin Ristache <sorin(a)oxygenxml.com> > Subject: Re: [oXygen-user] scenario shows "access is denied" error; > new scenario fixes it; why? > To: oxygen-user(a)oxygenxml.com > Message-ID: <4A9392FF.4090607(a)oxygenxml.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > Oxygen does not lock the output files of the transformation. > > Maybe the zip application locks the files.

scenario shows "access is denied" error; new scenario fixes it; why?
by Robert Nagle 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

I'm not sure what I'm asking here, so bear with me. I don't think the problem is related to my xml project but Oxygen itself. I'm processing a docbook 5 file with xincludes, a customization layer, a title.xsl. I'm using 1.7.5.2 to use the epub output. I'm using oxygen to generate the html output which I will then manually zip into an epub file. I've created a custom transform scenario to use a custom xsl (which references the epub/docbook.xsl file and includes a few parameters). This probably is not relevant. I have to specify the location of a directory for the epub output using a parameter. The project validates, and most of the time everything works fine. But sometimes I get a cryptic error message "access is denied". I get this message even if I have made no changes to any of the source. Sometimes deleting the output files will "fix" the problem. A few days ago I discovered that creating a new scenario entirely from scratch for my scenario will fix the problem. That leads me to believe that there is something wrong with the .xpr file itself. Why does this sort of thing occur and how can I prevent it? Is the solution simply to create a brand new project and add your source to it again? I'm on Vista 64. Thanks.

scenario shows "access is denied" error; new scenario fixes it; why?
by Robert Nagle 24 Aug '09

I am sure that the application has write permissions for that directory. (Because as I said, most of the time, it is able to work just fine). Maybe there is a lock on a file by Oxygen or Windows Explorer. . What is > the full path that is obtained from the relative path from the error > message? I:\My Documents\xml\rj3\output\OEBPS it's in user space. Does the folder output/OEBPS exist or must be created by the > transformer? I am not 100% sure, but I think I created the OEBPS folder originally. Update: I just tested again without the OEBPS folder existing, and it created it again. If it exists what are the write permissions for that > folder? permissions for the OEBPS folder for Authenticated Users are modify/read/execute/list folder contents/read/write Does the current Windows user have write permission for that folder? As I said, I feel pretty sure that there is something about Oxygen that causes this to happen (because if I create the same transformation from scratch, I can usually get past the Access problem). I have stopped and restarted Oxygen when this state occurs. I have NOT found that starting the program will solve the problem. The only solution is creating a new but identical transformation. For example, I just now created a new project consisting of the same assets. the first time i ran the epub transform for docbook, things went fine. The second time (15 seconds later, without any changes!), I ran it again, with the same error message. It's an intermittent error and I can't find a situation that always reproduces it. But once it happens, the only way to resolve it is to create a new transformation. I created a new transform with the same exact stylesheet, and things worked fine. The only slightly weird thing about my project is that I'm having to re-generate a xsl file from a docbook template (outside of the project). But that shouldn't have an effect on what's happening. Another thing. When comparing the xpr files from the original project with the one I just created with the same files, I notice that the first xpr file contains a lot of info about transforms, whereas the second xpr does NOT contain any references to transforms. But the error message has occurred for both projects. I know this problem must have you scratching your heads.... One of my reasons for mentioning it here is to help any Oxygen user with the same problem.
