Is it possible, when doing a DITA OT transform, to specify ant parameters?
by Steven Anderson 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

I like to use ant's XmlLogger as a logger for my ant builds. I think that's the last piece keeping me from really utilizing the DITA OT transforms from within oXygen, now that I can specify my own ant home. I still don't see any way to specify ant parameters as part of the scenario, though, only JVM args. What I'd like to see is a text box, just like the one for JVM args, for ant params, so I could add "-logger org.apache.tools.ant.XmlLogger -logfile buildlog.xml" to my ant command. Is there a way to do that already and I'm missing it? Steve ps - I don't post often, but I use oXygen every day. It is, really, one of the best tools I have ever used. The rate that you add new features and functionality is astounding, and, often, it seems like you are reading my mind. When I run into a problem and I think, "I wish oXygen could do this ...." it often already does, or the feature gets added in the next point release. If y'all have a blog where I can donate to a "Buy the developers a beer" tip jar, send it on to me, I owe you.

Why does Oxygen 10 lock up when I add a schemaLocation to an XSD [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
by John.Hockaday＠ga.gov.au 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

Hi, I am creating an XSD which looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xs:schema targetNamespace="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd" elementFormDefault="qualified" version="0.1" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:gmd="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd">  <xs:annotation> <xs:documentation> This file was generated from ISO TC/211 UML class diagrams == 01-26-2005 12:40:04 ====== </xs:documentation> </xs:annotation>  <xs:import nameSpace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd"/> <xs:import namespace=" http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" schemaLocation="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/xlink/xlinks.xsd"/> <xs:include schemaLocation="../gmd/metadataApplication.xsd" />    </xs:schema> As I create this XSD everything is fine until I add the schemaLocation hint of "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd". Oxygen then locks up. I have to use Windows task manager to delete the application. What is wrong with identifying the XSD schema for a schemaLocation hint in a import statement? Thanks. John

docbook 5 + entities + doctype +xincludes?
by Robert Nagle 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

First, thank you very much for your helpful reply over the last few days. It has really helped me. I'm trying to figure out how to insert character entities in docbook 5. Reading the docbook 5 documentation , I learned that you still need to indicate a doctype to validate: http://www.docbook.org/docs/howto/#faq-authoring-general-entities After I added the example entity set, <!DOCTYPE article [ <!ENTITY % isopub SYSTEM "http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/iso8879/isopub.ent"> %isopub; ]> things worked a-ok in oxygen. Here's my question. My oxygen editor validated successfully only if I have a doctype declaration at the top of every xml document referenced by the xincludes in addition to the main document. That doesn't make sense. That means I need to have 10 (or 100 or 200) instances of boilerplate code at the top of the doc. If I put the doctype element only once in the main index file (the file with the references to the xincludes), shouldn't the validator be aware of the entity file after it was declared at the top of the main index file? Or is this something quirky about the validation engine which is requiring each file to have a doctype element? Finally, I'm not sure I understand the syntax of the doctype element. (need to do some research). This reference goes to a public document, not to something local which I can maintain. If I added this to the catalog under the framework/docbook5 directory, <system systemId="http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/iso8879/isopub.ent" uri="isopub.ent"/> would this be sufficient? This would mainly be a concern if I wanted to add to my list of entities over time (or reference different entity sets). How would this be done?

xml:id + docbook5 validation problems
by Robert Nagle 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

I've noticed some inconsistencies in the way Oxygen validates a chapter element in an xinclude file when you add xml:id= I have . I'm trying to add xml:id to chapters so I can change the output html with the use.id.as.filename parameter. I'm using xincludes with each separate xinclude file containing a chapter. I'm getting a weird error message when validating in Oxygen. SystemID: I:\My Documents\xml\rj3\er1.xml Engine name: oNVDL Severity: error Description: bad value for attribute "id" from namespace "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" Start location: 2:80 ******************************* here is what I have in the er1.xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <chapter xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0" xml:id="99er1"> <title xml:id="firstdd">Notion #1</title> <para xml:id="blah">ddddd</para> <para>Designed by Gustave Eiffel in 1889,<parameter ></parameter> The Eiffel Tower is one of the most widely recognized buildings in the world. </para> </chapter> Ok, now for the freaky part. If I remove xml:id attribute, rename the chapter element to sect1 and insert xml:id again, it validates just fine. I've tried it several times and can duplicate it each time on my machine. I've tried the Reset Cache and Validate option each time. Any idea if this is an Oxygen/validator bug or if there is something peculiar to xinclude syntax which I am overlooking? Any reason why this corrects the problem? By the way, sometimes it can be difficult to tell whether a problem is an application-specific problem or a docbook/xsl problem. Thanks.

importing a custom docbook epub stylesheet
by Robert Nagle 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Hi, I noticed there is a good web demo of how to customize a docbook stylesheet. http://www.oxygenxml.com/demo/DocbookCustomization/docbookCustomization.html Basically you create a customization layer which imports the standard docbook stylesheet. Then you edit that customization layer. I noticed something strange. Oxygen validates the imported stylesheet when XSLT version is 1.0, but if you change it to 2.0, I get 19 errors. ********************** this is fine <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/docbook.xsl"/> </xsl:stylesheet> ****************** this produces saxon errors <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" exclude-result-prefixes="xs" version="2.0"> <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/docbook.xsl"/> </xsl:stylesheet> *********************************** here's a screenshot of the error messages http://www.flickr.com/photos/rjnagle/3664940578/ What it looks like is going on is that Oxygen is recognizing that the XSL being imported is from docbook and therefore it uses a local copy of the file. And it's seeing a mismatch between the latest version online with the local xsl it is references. So I changed it to this and got a smaller number of errors: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" exclude-result-prefixes="xs" version="2.0"> <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/1.75.1/epub/docbook.xsl"/> </xsl:stylesheet> -- SystemID: I:\My Documents\xml\rj2\test99ertest\2rjcustom.xsl Engine name: Saxon-B 9.1.0.6 Severity: error Description: Failed to compile stylesheet. 1 error detected. SystemID: http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/1.75.1/epub/docbook.xsl Engine name: Saxon-B 9.1.0.6 Severity: fatal Description: The priority attribute must be absent if the match attribute is absent Start location: 1308:30 URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#err-XTSE0500 SystemID: http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/1.75.1/common/stripns.xsl Engine name: Saxon-B 9.1.0.6 Severity: warning Description: The attribute axis starting at a document node will never select anything Start location: 282:0 I have some meta questions with regard to the general process of debugging here. 1. I assume that xslt v2 is better because it's a bigger number (and I've glanced over the differences in syntax, etc). Can you think of a reason why something would fail when version 2 is specified which would not be the case if version 1 is specified? Is best practice just to play it safe and go with version 1, or should I generally use 2 unless otherwise specified? 2. I'm guessing that it's easier to debug a local copy of a xsl file than a remote one (in this case version 1.7.5.1 of the epub-xsl transform. which is different from the local version (which is 1.7.4 that came with 10.2). Is there a way that Oxygen knows to associate the URL in the xsl import command with a local file or files on my Windows machine? I don't know how to do this. 3. (Now for my really naive question). What's the best way to debug XSLT messages. Should I start at the source xsl of the file(s) being imported here. Or should I be looking up references in Saxon parser or using some Oxygen debugging view. I realize that the answer is probably "it depends", but where does one start first? Thanks.

(Windows) opening up a file in different instances?
by Robert Nagle 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

In Windows vista 64 , when I right click an xml/xsl file, a new and separate instance of Oxygen will open up. Is there any easy way to instruct Oxygen to open the file in the previously opened Oyxgen instance rather than to open up a new instance each time? -- Robert Nagle 12777 Ashford Point Dr #1417 Houston, Texas 77082 713 893 3424 htpt://www.robertnagle.info

Problem with Idiom FO transform
by Loreti, Wendy 26 Jun '09

26 Jun '09

Hello, I'm new here. I have a question: When I use the DITA OT transformation, the pdf is successfully created, but when I try to use the Idiom FO transformation, it chugs along, then stops and hangs with this in the log: 1071 ERROR [ main ] org.apache.fop.datatypes.LengthBase - getBaseLength called without context Does anyone know what that's about? Also, will this Idiom transformation create an index? The DITA one won't. Wendy Loreti Senior Technical Writer Vocollect, Inc. 703 Rodi Rd.
