cant run spell check on my raspberry
by Lou Burnard 31 Aug '21

31 Aug '21

I have been having fun running oXygen (v 23.1) on my little Raspberry 400. It takes a while to load from the USB stick, but runs smoothly (despite dire warnings at startup). However, I have hit a problem trying to use the spell checker, since you (obviously) don't ship a Raspbian binary of hunspell. The popup says "Error: could not load Hunspell. The error message was: Unknown OS/arch: linux/arm" Now, back in 2012, when someone reported the exact same problem here (but with reference to Solaris), they were advised to set the "spell checking engine" to "Java spell checker", which looked promising. However, that option is no longer available so far as I can tell, certainly not where Adrian said it was! Any suggestions?

Why can't Oxygen format and indent a 200MB file in 30 minutes whereas SAXON can do it in 15 seconds?
by Roger L Costello 19 Aug '21

19 Aug '21

Hi Folks, I have (by today's standards) a medium sized XML file that is 200MB in size. It is unformatted (no indentation). I opened the file in Oxygen and clicked on the format and indent button. After 30 minutes of processing Oxygen gave up with an error message. So I wrote a simple 1-line XSLT program (below) to do the indentation, it took about 15 seconds and was done. Why is it that Oxygen can't indent the file in 30 minutes whereas an XSLT processor (Saxon) can do it in 15 seconds? /Roger <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:output method="xml" indent="yes" /> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:copy-of select="/" /> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>

xref to fig displays ID in responsive webhelp output
by Yves Barbion 16 Aug '21

16 Aug '21

Hi group I've got this topic: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Topic//EN" "topic.dtd"> <topic id="test"> <title>test</title> <body> <p>See <xref href="#test/fig_nmn_q1s_mqb" format="dita"></xref></p> <fig id="fig_nmn_q1s_mqb"> <title></title> </fig> </body> </topic> When I generate HTML5 output (using OxygenXML Editor version 23.1), all is well: I see "See Figure 1". When I generate the default responsive output, however, I see the ID of the fig displayed, so "See #test/fig_nmn_q1s_mqb". Any idea how this can be fixed? Thanks Yves

'# <a name="en"></a>' in Markdown editor
by Tony Graham 05 Aug '21

05 Aug '21

Please open: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AntennaHouse/focheck/master/README.md The '<a name="en"></a>' causes Oxygen 23.1 to preview the following text as if it's all <h1>, and the following titles get even bigger. I don't observe this happening in Oxygen Author 18.1. Is there a Markdown workaround that still does the right thing on GitHub?

Unresloved index-key value error
by Henry Gorbsky 08 Jul '21

08 Jul '21

Hello, We are receiving an error when transforming a set of dita files into a PDF. The error message is very obscure, in that it is very difficult to pinpoint the source of the error. Here is the message: [ahf] Unresolved index-key value: "indexid-1393266570". As far as I know, there is no way to locate the indexid in a dita file/ditamap. We initially suspected that it may have been due to an empty index tag, but we have not been able to find such culprit. We are stymied at this point - any help with debugging this message would be greatly appreciated! *regards* Hank D. Gorbsky
