Detach a tab?
by Tom Johnson 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

How do you detach a tab? It seems like I'm inadvertently detaching tabs all the time when I don't want to. But I can't quite figure out exactly what I'm doing to detach the tab. I actually want to disable tab detaching. Sent from my iPhone

[ann] oXygen XML Editor 16.1
by George Bina 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

Hi everyone! We are happy to announce a new release of oXygen XML Editor, version 16.1! The full details of the new version can be read from http://oxygenxml.com/whatisnew16.1.html and you can download it from http://oxygenxml.com/download.html In this release we made incremental improvements in many areas. The Quick fixes support introduced in version 16.0 was extended to be available also from the Author page and new quick fixes were extracted for fixing XML validation errors when you validate against an XML Schema with Xerces. Next we will look into extending this to cover also Relax NG and DTDs as well as implementing Schematron based fixes where the fixes are provided by the schema author as possible solutions to the identified problems. HTML tooltips were already available for content completion proposals in some cases but schema annotations were still presented as text. Now, we identify if an element, attribute or value annotation contains XHTML fragments and in that case we present it rendered as HTML when that component is selected in the content completion window - this allows a nicer display and provides support for links, so you can immediately point the user to an external resource that provides more details about the current selected proposal from the content completion window. You can see this in action in the XSLT editor, as we updated all those annotations to use XHTML. The XPath execution was extended in version 16 to a specified scope like the project, the selected files, etc. In version 16.1 we extended this support to include also the current archive, the XPath being executed on all the files of an EPUB, OOXML, ODF or a ZIP archive and there is also an option to treat ZIP-based archives as folders, if such an archive is included in a scope you apply an XPath expression on. The track changes functionality covers in not only text content but also structure and attributes. The surround operation was a difficult one, because you either do not track that or you mark all the content as deleted and then inserted together with the new element that surrounds it. In 16.1 we introduced support for understanding a wrap operation and tracking only the element that wrapped the content. We worked on color profiles but now all that work was ready for 16.1 but we still managed to get support for high contract themes on Windows. More, the Author visual mode will create application specific media rules to allow you to specify styles that will apply on white or black background and we updated DITA and DocBook to react to these so that the Author mode also adjusts the colors when a high contract theme is applied on the editor. Saxon 9.6 was just released and so was a new version of Calabash but it was not possible to integrated them overnight, so we include the previous stable versions of both of them. However, work already started to integrate Saxon 9 and we can provide early access to this as soon as it is ready in case someone is interested. I think I can go on like this for another hour :). Please see the release notes linked above for all the details and do not hesitate to contact us if you want more details about any of them.

Trying to debug a "non-deterministic" DTD
by Frank Arensmeier 07 Oct '14

07 Oct '14

Hello! First time poster. I hope this question hasn’t been up for discussion before – I was not able to find anything helpful in the archives. I have a DTD that I need to debug. The ”problem" is that Oxygen validates the DTD just fine, whereas some XML editors (e.g. XMetal) complain about a ”non-deteministic” content model. So, my question is, does Oxygen (15.2) has some kind of ”strict mode” DTD validation? Because I do not have access to some XMetal-debug-fo, I must use Oxygen to debug my DTD. Any help is greatly appreciated! /frank [cid:D69E52E6-83EC-4495-AFAC-6219CE5641B4] Frank Arensmeier | Expertinfo | Teknikinformation, XML-system och språkkonsulttjänster | frank.arensmeier(a)expertinfo.se<mailto:frank.arensmeier@expertinfo.se> | Älvtomtagatan 14 703 42 Örebro | Mobile +46 70 233 90 39 Please consider the planet before printing this e-mail.

Oxygen Author Mode as a Word-Processor; Was RE: Easy insertion of en/em-dash
by Robert Leif 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

I agree that author mode should have word-processor like features. Unfortunately, it lacks one major feature. It does not have the equivalent of a styles menu for body, paragraphs and fonts. Although, the underlying CSS page can contain all of the styling information in any order, the standard mode for a word-processor like Microsoft Word and preferably Adobe FrameMaker is to have separate menus for pages, paragraphs, fonts, etc. Since CSS has these levels, a CSS page can be and is often organized by them. Thus, a pull-down tree should be organized by them and at each level permit the user to change the style except when the style is read-only. The mechanism of making these changes should include fill-in suggestions. The result is an ultra-powerful web page and EPUB creation system that is much more powerful and versatile than Microsoft Word or Adobe FrameMaker.

Easy insertion of en/em-dash
by Cwiklowski, Don 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

I use the standard keyboard shortcut of Alt+0151, but I'd love to see en-dashes and em-dashes added to the Entities tab. I also tried added them in the code templates, and while it does work, it gives them the appearance of being actual elements, rather than character entities.

topicref pointing to reference topic within a glossentry topic
by Khaled Aly 28 Sep '14

28 Sep '14

Hi I'm building a glossary using a bookmap with nested glossentry topicref elements, were transforming fine until I inserted a reference topicref within a glossentry one. The item appears inside its rendered parent topic but the rendered link cannot resolve to the corresponding page. Is there a problem in nesting a reference topicref within a glossentry in the map? The same error appears when transforming to different output formats. Thanks for any advice on this issue. Khaled ---------------------------------------------------------------- Khaled A.B.

Planning to drop support for Eclipse 3.4 and 3.5 in Oxygen 17.0
by Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu) 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

Hi everybody, The next Oxygen Eclipse plugin version (16.1) will probably be the last one to have support for Eclipse 3.4 and 3.5. We plan to drop support for Eclipse 3.4 and 3.5 next year when Oxygen 17.0 will get released. Does any of you still use Eclipse 3.4 or 3.5? And for what reason?
