New XSLT outline comments
by Florent Georges 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Hi, About the new outline for XSLT modules, there are two columns, one for the name of the component and one for the mode (if the component is a template rule and has a mode name.) The mode column takes a lot of place, even for a module within which you only have functions! Two ideas to improve its readability: 1/ have the mode column only for template rows (I am not sure that "conditional columns" depending on the row are neither possible or usable) or, even better, 2/ group all template rules in the same mode into their own node: + variables - var1 - var2 + functions - fun1 - fun2 + templates - template-name - match-pattern + templates (mode: my-more) - match-pattern - other-one I think that has the double advantage of having the layout more clear and also the grouping of template rules itself (as usually a mode groups logically related rules.) Two other notes: 1/ the group names in the outline are singular while I think they should be plural (variable vs. variables) and 2/ template rules with a name are rendered as "name match-pattern". I agree that having a single "group of words" for both is more clear because more concise, but we should have a way to distinguish both (for instance a slightly different color, or one in italic...) Hope that helps, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/

Filtering in Outline view
by Christian Kosmowski 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

On the feature List i found the following Point: You can easily focus on a subset of components using the new Outline view filtering feature. Just type a text fragment in the filter box and only the components matching that will be presented. For advanced usage you can use wildcards (*, ?) and separate multiple patterns with commas. This is a feature i requested and i'm very happy to hear, that its implemented but somehow i can't find the filter box. Thanks!

Track Changes Functionality - 10.2 beta
by Dylan Dawson 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hi there, I am currently developing a plug-in for oXygen , and 'track changes' is one of our major priorities. With the release of oXygen 10.1, I thought now would be a good time to ask if there is any support for tracking changes in oXygen 10.2 beta. Since 10.2 will likely be released AFTER we release our plug-in, we are looking at implementing this ourselves. To that end, I was also wondering if it is possible to bind to and handle events for individual keystrokes instead of CTRL commands. Your release notes for 10.1 say (from the website): "[API] Author extensions can receive document change notifications The API for developing Author extensions provides support to receive notifications when the XML document is changed." Does this mean that there is now a way to handle events as the document is being edited? This would greatly affect our implementation of track changes. Of course, if you already DO have track changes in 10.2 beta, I would be interested to get a test build as soon as possible.

Referencing external files in relationship table topicrefs
by Gabrielle Burns 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

I recently created a topicref in a relationship table to an external file. During trial and error in compiling, I learned that the externally referenced file had to be in the "out" folder to be compiled. If this is the only method, I will need to copy hundreds of external files to a subfolder in the "out" folder. Is there an alternative way to reference external files other than this approach? My original assumption was that an external file could be located outside the "out" folder, and that the topicrefs would include the path to a different location, using "../" at the beginning of the path. I have not found information in Help about this issue. Thank you.

RelaxNG Inclusion
by Christian Kosmowski 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Hi, I'm trying to start a RelaxNG Schema and in some tutorials i found that i can make RelaxNG Grammars without a start Element. Oxygen always complains about such files and makes it impossible to use such files. That can be very usefull because i want to have one file with a start element including many other files without a start element but with defines in it. any suggestions?

feature request: use ant properties file for transformation scenarios
by Stefan Krause 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I wrote an ant build which transforms xml files via xslt. The input is driven by a database, which writes a property file and triggers ant. While debugging my stylesheets, I have to open the property file and copy the params manually to the transformation scenario params. I was wondering if you could implement a feature which reads a given property file and populates the params in the scenario? Ant file: <project name="test" default="test" basedir="."> <property name="param1" value="value1"/> ... Stylesheet: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0"> <xsl:param name="param1">value1</xsl:param> ...

Hello All i am trying to separate one of our docbook projects into smaller xml files using the following structure manual.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?oxygen RNGSchema="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/5.0/rng/docbookxi.rng " type="xml"?> <book xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude " xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="5.0"> <xi:include href="parts/info.xml" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"> </xi:include> <xi:include href="parts/part1.xml" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"> </xi:include> ........ </book> info.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <info xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0"> ....... </info> which results in the following error "E [oNVDL] element "info" from namespace "http://docbook.org/ns/ docbook" not allowed in this context" While including the info block straight in the manual.xml (copy & paste) there is no such error. Nor is this error triggered by any of the other xi:included files. could some one please point me in the right direction to x::include the info.xml file? with regards Bram

Empty Schema Element
by Christian Kosmowski 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

Hi, I have a question about Oxygen and XSD Schemas. I need to have an Element which has to be empty. No attributes and no child elements. I already tried a normal complexType without content and the following simpleType: <xs:simpleType name="Empty"> <xs:annotation> <xs:documentation> Elemts of the type »Empty« must have no content. </xs:documentation> </xs:annotation> <xs:restriction base="xs:string"> <xs:enumeration value=""/> </xs:restriction> </xs:simpleType> But in both cases i can type whatever i want to into Elements with the Type Empty. And when i am editing in such an element oxygen gives me a list of all Elements in the whole Schema. Does anyone know how to get this working? Thanks Christian -- QuinScape GmbH http://www.QuinScape.de http://www.docscape.de
