Should Export DITA Map Rewrite Pointers?
by Eliot Kimber 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

I have a DITA map that is stored in the RSuite CMS, where all the URLs are RSuite REST URLs of the form: <map> ... <topicref href="/rsuite/rest/v2/content/binary/alias/sales-demo-forward-01.dita"/> </map> This URL will resolve relative to the RSuite server URL, meaning that if the URL is resolved relative to the URL of the map opened from an absolute RSuite REST URL that it will always work (RSuite does not provide URLs that are hierarchical like a file system because there is no single or necessary containment relationship among objects in RSuite). Because the URLs just work, I can, for example, open a DITA map using a URL like: http://localhost:8080/rsuite/rest/v2/content/element/alias/sample-pubmap-no- keys.ditamap And Oxygen is happy with it--I can perform all read-only operations against the map, including export DITA map. However, when I tried that, just to see what I would get, I noticed that the structure of the files as packaged reflected the relative paths from the map to the topics, e.g. "element/alias/sales-demo-forward-01.dita" for the map and "binary/alias/sales-demo-forward-01.dita" for the topics. However, the URLs in the result were not rewritten to reflect the directory structure, so the map as exported doesn't work because it still uses the absolute paths. Obviously this is a somewhat artificial case, but it does demonstrate that the map exporter is making an assumption about the data that is not warranted in this case, namely that URLs are relative. My question: - Should the map exporter handle this case and rewrite pointers to reflect the location of the targets in the export location? - Should the exporter detect the use of absolute resource parts and make the output structure reflect those paths? That is, should the exported structure have started with /rsuite rather than "sample-pubmap-no-keys"?

Behavior of Open/Find Resource Dialog
by Eliot Kimber 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

I'm finding the open/find resource dialog very handy, but I was surprised that opening it from a selected folder in a project does not limit its search to that folder, which is what I wanted. Is that a reasonable expectation? Also, is there the possibility of regular expression search against filenames? I didn't see an indication of that in the dialog or the online help.

Looking for a creative solution for an image report
by KAATMAN Matthew 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

I'd like to be able to get a list of images (paths + filenames) referenced from the topics within a map including those referenced from within SVGs. So far I've been doing fairly hackish things like using File/Replace in Files with a regular expression of \. And restrict to Xpath: //image[@href] using only attribute values. Then deduping the list and removing garbage but there's got to be a better way to get an accurate list quickly. Any thoughts?

Fwd: Expath exists() bug?
by Wendell Piez 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

oXygen users -- Yesterday I mistakenly sent a message meant for this list to oXygen-support instead. There, Alex Jitianu has been very helpful, but he also suggests I send it again here as well, in case readers have any good ideas -- Thanks! Wendell Wendell Piez | http://www.wendellpiez.com XML | XSLT | electronic publishing Eat Your Vegetables _____oo_________o_o___ooooo____ooooooo_^ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Wendell Piez <wapiez(a)wendellpiez.com> Date: Wed, Sep 11, 2013 at 6:19 PM Subject: Expath exists() bug? To: Oxygen XML Editor Support <support(a)oxygenxml.com> Hi, I know this isn't an oXygen question per se, but I'm sure you guys (and maybe other readers of this list) will have insight. (Especially if the problem is between my chair and my keyboard, where problems have been known to occur in the past.) Consider this stylesheet: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:expath="http://expath.org/ns/file" version="2.0"> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:text>Base URI is </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="base-uri(.)"/> <xsl:text>: </xsl:text> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="expath:exists(base-uri(.))">File found</xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise>File not found</xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Run on itself (using Saxon9 in oXygen 15), the stylesheet should generate its own path in the system, followed by "File found", when expath:exists() returns true for the base URI of the root of the source document, i.e. the stylesheet. However, when I locate this on my system in a subdirectory whose name contains a space, I get "file not found". The Expath spec at http://expath.org/spec/file#d3e112 covers this. Saxon's base-uri() correctly escapes a space with '%20', as the stylesheet reports. But expath:exists() in oXygen (or in Saxon as the case may be) fails to return true() for this URI. (If I replace(base-uri(.),'%20',' ') it finds the file. But I would rather not do this as it doesn't really solve the problem.) What am I doing wrong? If there's a problem I can't fix, is there a workaround you can suggest? I know that one obvious solution is never to use spaces in my subdirectory or file names -- as indeed I do not. Unfortunately, in this instance I cannot convince my client (or rather, my client's client) to renounce this vicious habit. Thanks!

Support for "Document Templating Steps for XProc", AKA p:document
by Florent Georges 03 Sep '13

03 Sep '13

Hi, XProc completion in oXygen is apparently about XProc 1.0 [1] with no support for Document Templating Steps [2]. Which is a pity considering that p:template is probably one of the most useful step in XProc. Any chance to get the schema updated in the next version? Kind regards, -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/ http://h2oconsulting.be/

Feature request: wildcards or regex in directory filter
by KAATMAN Matthew 26 Aug '13

26 Aug '13

I don't know how feasible this is, but a feature that I have never seen in any editor is the ability to use a wildcard or regex in the directory path filter for functions such as search/replace and open files. Imagine in the "Find/Replace in Files->Specified Path" if I could specify something like: C:\dita\*\products\testproduct\user Where my directory structure contained a list of country codes where the * would go. I've been writing scripts to accommodate these kind of actions. The same functionality would be useful for opening files also. I often want to open a map and all of the translations of that map across many directories. C:\dita\*\products\testproduct\user\testmap.ditamap I'm curious how difficult something like that would be.

Print/save report from Diff Directories?

Is there any way to print or save the output of a Diff Directories listing? I have a use case where it would be very helpful to do so, but I do not see any menu or contextual options with this function.

Git-aware XML Diff Support?
by Eliot Kimber 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

I've started using Git for version control wherever possible. Looking at the help, it looks like there is support for SVN version diffing, but nothing for Git. Have you considered providing at least Git-aware differencing, if not a full Git client analogous to the SVN client?

Publish DITA topic or HTML page to Wordpress blog
by Yves Barbion 16 Aug '13

16 Aug '13

Hi group Is there a way to write a blog post in oXygen XML Author and then publish that post on a Wordpress site, similar to what can be done in Word? http://wpmu.org/how-to-use-microsoft-word-to-publish-directly-to-your-wordp… It would be nice if this could be done with a generic DITA topic, but a simple HTML page would be OK too.

Feature request: Search character map by name
by KAATMAN Matthew 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

Would it be possible to add a by "name" option for the character search? Maybe something like this: http://i.imgur.com/VFNsA3P.png Where you could search for "En" and bring up "En Dash" for example.
