Hi, I'm a very satisfied oXygen user (primarily working in XHTML and CSS), but I'd be happier still if it had the following simple enhancements: (I'm using oXygen 9.1 build 2007122116 on OS X Tiger) 1. Remember last Ctrl-E (wrap tags) value -- currently always defaults to 'a' 2. Improve Ctrl-E (wrap tags) to allow .class and #id attribute specification (e.g. I could Ctrl-E span.active and get <span class="active"></span> 3. Major annoyance (and arguably a bug): Don't clear clipboard when copying nothing (hitting Ctrl-C or X with nothing selected.) 4. Need shortcuts to make it easier to select attribute/value pairs and single tags (so that you don't have to drag-select around <tag> or attribute="value") Triple-click is already taken, so maybe Ctrl-click or something. 5. Cursor movement up/down: always remember x position from line to line, even after pasting. This is a little harder to explain. Basically, I'd like oXygen to behave like Textpad. Imagine you have a number of lines and you want to paste "<li>" in front of each. If I position the cursor in the right place for the first line, paste, then press down, I expect to be in the right place for the next line. But in oXygen, I'll be 4 characters to the right (from the end of the <li>) Bug fixes: 6. The "Delete Tag" keyboard shortcut on Mac (Cmd-Opt-X) doesn't work 7. The CSS validator doesn't recognise unitless line-height I'd appreciate it if you could consider these for a minor upgrade!

Caching doc() calls
by Andrew Welch 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

It seems oXygen caches the XML from calls to doc() between runs? If you run a transform with doc('foo.xml') and then delete foo.xml, you can still run the transform! The doc() call works without causing an error... It's just taken me a while to figure out why a transform run from inside oXygen produced different result from the same transform run outside of oXygen - it was because a referenced doc() had been updated while oXygen was open and oXygen wasn't fetching it each time. Shouldn't oXygen's caching resolvers (if that's where the problem lies) only cache per transform run? -- Andrew Welch http://andrewjwelch.com Kernow: http://kernowforsaxon.sf.net/

Hi, Or that insert element window could allow a little XPath: phrase[@condition] gets <phrase condition="">...</phrase> phrase[@condition='active'] gets <phrase condition="active">...</phrase> (Just brainstorming here) Cheers, Wendell At 01:55 PM 3/26/2008, Barton wrote: >It might be more useful for oXygen's Ctrl-E to accept any tag >appended with a dot as an attribute name for the selected element. >Thus, to take a DocBook example, if I select phrase in the Ctrl-E >dialog and then type an extra .condition (the dialog now reads >phrase.condition), oXygen could know to translate this as <phrase >condition="">selected text</phrase>.

[xsl] Transformation from XSL1 to XSL2 error
by Dam's 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

Hi, I need to transform some XSL1 stylesheets to XSL 2 to use them with Saxon 8.7.3. I changed the version in the declaration and some little other things, but, obviously, it's not enough... I have an error which's making me crazy... > An attribute node (color) cannot be created after the children of the > containing element > The transformation failed due to an XML parsing or transformation error. > It seems to be about this part of my XSLs : > <xsl:template name="process.change"> > <xsl:param name="CHG"></xsl:param> > <xsl:if test="$CHG='ADD'"> > *<xsl:attribute name="color">red</xsl:attribute> (Especially this line!)* > </xsl:if> > <xsl:if test="$CHG='MOD'"> > <xsl:attribute name="color">orange</xsl:attribute> > </xsl:if> > </xsl:template> I don't understand what's the problem with color attribute node... I searched again and again with google... Some users have the same error but I don't understand how to resolve it in my case. Someone could help me, please? Thanks!!! Damien G.

Regular Expression That Matches Across Newlines?
by Eliot Kimber 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Is the following possible using a regex search and replace? I have data that looks like this: 1. Some text? blah blah 2. Some more text second line? blah blah What I want to do is match on everything from the start of lines starting with "[0-9]+\." through the "?", Capturing the text between the initial "." and the "?". Is this possible with Oxygen? I can't figure it out.

When will oNVDL handle ISO Schematron, XSLT 2.0 and XPATH 2.0 [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the right list to ask about oNVDL but I couldn't find another one. When will oNVDL be able to handle (via Saxon 9) ISO Schematron, XSLT 2.0 and XPATH 2.0? Thanks. John

Can't increase stack size.
by Gavin Kistner 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Oxygen is overflowing the stack trying to validate one of my XML files against its schema. However, if I modify this file: C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor 9\oxygen.vmoptions from this: -Xmx700m to this: -Xmx700m -Xss1024k Oxygen fails to start. I select it from the Start Menu and get this message: Error The JVM could not be started. The main method may have thrown an exception. If I delete the Xss option again it works. I've tried values of 512k, 512 and 1024k. This is on XP SP2 with Oxygen build 2007121417 Should the options be on multiple lines? Any help on how I can increase the stack size? FWIW, the failure seems to be on this attribute: <xs:attribute name="values"> <xs:simpleType><xs:restriction base="xs:string"> <xs:pattern value="(-?(\d+|\d*\.\d+)(,-?(\d+|\d*\.\d+))?;)*-?(\d+|\d*\.\d+)(,-?(\d+|\d*\.\d+))?"></xs:pattern> </xs:restriction></xs:simpleType> </xs:attribute> with this value: values="0.109,0.109;0.114,0.114;0.129,0.129;0.154,0.154;0.187,0.187;0.226,0.226;0.271,0.271;0.319,0.319;0.368,0.368;0.416,0.416;0.461,0.461;0.500,0.500;0.533,0.533;0.558,0.558;0.573,0.573;0.578,0.578;0.573,0.573;0.558,0.558;0.533,0.533;0.500,0.500;0.461,0.461;0.416,0.416;0.368,0.368;0.319,0.319;0.271,0.271;0.226,0.226;0.187,0.187;0.154,0.154;0.129,0.129;0.114,0.114;0.109,0.109;0.114,0.114;0.129,0.129;0.154,0.154;0.187,0.187;0.226,0.226;0.271,0.271;0.319,0.319;0.368,0.368;0.416,0.416;0.461,0.461;0.500,0.500;0.533,0.533;0.558,0.558;0.573,0.573;0.578,0.578;0.573,0.573;0.558,0.558;0.533,0.533;0.500,0.500;0.461,0.461;0.416,0.416;0.368,0.368;0.319,0.319;0.271,0.271;0.226,0.226;0.187,0.187;0.154,0.154;0.129,0.129;0.114,0.114;0.109,0.109;0.114,0.114;0.129,0.129;0.154,0.154;0.187,0.187;0.226,0.226;0.271,0.271;0.319,0.319;0.368,0.368;0.416,0.416;0.461,0.461;0.500,0.500;0.533,0.533;0.558,0.558;0.573,0.573;0.578,0.578;0.573,0.573;0.558,0.558;0.533,0.533;0.500,0.500;0.461,0.461;0.416,0.416;0.368,0.368;0.319,0.319;0.271,0.271;0.226,0.226;0.187,0.187;0.154,0.154;0.129,0.129;0.114,0.114;0.109,0.109;0.114,0.114;0.129,0.129;0.154,0.154;0.187,0.187;0.226,0.226;0.271,0.271;0.319,0.319;0.368,0.368;0.416,0.416;0.461,0.461;0.500,0.500;0.533,0.533;0.558,0.558;0.573,0.573;0.578,0.578;0.573,0.573;0.558,0.558;0.533,0.533;0.500,0.500;0.461,0.461;0.416,0.416;0.368,0.368;0.319,0.319;0.271,0.271;0.226,0.226;0.187,0.187;0.154,0.154;0.129,0.129;0.114,0.114;0.109,0.109;0.114,0.114;0.129,0.129;0.154,0.154;0.187,0.187;0.226,0.226;0.271,0.271;0.319,0.319;0.368,0.368;0.416,0.416;0.461,0.461;0.500,0.500;0.533,0.533;0.558,0.558;0.573,0.573;0.578,0.578;0.573,0.573;0.558,0.558;0.533,0.533;0.500,0.500;0.461,0.461;0.416,0.416;0.368,0.368;0.319,0.319;0.271,0.271;0.226,0.226;0.187,0.187;0.154,0.154;0.129,0.129;0.114,0.114;0.109,0.109" Is there any way to turn off backtracking for the regexp, which presumably would help here?

Confusing Message When Schema Cannot Be Found
by Eliot Kimber 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

In testing my catalog's ability to resolve this document's schema: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <test xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:foo:/schemas/test.xsd" ></test> When the catalog was not correctly configured Oxygen 9.1 reported "There is no schema or DTD associated with the document". But what it really needed to say is "cannot find schema at schema location "urn:foo:/schemas/test.xsd". I thought it was complaining about the form of my schema attributes.

Anybody have any experience using / integrating Oxygen with a native XML database like Exist, Sedna or Xindice? How about with an XML content management system?
