[Ann] Webinar: Creating Frameworks Using an Extension Script (April 21)
by Alin Belu 20 Apr '21

20 Apr '21

Hello, This is a reminder to let you know that the last live event of April is getting closer and closer, and we want you there! Join us this Wednesday (April 21) for the “Creating Frameworks Using an Extension Script” webinar! During this event, Alex Jitianu (DITA evangelist and development lead at Syncro Soft) will take an extensive look at a specific method where a framework can be created using a special XML descriptor file, either from scratch or by extending an existing built-in framework (such as DITA or DocBook) and then making modifications to it. To make this possible, Alex will be covering topics, such as: * The framework structure as a package that contains resources and configuration information to provide ready-to-use support for an XML vocabulary or document type. * What benefits this new approach brings when compared with creating a framework in GUI. * Exploring various use cases and implement them through the script. * How to extend existing built-in or custom frameworks. * What deployment options are available. This is a free event and you can register at http://www.oxygenxml.com/evs2021-9.html Make sure to check the full list of our upcoming events: https://www.oxygenxml.com/events_programme.html Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor

oXygen validation of datetime attribute in XHTML
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 17 Apr '21

17 Apr '21

Greetings, oXygen list, One of my students (copied here) has discovered an interesting discrepancy between the way oXygen and the w3c Validator respond to the datetime attribute in XHTML. In oXygen, with an XHTML 5 file, the encoding of the datetime attribute with simply a year <time datetime="2019">2019</time> raises an error. The error notification disappears if we use an ISO formatted year-month or year-month-day datatype (as in <time datetime="2019-04">2019</time> or <time datetime="2019-04-15">2019</time>). The xsd:gYear datatype isn't recognized as valid in oXygen's validation of XHTML, but we notice that it's not flagged as an error by the w3c markup Validation service for an XHTML document. When we change the context from XHTML 5 to HTML in oXygen, the use of a year only in the @datetime attribute is valid and all is well. My student and I would like to know if there's a reason for the year being insufficient for @datetime in XHTML validation in oXygen, or if this is something perhaps to be corrected in oXygen's validation? Thanks!

Save via WebDAV
by Gary Kopp 14 Apr '21

14 Apr '21

I must be missing something . this is too complicated. I'm using oXygen with eXist-db. All I want to do is save the results of an XQuery query to the eXist database as a new document in a direct a way as possible. Saving the results from the results window only seems to support the local filesystem. I can jump through a few hoops and get the results transferred to an editing window where I can "Save to URI" and ultimately get it sent out via WebDAV, but the dialogs for that are ridiculously convoluted IMO. Am I missing a more direct way? --Gary Kopp

[Ann] Webinar: Working with DITA in Oxygen - Customizing the Editing Experience (April 14)
by Alin Belu 09 Apr '21

09 Apr '21

Hello, Our weekly live event series continues next Wednesday (April 14) with the “Working with DITA in Oxygen - Customizing the Editing Experience” webinar! Under the guidance of Sorin Carbunaru (software developer at Syncro Soft), you will explore several ways of customizing the DITA editing experience according to your desires. This webinar will cover the customization of: * Author actions - edit existing actions, remove actions or add new ones. Add actions to the main toolbar, the contextual menu, or the content completion window. * The Author-mode rendering - tailor the visuals of the editing experience using CSS and add in-place actions directly in the Author page. * Document validation - create new validation rules and provide quick fixes using Schematron. * The content-completion assistant - automatically insert or reject elements, attributes, and values. * New document templates - add prefixes or suffixes to the names of your new documents, customize the template icons, mark templates as popular. This is a free event and you can register at http://www.oxygenxml.com/evs2021-6.html Make sure to check the full list of our upcoming events: https://www.oxygenxml.com/events_programme.html Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor

Multiple Transformation Scenarios?
by Gary Kopp 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

It looks like I need two transformation scenarios in one execution, and I'm not sure that's possible, or if there is another way to accomplish what I need. I want to execute an XProc script containing a p:xquery step. In the XQuery step the context will be whatever document I pass as the XProc source node, which is fine. But within the p:xquery step I also want to access (in let statements) documents accessed from the eXist-db datasource defined in oXygen. Such eXist datasource access normally requires an oXygen transformation scenario of its own. Can I do this? --Gary Kopp

Docbook to pdf customization
by Luxsci 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

I know this is a beginner question, but I am not sure what file I should modify to alter the transformation of docbook to pdf. I would like to change the font outputted by the pdf and also fix the numbering issue where there is no space between the number and the text (see attachment). Where would I go to customize the docbook to pdf transform? I have tried copying the Docbook-pdf transform and editing the transform to change the parameter from Times New Roman to two different open type fonts. One transforms as the bold version, even though I have regular, italic, and bold installed. The other transforms as italic, even though I have the regular, italic, and bold installed. The numbering option is unclear to me. For the font, here is what I tried and how it transformed:

Followup (strange rendering of some Tamil vowels when in TextMode in oXygen
by Jean-Luc Chevillard 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

Followup to my previous message (included below) It occurs to me that my question might be clarified if I posted a direct comparison between the what is seen on (my) Window screen when oXygen is in text mode and what is seen on the screen of that friend who runs oxygen on a Mac. What baffles me is the difference of treatment between the "M" element (line 13), where TamilRendering is fine, & the "l" element (line 15 to 18), where proper rendering fails. An extract of the file itself is as follows.
