The paper size to be is Din A4 (210 x 297mm) but the doc has 215.9 x 279.4 mm.
by Bernhard Kleine 26 Oct '18

26 Oct '18

Hi, while transforming the indicated paper size is A4 but the document produced is (errorneously) something else. The paper-type in the parameters is also "a4". Something is fishy. Where is the error? Latest build XML Editor 20.1, build 2018101517.

Issues with generating IDs
by Jirka Kosek 24 Oct '18

24 Oct '18

Hi, I'm trying to customize rules for generating IDs for custom framework that is inherited from default DocBook framework. I have followed instructions at: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/20.1/ug-editor/topics/generate-ids.h… But it seems that settings stored in ${framework}/resources/idGenerationDefaultOptions.xml are being ignored. It seems that settings for "master" framework (DocBook in this case) are still being used instead. Have I missed something?

Annoying IDref error since the xml:id exists in another include.
by Bernhard Kleine 23 Oct '18

23 Oct '18

I have an masterfile and several include. While validating the masterfile works withour error and the crossreferencing is successful, I have an annoying error indicator "IDREF "MArubi" without matching ID". This xml:id is in a different include from the one where it is called. As the masterfile is enabled, I started wondering why this crossref is not found even when validating the include separately. Obviously a but in oxygen Version 20.1 for I cannot recall such an error with older versions. I can provide examples if the error is not yet reported.

ro.sync.ecss.extensions.docbook.table.InsertTableOperation in Web Author
by Jirka Kosek 23 Oct '18

23 Oct '18

Hi, I'm creating DocBook customization for work in Web Author. Customized schema allows only informatables in HTML syntax. I have modified original insert.table action from DocBook framework in the following way: Activation XPath: oxy:allows-child-element("*:informaltable") Default table model: html This works fine in standalone Author, but user has to untick "Title" in order to insert informaltable instead of table with title. However when I deploy the same framework to Web Author insert.table action is not doing anything. If I try to invoke it in the wrong location I'm getting proper warning "The action ... is not available in the current location". But when I position caret to proper location and press table button nothing happens. Are there any Web Author limitations for ro.sync.ecss.extensions.docbook.table.InsertTableOperation operation that are causing this behaviour? Before I customized activation XPath and default table model button was invoking table creation dialog. But now nothing happens. Also it would be nice if ro.sync.ecss.extensions.docbook.table.InsertTableOperation would have more parameters that would allow customization of table insert dialog, e.g. - checking/unchecking title - disabling some table models (CALS, HTML) - disabling title - providing default row/column count - providing default frame options Many thanks in advance, Jirka -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jirka Kosek e-mail: jirka(a)kosek.cz http://xmlguru.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------ Professional XML and Web consulting and training services DocBook/DITA customization, custom XSLT/XSL-FO document processing ------------------------------------------------------------------ Bringing you XML Prague conference http://xmlprague.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------

Dragging PDF images into a DITA topic: use image element instead of xref?
by Yves Barbion 22 Oct '18

22 Oct '18

Hi group I have my images (vector graphics) in PDF format. When I select an image in Windows Explorer and drag it into a DITA topic, I see that an xref to this pdf file is created, as shown in the example below: <xref href="Graphics/ce.pdf" format="pdf"/> Instead, I want to have an image element like this: <image href="Graphics/ce.pdf" id="image_b3d_gwd_nfb"/> This is oXygen's behaviour when I drag other graphic file formats (for example EPS, JPG, PNG) into my editor. Is there also a way to do this with images in PDF format? Thanks Yves

I have some tables. While validation works for one with a similar construct, the other table appears faulty This works: <simplesect> <title/> <table> <title>Rote Liste</title> <tgroup cols="4" align="center"> ... and this does not work: <para>Mit den eigentlichen Bläulingen (Bl) wird die Sache schwieriger. <table frame="void"> <title>Bläuling noch nicht fotografiert</title> <?dbfo keep-together="always" ?> <tgroup cols="4" align="left"> <colspec colname="c1" colnum="1" colwidth="109.2pt"/> ... can you please explain. I have this error regularily that a table should have a caption and not a title.

Version of Saxon used for Schematron validation in Web Author
by Jirka Kosek 17 Oct '18

17 Oct '18

Hi, I'm trying to use Schematron for additional validation in Web Author. My Schematron uses functions supported only in Saxon-PE/EE, namely file:exists(). This works in a standalone Author, but in a Web Author I'm getting the following error message: Errors were reported during stylesheet compilation Cannot find a 1-argument function named {http://expath.org/ns/file}exists() This suggests that Web Author is using Saxon-HE that is not supporting such extension functions. Could this be changed somewhere in Web Author configuration?

Keyboard shortcuts in Web Author
by Jirka Kosek 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

Hi, for desktop oXygen it's easy to create actions in framework and assign them to keyboard shortcuts. Is this possible for Web Author as well? I've read documentation but I haven't noticed such possibility.
