[oXygen XML Editor Blog] - How Special Paste works in Oxygen
by oXygen XML Editor Blog 29 Oct '15

oXygen XML Editor Blog /////////////////////////////////////////// How Special Paste works in Oxygen Posted: 28 Oct 2015 04:48 AM PDT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AboutOxygenXmlEditor/~3/8aMRl4DpDek/how-spec… If you've worked with one of the XML vocabularies for which Oxygen has out of the box support like DITA, Docbook, TEI, XHTML you've probably already used the support Oxygen has for converting content pasted in the application from external applications like Microsoft Word, Excel or from any web browser. This is a very useful feature for converting various types of content to XML because it preserves and converts styling, links, lists, tables and image references. The feature relies on the fact that when copying content in the applications mentioned above, they set in the clipboard the HTML equivalent of the copied content. So all Oxygen has to do is clean up that HTML, make it wellformed XHTML and apply conversion XSLT stylesheets over it. This support is not hardcoded and anybody who is developing an Oxygen framework customization for a certain XML vocabulary can provide conversion stylesheets for external pasted HTML content. I will describe how this works for the DITA framework and you can do the same for yours. You can also use this information to modify the way in which smart paste works for the bundled framework configurations. In the Preferences->Document Type Association page you can choose to edit (or extend) the DITA document type association. In the Extensions tab the Extensions bundle implementation is set to DITAExtensionsBundle which resides in the DITA Java extensions archive dita.jar. The DITAExtensionsBundle is an extension of the ExtensionsBundle API and it provides its own external object extension handler: /** * @see ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.ExtensionsBundle#createExternalObjectInsertionHandler() */ @Override public AuthorExternalObjectInsertionHandler createExternalObjectInsertionHandler() { return new DITAExternalObjectInsertionHandler(); } The DITAExternalObjectInsertionHandler extends the base class AuthorExternalObjectInsertionHandler and provides a reference to its specific conversion stylesheet: /** * @see ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.AuthorExternalObjectInsertionHandler#getImporterStylesheetFileName(ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.AuthorAccess) */ @Override protected String getImporterStylesheetFileName(AuthorAccess authorAccess) { return "xhtml2ditaDriver.xsl"; }Note: The Extensions tab also allows you to specify the external object insertion handler as a separate extension. In the same Document Type edit dialog in the Classpath tab you will see that there is a reference to a framework-specific resources folder like:${framework}/resources/ If you look on disk in the DITA framework resources folder: "OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\resources" you will find the xhtml2ditaDriver.xsl stylesheet there. The stylesheet imports various other stylesheets which you could probably fully reuse and which apply various cleanups on HTML produced with MS Word. It also handles the conversion between the pasted HTML content and DITA so it is a good starting point, you can copy the entire set of XSLT stylesheets to your framework and use those as a starting point. -- You are subscribed to email updates from "oXygen XML Editor Blog."

Hello As far as I know, this is not possible, but just in case, if there is any possibility. I have a 5 column table where I need to make 3 columns conditional based on audience attribute. Is this possible? Since it might be a common challenge, what are the work-arounds that are used for tackle such scenarios. Thanx Surbhi

oXygen XML Editor Blog /////////////////////////////////////////// DITA-related improvements and goodies in Oxygen 17.1 Posted: 23 Oct 2015 06:26 AM PDT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AboutOxygenXmlEditor/~3/4_KvUa2YiFs/dita-rel… I'm happy to announce this autumn the release of Oxygen 17.1. We've been quite buzy in the last months working on it and we hope you'll enjoy it in your daily XML-related activities. Oxygen 17.1 comes with official support for the latest operating systems, Windows 10 and Mac OSX OS X El Capitan (10.11). It also comes with a new user interface color theme called "Light" that makes the entire application interface look crisp and clean. Besides this, you now have the support to define custom color themes and share them with your team. As always we also have lots of DITA-related improvements: The dialogs for inserting conkeyrefs, conrefs and keyrefs to metadata have all been merged in one intuitive to use toolbar action called "Reuse content". The dialog used to insert or to edit properties for a topic reference now also allows you to: Set profiling attributes. Define metadata content. Set any other valid attribute on the topic reference. Experimental support for DITA 1.3. You can enable DITA 1.3 support (using the latest DITA Open Toolkit 2.1.2 bundled with the application) from the "Preferences->DITA" page. This support includes support for editing and validation, scoped keys and branch filtering. Scoped Keys Support. You can establish key scopes and insert references to keys inside or outside key scopes. oXygen will also takes key scopes into account when it validates and checks for completeness, resolves key and content key references, and publishes. Branch Filtering Support. The DITA 1.3 branch filtering mechanism makes it possible to reuse the content of topics multiple times within the same map, each time using different filters. You can find out more about DITA 1.3 support from our user's manual: http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/17.1/ug-editor/#topics/dita1-3-suppor… or by watching this video demo: https://www.oxygenxml.com/demo/DITA_13.html The oXygen WebHelp system was also improved to enhance your published output. Google Search, Google Analytics, and some popular social media widgets can now be integrated into your WebHelp system and search features are now available in offline mode. Oxygen 17.1 comes bundled with an experimental new plugin developed by Jarno Elovirta for generating MS Word output (OOXML) from DITA content. Once you decide in the "Preferences->DITA" page to use the bundled DITA Open Toolkit 2.1.2, you will also enable the ability to create Lightweight DITA topics and maps so you can experiment with this exciting new standard in the making: http://dita.xml.org/blog/lightweight-dita. -- You are subscribed to email updates from "oXygen XML Editor Blog."

Hi all, In oxygen there's the template for creating xspec tests for XSLT and it can by looking at the XSLT file create some of the tests. I wonder if there's something similar for xquery? Best Regards Erik Zander

This might have been foolish, but ...
by Ben McGinnes 26 Sep '15

26 Sep '15

Hello, So I was poking around in the oxygen/templates/ directory and had a little look at the ePub 3.0 template in there. Given what I've said about ePub 3.0 and internal structure in the past, it was inevitable that I modify the template in there to add a version with subdirectories for assorted purposes and it certainly looks like it's behaving at least as far as being an additional global template. Obviously there would be no point in mentioning it here if I wasn't sharing. Anyone interested can find it here: https://github.com/adversary-org/epub-tools/tree/master/oxygen/templates In that directory you'll find the original template, mainly for comparison (and yes, making an oxygen/templates/ path in that repo is solely to make it obvious to others where to install/copy to). The template I'm referring to here is the one called "EPUB 3.0 DroidBook.epub.bin" and is so named for the embedded font I've dumped in there (Droid Sans Fallback Full). There's another template in there as well, "EPUB 3.0 BrythonBook.epub.bin" and you're welcome to play with it, of course, but I should warn you that it is *highly* experimental. It's basically built on the DroidBook template, but includes a complete implementation of Brython. Brython is an implementation of Python 3.3 for browsers and javascript. It allows you to use python code in the same way as one might normally use javascript and since ePub 3 is supposed to allow a subset of javascript I figured I'd see whether I could get this thing to work in an ePub too. I won't be too surprised if it goes nowhere and it's quite possible it might do Bad Things™ instead. On the other hand, there's nothing lost by trying it and seeing what breaks. Even if it doesn't play nicely with ePub, it ought to play quite well with regular HTML and XHTML projects. As is amply demonstrated on its website and described on GitHub: http://brython.info/ https://github.com/brython-dev/brython If anyone does decide to play with Brython and ePub, I'll be interested to hear how it goes; whether that be a success or a catastrophic failure. With regards to licenses; the original templates from oXygenXML followed fairly basic specifications from the IDPF, Brython uses a BSD license (the license file is in the ePub, in the resurced subdirectory with the README and the Droid Sans font). My bits barely qualify as needing a license, but if you must have one then my WTFNMF Public License ought to do the job nicely. You can find the terms of that here: https://github.com/adversary-org/wtfnmf Oh, yes, the manifest for the Brython experiment does include all the files for the implementation (you're welcome). So it should just be a matter of calling brython.js by its relative path in any HTML or XHTML file to make it work. At least in theory, there's been zero testing yet.
