oXygen Author DITA Arabic Support
by Khaled Aly 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

I recently activated oXygen 16 and was wondering if you have reference to actual DITA use cases or sample documents with Arabic language content. I know it works in principle, but my limited trial yet did not yield a good output. My target output would be PDF and Webhelp, for a large documentation project where all/main content will be in Arabic, and will need to support profiling and conditional processing. I tried in a basic topic inserting Arabic content within the element tags. The PDF output had major form problem and the Arabic text was at left rather than at right. The XHTML output came with proper form, but also at left (probably this has a solution by adjusting right-to-left parameter). Thanks & regards, Khaled Aly

Author 16 DITA - Arabic content
by Khaled Aly 05 Jul '14

05 Jul '14

Hi I recently activated oXygen 16 and was wondering if you have reference to actual DITA use cases or sample documents with Arabic language content. I know it works in principle, but my limited trial (topic file attached) produced mis-formed Arabic in the PDF. This is a large documentation project where the main content would be in Arabic and need to ensure it would work smoothly. There is a RTL problem in both PDF and XHTML outputs, but I suppose this can be overcome by adjusting related parameter. The main thing is whether things would work smoothly, specially when styling the PDF. Thanks & regards, Khaled

Does the DITA-OT provided with oXygen have mods to allow both .xml and .dita extensions?
by Echlin, Robert 30 Jun '14

30 Jun '14

Hi Does the DITA-OT provided with oXygen have modifications that support using topics with either .xml or .dita filename extensions in the same build? I am running into a problem with a different DITA-OT where we have imported files and wound up with both extensions in use at the same time. The symptom is that the .dita files are not filtered. That is, the conditions in @product are not respected, resulting in contents for 2 different products included in the output. My simple tests with our oXygen-based builds show that files with both extensions are processed correctly. Can you let me know if you made changes to support mixed extensions, and where the changes are? The version of the DITA-OT I am using is the 1.5.4 version that came with oXygen 13.2. All my very best, Rob -- Rob Echlin, Documentation Systems Architect, Wind River +1.613.270.5796 | Skype: rob.echlin.wr

Changing Java VM
by Felix Sasaki 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

I tried to follow this explanation to change the Java VM http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/topic7033.html#p22000 to set oxygen to work with Java version 7. But I don’t have an JRE directoy in my oxygen installation (version 16). I am using Mac os X 10.9.2. The Mac Java control panel tells me that I have only Java versions 1.7.0_60 in the mac os, but the oxygen info via "Help > About, System properties, „java.runtime.version“" says that oxygen is using java1.6. The oxygen java.library.path system property has the value /Applications/oxygen/Oxygen XML Editor.app/Contents/Resources/Java:/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/JavaApplicationLauncher.framework/Resources:.:/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/java so maybe I need to change something in the Oxygen XML Editor.app so that oxygen uses java 7. Any suggestions? Thanks, Felix

Feature request: "Replace" vs. "Replace and Find Next"
by David Sewell 29 May '14

29 May '14

I wonder if other oXygen users would find this enhancement useful: In the Find/Replace dialogue, instead of two buttons: [Find] [Replace] have three buttons, perhaps called [Find] [Replace] [Replace and Find Next] "Replace and Find Next" would have the identical behavior that the existing Replace button has. But the "Replace" button would do the replacement and stay on the current line. The rationale: very often, when constructing a complex regular expression replacement, I want to be sure that the replacement does what I want. If I just hit "Replace", the cursor moves to the next occurrence (if there is one). So it is necessary to do one of these two things: 1) do the replacement, then do Undo to get back to the replacement line, then Redo to see the replacement; or 2) toggle "Only selected lines" before doing the replacement, then change it back to "All" to continue replacing Having the additional button would remove the need for one of those steps. I realize that this would be a rather big UI change and might possibly confuse people, but I thought I would see whether anyone else agrees, David -- David Sewell, Editorial and Technical Manager ROTUNDA, The University of Virginia Press PO Box 400314, Charlottesville, VA 22904-4314 USA Email: dsewell(a)virginia.edu Tel: +1 434 924 9973 Web: http://rotunda.upress.virginia.edu/

[ann] oXygen version 16 is available
by George Cristian Bina 23 May '14

23 May '14

Hi all, I am happy to let you know that oXygen XML Editor version 16 is available from our website: http://www.oxygenxml.com The new version introduces quick fix support and implements quick fixes for the XSLT editor. We expect the support to be extended in the following releases to cover other editors like XML Schema, Relax NG, etc. and also XML itself. A very interesting work in this area is the Schematron quick fixes that will allow a Schematron schema author not only to provide human readable error messages but also a set of actions to allow users to fix the identified issue, for details please see http://www.w3.org/community/quickfix/. In the meanwhile you can get an idea on how XSLT quick fixes work in oXygen 16 in this short video http://oxygenxml.com/demo/XSLT_Quick_Fix_Support.html The Ant editor is also a very important addition in oXygen 16. If you work with Ant scripts give oXygen 16 a try. You can even edit Ant modules in context as we extended also the master files support to include Ant scripts. Here it is a short video that gives you an overview of the new Ant editing support http://oxygenxml.com/demo/Ant_Support.html XPath on multiple files is another nice addition in oXygen 16. You can select a scope in the XPath query field in the toolbar or in the XPath Builder view and the XPath expression will be executed on all the files selected by that scope. Predefined scopes include all open files, current project selection, all project files and you can also define your custom working sets. On the XML authoring we added better support for working with conditional content by allowing you to define colors and styles for specific profiling conditions and then apply those automatically to you can easily spot which part of the content goes to which deliverable. Also, when you focus on a specific deliverable you have the option to completely hide the content that is excluded from that. Here it is a video demo to show this in action http://oxygenxml.com/demo/Colors_and_Styles_for_Profiled_Content.html The oXygen WebHelp transformation from DITA and DocBook are very populat but a lot of users wanted to customize the styles of the WebHelp output. The new WebHelp skin builder allows to do that visually, see the demo at http://oxygenxml.com/demo/Skin_Builder.html or give it a try at http://oxygenxml.com/webhelp-skin-builder/ For the complete release notes please see http://oxygenxml.com/whatisnew16.0.html Best Regards, George -- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com

XInclude and Relax NG
by Tara Athan 23 May '14

23 May '14

I am using Version 14.2. I have a Relax NG schema that allows xi:include elements. But the validator does not appear to process the xi:include element prior to validation, as it does not pick up errors arising from the included file. I have checked Enable XInclude processing in the XML Parser settings. Is there anything else to do, or is this just not available (in my version)? Thanks, Tara

I have a java SDK installed, but, when I try & run oXygen, it says it needs a runtime; how do I update this to see my installed SDK?
