oXygen Author-mode document comparison plugin
by Michael Anthony Smith 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

We have developed an oXygen plugin that shows the changes between any two versions of a document as oXygen 'tracked changes', which is available for evaluation download from http://www.deltaxml.com/products/oxygen-plugin/download.html. Please use oXygen's Author mode to view, accept and reject the changes. We are looking for feedback from anyone using oXygen, who might find such a plugin useful, say to author structured documents. If you use DITA, this plugin can also create a DITA topic with status and rev attributes inserted to show the changes between two versions of your topic. Similarly, if you use DocBook, this plugin can create a DocBook document with revisionflag attributes inserted to show the changes between two versions of your document. The DeltaXML oXygen Plugin provides authors of structured documents with that essential 'compare documents' feature found in ordinary word-processors. We are in final beta stages and would appreciate any comments from oXygen users on this mailing list - please download an evaluation version and we look forward to hearing your feedback. Please feel free to provide feedback via this mailing-list, to me directly, or the plugin's own support forum (http://www.deltaxml.com/forum/index/14) Thanks for your help, Anthony -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Anthony Smith, DeltaXML Ltd "Change control for XML" T: +44 1684 578751 E: anthony.smith(a)deltaxml.com http://www.deltaxml.com Registered in England 02528681 Reg.

What Determines the view selected when you move to an editor window?
by Eliot Kimber 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

Using Oxygen 12.2, if I have two editor windows open with a number of views docked in the same tab group, if for example I select the Outline view in Editor 1, switch to Editor 2, and then come back to Editor 1, the Attribute view is now selected in Editor 1, not the Outline view I had before. Is there a way to predict or control which view will be presented by default? In my case, I would normally want the Outline view to be presented by default.

How to pass the custom schema url from a validation scenario to a custom validation engine?
by Stefan Krause 04 Jul '11

04 Jul '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I had configured a custom validation engine. It works fine if I invoke it with the validation button and a detected schema (referenced by <?oxygen?>-PI). If I use the same custom engine from inside of a validation scenario with a custom schema url, validation fails because ${ds}/${dsu} are not set. How can I pass the custom schema URL from the validation scenario to the validation engine? I suppose there is an other editor variable, but I couldn't find it.

select category instead of typing it?
by Roderik Dernison 04 Jul '11

04 Jul '11

Hi, I'd like to know if it is possible to select the category out of a list instead of typing it down. So, when I edit the prolog of my topic and add the category to the metadata, I'd like oxygen to show a dropdown list with predefined values.

Tables with width in percents
by Mike Starov 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

Hello all. I am working on customizing DocBook for our publishing department. I have a difficulty displaying tables in Author mode with "width" set in percents. The table itself is displayed fine with width corresponding to % of the page set in width attribute, but the columns are displayed as much narrower. There is a big chunk of empty space on the right that's not taken up but the columns. As soon as I change tables width to a set value like 500 the columns expand and take up the whole table space. Example below. Try pasting it and seeing how it gets displayed in oXygen. I know that DocBook schema bundled with Oxygen complains about width attribute but it is supported by HTML tables and there are rules for it in CSS. How can I fix this. I tried playing with CSS but could not find any solution. I looked at the API and there is some interfaces that seem to be able to help with this but It seems pretty complicated. I need some help getting started. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <sect1 xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0"> <title>First section</title> <para> <table frame="all" width="80%"> <title>This is table with % width</title> <tgroup cols="4"> <colspec colname="c1" colnum="1" colwidth="1.0*"/> <colspec colname="c2" colnum="2" colwidth="1.0*"/> <thead> <row> <entry>H</entry> <entry>A</entry> </row> </thead> <tbody> <row> <entry>1</entry> <entry>2</entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </table> <table frame="all" width="500"> <title>This is table with fixed width</title> <tgroup cols="4"> <colspec colname="c1" colnum="1" colwidth="1.0*"/> <colspec colname="c2" colnum="2" colwidth="1.0*"/> <thead> <row> <entry>H</entry> <entry>A</entry> </row> </thead> <tbody> <row> <entry>1</entry> <entry>2</entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </table> <table frame="all" width="80%"> <caption>Nother table HTML</caption> <col width="50%"/> <col width="50%"/> <thead> <tr> <th>A</th> <th>B</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td/> <td/> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table frame="all" width="500"> <caption>Nother table HTML fixed width</caption> <col width="50%"/> <col width="50%"/> <thead> <tr> <th>A</th> <th>B</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td/> <td/> </tr> </tbody> </table> </para> </sect1> Sincerely, Mike Starovoytov Software Engineer CME Resource 1482 Stone Point Drive, Suite 120 Roseville, CA 95661-2839 Telephone: 800-232-4238, extension 193 Fax: (916) 783-6067 Email: mike.starov(a)netce.com

How to turn of file filtering when using workspace.chooseFile method?
by Michael Anthony Smith 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

I have been developing an oXygen plugin and am using oXygen's 'workspace.chooseFile' filter to provide the functionality for locating a file on disk. The aim is to have no filtering at all, so the user can see all the files in a directory. However, I have yet to workout the correct list of filter extensions to achieve this result on all operating systems (e.g. Windows 2008 R2, Windows 7, and Mac OS X.6). The current plugin is issuing the following command is: workspace.chooseFile("Choose file", new String[]{"*", "*.*"}, "Any file", ioArg == IOArg.OUTPUT); Therefore, the current filters are "*" and "*.*". Any suggestions appreciated.

Help needed with XSLT
by Reaves, Timothy 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

I'm applying a transform to SVG documents, to make them validate against the SVG RNG schema. I have everything working EXCEPT the name spaces on the SVG element itself. These SVG documents where edited in Adobe Illistrator, and the original SVG element is: <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:a=" http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeSVGViewerExtensions/3.0/" xmlns:graph=" http://ns.adobe.com/Graphs/1.0/" xmlns:i=" http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeIllustrator/10.0/" xmlns:x=" http://ns.adobe.com/Extensibility/1.0/" xmlns:xlink=" http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> and what I want is: <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink=" http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> The stylesheet starts: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xd="http://www.oxygenxml.com/ns/doc/xsl" xmlns:i="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeIllustrator/10.0/" xmlns:a="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeSVGViewerExtensions/3.0/" xmlns:graph="http://ns.adobe.com/Graphs/1.0/" xmlns:x="http://ns.adobe.com/Extensibility/1.0/" exclude-result-prefixes="xs xd a x graph" xpath-default-namespace="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="2.0"> My understanding is that 'exclude-result-prefixes="xs xd a x graph"' should not copy over the namespaces identified, but a, x, and graph are still there in the output. My main template is below, and it keeps the namespace & extensions off of the child elements of SVG, just not the SVG node itself. <xsl:template match="@*|node()"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test=". = //i:pgf"/>  <xsl:when test=". = //@i:*" />  <xsl:when test=". = //metadata"/> <xsl:when test=". = //foreignObject"/> <xsl:when test=". = //switch">  <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> Any ideas?
