adding catalog entries in Oxygen
by Robert Nagle 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Ok, problem solved (mostly), more information and a lingering question. Voila! I noticed that the 1.7.5.2 xsl package I downloaded already includes a catalog.xml file http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/1.75.2/catalog.xml So all I really need to do is link Oxygen's preferences to that specific catalog.xml file on my local machine. So, really, all I need to do is go to Preferences --> XML --> XML Catalog --> NEW Xml catalog --> Browse to catalog.xml in local xsl root (file:/I:/My%20Documents/xml/docbook-xsl-1.75.2/catalog.xml). When I right-click the href value and click Open File at Caret, it opens in the frameworks directory (not the path I gave it) to the default xsl file (which is 1.7.5.1). Humpf! If I change the xsl: import to <xsl:import href=" http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/1.75.2/epub/docbook.xsl"/> and do the same thing, the correct file opens up in my editor. Horray! Although I've solved the problem, why didn't it work the first time? The catalog.xml file for the 1.7.5.1 looks pretty similar to the 1.7.5.2 one (although I noticed the absolute path for 1.7.5.2 is http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/ but for 1.7.5.1 it's http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/current/ Any idea? Thanks. Robert ....................................................................... Hello, You should add the XML catalog of DocBook XSL 1.75.2 on the first position in the list of XML catalogs of the DocBook doctype that is available in Preferences -> Document Type Association. If you are a content author (you are not allowed to edit the document type) you have to duplicate the DocBook 4 or DocBook 5 document type and add I:\My Documents\xml\docbook-xsl-1.75.2\catalog.xml on the Catalogs tab of the dialog for editing the document type: http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/dg-complex-customization-tutorial.ht… If your catalog is on the first position it will be parsed before the built-in catalog of Oxygen. You can check that the XML catalog is used by right click on the href value of <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/docbook.xsl"/> and run the action Open File at Caret. The action should open the stylesheet from I:\My Documents\xml\docbook-xsl-1.75.2. Regards, Sorin

DITA-OT & Oxygen
by John Fitzpatrick 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

I've created a two-pane XHTML publishing output using DITA-OT 1.4.3. This XHTML Knowledgebase has a search facility and JavaScript collapsible TOC, both of which were implemented using custom plugins to the vanilla DITA-OT v1.4.3. I'd like to be able to use this output format alongside our other outputs from Oxygen. To publish my output I have to run the following within a DOS shell ant -f my_build_file.xml Oxygen runs transformations as follows "c:\program files\oxygen xml editor 10.3\jre/bin/java" -Xmx256m -classpath "C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor 10.3/tools/ant/lib/ant-launcher.jar" etc ... ... ... 1) Can I my 'ant' scripts directly with oXygen's version of DITA-OT? 2) Do I need to change my build file to be run using Java at command line? 3) How do I integrate custom build files with oXygen? 4) Can I integrate plugins into the DITA-OT version that's shipped with oXygen? Thanks John

adding catalog entries in Oxygen

I'm having a tough time understanding the process for adding to the catalog. I am trying to make oxygen default to the 1.7.5.2 Docbook version (which was released a few weeks ago). I want to keep a local version available on my Windows machine. I understand that I need to add something to the catalog, but where? First, I see C:\Program Files (x86)\Oxygen XML Editor 10\frameworks\docbook\xsl\catalog.xml has this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog">  <rewriteURI uriStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/current/" rewritePrefix="./"/> <rewriteSystem systemIdStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/current/" rewritePrefix="./"/> <rewriteURI uriStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/1.75.1/" rewritePrefix="./"/> <rewriteSystem systemIdStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/1.75.1/" rewritePrefix="./"/> </catalog> I'm not 100% sure, how I'd edit this file. Oxygen tells me that this file isn't editable (because it's under Program Files, not user space). Would the appropriate syntax be something like this: <rewriteURI uriStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/1.75.2/" rewritePrefix="I:\My Documents\xml\docbook-xsl-1.75.2\"/> <rewriteSystem systemIdStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/1.75.2/" rewritePrefix="I:\My Documents\xml\docbook-xsl-1.75.2\"/> If I created an identical catalog.xml in my user folder (I:\My Documents\xml\docbook-xsl-1.75.2\) but switched out 1.7.5.2 for 1.7.5.1, would that be right? Then Options --> Preferences --> XML Catalog --> Add new catalog --> browse for this new catalog.xml is there an easy way for me to verify that the new local version of xsl file is actually being used? If I just declare I<xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/docbook.xsl"/> in my stylesheet, would that be enough (while taking slight hits on performance while the file is being downloaded). Thanks. Robert Nagle

Relax NG Pluggable Datatype Libraries
by Georges Discry 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hi, I'm trying to add XHTML5 support to oXygen XML editor (Eclipse plugin) using the Relax NG schema files from validator.nu[1]. However, parsing the RNC files fails because of the Datatype Library with the "http://whattf.org/datatype-draft" namespace: > datatype library "http://whattf.org/datatype-draft" not recognized | html5/web-forms.rnc Validator.nu provides a Pluggable Datatype Library[2][3] for that namespace. I've copied it in the ${oxygenHome}/lib/ directory and even added it to the XHTML5 classpath in the Document Type Association preferences. However, it doesn't solve the issue. I don't know if it's a problem with the .jar, the service for org.relaxng.datatype.DatatypeLibraryFactory or something else and I don't know what to do to make it works. Thanks for your help, Georges Discry [1] http://s.validator.nu/ [2] http://www.thaiopensource.com/relaxng/pluggable-datatypes.html [3] http://s.validator.nu/html5/datatype/java/

I think there are two orthogonal things here: the convenient user input facility (besides plain strings, you can use a select file dialog box, but also a calendar selection, etc.) And in addition, you can either give the data in the scenario, or ask for interactive input each time the scenario is run. I was asking for the second feature here (interactive input,) but sure, I think the first one (different input methods) is very interesting too! Regards, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/

Feature Request: Transform Scenario Variables for Path and Name of Input XML Document
by Eliot Kimber 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

When developing transforms it is usually more convenient to have a scenario that is applied to the transform rather than its input documents, because the input documents often vary but the transform is constant (and it's what I'm editing--I may not even have the input document open in the editor). However, the ${cfd} and ${cfn} variables reflect the document to which the scenario was applied. What I would like is variables that reflect the value of the XML URL scenario parameter so that I can, for example, have the output go wherever the XML input doc is.
