Quicker way to insert character entities?
by Helen Borrie 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Hello, I'm using the authoring application. Is there any way to get character entities into the Author view? I expected that, by typing the special character, e.g. a double-quote, the editor would automatically replace it with the standard entity, " in this case. But it is not the case. The document is saved with just the literal character, as typed. By trial and error I found that, if I switch to the Text view, I can type "&" to display a drop-list, from which I can select an entity and it will be inserted at the caret. This is terribly slow and awkward to do. It is faster to copy and paste. I can't find any reference to character entities/special characters in either the Oxygen or the Author help. Any clues welcome. Thanks. Helen

Creating a custom menu
by Michael Rush 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Hello, I've searched through the forum and email archive for similar queries but have found nothing. If this has been covered previously, I apologize for the duplication. I am running Editor 10.3. I would like to create a custom menu with several actions, including an external validation against a specific RNG schema and several transformation scenarios. In particular the RNG external validation is an action that I repeat frequently and I'd like to avoid the step of selecting the schema each time I initiate an external validation after reopening Oxygen. Many thanks, Mike

Catalog URI Resolver for XSLT Include/Import in Editor?
by Eliot Kimber 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

I'm finding myself in the situation where I want to edit style sheets that will, ultimately, use custom URIs to point to resources. For editing on the file system it would be easiest if I could use an XML catalog to map my private URIs to the files on my file system so the same reference will work as developed and as deployed. Is that possible today? I didn't see anything likely in the help or searching on URI resolver in the mailing list archives.

No page numbers in TOC or xrefs
by Loreti, Wendy 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

I'm sorry if this is something obvious, but I'm transforming into pdf using Idiom and Apache FOP, and there are no page numbers in my table of contents or where I have a cross-reference. What should I be doing differently? Thanks, Wendy Loreti Senior Technical Writer Vocollect, Inc. 703 Rodi Rd.

Is it possible, when doing a DITA OT transform, to specify ant parameters?
by Steven Anderson 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

I like to use ant's XmlLogger as a logger for my ant builds. I think that's the last piece keeping me from really utilizing the DITA OT transforms from within oXygen, now that I can specify my own ant home. I still don't see any way to specify ant parameters as part of the scenario, though, only JVM args. What I'd like to see is a text box, just like the one for JVM args, for ant params, so I could add "-logger org.apache.tools.ant.XmlLogger -logfile buildlog.xml" to my ant command. Is there a way to do that already and I'm missing it? Steve ps - I don't post often, but I use oXygen every day. It is, really, one of the best tools I have ever used. The rate that you add new features and functionality is astounding, and, often, it seems like you are reading my mind. When I run into a problem and I think, "I wish oXygen could do this ...." it often already does, or the feature gets added in the next point release. If y'all have a blog where I can donate to a "Buy the developers a beer" tip jar, send it on to me, I owe you.

Why does Oxygen 10 lock up when I add a schemaLocation to an XSD [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
by John.Hockaday＠ga.gov.au 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Hi, I am creating an XSD which looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xs:schema targetNamespace="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd" elementFormDefault="qualified" version="0.1" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:gmd="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd">  <xs:annotation> <xs:documentation> This file was generated from ISO TC/211 UML class diagrams == 01-26-2005 12:40:04 ====== </xs:documentation> </xs:annotation>  <xs:import nameSpace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd"/> <xs:import namespace=" http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" schemaLocation="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/xlink/xlinks.xsd"/> <xs:include schemaLocation="../gmd/metadataApplication.xsd" />    </xs:schema> As I create this XSD everything is fine until I add the schemaLocation hint of "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd". Oxygen then locks up. I have to use Windows task manager to delete the application. What is wrong with identifying the XSD schema for a schemaLocation hint in a import statement? Thanks. John

docbook 5 + entities + doctype +xincludes?
by Robert Nagle 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

First, thank you very much for your helpful reply over the last few days. It has really helped me. I'm trying to figure out how to insert character entities in docbook 5. Reading the docbook 5 documentation , I learned that you still need to indicate a doctype to validate: http://www.docbook.org/docs/howto/#faq-authoring-general-entities After I added the example entity set, <!DOCTYPE article [ <!ENTITY % isopub SYSTEM "http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/iso8879/isopub.ent"> %isopub; ]> things worked a-ok in oxygen. Here's my question. My oxygen editor validated successfully only if I have a doctype declaration at the top of every xml document referenced by the xincludes in addition to the main document. That doesn't make sense. That means I need to have 10 (or 100 or 200) instances of boilerplate code at the top of the doc. If I put the doctype element only once in the main index file (the file with the references to the xincludes), shouldn't the validator be aware of the entity file after it was declared at the top of the main index file? Or is this something quirky about the validation engine which is requiring each file to have a doctype element? Finally, I'm not sure I understand the syntax of the doctype element. (need to do some research). This reference goes to a public document, not to something local which I can maintain. If I added this to the catalog under the framework/docbook5 directory, <system systemId="http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/iso8879/isopub.ent" uri="isopub.ent"/> would this be sufficient? This would mainly be a concern if I wanted to add to my list of entities over time (or reference different entity sets). How would this be done?
