A few config questions
by Steven Anderson 14 Jun '13

14 Jun '13

I'm working though some things and I ran into questions I couldn't answer with the doc. I hope someone can help me out with them. 1. In the Open/Find resource, there's an option to "Index the content of remote resources" - how are those remote resourced defined? 2. "Search References" - when I'm in Author mode of a DITA doc, and I right-click on an element for Search References, it does search, but I don't know what constraints there are on the search. Does it search every XML file in the current project? Can I add search specific constraints? 3. Is there a way to enable quotes/apostrophes in the majority of the file, but use straight quotes and straight single quote in particular elements/xpaths? For example, I don't want an apostrophe in a codeblock, I want straight quotes. 4. Can the DITA Map Manager do anything with reltables? Thanks for any tips! -- Steve

I know I can put in the standard Java VM options (heap, etc.), but I was wondering what specific oxygen params I can add to that file. Is there a list somewhere? -- Steve

oxygen does not shutdown when Windows 7 shuts down
by Echlin, Robert 06 Jun '13

06 Jun '13

Hi On Windows 7, oXygen 13.2 (both Author and Editor), does not exit when Windows attempts to shut down or log out. I can hit cancel and then I can usually shut them down manually. However, sometimes Author is then in a state of having the main text window all gray, and not responding to input. On a separate note, but possibly related, yesterday I was working on a new "DITA Scenario", and had to start over. I updated some other software and had to reboot. I am pretty sure Author got into that gray text window state at the shutdown. Then, later in the morning I had trouble with builds. The value of ${cfd} passed to the builds was incorrect, Author was instead passing the Editor installation folder in "C:\Program Files". After a few minutes of this, I decided to restart Author. When it restarted, it had renamed the Project File to a name with "temp" in it, and was running without it. I used SVN update to get a working version of the Project File and recreated my new "DITA Scenario". Notes: Installed: Oxygen Editor 13.2, build 2012052412 I generally run both Editor and Author simultaneously (both from the Editor installation), editing XSLT and Ant code in Editor and testing it in Author. Also installed: oXygen 11.2 I use it with other another XML build that needs its own oXygen Framework. I think that's because its "topic" XML type conflicts with the one in DITA. Using: Windows 7, Version 6.1.7601 SP 1 Build 7601 Standalone version, not integrated with Eclipse. My normal logout practice has been to log out only on Fridays, and to close oXygen Author and Editor when I leave work at the end of the day, in case an update restarts Windows. Somewhat relevant tools - ones that hook into Windows Explorer right-click menu with more than "Open with me!": - Q-Dir to replace Windows Explorer. Pretty much eliminates restarting Windows Explorer when it crashes. - TortoiseSVN - TortoiseGIT Why don't software companies make the "version" field selectable and copy-able, in the About box or equivalent? That would be a minor feature request, trivial to do, but useful every time someone reports a bug. Microsoft should do it, not just oXygenXML.

Link xslt output messages to xml document
by Patrik.Stellmann＠gdv-dl.de 06 Jun '13

06 Jun '13

Hi, I would like to have my xslt output messages being linked to a node of the processed xml document rather then to the xslt script - preferably even with a differentiation between warnings and errors. (The use-case is that my transformation scenario can detect several errors in the processed document that can hardly be covered by schema/schematron. So the author should be able to easily jump to the position in the document to fix it.) I already managed to create a custom validation by calling saxon and passing the xslt script as argument. However, this is pretty slow and doesn't feel being the right way. Thanks for any hints. Patrik Stellmann GDV Dienstleistungs-GmbH & Co.

oXygen and network schema fetches
by David Sewell 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

I was just checking Apache logs for the past month on our web server and noticed that the highest bandwidth was coming from downloads of RELAX NG schemas that we store there. When creating and editing XML files with oXygen, we typically use shared HTTP locations for our schemas. A little bit of testing shows that when opening and editing an XML file, an RNG schema is fetched over the network many times, not just when it is first opened. It seems to fetch it when the file is first opened, then when content is first added (in order to determine the valid elements and attributes), and then other times later during the editing. Is there any way to configure oXygen so that a schema file is downloaded once during an editing session and used from cache after that?
