New topicref insert dialog
by Eliot Kimber 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

I'm editing a map with a *lot* of topicref types (the PubMap domain from D4P). Because the new insert topicref dialog lists the topicref types first, this has the effect of forcing the "reference to currently-edited file" choice to the bottom of the list, which is a bit annoying. At least for myself, I almost always write a topic and then add it to the map, so reference to currently-edited file is the choice I almost always want.

OSX: Cannot Launch Oxygen from Eclipse After Install
by Eliot Kimber 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Under OSX I renamed my Oxygen 11.2 install from "oxygen" to "oxygen_11.2" then unpackaged the tar.gz for Oxygen 12 and moved the resulting "oxygen" dir to my Applications directory. I was then able to start Oxygen fine and verify that v12 started. However, from Eclipse, when I try to open a file in Oxygen by navigating to the Oxygen.app icon in the "Choose external application" dialog, the icon shows as a text file, not an application, after I choose it, and trying to run it gives a failure with this detail message: Error opening external editor (/Applications/oxygen/Oxygen.app). Cannot run program "/Applications/oxygen/Oxygen.app": error=13, Permission denied Any idea what the cause might be? I don't remember having this problem in the past.

How to Keep Oxygen from Opening Epubs on OSX?
by Eliot Kimber 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

I use Oxygen to run the EPUB generation plugin for the Toolkit. I have it configured to "open in browser", which should launch the EPUB in Adobe Digital Editions, but it looks like Oxygen took over the EPUB association so the EPUB opens in Oxygen rather than ADE. I tried using Open... In Finder to make ADE the default opener again but it didn't seem to take.

Easy Way to Delete Entire Elements Using Map-Based Search and Replace?
by Eliot Kimber 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

I have the situation where I want to delete elements in a bunch of topics where I can reliably find the elements (e.g., via XPath or regex). But there doesn't appear to be an obvious way to do this. Have I missed something? In my particular case the elements involved will have attributes with unique values or will span multiple lines.

Using Other Toolkits with Oxygen 12
by Eliot Kimber 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

Should I be able to swap in different Toolkit distributions with Oxygen 12? I tried swapping in the one I was using 11.2, which is the 1.5.2M4 with a lot of plugins added. That failed when I tried to use it from Oxygen 12 with a method-not-found error related to the Xerces grammar caching. I didn't have time to track down the issue at the moment so I just restored the Toolkit as installed. But I'm wondering if the the Toolkit in 12 is more heavily customized and so can't just be swapped out?

Default Setting for " Enable DTD/XML Schema processing in document type detection"
by Eliot Kimber 13 Sep '10

13 Sep '10

I noticed that the Enable DTD/XML Schema processing in document type detection setting in Document Type Associations is not on by default. Is there any reason that the default shouldn't be that this is on with "Only for local DTDs" also turned on? I ask because I set up a new dev environment for a client and it took me a while to figure out why Oxygen wasn't recognizing her specialized topics as DITA even though I had deployed the document types to Oxygen's Toolkit. I finally remembered this setting and turned it on, but it seems like it would be useful to have it on by default so that DITA processing in particular is more likely to just work.

Reversing an SVN ignore
by Stephen Matlock 10 Sep '10

10 Sep '10

This isn't really an Oxygen/DITA request, but since Subversion is included in Oxygen, here goes: I use SVN to check out/in my content. Oxygen usually creates a TMP and an OUT folder. Generally these folders contain content I don't need, so I ignore them using the SVN:ignore command in Subversion. But one of my co-writers checked in the content in the OUT folder for one of the projects, and I need that content. How do I reverse the SVN:ignore on a folder? I checked online & wasn't able to find anything useful or that made sense. I looked through some of the files in the .SVN folder, but I don't see anything that makes sense that I could edit to undo this.

Questions about links
by Stephen Matlock 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

1. I have the following <p> tag with a linked PDF: <p> Please open the following document: <xref href="https://fileserver.com/documents/BXMLGuide.pdf">The Beginner's Guide to All Things XML</xref>. </p> (The URI for this is different in the actual document). I can use this very same URI and open this document. This link works in other documents. But when I transform this DITA content using the Legacy PDF transform, the link, while underlined in blue and apparently "clickable," does not actually open the document. 2. I have the following tag for an entry later in the document: See <xref href="C_setup_my_account.dita#setupmyaccount">Set Up Your Account</xref> for more information I can open this link within Oxygen - it opens the 'peer' file just fine. It's part of the same DITAMAP and when I transform to PDF, this topic is part of the PDF. But the link, while Blue Italic, is not clickable. 3. I remember (I think) that when I transformed to PDF using the Legacy OT transform that it also put the page number as part of the link for a link within the same document. Is this still possible?

Re: [oXygen-user] WebHelp output: graphics put in subfolder [CAUSE FOUND]
by Yves Barbion 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Hi Radu I have found the cause of the problem: some topics have a link to a topic which is "outside the scope of the input dita/map directory", for example: <related-links status = "new"> <link href="../layout.xml#aw1140092"> <linktext>Layout.</linktext> </link></related-links></task> The DITA OT then gives me this warning: [pipeline] [DOTJ036W][WARN] The file "C:\temp\oxygen_webhelp_test\DITA\layout.xml" referenced by "C:\temp\oxygen_webhelp_test\DITA\prototype\to_create_a_task_topic.xml" is outside the scope of the input dita/map directory. If you do not want to see the warning message,please use the Ant parameter 'outer.control', and set the value as "quiet".Or,you can move the referenced file The graphics are then put in a subfolder. I will send Support a small prototype. Thank you in advance for your help. Kind regards -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu

Controlling details of xref creation in DITA editing
by Eliot Kimber 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

For DITA documents, if I create a new xref using the cross reference dialog, the resulting xref element includes the title of the target as literal next. I never want this but I didn't see a preference to control this behavior. Is there one?
