Schematron including XSLT, under XSpec
by Wendell Piez 30 Apr '21

30 Apr '21

Hello oXygenists, Today I find myself (surprisingly for the first time in a serious way) using the fantastic Schematron testing under XSpec as implemented in oXygen. Beautiful job in every way. Except my fancy Schematrons all embed XSLT and my operations rely on -allow-foreign:true in my Schematron processor. Running the XSpec (using its bundled Ant build) gives me grief about the XSLT. I poked around in the Options but nothing is obvious. Is it the build.xml file? My Ant is even worse than my XSpec. Thanks, Wendell -- ...Wendell Piez... ...wendell -at- nist -dot- gov... ...wendellpiez.com... ...pellucidliterature.org... ...pausepress.org... ...github.com/wendellpiez... ...gitlab.coko.foundation/wendell...

Displaying LaTeX in XML documents
by Michael Boudreau 22 Apr '21

22 Apr '21

Hello, The blog post at https://blog.oxygenxml.com/topics/adding-latex-equation-support-dita.html refers to a plugin that will create an image from LaTeX to display in Author mode. I downloaded the ‘latex-images-support’ folder and installed it in my plugins folder. The math expression in the sample file— <?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="sample.css"?> <root> A document containing LaTeX : <latex>$x=\frac{1+y}{1+2z^2}$</latex> </root> is rendered correctly as an image when I view it in Author mode (using Oxygen 23.0). I’d like to be able to use the plugin with JATS XML documents, which can contain LaTeX inside a <tex-math> element, like so: <tex-math notation="LaTeX" version="MathJax">$x=\frac{1+y}{1+2z^2}$</tex-math> or <tex-math notation="LaTeX" version="MathJax"><![CDATA[$x=\frac{1+y}{1+2z^2}$]]></tex-math> Is there a way to configure or modify the plugin to handle this? -- Michael R.

[Ann] Webinar: Creating Frameworks Using an Extension Script (April 21)
by Alin Belu 20 Apr '21

20 Apr '21

Hello, This is a reminder to let you know that the last live event of April is getting closer and closer, and we want you there! Join us this Wednesday (April 21) for the “Creating Frameworks Using an Extension Script” webinar! During this event, Alex Jitianu (DITA evangelist and development lead at Syncro Soft) will take an extensive look at a specific method where a framework can be created using a special XML descriptor file, either from scratch or by extending an existing built-in framework (such as DITA or DocBook) and then making modifications to it. To make this possible, Alex will be covering topics, such as: * The framework structure as a package that contains resources and configuration information to provide ready-to-use support for an XML vocabulary or document type. * What benefits this new approach brings when compared with creating a framework in GUI. * Exploring various use cases and implement them through the script. * How to extend existing built-in or custom frameworks. * What deployment options are available. This is a free event and you can register at http://www.oxygenxml.com/evs2021-9.html Make sure to check the full list of our upcoming events: https://www.oxygenxml.com/events_programme.html Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor

oXygen validation of datetime attribute in XHTML
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 17 Apr '21

17 Apr '21

Greetings, oXygen list, One of my students (copied here) has discovered an interesting discrepancy between the way oXygen and the w3c Validator respond to the datetime attribute in XHTML. In oXygen, with an XHTML 5 file, the encoding of the datetime attribute with simply a year <time datetime="2019">2019</time> raises an error. The error notification disappears if we use an ISO formatted year-month or year-month-day datatype (as in <time datetime="2019-04">2019</time> or <time datetime="2019-04-15">2019</time>). The xsd:gYear datatype isn't recognized as valid in oXygen's validation of XHTML, but we notice that it's not flagged as an error by the w3c markup Validation service for an XHTML document. When we change the context from XHTML 5 to HTML in oXygen, the use of a year only in the @datetime attribute is valid and all is well. My student and I would like to know if there's a reason for the year being insufficient for @datetime in XHTML validation in oXygen, or if this is something perhaps to be corrected in oXygen's validation? Thanks!

Save via WebDAV
by Gary Kopp 14 Apr '21

14 Apr '21

I must be missing something . this is too complicated. I'm using oXygen with eXist-db. All I want to do is save the results of an XQuery query to the eXist database as a new document in a direct a way as possible. Saving the results from the results window only seems to support the local filesystem. I can jump through a few hoops and get the results transferred to an editing window where I can "Save to URI" and ultimately get it sent out via WebDAV, but the dialogs for that are ridiculously convoluted IMO. Am I missing a more direct way? --Gary Kopp

Multiple Transformation Scenarios?
by Gary Kopp 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

It looks like I need two transformation scenarios in one execution, and I'm not sure that's possible, or if there is another way to accomplish what I need. I want to execute an XProc script containing a p:xquery step. In the XQuery step the context will be whatever document I pass as the XProc source node, which is fine. But within the p:xquery step I also want to access (in let statements) documents accessed from the eXist-db datasource defined in oXygen. Such eXist datasource access normally requires an oXygen transformation scenario of its own. Can I do this? --Gary Kopp

Docbook to pdf customization
by Luxsci 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

I know this is a beginner question, but I am not sure what file I should modify to alter the transformation of docbook to pdf. I would like to change the font outputted by the pdf and also fix the numbering issue where there is no space between the number and the text (see attachment). Where would I go to customize the docbook to pdf transform? I have tried copying the Docbook-pdf transform and editing the transform to change the parameter from Times New Roman to two different open type fonts. One transforms as the bold version, even though I have regular, italic, and bold installed. The other transforms as italic, even though I have the regular, italic, and bold installed. The numbering option is unclear to me. For the font, here is what I tried and how it transformed:

Followup (strange rendering of some Tamil vowels when in TextMode in oXygen
by Jean-Luc Chevillard 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

Followup to my previous message (included below) It occurs to me that my question might be clarified if I posted a direct comparison between the what is seen on (my) Window screen when oXygen is in text mode and what is seen on the screen of that friend who runs oxygen on a Mac. What baffles me is the difference of treatment between the "M" element (line 13), where TamilRendering is fine, & the "l" element (line 15 to 18), where proper rendering fails.

Some of the most important features found in the newest version of the add-on were also some of the most requested, such as the improvements made for when working with submodules: * After a repository that contains submodules is cloned, all submodules are also automatically initialized and cloned. * When pulling the remote changes for a repository that contains submodules, the submodules are updated as well (by default). This behavior depends on the Update all submodules after pulling changes from the remote repository option from the Git Client preferences page in Oxygen. * If a submodule appears as changed in the Unstaged files area, you can open it using the Open action from the contextual menu. * The tooltip shown for a modified submodule from the Unstaged files area now presents information about the currently and previously tracked commits. Other improvements added in version 2.5.0 of the Oxygen Git Client add-on that expand its functionality even further include: * The addition of a new field in the login dialog box for authentication using a personal access token. Note that from August 13, 2021, GitHub will no longer accept password-based authentication (https://github.blog/2020-12-15-token-authentication-requirements-for-git-op…) * Branches created from other local branches are now automatically checked out. This behavior can be disabled by deselecting the Checkout branch option in the Create branch dialog box. * The Git Staging side-view has been slightly redesigned and now has a cleaner look. * Added support for Dutch localization. * Fixed an issue where debugging the Git Client using Apache Log4j did not work. * Fixed an issue where opening submodules that required authentication was not possible. * Fixed various other bugs and added several small UX improvements. Also, make sure to check the README page for the Git Client add-on on GitHub: https://github.com/oxygenxml/oxygen-git-plugin/blob/master/README.md We hope that you will enjoy using the latest release of the Oxygen Git Client add-on as much as we enjoyed developing it!

Hello, We are excited to announce that version 1.1.0 of the Oxygen DITA Prolog Updater add-on is now available in the Oxygen XML default add-on repository! Version 1.1.0 of the Oxygen DITA Prolog Updater add-on comes with these useful new improvements: * The possibility to customize the value of the type attribute for the author element that is inserted to allow you to specify the primary (creator) author. * A new option was added that lets you customize the value of the type attribute for the author element that is inserted to allow you to specify an additional author (contributor). * The process was improved so that an additional author (contributor) cannot be added if they are already specified as the primary (creator) author. * An issue where a warning message was reported even though prolog updating was disabled has been fixed. To install the add-on, follow these instructions: 1. In Oxygen, go to Help->Install new add-ons to open an add-on selection dialog box. 2. Enter or paste https://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Addons/default/updateSite.xml in the Show add-ons from field. 3. Select the DITA Prolog Updater add-on and click Next. 4. Read the end-user license agreement. Then select the I accept all terms of the end-user license agreement option and click Finish. 5. Restart the application. For more information, see the details for the Oxygen DITA Prolog Updater add-on on GitHub: https://github.com/oxygenxml/oxygen-dita-prolog-updater We hope you will find this add-on useful and, as always, your feedback is welcomed!

Hi all, I am going on vacation soon. I have Oxygen on my desktop and have installed it now also on my laptop. I am still authoring on my desktop, but I want a way to sync my files etc. from my desktop to my laptop so that they will contain the same data. How do I do this? I am guessing that the project file alone won't help me. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Re: [oXygen-user] Why doesn't Oxygen "learn" the meaning of file extensions?

Ah! How embarrassing. That makes perfect sense. Thanks George! /Roger -----Original Message----- From: oXygen-user <oxygen-user-bounces(a)oxygenxml.com> On Behalf Of George Bina Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2021 3:08 PM To: oxygen-user(a)oxygenxml.com Subject: [EXT] Re: [oXygen-user] Why doesn't Oxygen "learn" the meaning of file extensions? Dear Roger, In this particular situation Oxygen offers in that dialog that asks you what editor should be used to open the ".h" file an option that says: [ ] Associate file type with editor If you want to always open ".h" files with the C editor, just enable the checkbox and this will automatically add an entry in Options->Preferences -- File Types that will associate for the ".h" extension the C editor. We considered this to cover the use case you mentioned, and if somebody does not want to enable this checkbox then maybe they want to have the option to select another editor next time a ".h" file is opened. You may also go to the "File types" preferences page and associate there extensions with specific editors. There are some cases when we apply the idea of learning, for example if you open a file without any schema, then Oxygen will automatically infer the document structure from the current file and it will offer content completion based on that.

I drag and drop a .c file into Oxygen and Oxygen recognizes that it should use its C editor to open the file. I drag and drop a .h file into Oxygen and Oxygen asks me what kind of file it is. I can drag and drop the .h file into Oxygen a hundred times and Oxygen will always ask me what kind of file it is, and I always tell Oxygen the same thing. Why can't Oxygen learn? After some number of times telling Oxygen to use the C editor, Oxygen should assume that the .h file should be opened using the C editor. > > Well, that is on my wish list for Oxygen. > > /Roger > _______________________________________________ > oXygen-user mailing list > oXygen-user(a)oxygenxml.com > https://www.oxygenxml.com/mailman/listinfo/oxygen-user > _______________________________________________ oXygen-user mailing list oXygen-user(a)oxygenxml.com https://www.oxygenxml.com/mailman/listinfo/oxygen-user
