Master files?
by David Birnbaum 10 Nov '20

10 Nov '20

Dear oxygenxml.com, Thank you, Gerrit and Octavian, for the quick and helpful responses. Thanks to your advice, which helped me understand when and how <oXygen/> updates the dependencies when using master files, I realized both why the problem was happening and—alas!—that in an effort to simplify the description when I wrote for advice, I had unwittingly omitted a decisive detail. Octavian writes: The master files graph is updated automatically when you save a file from the editing area. Therefore, when you add the "xsl:import" instruction in the master file, the module should be added in the graph and validated correctly. If a module is not detected correctly, you can also try to refresh the Master Files folder from the Project view. For this you can use the "Refresh" action from the Project view contextual menu. I described my workflow as having a master file (a.xsl) that imports a library of functions (lib.xsl) and some subsidiary files that contain only templates (b.xsl, c.xsl, etc.). The issue was that the template files use functions declared in lib.xsl, but the template files do not import lib.xsl directly. Since the template files are intended to be used only as imports into a.xsl, and a.xsl imports lib.xsl, this means that the library functions are available when I run a real transformation. The problem I reported was that when I created a new template file to be imported, <oXygen/> was raising errors about unknown functions in it, although older template files that used the same functions did not raise those errors. This led me to understand that <oXygen/> was able to learn about the dependency hierarchy, but that that didn't happen automatically and completely whenever I created a new template file to be imported. What I left out, because I did not recognize its importance at the time, is that the import is mediated; a.xsl imports only lib.xsl and an auxiliary file (let's call it aux.xsl), which consists entirely of <xsl:import> instructions to import b.xsl, c.xsl, etc. The intermediary step is based on https://www.oxygenxml.com/archives/xsl-list/201510/msg00002.html; I want to import everything in the modules directory without having to mention them all explicitly, so I run a preprocessing XSLT script that creates aux.xsl, and a.xsl then imports that. This means, I now realize (funny how obvious things can be in retrospect!), that of course 1) I have to rerun the preprocessing script to update aux.xsl every time I create a new template file to be imported, and 2) <oXygen/> will not know that this file has been imported if it is not watching it. Keeping it open in <oXygen/> and ensuring that it reloads/refreshes each time I rerun the preprocessing script fixes the problem. This all makes perfect sense ... er ... in retrospect. Best, David djbpitt(a)gmail.com

Master files?
by David Birnbaum 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Dear oxygen-user list, I've configured an XSLT transformation using master-file support, where there is one master XSLT file (a.xsl), which imports (with <xsl:import>) a file of functions (lib.xsl) and a set of files that contain only templates (b.xsl, c.xsl, etc.). The imported template files use functions defined in lib.xsl but don't import those functions directly. Since the imported template files are never run on their own, and used only by being imported into a.xsl, the functions from lib.xsl are available to the imported template files when they are used, and the transformation runs successfully. I have specified a.xsl as a master file, and <oXygen/> validates it successfully. For the most part (the four scariest words in debugging!) the imported template files do not raise real-time validation errors about unknown functions, even though they would have access to the functions they use only because both they and those functions are imported into a.xsl together. So far, so good. My issue is that when I create a new template file to be imported into a.xsl, <oXygen/> doesn't seem to know that it should be validated with the understanding that it is being imported into a.xsl, which is also importing lib.xsl. This means that when I create a new template file, <oXygen/> raises real-time validation errors about unknown functions, even though it does not raise those errors for other imported template files that use similar function calls. At some point <oXygen/> seems to learn that the new imported template files should be checked with access to master-file information, that is, that they will have access to the functions in question when they are used, at which point the imported template files no longer raise validation errors when I have them open in <oXygen/>. I have not, however, been able to identify what exactly enables <oXygen/> to learn this about new imported files as I am creating them, or how to notify <oXygen/> explicitly about them when I first begin to author them. Can someone please advise? Thanks, David djbpitt(a)gmail.com

[Ann] Webinar: Introducing the Oxygen Publishing Engine for DITA
by Alin Belu 30 Oct '20

30 Oct '20

Hello, Next Wednesday, on November 4, you are invited to our latest live event - “Introducing the Oxygen Publishing Engine for DITA” webinar! Have you been looking for a solution that offers support for transforming your DITA content into PDF and WebHelp output? Look no further! In this webinar, Julien Lacour, software developer at Syncro Soft, will introduce you to the Oxygen Publishing Engine – an automation product that bundles the DITA Open toolkit transformation engine with Oxygen publishing plugins and the PDF Chemistry engine. This event will represent a crash-course for you to learn what the Oxygen Publishing Engine is by showing you how to install it, configure it in a Continuous Integration system, and then customize your output. You will be shown its components, various workflows, and also get the chance to see how to transform a DITA map document by learning how to: * Use the “DITA Map PDF – based on HTML5 & CSS” transformation on an integration server using a publishing template for customizing the output. * Create a custom CSS stylesheet and use it in your transformation to get that extra level of customization for your specific needs. * Debug the CSS inside both a web browser and Oxygen to see how to choose the correct selectors and properties used for further styling your content.

Set Color in Data Source Explorer
by Karl Stubsjoen 26 Oct '20

26 Oct '20

This is a wish request. Would be great if there was an option to set the color for the objects and collections in the Data Source Explorer window for a top level connection. Think DEV vs. PROD. When you have the explorer expanded and you are looking at virtually the same list of objects in PROD as in DEV you have to be VERY CAREFUL that you don't actually perform an action in PROD that you intended to do in DEV! However, if the color of the collections in PROD could arbitrarily be set, in my case I'd choose to make all of those objects red, it would be a nice visual guard against making this mistake. Karl..

[Ann] Webinar: Explore Web Author beyond technical documentation
by Alin Belu 23 Oct '20

23 Oct '20

Hello, Our weekly series of live events continues on Wednesday (October 28), with the “Explore Web Author beyond technical documentation” webinar! Picture a growing company. As it grows, so does the need for standardized procedures. And when new people join the company, they often need to be trained to follow existing procedures. As you can see, a lot of time is spent in training sessions, affecting your overall productivity. With this in mind, Bogdan Dumitru, software developer at Syncro Soft, will show you how Web Author comes in handy in instances like this one, allowing you to build guided procedures where new employees don't require additional training or validation. During this webinar, you will learn various ways in which Web Author can be used to enhance your productivity: * Guiding new writers with the help of Schematron Quick Fixes or easy-to-configure contextual actions, so they can just follow the on-screen instructions. * Creating forms and sharing them with other users, with the possibility of automated processing. * Using Web Author to keep track of standardized procedures (e.g. release notes) with the possibility of filtering out the completed tasks and only focusing on the ongoing ones. * Document collaboration with real-time co-authoring. Instead of having read-only access to a document, now you can work alongside other colleagues. This is a free event and you can register at http://www.oxygenxml.com/evs2020-14.html Make sure to check the full list of the upcoming webinars on our Events page: https://www.oxygenxml.com/events_programme.html Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor

Basic help - consulting need
by leipold＠comcast.net 13 Sep '20

13 Sep '20

I am looking for someone to help me get Oxygen not to break with everything I try. I have watched every webinar and searched for answers, but it is just not helping. I am new to Oxygen. I have a very large set of books that I need to get going quickly. While I have figured some complex things out, I can't get the basics working. I need to set up a project that will have three large books in it. For now, I am just trying to get one working. I set up a project and added the ditamap I have been working on. I use the Ditamap PDF - based on HTML5 &CSS scenario and it outputs ok, although the bookmark are all squishy. I want to customize the output, so I duplicate the scenario and change some parameters and save as a publishing template and add to my project. Now I can output using the new scenario. If I use miniTOC, things get messed up. The only way to get rid of the problem is to delete the whole project and scenario and start over.. I do that and the new scenario works (without minTOC). Now I try to edit the css in the publishing template. No matter what I try to edit, even if I put in a period and then delete it, Oxygen breaks and won't transform anything. It says there is a problem with build.xml Again, the only way to get it working again is to delete everything and start over. All I really need are the following items. * Headers Bold non serif * Table format: shaded top row and full borders * Line under the first header(title). * Headers to continue for tables (not available in Parameters) * minitoc would be nice, but not necessary if it causes problems. * hyphenation * I'll need to configure the cover page at some point This is really basic stuff that should take me a few miniutes. I just don't understand how to get it setup and working in Oxygen. I don' think that it will take more than 2 hours to get all this going. I have put about 18 in to attempting to make it work. Between this and the issue I had with Equation conversion from Word (which Radu thankfully helped me through), I am way behind. If I can just get this basic startup, the rest should be pretty smooth. Creating the ditamap and content is not my issue and if I make no changes to the scenario or CSS I can output to PDF. But i do need to make changes to the CSS (or scenario) and I need help getting that working as soon as possible. Thanks, Debbi Debbi Leipold | Mobile (410) 905-7948

[Ann] New Oxygen add-on to help translators
by Radu Coravu 03 Sep '20

03 Sep '20

Hi everyone, Over the course of this summer one of our interns, Mircea Badoi, worked on a free Oxygen XML add-on designed to help translating XML content. Starting from yesterday, the add-on is available for Oxygen vesions 21.1 or newer in our default add-on repository. If you want to install it, you can use the Oxygen main menu "Help->Install new add-ons", choose the default Oxygen add-on update site and you will find an add-on named "Translator Helper (Experimental)" in the list. The add-on has two main features: 1. You can translate content using Google Translate to various languages: * Select the content to translate in the *Author* visual editing mode. You can also select the entire document contents. DITA topics are small so you can select the entire topic contents. * Right click. Select "Google Translate into" and choose the target language. * Copy the translated content from the opened web page. * Click *Replace* in the Oxygen *Translate using Google Translate* dialog that showed up. The original content should now be replaced with the translated content, the original element structure and attributes should remain unchanged. * In addition you can choose to show the original document content in the *Translator Helper* side view. This will allow you to correct the translation further by looking at the original text and the translated text side by side. 2. You can see the original content side by side with the content that you are translating, so you can translate correctly and easy by right clicking in the Author visual editing mode and invoking the *Show current content in side view* action. So I hope you will enjoy the add-on, if you have questions or improvement requests, they are as usual welcomed. One area in which the plugin may be useful is for example if you want to quickly demo to a customer how a topic written in English would look like in other languages like Japanese Chinese, French, German, Russian, etc. Regards, Radu Radu Coravu Oxygen XML Editor

Insert Image as Variable in Eclipse environment
by Oudkerk, Judith 31 Aug '20

Hi All, I'm using Oxygen XML (version in the Ixiasoft Eclipse CCMS environment. I'd like to insert an image as variable in a topic, but I can't get it to work. I know it's possible, because I used to do this in the Stand-alone Oxygen XML editor. I created a variables map and added this for the image variable: <keydef format="png" href="nlr1598608071706.image" keys="cap" scope="local"/> The output shows the href as text though: [cid:image003.jpg@01D67D55.704FD2E0] Am I doing something wrong, or is it not possible within the Eclipse environment? Version: Oxygen.3a (4.7.3a) Build id: M20180330-0640 PS. The image is .PNG, not .SVG. This was just a test-topic I had lying around. Thanks in advance for you input.

Experimental XSLT for transforming oXygen change markup in DocBook docs into DocBook
by Imsieke, Gerrit, le-tex 19 Aug '20

19 Aug '20

Apologies for cross-posting. Please think about whether the answer is most relevant to only one of both mailings lists before replying to both. I recently wanted to render a large book (DocBook 5.1) that was copy-edited in oXygen author mode and that contained the corresponding processing instructions, and I wanted to render it with the Ant-based FO scenario that displays changes. But for some reason that I could not really fathom, neither this FOP scenario nor the default PDF rendering scenario produced results, with different error messages. Increasing oXygen’s or Ant’s heap space to insane amounts didn’t improve the situation. Anyway, I didn’t need a PDF; HTML would be fine, too, so I decided to add an oXygen change markup renderer to Norm’s brand new xslTNG stylesheets, https://github.com/docbook/xslTNG There’s a pull request to xslTNG where I asked Norm to merge it into xslTNG (https://github.com/docbook/xslTNG/pull/67) But since it has been hardly tested on many documents, Norm is hesitant to merge it, and I’d like to collect some user feedback first. I’d like to ask you to test it on your DocBook files that have been enhanced with change markup in oXygen’s author mode. The patched renderer is at https://github.com/gimsieke/xslTNG/tree/oxy-markup. You probably need Gradle or something to build it yourself, but you can use the latest release (https://github.com/docbook/xslTNG/releases) and replace the changed files (https://github.com/docbook/xslTNG/pull/67/files) Or you can just run the stylesheet https://github.com/gimsieke/xslTNG/blob/oxy-markup/src/main/xslt/transforms… standalone, render the resulting DocBook to HTML and define the CSS classes .oxy_insert and .oxy_delete to naybe color:green and color:red, respectively. Please let me know whether it works in principle or whether there are bugs or missing features. Also whether there’s already another stylesheet somewhere in place that is supposed to render the oXygen change markup PIs. Gerrit

Hello, I have an extremely large document to convert from Word to Oxygen DITA. One of the biggest problems is equations, and there are thousands of them. I found a way to export the equation to from word MathML and get this: <mml:math xmlns:mml=" <http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML> http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:m=" <http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/math%22%3E%3Cmml:msub…> http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/offic ... <mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:mo>=</mml:mo><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>C</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>d</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>A</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>p</mml:mi><mml:mi>i</mml:mi><mml:mi>p</mml:mi><mml:mi>e</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:msqrt><mml:mfrac><mml:mrow><mml:mn>2</mml:mn></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mo>(</mml:mo><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>P</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>a</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:mo>-</mml:mo><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>P</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>p</mml:mi><mml:mi>s</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub><mml:mo>)</mml:mo><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>v</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>w</mml:mi><mml:mo>,</mml:mo><mml:mi>a</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:mfrac></mml:msqrt></mml:math> I insert that into the equation editor and get this: <p>MathML inline: <equation-inline> <mml:math xmlns:mml=" <http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML> http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:m=" <http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/math> http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/offic ... /2006/math"> <mml:mi>W</mml:mi><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:mo>=</mml:mo><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>C</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>d</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>A</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>p</mml:mi><mml:mi>i</mml:mi><mml:mi>p</mml:mi><mml:mi>e</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:msqrt><mml:mfrac><mml:mrow><mml:mn>2</mml:mn><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:mfenced open="[" close="]" separators="|"><mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>P</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>a</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:mo>-</mml:mo><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>P</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>p</mml:mi><mml:mi>s</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:mfenced></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>v</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>w</mml:mi><mml:mo>,</mml:mo><mml:mi>a</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:mfrac></mml:msqrt></mml:math> </equation-inline></p> It looks fine in Author, but has element errors that MMM:Ml must be declared. It will not transform using the DITA Map PDF - based on HTML & CSS scenario. I have gotten to the point where I just do not know how to fix this. I realize that the syntax isn't the same as: <m:math display='inline'> <m:semantics> <m:mrow> <m:msqrt> ... But with thousands of these, I need the quickest way possible to get these equations in a format that can transform. I thought I had it because it finally looked right in Author, but I need to know how to add the correct element type to get it to transform. Sorry if this topic has been addressed before. I didn't find it. Thanks, Debbi Debbi Leipold | Mobile (410) 905-7948

Hiding keyref text in xrefs (in Author mode)
by Yves Barbion 12 Aug '20

12 Aug '20

Hi group When I insert a xref to a DITA topic with a key, I see the following in Author mode: <p><xref>[keyref_text]My cross-reference display text</xref></p> The keyref_text makes it a bit difficult to read my cross-reference display text, so I would like to hide it when I'm working in Author mode. Is there a way to do this? Thanks Yves

Sort order of media objects in the DITA Reusable Components pane
by Yves Barbion 27 Jul '20

27 Jul '20

Hi Oxygen users Can I change the way in which the objects are sorted in the DITA Reusable Components pane? I see that they are now sorted alphabetically, based on their file names, but I'd like to have them sorted by date. I could then have my most recent images appear on top, which are usually the ones which I want to insert into my topics. Thanks Yves
