Specifying multiple CSS files in an HTML5 transformation scenario
by Kristen James Eberlein 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

What is the best way to specify multiple files in a DITA-OT transformation scenario for HTML5? I can specify multiple CSS in a template descriptor file for oXygen WebHelp, but I'm not sure how best to accomplish this in an HTML5 transformation scenario. Currently: args.copycss=yes args.css=bronto_responsive.css args.cssroot=${homeDir/Documents/helpdocs/web-help/css I have two other CSS files that should be used in the transformation ... -- Best, Kris Kristen James Eberlein Chair, OASIS DITA Technical Committee OASIS Distinguished Contributor Principal consultant, Eberlein Consulting LLC www.eberleinconsulting.com +1 919 622-1501; kriseberlein (skype)

[Ann] Oxygen XML Suite Version 22.0 Release
by Radu Coravu 17 Feb '20

17 Feb '20

Hi everyone, We are proud to announce the immediate availability of version 22 of the industry-leading XML editing suite of products, Oxygen XML Editor, Author, Developer, Web Author, WebHelp, PDF Chemistry, and version 2.0 of Oxygen Content Fusion. https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_editor/whats_new.html Simultaneously, Oxygen Feedback, a new comments management platform, has progressed through the Beta phase and it is now available for commercial use, while the new Oxygen Publishing Engine offers automation support for transforming DITA content into WebHelp, PDF, EPUB, and plain HTML output from your integration scripts. This release offers an incredibly robust set of new features and improvements and the seamless synthesis of all the products makes Oxygen the most comprehensive solution available for XML authoring, development, publishing, and collaboration. The latest additions and enhancements focus on productivity, performance, security, cost-efficiency, and simplicity. ================================================================= New features and improvements added in Oxygen XML Editor/Author/Developer version 22.0 include: * DITA authoring enhancements include a new DITA Perspective that provides an optimal UI environment for working with DITA projects, media resources are now presented in the DITA Reusable Components View, various improvements to search and refactoring operations, and much more. * Support was added for the DITA-OT project file, used to define all the contexts and deliverables for a DITA publication project. Some of its benefits include simplified publishing using a single configuration file, the possibility to share and reuse project configurations, project-level validation support, and enhanced authoring. * DITA publishing to PDF using CSS was updated with various new parameters and styling features, and it is now possible to transform a single DITA topic to CSS-based PDF output. * The HTML5 editing support was enhanced to be as robust as with XHTML. You can now edit HTML documents in the Author visual mode even if they are not XML well-formed. Support was also added for content completion in CSS or JS code embedded in HTML, code templates, formatting, XPath queries, and much more. * The built-in Markdown editor is more powerful than ever. You can now apply business rule checks using real-time Schematron validation, and the editor now has synchronized scrolling between the source pane and preview pane, which offers the possibility of previewing the Markdown content as HTML, DITA, or Lightweight DITA, with the latter two facilitating the use of Markdown in the DITA ecosystem. * State-of-the-art JSON tools were added for converting XSD to JSON Schema and generating JSON Schema from sample JSON files. Further improvements refined the content completion assistant, validation, and syntax highlighting features for JSON documents. * The user interface is now also available in the Chinese language. * As always, this release includes numerous other requested features, API additions, bug fixes, and component updates. ================================================================= New features added in Oxygen XML Web Author version 22.0.0 include: * Structured auto-correct, to automatically expand text patterns to corresponding XML markup. For example, prefixing some text with "*" or "-" in DITA will generate a list item. * Easier and more efficient way to insert content references or cross references directly from the target document preview. * DITA users will benefit from improvements to the behavior of certain keyboard shortcuts, a new CSS style, and a new action for defining DITA variables. * Toolbar actions were added to the Markdown editor to make it easier to insert syntax and real-time validation of Markdown documents against a custom Schematron file is now possible. * It is now easier to reuse content in DocBook documents with new toolbar actions for XInclude and inserting links. * The user interface is available also in the Chinese language. * Various new APIs, performance and stability improvements, and more. ================================================================= New features added in Oxygen Content Fusion version 2.0 include: * Subject Matter Experts can now create new Content Fusion tasks directly in the browser interface and then share them with the documentation team to be integrated into their projects. * A DITAVAL file can now be attached to a task so that content is filtered based upon its defined conditional profiling attribute values. * Resources (such as images or CSS files) referenced in XML files are detected and optionally can be automatically included in new Content Fusion tasks. * The built-in visual editor (Oxygen XML Web Author) was updated to its latest version. * Various security improvements and interface enhancements were added. ================================================================= Improvements and updates added for Oxygen PDF Chemistry version 22.0 include: * The overall performance of the Chemistry processor was improved up to 20%. * It is now possible to display change bars to mark some revised elements in the content. * Hyphenated words are now searchable, and can be copied from a PDF reader and pasted in their original form, without the hyphen. * Fallback fonts were added for CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) languages. * Support was added for various CSS properties, functions, fonts, and more. ================================================================= As mentioned, version 22 also marks the initial release of a new product called Oxygen Feedback. It provides a way for your community to interact and offer feedback by embedding a stylish comments area into any HTML-based website. It is particularly designed for published WebHelp Responsive output and an add-on is available that contributes a side view where you can see all the comments from your output directly in Oxygen XML Editor/Author, matched to the corresponding DITA topics. Users with an already existing valid license for Oxygen XML Editor/Author can request a free one-year license at https://www.oxygenxml.com/oxygen_feedback/special_offer.html. The goal of the Oxygen Publishing Engine is to make deployments outside of Oxygen XML Editor/Author more efficient. For example, you can automate publishing from a continuous integration server by offering the same configuration that you use when you publish from Oxygen XML Editor/Author. This initial version provides the DITA Open Toolkit with integrated Oxygen publishing plugins, including the responsive Oxygen WebHelp and the CSS-based PDF Chemistry engine as a cost-effective bundle. More details can be found at https://www.oxygenxml.com/publishing_engine.html. Regards, Radu Radu Coravu <oXygen/> XML Editor http://www.oxygenxml.com

Web Help: How to include an entire directory in the output?
by Kristen James Eberlein 06 Feb '20

06 Feb '20

Hi, We need to include an entire directory of CSS and JavaScript files in the Web Help output: 317 files, too many to reference by individual <include> elements in the template descriptor file. How can we best do this? Previously, the team managed this by simply hacking the com.oxygenxml.webhelp.responsive/oxygen-webhelp/lib directory to add their directory; I very much do NOT want to do that. Obviously, we could handle this by a copy operation in our automated build, but then we would have differences between the results of the automated build and any local builds from within oXygen. -- Best, Kris Kristen James Eberlein Chair, OASIS DITA Technical Committee Principal consultant, Eberlein Consulting www.eberleinconsulting.com +1 919 622-1501; kriseberlein (skype)

Indentation of elements but not of comments
by Mike Unwalla 05 Feb '20

05 Feb '20

Hello, I want to indent the elements in an XML document. Tools>Format and Indent Files lets me do this. To specify the indentation, I can use Options>Preferences>Editor/Format/XML. Some of the elements have comments at the end of a line. Example: <pattern> I want the pattern element to be indented, but I don't want the comment on a new line. (I tried to use Elements Spacing, but I could not make it do what I want.) Is there a simple way to do what I want?

Re: [oXygen-user] oXygen-user Digest, Vol 111, Issue 7
by David Birnbaum 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

Dear oxygen-user, Thank you, Lee, for pointing me toward the online explanation, but it doesn't help. The instructions seem to have been written for Windows, and I tried adapting them for MacOS, so perhaps that's the source of my difficulty. Here are the details: A few data points: I see no option when viewing the certificate in either Chrome or Firefox (by clicking on the security icon to the immediately left of the URL) to export or save the certificate. The instructions at the link Lee mentioned say that I should be able to view a certificate from the browser and then save it to file, but I don't see an option to do that. The browser accepts the certificate without a question, and doesn't report it as self-signed. It is reported as issued by "Let's Encrypt Authority X3" (under "DST Root CA X3"). Only <oXygen/> seems to think that it is self-signed. What I tried: When I browse my Keychain (under System Roots -> Certificates) I see "DST Root CA X3", and nothing else that comes close to matching what I see when I view the certificate in Chrome. I guessed that this was what I wanted, and I exported it from the Keychain, navigated to the JRE folder for <oXygen/>, adjusted the instructions for MacOS (they were written for Windows, with backslashes and explicit paths), and ran the import command. I was notified that "Certificate already exists in system-wide CA keystore under alias <identrustdstx3> Do you still want to add it to your own keystore?". I told it "no" and restarted <oXygen/> and was not able to open the remote URL. So I ran the import again, told it "yes" this time, restarted <oXygen/>, and got the same error about not being able to open the URL.

self-signed certificates
by David Birnbaum 15 Jan '20

15 Jan '20

Dear oxygen-user list: I tried opening a file from a URL on a site that uses a self-signed certificate. <oXygen/> first asked whether I wanted to allow and trust the site, and when I told it that I did, <oXygen/> refused to load it, telling me that: Cannot open the specified file. There was a problem establishing the secure HTTPS connection. In case the server you are trying to connect to uses self-signed certificates, read the 'Troubleshooting HTTPS' section from the user manual. Full error message: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target I'm running XML Editor 21.1, build 2019120214, with the bundled Java, on MacOS Mojave. How do I communicate to <oXygen/> that it should trust this site? I tried adding an exception for the site to my Java configuration, which didn't help, and I then realized that that was probably because those exceptions are for my system Java, and <oXygen/> is using its own. Thanks, David

Thanks for the advice. Setting max_bpp=24 solved the issue. Originally the color depth was set to 32. According to the manual for the xrdp.ini setting xserverbpp=24 does the same for X11rdp and Xvnc backends. Maybe it's worth adding a paragraph to the users manual? Kind regards, M.

Installing oxygen 19.1 on centOS7

Dear list, I'm trying to install oxygen 19.1 on a VirtualMachine running centOS 7 with GNOME via X11 and OpenJDK 1.8.0. I'm running the install-script with su-privileges, but after drawing the first window (for the language selection), there are no buttons or text. The functionality is there - I can open the drop-down menu - but no text or buttons. I tried using the "unattended installation" as well as unpacking the tarball, both open a window but fail to draw it's contents. The flash screen also appears only as a grey rectangle. The VM sits behind a firewall which blocks ftp-protocols and cannot be altered, because we don't administer it - this has led to problems in the past, therefore it's worth mentioning. I tried Google, but came up empty handed. I'm hoping someone here ran into similar problems and has found a solution. Best wishes, M.

Why is the Syncro SVN Client deprecated?
by Tony Graham 09 Jan '20

09 Jan '20

See http://www.syncrosvnclient.com/. Why is the Syncro SVN Client being deprecated? I use Git for new projects, but I also work with existing projects that show no sign of moving off Subversion. I would be surprised if there are no other people in the same situation. Regards, Tony Graham. -- Senior Architect XML Division Antenna House, Inc. ---- Skerries, Ireland tgraham(a)antenna.co.jp

Git plug-in
by Kristen James Eberlein 09 Jan '20

09 Jan '20

I am evaluating the Git plug-in for oXygen XML Editor for a client that is having a hard time with SourceTree. For interested readers, see https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/21.1/ug-editor/topics/git-addon.html It installed easily and and I cloned a repository, but I cannot see a way to fetch branches from origin. The only branch I have access to is the one that I specified during the installation procedure. -- Best, Kris Kristen James Eberlein Chair, OASIS DITA Technical Committee Principal consultant, Eberlein Consulting www.eberleinconsulting.com +1 919 622-1501; kriseberlein (skype)

Request for changes in xquery indentation
by France Baril 06 Jan '20

06 Jan '20

Hi, At the last DITA Europe Conference, I discussed xquery indentation in Oxygen with Radu. As there are no universal rules, he proposed I send my suggestions. So here are some suggestions that would truly help me. If they don't get unanimous approval, I would suggest that some of them become configurable in preferences. I attached an xml file that is indented as I prefer (so please do open it without automatic indent). I included comments that indicate the proposed changes. When you apply indent you can experience the issues yourself. Thank you -- France Baril Architecte documentaire / Documentation architect france.baril(a)architextus.com

eXist-db in <oXygen/>?
by David Birnbaum 29 Dec '19

29 Dec '19

Dear oxygen-user list, I've constructed an XQuery script for eXist-db that uses the function request:get-parameter(). It works as expected in eXide. I have established a data source connection between <oXygen/> (XML Editor 21.1, build 2019120214, running on MacOS Mojave) and eXist-db (5.0.0) running on localhost, and I can open, edit, and save XQuery scripts from inside eXist-db within <oXygen/>, from which I conclude that the connection is live. Since <oXygen/> apparently cannot use the eXist-db data source connection for debugging, instead of using the <oXygen/> XQuery debugger perspective to run the script I configured a transformation scenario where I specify the localhost eXist-db connection as the Transformer. When I run this script, I get the following error message from <oXygen/>: err:XPDY0002 Variable $request is not bound to an Java object The function is used in a line that reads: declare variable $story_id as xs:string := request:get-parameter('story', 'x'); I thought at first that the error might be because the "request:" namespace prefix was not declared and bound (eXist-db declares it implicitly), so I added an explicit namespace declaration for it: declare namespace request="http://exist-db.org/xquery/request"; The error remains. The entire XQuery script is below; it retrieves information from a TEI document, based on a user-supplied resource name, if the document exists and returns an error message otherwise. Can someone please help me identify what I have apparently misunderstood about running XQuery scripts in an <oXygen/> transformation scenario using eXist-db as the XQuery transformer? Sincerely, David djbpitt(a)gmail.com __ xquery version "3.1"; declare default element namespace "http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"; declare namespace request="http://exist-db.org/xquery/request"; declare variable $stories as document-node()+ := collection('/db/apps/neh_06_reading_tei/xml'); declare variable $story_id as xs:string := request:get-parameter('story', 'x'); declare variable $story_filename as xs:string: = concat($story_id, '.xml'); declare variable $story as document-node()? := $stories[ends-with(base-uri(), $story_filename)]; if ($story) then <TEI>{ $story//(titleStmt/title | text) }</TEI> else <error xmlns="">{concat('No such story:', $story_id)}</error>

Spell check: Forbidden words in a term list
by Kristen James Eberlein 13 Dec '19

13 Dec '19

Is there a way to suggest a replacement? For example, if I make "barcode" a forbidden word, can the Spell check message suggest "bar code"? -- Best, Kris Kristen James Eberlein Chair, OASIS DITA Technical Committee Principal consultant, Eberlein Consulting www.eberleinconsulting.com +1 919 622-1501; kriseberlein (skype)

Non-breaking spaces in fragments via framework
by Christian Achter 09 Dec '19

09 Dec '19

Dear mailinglist members, this might be a trivial problem, but even after a longer research I haven't found a solution to it. I try to insert a non-breaking space via a button created by a framework. I use the following code within an <action>: <actionMode> <field name="xpathCondition"> <String></String> </field> <field name="argValues"> <serializableOrderedMap> <entry> <String>text</String> *<String>{CODE_FOR_THE_NON-BREAKING_SPACE}</String>* </entry> </serializableOrderedMap> </field> <field name="operationID"> <String>ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.InsertOrReplaceTextOperation</String> </field> </actionMode> I added a placeholder CODE_FOR_THE_NON-BREAKING_SPACE above to show you were I want to fill in my non-breaking space. I tried   which caused my whole framework to NOT be read by Oxygen XML Author. I tried   which just created a regular space. I tried &#160; which just created exactly these characters as a string in my XML document. I tried several other things which all didn't work. What do I have to put between my opening and closing <String> tags? Thanks in advance and kind regards Christian Achter
