Web Author and more then one git submodules
by Jirka Kosek 06 Dec '19

06 Dec '19

Hi, I'm testing Web Author with git submodules as it seems that submodules should be supported if enabled in git plugin configuration. In my setup if I have just one submodule in git then everything works ok. But if there are more submodules added into one repo then only first submodule works correctly. For other submodules Web Authors shows no files when I try to open file using dashboard. Is this known limitation or possible quirk? Cheers, Jirka P.S. I know that submodules is tricky feature itself but it fits our needs and I got impression that Web Author should support it. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jirka Kosek e-mail: jirka(a)kosek.cz http://xmlguru.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------ Professional XML and Web consulting and training services DocBook/DITA customization, custom XSLT/XSL-FO document processing ------------------------------------------------------------------ Bringing you XML Prague conference http://xmlprague.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------

Different licenses for oXygen scripting?
by Kristen James Eberlein 18 Nov '19

18 Nov '19

I am working with a client to stabilize their Web Help build. I've suggested that they incorporate the checks from the DITA Map Completeness Check into their automated GitLab build, in order to reduce errors in their DITA source. Their infrastructure team attempted to do so, but ran into a error: "No valid Oxygen-Scripting license found." The client does have a license key for "Scripting"; is that the license key for Web Help only? My client is a small division of a HUGE company that outsources their software purchases to a vendor, so I'm trying to do some legwork here. My apologies if this is the inappropriate channel for this communication! My best to everyone at SyncroSoft. -- Best, Kris Kristen James Eberlein Chair, OASIS DITA Technical Committee Principal consultant, Eberlein Consulting www.eberleinconsulting.com +1 919 622-1501; kriseberlein (skype)

Dynamic parameter in oxy_path
by Christian Achter 28 Oct '19

28 Oct '19

Dear mailinglist members. I am creating an Oxygen framework to display XML data in Oxygen XML Author's Author mode. This is part of the XML I have with two nodes <ab> in it: <TEI> <text> <body> <div n="A"> <ab xml:id="n_d2e23" type="person"> <seg type="name"> <persName> <surname>Aarberg</surname>, <forename>Peter von</forename> </persName> <roleName>König</roleName> (<date from="ca. 1300" to="vor 1372">ca. 1300–vor 1372</date>) </seg> <seg type="affiliations"> <list> <item> <affiliation role="CEO" hkg:orgKey="#n_123_456">Best CEO they ever had</affiliation> </item> </list> </seg> </ab> <ab xml:id="n_123_456" source="SW_EB" type="organization"> <seg type="name"> <orgName>Altenburger Hofdruckerei</orgName> </seg> </ab> </div> </body> </text> </TEI> The upper <ab> node has an atribute hkg:orgKey="#n_123_456" pointing to second element's xml:id="n_123_456". I use the following CSS to display the value of <orgName> of the second element in the visual representation of the first element: affiliation:after { content: " role: " oxy_textfield( edit, "@role") " Organization ID: " oxy_textfield( edit, "@hkg:orgKey") "Organization name: " oxy_xpath( "/TEI/text/body/div/ab[@xml:id='n_123_456']/seg[@type='name']/orgName/text()" ) " " oxy_url("gfx/link_register.png"); link: attr("hkg:orgKey") } This works fine. But now I need to create the line "/TEI/text/body/div/ab[@xml:id='n_123_456']/seg[@type='name']/orgName/text()" dynamically which means: Instead of the specific value xml:id n_123_456 it should use whatever the value of the attribute @hkg:orgKey of the node <affiliation> is. I tried this: "/TEI/text/body/div/ab[@xml:id=@hkg:orgKey]/seg[@type='name']/orgName/text()" but it doesn't work. I also tried other variations like ab[@xml:id='@hkg:orgKey'] or ab[@xml:id=attr('hkg:orgKey')] and many more but none of them gave me the expected result. Maybe it is a syntax problem. I really hope there will be a solution to this and I would be very thankful for assistance. Any help is appreciated. I tried to send as much code as needed but of course shortened some parts not relevant in this case. If something is missing (or too much) please let me know. Thanks in advance and kind regards Christian Achter University of Bern

schematron validation in a batch file
by Lou Burnard 10 Oct '19

10 Oct '19

One of the features of oXygen which I really love is the way it allows me to combine schema validation with RELAXNG and with schematron just by adding a couple of PIs to the top of my file. But this requires me to fire up oXygen and open up each file one by one which is not so convenient if I have 100 or more independent documents to validate. I would rather do this in a bash script, along with all the other pre-validation sanitation work. But (a) only oXygen will take any notice of my PIs (obviously) (b) none of the open source validators I've looked at seems to have a hook for including schematron validation (c) oxyGen will do a batch validation of documents included in a project file, which is close to what I want, but still requires me to fire up oXygen, make the project file and click a couple of times, so not really a batch process Maybe someone else has found a way round this, or could explain to me why it's just not possible. And how exactly does oXygen do this magic?

'<' in validation scenario names?
by Tony Graham 26 Sep '19

26 Sep '19

I have a validation scenario for Schematron checking of pseudo-attributes of '<?pdf?>' PIs. The people editing the documents are quite used to seeing the PIs referred to as '<?pdf?>'. If I include '<?pdf?>' in the scenario name, it shows as '<?pdf?>' in the 'Configure validation scenario(s)' dialog box but as '?pdf?>' in the 'Problems' panel. If I include '<?pdf?>' in the scenario name, it shows as '<?pdf?>' in the 'Configure validation scenario(s)' dialog box and as '<?pdf?>' in the 'Problems' panel. Is there a way for '<' to show in both places? Using <oXygen/> XML Editor 21.1, build 2019090904.

Independet second index, is it not possible nor not?
by Bernhard Kleine 29 Aug '19

29 Aug '19

About one year ago, I was told that an index beside the main index was not yet possible. e.g. a construct like > <index type="science"> > <title>Wissenschaftliches Namesverzeichnis</title> had no second index as a consequence. Maybe that has changed. Can you tell me more? I found this in the Docbook XSL - the compete guide by Bob Stainton.

PI between <tr> visible in Author mode?
by Tony Graham 14 Aug '19

14 Aug '19

I have processing instructions that can appear almost anywhere in an XHTML document. This includes appearing between table rows: </tr> <?pdf stuff?> <tr> Most PIs are visible in Author mode because of the CSS rule in oXygen's 'authorDefaults.css': oxy|processing-instruction { display:-oxy-morph !important; color: rgb(139, 38, 201) !important; white-space:pre-wrap !important; border-width:0px !important; margin:0px !important; padding: 0px !important; } However, the PIs between <tr> are not visible in Author mode with <oXygen/> XML Editor 21.1, build 2019061404. Neither of these have worked for me: tbody > oxy|processing-instruction { display: table-row !important; } tbody > oxy|processing-instruction { display: table-cell !important; } (Yes, there are <tbody> parents of the PIs.) Is there a way for the PIs between <tr> to be visible (and editable) when in Author mode?

A question concerning the occasional IMPERMANENCE of open tabs in Oxygen projects, when "reopening" those projects.
by Jean-Luc Chevillard 05 Aug '19

05 Aug '19

Dear members of the Oxygen support team and of the user group, I have a question concerning the IMPERMANENCE of open tabs in Oxygen projects. Mor precisely, I am currently working on several ancient texts, for which I am preparing electronic editions (in a progressively changing XML format) and each text has its own project. When I exit Oxygen, I usually leave several tabs open in the currently open project, and I expect to find themselves still open when I restart Oxygen (and I can see that Oxygen reloads the open files, whih can take time because many files are bulky and contain complex structures with possibly tens of thousands of elements. When I switch from one project to another one (using the "Reopen project" in the "Project" menu) I have also come to expect that I shall find the same open tabs as I had left open during the previous editing session for the same project (which is therefore "virtually open") Howevever, I have recently noticed that this does not always happen. On several occasions, I have had to individually reopen files, after using the "Reopen project" (which currently lists 29 projects in its menu) This being said, I can now restate my question. -- is there a limit in the number of open tabs which can be remembered? (or in the number of virtually open projects between which one can smoothly navigate) -- can discontinuities [in remembering] be caused by the installation of a new build (or a new version)? Thanks for clarifications -- Jean-Luc https://twitter.com/JLC1956 https://univ-paris-diderot.academia.edu/JeanLucChevillard

Odd Overstruck Glyphs When Printing from Author Mode
by Ruchira Datta 15 Jul '19

15 Jul '19

Hello all, I am authoring some TEI P5 XML in Oxygen and would like to print the Author mode view. However, when i do so there are some overstruck glyphs at the beginning and end of each line, and also at the beginning and end of text between XML tags. These glyphs are being rendered as boxes or as boxes containing question marks. Though i've been using other fonts in my editor, i switched to Arial Unicode MS so that i could see what these glyphs are. One is a curlicue appearing at the lower left of the text, and another is a somewhat 3-like mark appearing at the upper right of the text. What are these glyphs, why are they appearing, and how do i get rid of them? Thanks, Ruchira

Managing revisions
by Yves Barbion 09 Jul '19

09 Jul '19

Hi group I'm using oXygen XML Editor version 21 to author DITA-structured content and I was wondering how to manage revisions. This is what I'd like to do: - Track changes automatically, i.e. without having to change the @rev attribute manually - Indicate the changed paragraphs with change bars in the PDF (using Miramo) - Generate a list of revisions I'm not using a CCMS or a version management system at this moment. Any ideas? Thanks Yves

One dialog box for multiple ${ask} in external tool definition?
by Tony Graham 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Would you consider modifying the handling of ${ask} [1] in the definition of an external tool so that oXygen pops up one dialog box for all of the ${ask} instead of a sequence of single-value dialog boxes when there are multiple ${ask}? A combined dialog box would be simpler for the user since they could see everything at once. It would avoid wanting to change an earlier response when you see the question for a later ${ask}.

How do I do a pipe-line in Oxygen?
by Jean-Luc Chevillard 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Dear Oxygen suport and Oxygen experts, can someone tell me how to make a pipeline in Oxygen? Typically, I start from a file called File_A.xml to which I apply a script called Script_1.xslt the result being a file called File_B.xml to which I apply a script called Script_2.xslt the result being a file called File_C.xml to which I apply a script called Script_3.xslt the result being a file called ..................... ................... ........... ................ File_M.xml to which I apply a script called Script_m.xslt the result being a file called File_N.xml Usually, when configuring the scenarios File_A.xml is associated with Script_1.xslt File_B.xml is associated with Script_2.xslt File_C.xml is associated with Script_3.xslt ...................... File_M.xml is associated with Script_m.xslt Therefore what I do is: press the Apply Transformation Scenario(s) BUTTON Wait press the Apply Transformation Scenario(s) BUTTON Wait press the Apply Transformation Scenario(s) BUTTON Wait ................... press the Apply Transformation Scenario(s) BUTTON Wait However, I have not understood how to further simplify the process If I select several scripts in the "configuring the scenarios" window they all apply to the same base file, which is not what I want Is it possible? and IF YES what do I miss Thanks in advance for any pointers -- Jean-Luc Chevillard (in Paris) https://twitter.com/JLC1956 https://univ-paris-diderot.academia.edu/JeanLucChevillard

[Ann] Oxygen XML Editor version 21.1
by Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu) 27 May '19

27 May '19

Hello, We are pleased to announce the release of Oxygen XML Editor version 21.1. See the complete list of new features here: http://www.oxygenxml.com/#new-version New in Oxygen XML Editor 21.1 ============================= Version 21.1 of the Oxygen XML Editor includes numerous improvements for DITA, CSS-based PDF publishing, JSON, XSLT, translation support in the content completion feature, new editing features and validation support for HTML documents, new APIs, various component updates, and much more. Some examples of improvements added in this version for DITA authoring include the ability to use the Resource Hierarchy/Dependencies view to show all the direct references for DITA resources, a new action (Find Similar Topics) that can be used to quickly find related topics that can be added as related links in the current topic, improvements when pasting table content both inside the table or outside, and when searching for references to images, the generated results will report direct references, instances where key references are used, and links to IDs. For those who use the CSS-based PDF publishing support, the DITA Map to PDF - based on HTML5 .& CSS transformation scenario now has support for a new parameter for generating a mini table of contents at the beginning of each chapter, support was added for numerous languages (including Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Spanish), new parameters can be used to control deep numbering options, and you now have the ability to style topics depending on their role (such as preface, notice, abstract, or copyright). The XML to PDF Transformation with CSS scenario was also improved to include an option to apply CSS stylesheets that are specified in the framework. With the release of version 21.1, Oxygen PDF Chemistry is no longer in a BETA stage. Oxygen PDF Chemistry is included in Oxygen as the default PDF publishing engine and it is also now available as a separate commercial option for those who want to use the publishing engine outside of Oxygen. An HTML framework was added to provide specialized editing features for HTML content, without treating it as XHTML. The brand new HTML editor offers various editing features such as a new document template, folding support, syntax highlighting, and the Content Completion Assistant offers HTML-specific proposals as well as annotations and links to the HTML5 specification. A built-in validator based on the W3C HTML Validator was added and the Outline view handles void elements or elements that are not closed to present the HTML structure properly. JSON users now have a tool for generating sample JSON instances from a JSON schema, the JSON document template now includes several customization options, and JSON Schemas with multiple references are resolved correctly. XSLT developers now have proposals in the content completion for XSLT 3.0 accumulators, better support for text value templates, and transformation improvements. Other features and improvements include translation support for the Content Completion Assistant, a new XPath function that returns the current platform, and nested editor variables are now supported. As always, this release includes numerous other requested features, API additions, bug fixes, and component updates. Download ======== The new kits can be found at http://www.oxygenxml.com/download_oxygenxml_editor.html Upcoming Events =============== Join us for the following upcoming events: June 7-9, 2019, London, United Kingdom - Markup UK [http://markupuk.org/] July 30-August 2, 2019, Rockville, Maryland, USA - Balisage 2019 - The Markup Conference [http://www.balisage.net/] October 27-30, 2019, Portland, Oregon, USA - LavaCon 2019 [https://lavacon.org/2019/] November 9, 2019, Brussels, Europe - DITA-OT Day 2019 [https://www.oxygenxml.com/events/2019/dita-ot_day.html] Support Channels ================ Just a reminder, we have an online discussion forum and a mailing list for Oxygen XML Editor users where you can request new features, post bug reports or discuss ways in which Oxygen XML Editor can solve your problems http://www.oxygenxml.com/support.html As always, your comments and suggestions are appreciated.
