Problem with Masterfile

Hi, I have with a essentially five files, one master and four chapters, organized within a project where the support for masterfile is checked. However, transforming from a chap_file does not transform the whole booklet but only the chapter chosen. Is this a bug of Oxygen 20.1 or am I missing some steps?

Filetypes in Oxygen
by Christian Wittern 24 Sep '18

24 Sep '18

Hi everybody, I am starting to use oXygen (20.1) with eXist-db (5.0RC4). I set up the datasource and can read and write to the database. When writing a new XQuery file, oXygen suggests .xquery as the file type extension and works fine with it. However, I am used to use .xq and .xqm for XQuery files. However, when I want to save such a file, oXygen refuses to save and shows the following errors: Cannot save the file: API error: Failed to invoke method uploadCompressed in class org.exist.xmlrpc.RpcConnection: Not in GZIP format This puzzles me and makes me think that somehow oXygen does not know about these file types, although they are indeed listed in Preferences->Filetype and associated with XQuery. Does anybody know what is going wrong here? Any help appreciated, Christian

Author view: Hide DITA ditamap data about attribute
by Steven Anderson 11 Sep '18

11 Sep '18

In my DITA topic I have the following: <map xml:lang="en-us" linking="none"> <title>Title</title> <topicmeta> <shortdesc>shortdesc</shortdesc> <data-about> <data name="icon_url" href="http://<some_path>"/> In author view, by default, I see a form field for the name. I'd like to override that using CSS. I figured out how to do map > topicmeta > data-about > data[name="icon_url"]:after { content: "Pick a local icon or a remote URL for the icon:" oxy_urlChooser( edit, "@href", columns 50); } which allows me to show a picker for an attribute I do want to display, but, I still see the form field for the name attribute. Same issue for the value field; if I want to hide it, how can I hide it? -- Steve <http://smart.salesforce.com/sig/sanderson//us_mb/default/link.html>

Which words does “Document: Count Words” count?
by Ruchira Datta 06 Sep '18

06 Sep '18

Hello all, Which words does “Document: Count Words” count? I would certainly hope it doesn't count the XML markup. Beyond that, we are using Track Changes with author mode, and we would like not to count deleted text that is still present (i.e., as a change to be reviewed). Does this menu item count that or not? Thanks in advance for your help, —Ruchira

Thank you so much Bernhard. Did you use JebRef's Medline XML format for export? You then turned that XML into a valid DITA document for the bibliography by manually editing it? Is there a hyperlink or other programmatic connection between an inline citation within a chapter and the corresponding entry at the end of the chapter? Or is the connection regular text (e.g. same last name & year) ? -da'ud

Is there a best practice for working with inline citations, reference footnotes, and/or bibliographies in Oxygen while writing DITA documents? I'm familiar with Mendeley, Endnote, and Zotero, which link to MS Word.

oXygen Web Author - problem accesing GitLab on premise
by Jirka Kosek 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

Hi, I'm struggling to configure oXygen Web Author to access files from GitLab (on-premise). Everything should be configured properly, I can autenticate to GitLab from Web Author and can list available repositories. But once I want to access repository -- i.e. browse it for files or create new file I'm getting the following error message: Failed to open repository: https://gitlab.example.com/foo/bar (I have obfuscated actual URL to repository). On a closer inspection in Developer tools it seems that Web Author tries to access: https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/foo%2Fbar GitLab returns 404 for such URL. I have skimmed over GitLab documentation and it seems that proper URL syntax should be https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/$id$ where $id$ is project identifier that can be obtained by accessing projects metadata at https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/ I'm not sure if this problem in oXygen Web Author of perhaps using some older API or whether there is something that I have to change in GitLab configuration. Anyone noticed this problem and found solution?

Want to get rid intentation for figures in FO
by Bernhard Kleine 04 Aug '18

04 Aug '18

Hi, I designed a booklet with a couple of figures with oxygen. The booklet is transformed with FO. I have changed already the Transformation Scenery to fit to my purpose. However, I cannot get rid of the way figures are indented with FO. I have already made some preparations and copied fo_param.xsl, fo.css, and docbook.xsl into the following structure. The paths in docbook.xsl were changed to account for a not normal place. project/ ├── README.txt ├── project.xpr ├── xml/ │ ├── book.xml │ └── cha-intro.xml └── xslt/ ├── fo/ │ ├── fo_param.xsl │ ├── fo.css │ └── docbook.xsl └── xhtml/ Where can I now find the information which when changed will enable to get rid of figure indentation.

Re: [oXygen-user] Suggestions for having multiple instances of oXygen 20.1 on a single system
by dvint 02 Jul '18

02 Jul '18

You shouldn't have any problem. I run multiple versions of oxygen because of different user requirements at my company. Shouldn't be any different when using 2 of the same version. I name each root folder for the version and have complete copies of oxygen and then have different startup icons for each. Tricky part is detecting which version is running. It seems like most of the time I can only have one oxygen session running at a time, but once in awhile two seem to start. This will catch me when I have oxygen in the background on the Mac and I click on the icon to start a specific version. The backgrounded version will come forward instead of the one. In my case I can use the About screen to verify the version. Hopefully with the customized version there is something detectible in a top level menu. ..dan Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device -------- Original message -------- From: Kristen James Eberlein <kris(a)eberleinconsulting.com> Date: 7/2/18 6:00 AM (GMT-08:00) To: oxygen-user(a)oxygenxml.com Subject: [oXygen-user] Suggestions for having multiple instances of oXygen 20.1 on a single system Hi, guys.

Displaying non breaking spaces in Author view
by Jirka Kosek 28 Jun '18

28 Jun '18

Hi, is there some way how to make Author to visually differentiate between normal spaces and non-breaking ones? For example in MS Word you can turn on displaying of such characters and non-breaking spaces then show small circle in their area. I know that Unicode code of character under the cursor is displayed in a status bar, but customer wants this feature and so far I haven't found anything in oXygen that would allow for this. I have found only partial solution -- if non-breaking spaces will be entered as entity   then I can use something like oxy|entity[name='nbsp'] { ... } in CSS to make visual distinction. However this wouldn't work if non-breaking space is directly entered as Unicode character. Any hints more then welcomed.

What would be even nicer, however, is the option to specify different topic types for the new topics, for example: - topic 1 = concept topic [my_concept_topic_template.dita] - topic 2 = task topic [my_task_topic_template.dita] - topic 3 = task topic [my_task_topic_template.dita] - topic 4 = reference topic [my_reference_topic_template.dita] - topic 5 = concept topic [some_other_concept_topic_template.dita] The new topics currently use the "default" topic templates, so it would also be nice to use specific topic templates (which are referenced in the square brackets in the example above). I know you can "convert" the topic types afterwards, but this may be not so easy with task topics. And sometimes, we use different prefixes for file names of given topics (co_ for concept, ta_ for task, re_ for reference...). Maybe some ideas for oxygen XML Author 20.2? ;-) Cheers Yves

[ann] oXygen XML Editor version 20.1
by George Bina 22 Jun '18

22 Jun '18

Hi all, A new release of Oxygen XML Editor is available, version 20.1 bringing some interesting new features that I will try to highlight below. Along with the Editor product we also updated the other related products: Author, Developer, Web Author, WebHelp, Chemistry and we officially announce the release of Oxygen Content Fusion - our online collaboration platform. oXygen XML Editor highlights * add-on to connect to Content Fusion, thus enabling you to share XML content like DITA, DocBook, TEI, XHTML, etc. with anyone, in a few seconds, have them access that only using their browser and then you can retrieve and merge their changes back in oXygen XML Editor For a quick video tour, please see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/demo/Content_Fusion.html * unified customization of WebHelp and PDF output from DITA using CSS - because the DITA to PDF transformation using Oxygen PDF Chemistry engine is based on CSS, we updated the corresponding plugin to use XHTML as the input to Chemistry instead of using the DITA content directly, and thus the CSS rules can be shared between the HTML/WebHelp and the Chemistry-based PDF transformation. * accessibility support for the Responsive WebHelp ouptut, that is compliant with the Section 508 accessibility standard. * JSON validation support and support for JSON Schema For a quick video overview of JSON support please see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/demo/json_validation.html For the complete list of release notes please see https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_editor/whatisnew20.1.html Best Regards, George -- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com

author framework, ${selection} variable in ${ask} dialogue
by Andreas Wagner 21 Jun '18

21 Jun '18

Hi list, I have another question regarding the definitions I am using in my author framework: In a SurroundWithFragmentOperation I have the following Fragment argument: <choice xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"> <abbr></abbr> <expan resp="${svsal-user}" cert="${ask('Wie gewiss ist die Richtigkeit dieser Expansion?', combobox, ('high':'hoch';'medium':'mittel';'low':'niedrig';'unknown':'unbekannt'), 'high')}"> ${ask('Wie lautet die Expansion?', generic, ${selection})} </expan> </choice> This expands local editor variables such as ${svsal-user} correctly and works fine with the dialogues, but it seems to ignore the ${selection} variable that I want to use as default value in the last dialogue. The textfield that this dialogue displays is empty all the time. Is it not supposed to work this way? Thanks in advance and best regards, Andreas -- Dr. Andreas Wagner Project "The School of Salamanca" Academy of Sciences and of Literature, Mainz and Institute of Philosophy Goethe University Frankfurt/Main http://salamanca.adwmainz.de Grüneburgplatz 1 (Pf 116, R. 2.455) 60629 Frankfurt am Mainz Tel. +49 (0)69/798-32774 Fax +49 (0)69/798-32794

Consolidate framework definition from two places
by Andreas Wagner 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Dear all, Some time ago I have configured a document type framework with actions, menus, styles etc. I have packed it as an extension and installed it. Developing it further, I now have the impression that my subsequent edits have been stored in my project options file (proj.xpr) in a format that diverges significantly from that in which the framework is defined (doctype.framework). To be able to re-distribute my changes as before, do I need to move them from one to the other file somehow? I think it would be possible to just distribute the framework plus the project options file in my extension, but it looks more orderly to have all the framework information in one file and not rely on some ex-post patching that oxygen does when merging settings from the two files. I am not sure I have made myself clear. In short, the question is: When I have patched my document type framework extension per project-specific options, can I move those changes back to the original framework definition?

Generating XSD from DITA DTDs using Trang
by Kristen James Eberlein 08 Jun '18

08 Jun '18

I've been generating XSDs from DITA DTDs using Trang, as covered in https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/20.0/ug-editor/topics/converting-bet… Rather than a monolithic XSD file, I get many XSD files -- one for each module and more. Most of these will validate will test files, but I am concerned with performance if such XSDs are used in SDL Content Editor/Xopus. Is there a way to use Trang in oXygen to generate monolithic XSDs? -- Best, Kris Kristen James Eberlein Chair, OASIS DITA Technical Committee Principal consultant, Eberlein Consulting www.eberleinconsulting.com +1 919 622-1501; kriseberlein (skype)
