Re: [oXygen-user] Tags view in oXygen Author mode
by Eliot Kimber 27 May '16

27 May '16

I prefer the "partial tags" mode as it makes for the least clutter but still makes it clear where tag boundaries are in running text. I'm also used to using the breadcrumbs to know what my element context is or using the outline view to navigate around in the absence of tags in the main view. But I know a lot of people prefer the full-tags mode and that's probably the best starting point for new authors. Full tags with attributes tends to be too much noise and you can always use the attributes panel to see what the attributes are.

Zoom by mouse scrolling in v18
by Nico Kutscherauer 13 May '16

13 May '16

Hi group, I installed oXygen version 18 last weekend and noticed that the zooming behavior is different now: In version 17 I can zoom by mouse scrolling, when I press CTRL in the same time. In version 18 this doesn't work any more. The other ways to zoom (CTRL + "+" or by menu: Document -> Font Size -> Increase Editor Font) still works. I compared the entries of the "Increase Editor Font" in the Shortcut list of both versions. They seems to be equal. I have a colleague, who also installed the version 18 and is also not be able to zoom anymore by using the mouse. She is using Windows 10, I have Win 7. What can I do to restore this nice little functionality? Thanks, for any help!

Treating Selected Project Resources as XQuery Collection?
by Eliot Kimber 05 May '16

05 May '16

I want to use the XQuery against files feature to do some quick analysis: Find topics with large tables and report those files and only those files. It's not obvious, and I didn't find it in the help, how to do this. My hope would be that when the scope selected in the XPath/XQuery builder is "selected project resources" that those would be treated as a collection so I could do e.g.: For $doc in collection() Return {do stuff with the docs} Is this possible? The analysis I'm trying to do is to find the largest tables within the set of documents and then report those tables sorted by size. I can do this as an Xpath but the results are ordered by the order of the documents in the input doc so I have to scroll through a list of 1500 results to find the few that I'm interested in. Of course I could do this in a standalone Xquery but I was hoping there was a quick way to do it in the Xquery builder. Thanks, Eliot ---- Eliot Kimber, Owner Contrext, LLC http://contrext.com

XML refactoring including top PI
by Pierre Attar 03 May '16

03 May '16

Hi, In an RNG 1.3 DITA environment, and I try to use the Oxygen refactoring tool to enable users to convert from one topic type to an other. For example, I want to convert <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xml-model href="*iam.rng*" type="application/xml" schematypens="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0" ?> *<iam* xmlns:ditaarch="http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/" id="G19-3-5"> <title>19-3-5 ... To <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xml-model href="*patientsSous.rng*" type="application/xml" schematypens="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0" ?> *<patientsSous* xmlns:ditaarch="http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/" id="G19-3-5"> <title>19-3-5 ... I've no problem to transform XML elements using a refactoring XSLT stylesheet but this does not affects the top front PI. My stylesheet : *At document level, I remove any previous PI* <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/> </xsl:template> *At top root element, I generate the new**PI before contents* <xsl:template match="/*"> <xsl:processing-instruction name="xml-model"> href="patientsSous.rng" type="application/xml" schematypens="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0"</xsl:processing-instruction> <patientsSous > <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/> </patientsSous> </xsl:template> So, it is likely if using the refactoring tool, the stylesheet is applied only to root element, not the PI in front of the root element. Is it really the case ? A bug ? Anyone knows how to also modify the top front PI ? Regards, Pierre

On-the-fly validation of (X)HTML5 using the v.Nu REST API (was: Creating a RELAX NG datatype library .jar for use with the v.Nu schemas)
by Graham Hannington 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

Hi Ben et al, Following up on my post on 2016-03-18: > I have some thoughts about [...] the RELAX NG schemas being usable as-is across editors/tools, while the required datatype .jar needs to be built to match the editor/tool - but they'll keep for now. I now have some thoughts to share about that; and some software, too. I've been playing with the schemas from v.Nu in various tools, including editors such as Oxygen. But the implementation-specific nature of the required datatype library irks me; it's proven to be a barrier, or at least a nuisance. I decided to experiment with the v.Nu REST API (HTTP interface): no need for an external datatype library, because it's bound into v.Nu. You get the full benefit of v.Nu validation (including Schematron), not just the RELAX NG schemas. And, as long as the HTTP interface is still supported, it doesn't matter if the underlying validation technology used by v.Nu moves away from a RELAX NG schemas. Based on those experiments, I have developed and published a linter provider for the Atom editor that uses the v.Nu REST API: https://atom.io/packages/linter-vnu If you're interested in editing (X)HTML, watch the animated GIF on that page showing on-the-fly validation. I have decided not to pursue creating (or rather, creating and then maintaining) editor/tool-specific datatype libraries based on the definitions in v.Nu. I'm going to leave that to the developers of each editor/tool. If the Oxygen developers judge it to be worthwhile to support validation of (X)HTML using (what a member of the v.Nu development team describes as) the "canonical" schemas, then they can provide a datatype library (.jar) that works with Oxygen. It's up to them; their choice. (Or up to individual Oxygen users who want to do this.) I hope that the related work I've done, documented at: https://github.com/unsoup/validator will prove useful. Alternatively, the Oxygen developers could consider using the v.Nu REST API, as I've done for the Atom editor.

Catalogs, XML Calabash and Saxon
by Wendell Piez 30 Mar '16

30 Mar '16

Hi, I have a catalog set up for my project, which calls another catalog on my system, which resolves FPIs to paths. When I validate a document calling one of the DTDs at the far end of this chain, it works -- oXygen finds the DTD and validates the file. Same thing when the same document is called in via the collection() function in an XSLT - the file parses. (Plus, I know the DTD is looked for and found because if I break the link by changing the FPI, it is not found and I get an error. Plus if I set oXygen to show me its catalog lookups, there they are.) However, when I run the same stylesheet inside an XProc pipeline run by Calabash inside oXygen, I get an error "this document will be excluded from the collection" and a message to the effect that the DTD could not be found. What am I missing? Apparently while XML Calabash will use the catalog, and Saxon will use the catalog, Saxon-inside-Calabash will not? Does anyone have any insight or workarounds to share?

[XML Editor 18.0, build 2016031809] Selection mode while double click on a string with dot
by Lancelot.MEURILLON＠oecd.org 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Hi all, It seems the selection mode while double click on a string with dot has changed. Until version 17 a double click on this kind of string selected only the word until the dot (as it would be a separator). Now with the 18 version, the default behaviour is the selection does not stop at a dot. Is it a desired change ? Can I change this behaviour in settings ? Thanks Lancelot

Creating a RELAX NG datatype library .jar for use with the v.Nu schemas
by Graham Hannington 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

I forget to mention in my previous post: I've run Oxygen XML Author with oxygenDebug.bat and with the log4j.properties specified on the Oxygen website (to write logs under my desktop), but the only error I see when I use "my" .jar is the same one I get when there is no datatype .jar present: > E [Jing] datatype library "http://whattf.org/datatype-draft" not recognized It's as if my .jar is being ignored. This is partly what prompted my niggling thought that perhaps Oxygen has some persistent parser cache that expects the other jar (from the jEdit XML plugin developer that I used first); but if so, the stickiness is deeper than just the .jar file name, because I get the same behavior when I use the same .jar file name. If I close Oxygen, replace my .jar with the .jar from the jEdit XML plugin developer, and restart Oxygen, then I don't get that Jing error, and validation works using the v.Nu schemas that refer to those datatypes. I need to investigate whether I can turn on additional diagnostic options for Jing that might indicate whether or not my .jar is being used. I'd appreciate advice on that. (I've had confirmation from the jEdit XML plugin developer that all he did was to cut down the vnu.jar.)

Creating a RELAX NG datatype library .jar for use with the v.Nu schemas
by Graham Hannington 13 Mar '16

13 Mar '16

Revisiting some similar threads from several years ago... I want to use the Nu Html Checker (v.Nu) RELAX NG compact syntax schemas with Oxygen XML Author to edit XHTML5 documents. I'm using Oxygen XML Author version 15.2 on Windows 7. I'm already editing XHTML5 documents with the v.Nu schemas in another editor, jEdit, thanks to a jEdit XML plugin developer who has supplied me with a .jar containing the required datatype library. Good news: I can drop that .jar into the Oxygen lib directory, and everything "works": I point to the v.Nu schemas (that refer to a custom datatype), and Oxygen validates my XHTML5 documents. Bad news: I'm unable to re-create that datatype .jar myself, hence this email. I've cut down the release vnu.jar (which is what I believe the jEdit XML plugin developer did) to create a .jar containing just the classes (and other embedded data files) required by the datatype library (to avoid introducing classes that might clash with others in the classpath) to exactly the same set of files, and I've compared contents (including decompiling classes). I can't spot any significant differences between the two jars. But his works, mine doesn't :-(. And yet... both jars (mine and his) work in jEdit. So, I'm confused. To me, the most obvious answer is: there's something wrong with my .jar that I'm overlooking, that, for some reason, matters to Oxygen but not to jEdit (I haven't compared Jing versions in each product). Still, I have this niggling feeling that my jar might be okay, and that Oxygen has cached something to do with the custom datatypes in a way that requires the original version of the datatype .jar I used (from the jEdit XML plugin developer). I just don't know where that cache might be. I've deselected "parser caching", but I haven't seen any option to "clear parser cache". I'd appreciate advice on any of this. In particular: - Is my niggling feeling about parser caching just wishful thinking? Or is there a parser cache (that persists between Oxygen sessions) that I can clear? - Can someone provide me with steps that I can reproduce to cut down a release vnu.jar to, say, a vnu-datatype.jar that works in Oxygen? For details on what I'm up to and why, see: https://www.github.com/unsoup/validator (I must update that readme to mention raw.githubusercontent.com URLs an alternative to github.io URLs) Regards, Graham Hannington Fundi Software Pty Ltd 2016 ABN 89 009 120 290 This message has been scanned for malware by Websense. www.websense.com

[Announce] Streaming hands-on XSLT/XPath class (5 days, 24 hours) US$45
by G. Ken Holman 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Fellow XML community members, Udemy, the streaming platform hosting my 24-hour-long hands-on XSLT/XPath class has imposed a price cap of US$50 on all classes. In advance of the imposed date next month, I've gone ahead and dropped the price today and created a 10% off coupon here: http://CraneSoftwrights.com/links/ptux-coupon.htm If you are interested, then please use the above discount coupon. This may seem counter-intuitive on my part to offer this, but I net a larger portion of the price paid with a coupon than of the list price paid without a coupon. This class is a comprehensive review of every element, every attribute and every function of XSLT/XPath 1.0 and XSLT/XPath 2.0, with exercises and answers. I am proud of how many students have lauded the material. This is a video recording of the 5-day class that I've taught in person around the world.

No highlighting for dropdown selections in Eclipse
by Arjan Loeffen 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Dear collegues, I'm on Oxygen 17.1.0 in Mars.1 Release (4.5.1). I lost my highlight on selections in Eclipse. Anyone, how do I get dropdown highlighting back? Is this an oxygen or eclipse thing? I do not have this problem in the Java IDE. I do have it in Oygen XSLT, XML, CSS etc. [image: Inline afbeelding 1] Thanks in advance! Arjan -- Arjan Loeffen, Armatiek BV 06-12918997

Hi, I have made a plugin allowing users to see the online help in a tab within Oxygen, and to open any web page they want, and read it within Oxygen. The plugin is at http://claudius108.users.sourceforge.ne ... /addon.xml <http://claudius108.users.sourceforge.net/repos/webview-plugin/addon.xml>. Enter http:/example.com in File / Open URL in WebView, or open the online help with Help / Help. Any feedback is welcome. Thanks, Claudius -- http://kuberam.ro

Hi, I posted a comment on the XSpec issue tracker related to this patch (https://github.com/expath/xspec/pull/74) I copy-paste it here below. Best, Sandro I tested the support for testing XSLT 3.0 with this XSpec test: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <x:description xmlns:x="http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/xspec" stylesheet="unit-converter.xsl" xslt-version="3.0"> <x:scenario label="When processing a data element with unit feet"> <x:context> <data> <altitude>1200</altitude> <unit>feet</unit> </data> </x:context> <x:expect label="convert feet to meters"> <data> <altitude>365.76</altitude> <unit>meters</unit> </data> </x:expect> </x:scenario> </x:description> It tests the following XSLT which makes use of high-order functions, a new feature of XSLT 3.0 (the example is adapted from www.xfront.com/Pearls-of-XSLT-and-XPath-3-0-Design.pdf<http://www.xfront.com/Pearls-of-XSLT-and-XPath-3-0-Design.pdf>). <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:math="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/math" exclude-result-prefixes="xs math" version="3.0"> <xsl:variable name="unit-converter" select="function( $value as xs:decimal, $f as function(item()*) as item()* ) as xs:decimal {$f($value)}"/> <xsl:variable name="feet-to-meters" select="function( $a as xs:decimal ) as xs:decimal {$a * 0.3048}"/> <xsl:template match="data[unit='feet']"> <xsl:copy> <altitude> <xsl:value-of select="$unit-converter(altitude, $feet-to-meters)"/> </altitude> <unit>meters</unit> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> I run this test with Oxygen 14.2 (which includes the Oxygen patch) and the test goes through successfully. However, I noticed that with this patch it is compulsory to specify the @xslt-versionwith the value '3.0' when testing an XSLT 3.0. If the attribute is not provided, the Oxygen ant file complains that XPath 3.0 is needed to run the test. If the patch is changed from: <stylesheet version="{( @xslt-version, '2.0' )[1]}"> to: <stylesheet version="{if ( @xslt-version, '3.0' ) then '3' else '2'}"> the XSpec test runs correctly even if @xslt-version is not provided. I wonder if this implementation may be more suitable as it does not force to specify the @xslt-version in the XSpec test, one only needs to specify the XSLT version in the actual XSL stylesheet. It also seems to me more consistent when writing XSpec tests for XSLT 2.0 as it is not required to specify @xslt-version in the XSpec test. Unfortunately I'm unable to test this implementation when running XSpec from the command line as XSLT 3.0 requires saxon9ee.jar (I only have saxon9he.jar available).
