Schematron for Multi-Lingual Schemas?
by Tony Graham 21 Aug '15

21 Aug '15

I'm looking at localising the Schematron messages in 'focheck' (https://github.com/AntennaHouse/focheck) The non-normative advice in Annex G, "Use of Schematron for Multi-Lingual Schemas", in the Schematron spec is to use multiple <diagnostic>, one for each translation of the text from an <assert> or <report>. oXygen, unsurprisingly, shows every applicable <diagnostic>. This gets a bit cluttered and, for some user, puts the readable version of the message right at the very end. Is there a way to put multiple, localised versions of a message in a Schematron file and have only the preferred one show? Is there an alternative to making multiple single-language versions of the Schematron? And, while I'm at it, what can be done about l10n of the annotations in Relax NG schema that become tool-tips in oXygen?

About oXygen XML Editor /////////////////////////////////////////// Document Type Extension Sharing Posted: 12 Aug 2015 04:41 AM PDT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AboutOxygenXmlEditor/~3/CruPt7osXjg/document… You can extend a default bundled document type (like DITA or Docbook) in the Document Type Association preferences page, make modifications and then share the extension with your team. The steps below describe how an extension of the DITA framework which removes certain elements from the content completion list can be constructed and shared: Create somewhere on your disk, in a place where you have full write access a folder structure like: custom_frameworks/dita-extension. In the Document Type Association / Locations preferences page add in your Additional frameworks directories list the path to your custom_frameworks folder. In the Document Type Association preferences page select the DITA document type configuration and use the Extend button to create an extension for it. Give a custom name to the extension, for example DITA - Custom and then change its Storage to external, then save it to a path like: path/to/.../custom_frameworks/dita-extension/dita-extension.framework. Make changes to the extension, for example go to the Author->Content completion tab and add in the Filter - Remove content completion items list elements which should not be presented to the end users. Click OK to close the dialog and then either OK or Apply to save the preferences changes. After you perform the steps above you will have in the dita-extension folder a fully functioning framework which can be shared with others. The framework can then be shared with others in several ways: Copy it to their [OXYGEN_DIR]/frameworks directory. Create somewhere on disk a custom_frameworks folder, copy the framework there and then from the Document Type Association / Locations preferences page add in your Additional frameworks directories list the path to the custom_frameworks folder. Distribute the framework along with a project. Follow these steps: On your local drive, create a directory with full write access, containing the project files and a custom_frameworks folder containing your dita-extension. Start the application, go to the Project view and create a project. Save it in the newly created directory. In the Document Type Association / Locations preferences page, select Project Options at the bottom of the page. Add in the additional framework directories list an entry like ${pd}/custom_frameworks. Add other resources to your project, for example you can have all your DITA content located inside the project folder. You can then share the new project directory with other users. For example you can commit it to your version control system and have they update their working copy. When they open the customized project file in the Project view, the new document type becomes available in the list of Document Types. Deploy the framework/document type configuration as an add-on. After your team members install the framework they can check in Document Type Association preferences page in the list of Document Types to see if the framework is present and if it appears before the bundled DITA framework (meaning that it has higher priority). -- You are subscribed to email updates from "About oXygen XML Editor."

Schematron template?
by David Birnbaum 07 Aug '15

07 Aug '15

Dear <oXygen/> users, The template loaded when I create a new Schematron seems to have changed in version 17 not only with the addition of Schematron Quick Fix capabilities, but also by replacing the default namespace declaration: xmlns="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron" with a namespace prefix definition: xmlns:sch="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron" so that the Schematron document is now, by default, in no namespace. This isn't a problem (I can live with it or change it, as I prefer), but it makes me wonder why the default behavior was changed. Are there advantages to defaulting to no namespace, instead of to the Schematron namespace? Thanks, David

draft-comment without @author?
by Yves Barbion 27 Jul '15

27 Jul '15

Hi group When I insert a draft-comment in a DITA topic, I see that the name of the author of the draft-comment is filled in automatically, which is nice. But is there also an easy way (a setting in the preferences maybe) to insert a draft-comment without the author's name? Thanks -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu

About oXygen XML Editor /////////////////////////////////////////// Controlled Attribute Values (Part 2 - Advanced) Posted: 17 Jul 2015 03:42 AM PDT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AboutOxygenXmlEditor/~3/NE2VjDi24KA/controll… As already presented in Controlled Attribute Values for your DITA Project, Oxygen allows you to add or replace possible values for attributes or elements based on a simple configuration file. A more complex scenario is one in which in order to decide which values to provide, you need more context information. Let's take this DITA fragment: <metadata> <othermeta name="name" content="value"/> </metadata> What we want is to offer proposals for @content but the possible values for @content depend on the value of @name. We will see how we can solve this dependency. The configuration file The configuration file (cc_value_config.xml) allows calling an XSLT stylesheet and that's just what we will do:<match elementName="othermeta" attributeName="content"> <xslt href="meta.xsl" useCache="false"/> </match> As you can see, we can't express the dependency between @content and @name inside the configuration file . I also want to mention that because the values for @content are dynamic, we want the XSLT script to execute every time the values are requested (we shouldn't cache the results). We enforce this by setting @useCache to false. The XSLT script The XSLT script has access to the XML document (through the documentSystemID parameter) but it lacks any context information, we can't really tell for which othermeta element was the script invoked. To counter this limitation, we will use Java extension functions and we will call Oxygen's Java-based API from the XSLT. Here how it looks:<?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:xd="http://www.oxygenxml.com/ns/doc/xsl" xmlns:tei="http://www.oxygenxml.com/ns/doc/xsl" xmlns:prov="java:ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.PluginWorkspaceProvider" xmlns:work="java:ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.PluginWorkspace" xmlns:editorAccess="java:ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.editor.WSEditor" xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/" xmlns:textpage="java:ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.editor.page.text.xml.WSXMLTextEditorPage" xmlns:authorPage="java:ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.editor.page.author.WSAuthorEditorPage" xmlns:ctrl="java:ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.AuthorDocumentController" exclude-result-prefixes="xs xd" version="2.0"> <xsl:param name="documentSystemID" as="xs:string"></xsl:param> <xsl:template name="start"> <xsl:variable name="workspace" select="prov:getPluginWorkspace()"/> <xsl:variable name="editorAccess" select="work:getEditorAccess($workspace, xs:anyURI($documentSystemID), 0)"/> <xsl:variable name="pageID" as="xs:string" select="editorAccess:getCurrentPageID($editorAccess)"/> <xsl:variable name="name" as="xs:string"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$pageID='Text'"> <xsl:variable name="textpage" select="editorAccess:getCurrentPage($editorAccess)"/>  <xsl:value-of select="textpage:evaluateXPath($textpage, 'xs:string(./parent::node()/@name)')"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$pageID='Author'"> <xsl:variable name="authorPage" select="editorAccess:getCurrentPage($editorAccess)"/> <xsl:variable name="caretOffset" select="authorPage:getCaretOffset($authorPage)"/> <xsl:variable name="ctrl" select="authorPage:getDocumentController($authorPage)"/> <xsl:variable name="contextNode" select="ctrl:getNodeAtOffset($ctrl, $caretOffset)"/>  <xsl:value-of select="ctrl:evaluateXPath($ctrl, 'xs:string(@name)', $contextNode, false(), false(), false(), false())[1]"/> </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> </xsl:variable> <items> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$name = 'temperatureScale'"> <item value="Celsius" annotation="(symbol C)"/> <item value="Fahrenheit" annotation="(symbol F)"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$name = 'measurement'"> <item value="Metric" annotation="Metric system"/> <item value="Imperial" annotation="Also known as British Imperial"/> </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> </items> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> It is also worth mentioning that in the next Oxygen version (17.1) we will provide a more elegant solution to this situation. The XSLT script will receive a new parameter, an XPath expression that will identify the element for which content completion was invoked. But maybe we will talk about that in a future post... -- You are subscribed to email updates from "About oXygen XML Editor."

About oXygen XML Editor /////////////////////////////////////////// Controlled Attribute Values for your DITA Project Posted: 15 Jul 2015 03:31 AM PDT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AboutOxygenXmlEditor/~3/AGTBTAnCxA0/controll… Frequently when editing DITA content you will feel the need to enforce a controlled set of values when editing certain attributes. For example you may want to impose that the values for the @outputclass attribute on the element codeblock are either language-xml or language-css. This is useful in order to remind writers that any other value will not be interpreted by the build process in a significant manner. Oxygen has a couple of easy ways in which controlled values can be imposed for certain attributes: You can edit the XML configuration file OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/dita/resources/cc_value_config.xml and provide additional entries. In the case of our small example for providing controlled values for the @attribute the configuration file should contain an additional entry:<match elementName="codeblock" attributeName="outputclass"> <items action="addIfEmpty"> <item value="language-xml" annotation="XML Syntax Highlight"/> <item value="language-css" annotation="CSS Syntax Highlight"/> </items> </match>Besides providing a hard-coded list of values the content completion configuration file is flexible enough to allow calling an XSLT stylesheet which could retrieve those values from other sources (for example via HTTP from an Exist database). Provide those controlled values via a Subject Scheme Map (my favorite). Coming back to our example, you can create a small Subject Scheme map with the file name controlledValues.ditamap and the content:<!DOCTYPE subjectScheme PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Subject Scheme Map//EN""map.dtd"> <subjectScheme> <subjectHead> <subjectHeadMeta> <navtitle>Provide controlled attributes</navtitle> </subjectHeadMeta> </subjectHead> <hasInstance> <subjectdef keys="languageTypeKey"> <subjectdef keys="language-xml"> <topicmeta> <navtitle>XML Syntax Highlight</navtitle> </topicmeta> </subjectdef> <subjectdef keys="language-css"> <topicmeta> <navtitle>CSS Syntax Highlight</navtitle> </topicmeta> </subjectdef> </subjectdef> </hasInstance> <enumerationdef> <elementdef name="codeblock"/> <attributedef name="outputclass"/> <subjectdef keyref="languageTypeKey"/> </enumerationdef> </subjectScheme>then you can refer to it from your main DITA Map like:<topicref href="controlledValues.ditamap" format="ditamap" type="subjectScheme"/> If the attributes on which you want to impose certain values are DITA profiling attributes, you can go to the Oxygen Preferences->Editor / Edit modes / Author / Profiling/Conditional Text page and define the set of allowed values for them. The only problem with the first approach is the fact that validation will not impose those values and writers will not receive validation error messages if they set another value for the specific attribute. So you will probably need to add a Schematron check in order to signal errors when a certain attribute's value does not match the list of controlled attribute values. For both the second and third approaches, validation will warn the writers if certain attribute values do not match values in the controller values list. -- You are subscribed to email updates from "About oXygen XML Editor."

Possible standalone WebDAV client with oXygen?
by David Sewell 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

I and a couple of other people in my department often need to read and write files via WebDAV connections (specifically, to MarkLogic's WebDAV server interface to its database). We all use OS X as our platform, and we have often found that the built-in WebDAV mounting support in OS X Finder is unreliable. We have used an alternative standalone client (Transmission), but lately it has had some performance problems as well. The internal WebDAV client within oXygen has always been solidly reliable. Is there any chance that it could be bundled or sold separately as a standalone WebDAV client? Would other oXygen users find that useful? (Or does anyone have suggestions about other OS X WebDAV clients to try?)

Problems with copy and paste from Firfox
by Sascha Manns 10 Jul '15

10 Jul '15

Hello List, actually i'm writing with XML-Editor a document. Sometimes i'm using copy and paste from Firefox to XML-Editor in Author-Mode. The problem is, after STRG+V the text is inserted on the wished place, but the umlauts are broken. So the german word "Beträge" looks like "Betrýge". I've seen in the sourcecode of the website UTF-8 is set as charset. Inside the XML Editors settings i have set: Fallback Charset: UTF-8. Also my docbook file begins with: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>. So i don't understand why this broken char happens. Maybe anyone knows more?

Defect in SVG viewer
by Timothy Reaves 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

I created an SVG document with - I believe - a version of oXygen in the 15.x series, about two years ago. I just opened it in oXygen to edit it, and it no longer renders correctly in oXygen. In the Mac Finder, Safari, and Firefox, it still does render correctly. Are there any known defects? If not, whom should I send the SVG to to create a defect report? Thanks.

Whitespace-only text nodes in XSLT
by Wendell Piez 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Hi, Given this stylesheet: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" exclude-result-prefixes="xs" version="2.0"> <xsl:variable name="mixed" as="element()"> <mixed>Here is mixed content, including <one>children</one> <two>with nothing</two> but whitespace between them.</mixed> </xsl:variable> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="$mixed"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="node() | @*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> I run it on itself in oXygen, and get <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><mixed>Here is mixed content, including <one>children</one><two>with nothing</two> but whitespace between them.</mixed> I would expect whitespace between the </one><two>. What am I missing? Have things changed wrt whitespace-handling rules? (As I see it, the temporary tree $mixed should contain a whitespace-only text node between the 'one' and 'two' elements.)

Oh icon my icon!
by Syd Bauman 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Apologies if this is a FAQ. I'm working on some "do this in oXygen" documentation, and would like to show the reader which button to click, e.g., for configuring a transformation scenario. I could, of course, use my computer's capture-a-snippet-of- the-screen utility. But it seems better (IMHO) to just use the original graphic, if readily available. Where in my oXygen/ directory would I find the icons? (I'm looking in version 16 either in Mac OS X or in GNU/Linux -- I don't have easy access to a Windows machine w/ oXygen.) (And yes, I use version 17, but this documentation is aimed at users of v 16. :-) Thanks.

Add static function name list for auto-completion in XQuery
by Florent Georges 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hi, Is there any way, in oXygen, to augment the list of function names to use for auto-completion when in an XQuery editor? Basically, a processor can add any function to the static context. So some functions can be called in a module (so should be available for code completion), even with no corresponding import statement. I have such a list of extra functions I would like to be available in oXygen when I write XQuery code (not to be evaluated, just for writing code). The ideal solution woud not require having any specific scenario nor processor "attached" to the file. Is this possible? Regards, -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/http://h2oconsulting.be/

I wonder whether it might be possible to use checkboxes instead of a single selection, so that users could combine profiles selectively according to their specific needs. I also wonder, though, about the possibility of associating a CSS profile in <oXygen/> with a specific CSS stylesheet document, that is, at finer granularity than is available through project-level or global preferences. I have a project that uses multiple stylesheets, some that contain just HTML5 selectors and some that mix HTML5 selectors with SVG selectors. I can put those stylesheets in different projects and specify different CSS profiles that way, but they really belong in the same project for other reasons, and in the non-SVG CSS files I'd want to raise an error if, for example, I specify a "width" value as a non-zero number without a unit of measurement, although that wouldn't be an error in an SVG context. This organization would be analogous to having different schemas for different XML documents in the project; here there would be different CSS profiles for different CSS documents in the project. I realize that there are other complications (e.g., validating inline or otherwise embedded CSS within an XML document), though, so I'm not sure how practical this idea would turn out to be.

Validating CSS
by David Birnbaum 25 May '15

Dear <oXygen/> user list, I have an HTML5 document (XML syntax) with inline SVG and I'd like to associate a single external stylesheet with it that specifies both CSS3 and SVG properties. The <oXygen/> documentation at http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/17.0/ug-author/index.html#topics/pref…, which matches what I see in my configuration options, seems willing to allow me to select CSS3 or SVG, but not both simultaneously. Is there a way to obtain the sort of validation I'm looking for? I can choose CSS3 in the option menu and ignore the error messages for the SVG properties, but I'd rather have the benefit of validating both. Thanks, David

Custom placeholders for empty elements?
by Richard Forster 22 May '15

22 May '15

Hello List Is there a way of customizing the placeholders shown in Oxygen Author view for empty elements? >From the shelf the system just repeats the tag name on gray background. As soon as I start typing something into the element, the placeholder disappears. What I would like to have is the same behavior but with a custom string/instructions being shown instead of the tagname. Is this possible? Best regards Richard
