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.) Thanks for any insights, Wendell -- Wendell Piez | http://www.wendellpiez.com XML | XSLT | electronic publishing Eat Your Vegetables _____oo_________o_o___ooooo____ooooooo_^

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.

DITA workshops using oXygen XML Editor
by George Bina 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hi all, Comtech Services, the company that organizes the DITA North America and DITA Europe conferences organizes also a number of DITA workshops and they use oXygen XML Editor to complete the different exercises, so these workshops may be a good opportunity to learn DITA and the oXygen DITA functionality. Here it is a description from Comtech Services of available workshops: *** DITA Getting Started: July 21-22 in Wakefield, MA This workshop is designed as an introduction to Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA). During the workshop you will learn to design and create information using a topic/task-based structured-authoring approach. You will also learn how to use XML markup with DITA elements and the importance of the DITA elements to information development. Optimizing the DITA Authoring Experience: July 23-24 in Wakefield, MA In this workshop, you are guided through the process of customizing your authoring environment using each of the following technologies: shells, specializations, constraints, templates, subject scheme maps, and publishing scenarios. With ample time for applying what you have learned, you will leave the workshop with the necessary tools to optimize the authoring experience for your authoring team. Advanced Publishing for DITA: August 3-7 in San Jose, CA In this workshop, attendees are provided a walk-through of the essential DITA fundamentals, programming skills, and DITA Open Toolkit configurations required to assemble, style, and publish DITA XML source. After a brief overview of the DITA framework, course lectures and exercises will focus on the key pieces of a DITA publishing architecture, how to set it up, and how to optimize its publishing capabilities using customizations and plug-ins. Attendees will learn to set up a publishing architecture using the pipeline provided by the DITA-OT and learn how to configure and debug the DITA-OT. For more information visit Comtech Services web site at http://comtech-serv.com/url/upcoming or contact Comtach Services at 303-232-7586. *** Best Regards, George -- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com

Plain '<' and '>' in reported Schematron messages?
by Tony Graham 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

Is there a way to un-escape '<' and '>' in the messages reported from Schematron validation? For example, this <report>: <report test="local-name($expression) = 'Empty'" role="Warning">'background-color=""' should be '<color> | transparent | inherit'.</report> produces: 'background-color=""' should be '<color> | transparent | inherit'. but the message in the 'Errors' window would be easier to read if it was: 'background-color=""' should be '<color> | transparent | inherit'.

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/

Using fonts in Oxygen Author mode
by scott ashmead 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

Hi, I've installed some fonts for some foreign languages. When I view content in the Oxygen editor in "Author" mode, the characters appear as squares instead of the foreign language characters. Can you please tell me what would be needed to have the correct characters display in the editor instead of squares? These are fonts for ancient languages such as Syriac. Thank you for your help!Scott

Validating CSS
by David Birnbaum 27 May '15

27 May '15

Dear Alex (cc oxygen-user list), Thank you for the quick response. 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. Best, David > Currently there is no solution to this problem. I will ad an issue to > find a solution to such a situation.

Validating CSS
by David Birnbaum 25 May '15

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

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

About oXygen XML Editor /////////////////////////////////////////// Schematron Checks to help Technical Writing Posted: 21 May 2015 03:56 AM PDT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AboutOxygenXmlEditor/~3/eQSoXbR5Vjg/schematr… The Oxygen XML Editor User's Manual is written in DITA. In an older post I described in more detail how we collaborate internally on our User's Guide Project. And we also made available a copy of our User's Manual as a project on GitHub. During these years on working on it, we progressively developed a set of simple rules which were originally kept in a plain text document. The problem is that nobody can really remember all these rules when actually writing. So recently we started to migrate these rules to Schematron and have them reported automatically has validation warnings and errors while editing the topics. And with the release of Oxygen 17 we can now also add quick fixes for each of these problems. So below I will try to tell you what each rule imposes and what it's Schematron implementation looks like. If you want to quickly test these rules on your side, you can add them to the Schematron file which is used by default to validate DITA topics located in: OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/dita/resources/dita-1.2-for-xslt2-mandatory.sch. Try as much as possible to add at least an indexterm element in each topic. This is useful when the Index page is created for the PDF output or the Index tab is created for the WebHelp output. As this is not a requirement, we wanted to report this issue as an error. The end result looks like this: And the Schematron pattern looks like this:<pattern xmlns:sqf="http://www.schematron-quickfix.com/validator/process"> <rule context="/*"> <assert test="prolog/metadata/keywords/indexterm" role="warn" sqf:fix="addFragment"> It is recommended to add an 'indexterm' in the current '<name/>' element. </assert>  <sqf:fix id="addFragment"> <sqf:description> <sqf:title>Add the 'indexterm' element</sqf:title> </sqf:description> <sqf:add match="(title | titlealts | abstract | shortdesc)[last()]" position="after" use-when="not(prolog)"> <prolog xmlns=""><metadata><keywords><indexterm> </indexterm></keywords> </metadata></prolog> </sqf:add> </sqf:fix> </rule> </pattern> The ID of each topic must be equal to the file name (minus the extension). One of the outputs we produce (I think CHM) had a limitation when building the context mapping between help IDs and actual HTML content so this was an important rule for us, thus an error is reported on this. Also a quick fix is added to auto-correct the topic ID based on the file name. The end result looks like this: and the Schematron pattern is: <sch:pattern> <sch:rule context="/*[1][contains(@class, ' topic/topic ')]"> <sch:let name="reqId" value="replace(tokenize(document-uri(/), '/')[last()], '\.dita', '')"/> <sch:assert test="@id = $reqId" sqf:fix="setId"> Topic ID must be equal to file name. </sch:assert> <sqf:fix id="setId"> <sqf:description> <sqf:title>Set "<sch:value-of select="$reqId"/>" as a topic ID</sqf:title> <sqf:p>The topic ID must be equal to the file name.</sqf:p> </sqf:description> <sqf:replace match="@id" node-type="attribute" target="id" select="$reqId"/> </sqf:fix> </sch:rule> </sch:pattern> Report when plain links or related links to web resources have the same text inside them as the value of the @href attribute. We had cases in which writers would input web links like this:<xref href="http://www.google.com" format="html" scope="external">http://www.google.com</xref>which is redundant because when you set no text to the link, the publishing uses the @href attribute value as the link text. So we wanted to report such cases as warnings and to have a quick fix which removes the link text: The Schematron pattern looks like this:<sch:pattern> <sch:rule context="*[contains(@class, ' topic/xref ') or contains(@class, ' topic/link ')]"> <sch:report test="@scope='external' and @href=text()" sqf:fix="removeText"> Link text is same as @href attribute value. Please remove. </sch:report> <sqf:fix id="removeText"> <sqf:description> <sqf:title>Remove redundant link text, text is same as @href value.</sqf:title> </sqf:description> <sqf:delete match="text()"/> </sqf:fix> </sch:rule> </sch:pattern> Avoid using the @scale attribute on images. We wanted to smooth scale images in an external image editor so it was prohibited to use the @scale attribute on images. The Schematron pattern for this:<pattern> <rule context="*[contains(@class, ' topic/image ')]"> <assert test="not(@scale)"> Dynamically scaled images are not properly displayed, you should scale the image with an image tool and keep it within the recommended with and height limits. </assert> </rule> </pattern> We have an upcoming webinar dedicated to Schematron Quick Fixes. There is a W3C working group for XML Quick Fixes and you calso read the SQF Quick Fix specification if you want to become more familiar with the technology. We also have a GitHub project which tries to combine the notion of a style guide for writing documentation inside a company with a very simple manner of defining checks which can be applied to impose the styleguide rules. I would be interested in your feedback, especially if you have checks that you perform right now on your content and you consider that they might benefit others. -- You are subscribed to email updates from "About oXygen XML Editor."

Default zoom factor in oXygen XML Editor 17
by Yves Barbion 21 May '15

21 May '15

Hi group Is there a way to reset or revert to the default zoom factor in oXygen XML Editor 17? In one of the DITA topics I was editing, I zoomed in to, say 150 % (or something). I did so by holding down the CTRL key and using the scroll wheel on my mouse. Every topic I open or create from now on seems to be displayed at this zoom factor. I have tried to reset my "layout" (workspace) and to quit and restart oXygen, but that does not seem to help. I also looked up "zoom" in the oXygen preferences and in the Help file, but I didn't find anything relevant there. Thanks. -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu

Opening dialog boxes from xslt - It works!
by Patrik.Stellmann＠gdv-dl.de 20 May '15

20 May '15

Hi, I lately implemented custom saxon instructions that allow to create a message boxes or option dialogs from within an XSLT script. Since it turned out to be pretty easy to implement and very useful within my framework, I just wanted to share this idea - and the joy over oxygen, that even this is possible. One use-cases would be a transformation that potentially overwrites an existing file and asks the user before doing so (if the file already exists). The code looks like this: <xsl:if test="java:fileExists($myFile)"> <xsl:variable name="userDecision" as="xs:integer"> <gui:option-dialog title="Warning" options= "('Continue', 'Abort')" default="1"> <xsl:text/>The file '<xsl:value-of select= "$myFile"/>' already exists and will be overwritten.<xsl:text/> </gui:option-dialog> </xsl:variable> <xsl:if test="$userDecision = 1"> <xsl:message terminate="yes">Abort on user request </xsl:message> </xsl:if> </xsl:if> To implement such extension instructions you will have to implement your own java library and put it into oxygens lib folder. To do so follow the saxon documentation at http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/#!extensibility/instructions and - much more important - look at the sample of Saxon-SQL, which is included in the open source edition of saxon: http://sourceforge.net/projects/saxon/files/Saxon-HE/) Make sure to use the same version as included into oxygen! To open the actual dialog you can use something like JOptionPane.showOptionDialog( (Frame)PluginWorkspaceProvider.getPluginWorkspace ().getParentFrame(), textString, titleString, (optionList.size() == 2) ? JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION : JOptionPane.YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION, JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE, null, optionList.toArray(new String[optionList.size()]), defaultOption); (If someone should be interested - I will also gladly share my java code.) There is also an entry in the forum for this: http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/topic11531.html Regards, Patrik GDV Dienstleistungs-GmbH & Co.

Go to or search a particular line from command prompt
by Andreas Wagner 12 May '15

12 May '15

Hi list, we are currently exploring ways to establish a semi-automatic workflow for post-digitization tasks with TEI files. An external tool will generate lists of unknown words along with a value that uniquely identifies the line that the respective word is in, so I would like to be able to make oxygen go to the relevant line easily while still working in that list. (I am currently thinking along the lines of hyperlinks, or office macros in the list/spreadsheet.) Can I pass an action like "open file xy and go to line number yz" or "open file xy and search for string 'yz'" to oxygen as a commandline option (like 'vim +yz xy' or 'vim +/yz xy')? Of course I am also open to alternative approaches, although I suppose coding an oXygen plugin in java for that purpose surpasses my abilities. Thanks for any pointers, Andreas -- Dr. Andreas Wagner Project "The School of Salamanca" Academy of Sciences and Literature, Mainz and Institute of Philosophy Goethe University Frankfurt http://salamanca.adwmainz.de IGF HP 25 / R 2.455 Norbert-Wollheim-Platz 1 60629 Frankfurt am Main Tel. +49 (0)69/798-32774 Fax +49 (0)69/798-32794

oXygen XML Editor 17 support for DITA-OT 2.1?
by Jim Henderson 11 May '15

11 May '15

Hi, Really loving oXygen 17 here after just a week of use - the changes to the webhelp transformation (particularly the ability to embed the output in an iframe) is something that arrived at a perfect time for me, as I was in the middle of trying to figure out how to add our corporate header/footer to the output, and this made it much simpler. Something that we're getting ready to start doing is incorporating content written by non-writers - support staff and software developers. With the changes in DITA-OT coming up and the support for Commonmark, we've decided to leverage those capabilities to simplify our processes. I know oXygen 17 has support for DITA-OT 2.0, but I'm wondering if that support extends to 2.1, which is required to use the dita-ot-markdown plugin. As a secondary question, does anyone know of a transformation to get from DITA to Commonmark?

Re: [oXygen-user] Feature request: Improvement of Japanese search for WebHelp

Thanks for the quick turnaround. As a related but side note, I'm thinking to add to WebHelp a simple fuzzy query matching/scoring based on the Levenshtein distance ratio between the query and the index. Have you considered it in the past? I thought you might have considered it, as it would benefit not only Far Eastern cultures but probably also Western cultures. (albeit some Western's have the stemmer in WebHelp) Thanks, T.

selecting multiple attribute values
by Yves Barbion 08 May '15

08 May '15

Hi group I have just installed oXygen XML Editor 17 and I love it! Great work again from the guys from Syncro Soft. Thanks! So here is my first question: I've got a ditamap with a subjectscheme map, so my attribute values are displayed in a drop-down list in the Attributes pane. Is there a way to select multiple attribute values in this drop-down list? [image: Inline image 1] Thanks -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu
