DiffCompare and Oxygen editor
by Shannon 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

Hi, when I save an edit in Diff Files of a file open in an Oxygen editor, it is supposed to automatically refresh the document? In my particular case just now it didn’t. Caused some confusion. I closed and reopened the file manually in order to see the changes reflected. The editor asks if the user wants to reload the document if it’s changed in the file system, is it possible to automate and/or detect changes from Diff Files, especially considering the input file is selected from the list of documents currently open in Oxygen? Best, Shannon

Distributing Dita filters in Oxygen 15.2
by Nathan 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

Hi, We use Oxygen 15.2 and distribute dita filters via the default-options.xml file to our writers (using the global option). But whenever there is an update to this file and the file is imported by our writers, it wipes out the writers preset options. Is there any way of retaining the authoring presets of the writers while allowing for us to keep distributing our dita filters this way? It would be great if there is a default-options.xml file where we have the filtering options and then a user-options.xml which can override some of the default options. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Nathan

Sort review comments by date?
by Tony Graham 06 Mar '15

06 Mar '15

Would it be possible/reasonable to be have the option to sort the comments in the 'Review' view by date? In a document with lots of comments, I want to easily find the latest ones. I can restrict the visible comments to just those from my reviewer and then scroll down the shorter list looking for recent dates, but when the comment is just "Okay", I then need to re-enable my own comments to see what was okayed. I also note that I can't search the 'Review' view by date. Regards, Tony Graham. -- Senior Architect XML Division Antenna House, Inc. ---- Skerries, Ireland tgraham(a)antenna.co.jp

interrupting and restarting an external tool script
by Tara Athan 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

I use bash scripts to run validation tests and build artifacts (I have an external tool called "build" that simply starts the bash script that has focus in the editor). I have noticed that if I start a script when another is running, there will be a failure of the first script, but then I am unable to successfully start any other script. It will return with error code 0, but not actually do anything. Is there a clean way to kill a script that is started in this fashion? Thanks, Tara

How to Search on Characters by Character Code?
by Eliot Kimber 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

Occasionally I need to search for specific Unicode characters, often characters that are not visible (for example, I just had an issue with character \u009D, (a control character that would normally never occur in a real XML document). I realized that I don't know how or if there's a direct way to search using character code. I worked around it by putting  in an XML file, switching to Author mode, then copying the character and using that for search, but surely there's an easier way?

Re: [oXygen-user] count objects in ditamaps?
by Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu) 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

Hi Roderik, This looks quite hard to properly implement. You could probably use our StylesFilter API from a plugin: > http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/#concepts/stylesfilter-plugin.html to dynamically add some static content before each image and table title. But you would still need to somehow compute that counter for each figure and title so you would need to go over the entire list of topics referenced in the DITA Map and count all occurrences of figures and titles which are before the ones from the current edited DITA topic. This would take a lot of time so you would need to somehow create a cache and update it when topics are edited and saved. And a topic can be referenced multiple times in the DITA Map, what counter number would you compute for figures and tables inside it?

xproc vs xslt
by Patrik.Stellmann＠gdv-dl.de 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

Hi, after some (more or less successful) experiments with xproc I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to implement everything in xslt and add the missing steps (for instance fop and schematron validation) as custom extension elements written in java. My argumentation: - Calling xslt from xproc you can only use string parameters (trying to fill in for instance a boolean parameter will result in conversion error) - The integration of xslt into oxygen "feels" much more advanced than that of xproc. - Direct output of messages from xslt (for debugging and logging with a link to the code that caused the output). (Running an xslt from xproc the xslt messages are not visible at all.) - I will have to add some custom extension written in java anyway. (So learning how to do it will be necessary in both cases.) Does anyone have more experience with xproc and could maybe add some arguments for or against xproc? Thanks and regards, Patrik GDV Dienstleistungs-GmbH & Co.

oXygen users meetup @ XML Prague
by George Bina 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Hi all, If you plan to attend XML Prague next week please consider joining us at the oXygen users meetup in the pre-conference day: http://oxygenxml.com/events/2015/oXygen-user-meetup-Prague.html The oXygen meetup is collocated with Saxonica users meetup so the day starts with a Saxon session where you can meet Michael Kay and other Saxonica developers, find the current status of Saxonica products and ask questions about Saxon. We follow with 2 very interesting sessions, in the first one Radu Pisoi will cover possibilities to refactor XML using XSLT and XQuery updates as technology but though an easy to use interface and Octavian Nadolu will show quick fixes for XSLT and XML, including Schematron Quick Fixes where we have invited also Nico Kutscherauer who initiated the Schematron Quick Fixes idea. After lunch, we have another guest, Claudius Teodorescu, who will present an interesting way of creating oXygen frameworks - a project that allows defining frameworks with XQuery + HTML + CSS and then it generates all the oXygen specific configuration files. Alex Jitianu will show how to create user-friendly interfaces to authoring XML documents where the document itself becomes the entire user interface and he will also preview some of the new functionality that will be available in the next release of oXygen. In the last part of the day I will show you where we are now with the web-based editing that we introduced last year at XML Prague - the oXygen WebApp and we will close the day with an open panel where you can see what are our plans for the future and ask the oXygen developers any questions you may have about oXygen. I am looking forward to meeting many of you there! Please register for the meetup at: http://oxygenxml.com/events/2015/oXygen-user-meetup-Prague.html#prague2015_… Best Regards, George -- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com

Webhelp ToC Icons

Does anyone have a suggestion on the "best" way to modify artifacts (xsl, js, css, others) so that we can have a unique icon image for DocBook elements: book, chapter, sect1, sect, 2, sect3 ... instead of open/closed books? Hopefully in a manner where we don't have to customize the shipping artifacts. We're using oXygen 16.1. --Steve Bass Washington Publishing Company

Separate colour for external parsed entity 'tags' in 'Author' mode?
by Tony Graham 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

Would you consider supporting a separate colour for the indicative 'tags' for the start and end of an external parsed entity that are shown when viewing all tags in 'Author' mode? The background does change, and there is the rather small icon, but there are sometimes three or more tags (real and indicative, combined) on the lines at the start and end of an external parsed entity.

Drop-down list of recently used DITAVAL files?
by Richard Forster 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

Hello Oxygen Team Is there an easy way of accessing recently used DITAVAL files in the transformation scenario settings? It would be great if the Filters tab of the transformation scenario settings had e.g. a drop-downlist next to the "Use DITAVAL file" box that would allow me to select from the last 10 or 12 DITAVAL files that I had been using. Or something similar... Thanks for considering!

Oxygen 16.1 - Marklogic debugging scenarios
by Frank Mortier 07 Jan '15

07 Jan '15

Dear all: I acquired Friday Oxygen 16.1 in order to debug a Marklogic application. I have encountered the same problem as Jacob in http://www.oxygenxml.com/pipermail/oxygen-user/2013-June/004698.html. The ML application uses the xqmvc framework whereby the main file is index.xqy, but the routing is provided by another module xqmvc.xqy, importing controller files which import modules. See e.g.: http://www.marklogic.com/blog/founders-online-lesson-performance/ and https://code.google.com/p/xqmvc/ I have been unsuccessfully testing various debugging scenarios yesterday, amongst others including all xqy files. I was also not able to debug a module in the basic framework. Related: what is the difference between using a validation scenario or a transformation scenario. I notice a difference between the documentation and the demo at http://www.oxygenxml.com/demo/XQueryDebuggerforMarkLogic.html Any suggestions? Frank

Re: [oXygen-user] Help with XPath -- SOLVED
by Mary Anthony 06 Dec '14

06 Dec '14

OK, I was able to solve this. My problem being that I forgot the varialbe_keywords.ditamap was not always *being processed* --- so it was an external file located in the temp output dir during processing. So, the solution is, set a path to the file:  <xsl:param name="PATH2PROJ"> <xsl:apply-templates select="/processing-instruction('path2project-uri')[1]" mode="get-path2project"/> </xsl:param> <xsl:param name="WORKDIR"> <xsl:apply-templates select="/processing-instruction('workdir-uri')[1]" mode="get-work-dir"/> </xsl:param> <xsl:variable name="VAR-FILE" select="concat($WORKDIR,$PATH2PROJ,'variable_keywords.ditamap')"/> Then use the doc() function to point to this external file: <xsl:comment> <xsl:value-of select="doc($VAR-FILE)/map/keydef[@keys='var_release_version']/topicmeta/keywords/keyword"/> </xsl:comment> If anyone knows a more elegant solution, feel free to post it back.

Format & Indent multiple files?
by Roger Sheen 25 Nov '14

25 Nov '14

I know this has been requested before, so I’m curious to hear whether a future oXygen version might include the ability to Format & Indent multiple files at once--perhaps via a context menu item in Project View? Until then, I’m looking for a way to batch format & indent multiple files & limit line width to a maximum value. It seems `xmllint --format` doesn’t provide a line width option. The context menu in Project View suggests I could apply a transformation scenario to a folder. Could this be used to achieve the same result, perhaps through some use of the saxon:line-length and saxon:indent-spaces options? Or is there a command I could run on the command line that would approximate the results of oXygen’s Format & Indent feature? Regards, Roger
