Generating IDs on DITA maps
by Mark Giffin 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

Is there a way to get Oxygen to generate an ID for a new DITA map? It already does this for topics. Also, is there a way to batch generate IDs for a whole group of XML files, like those in a DITA map? I see info on things like "Managing ID/IDREFS" in the help, but that seems to apply to something else. Thanks, Mark

Re: [oXygen-user] Feature request: Improvement of Japanese search for WebHelp
by T. Hatanaka 14 Apr '15

14 Apr '15

Let me revive this old thread. Could you reconsider this? As already said, the Japanese text has no explicit word breakers. It's something like "THEQUICKBROWNFOXJUMPSOVERTHELAZYDOG." The current WebHelp implementation is tokenizing it into "TH" "HE" "EQ" "QU" "UI" "IC" "CK"... both at build-time and run-time. It works to some extent, but not quite comfortable. That's why analyzers such as Kuromoji are most welcome. And, to deliver fully capable search experience, WebHelp requires both build-time and run-time analyzers, as you pointed out. That being said, it would still benefit a lot to integrate sophisticated analyzers, even if it's only at build-time. Run-time ones are less required, I guess. When the Japanese people search Web, they, human beings, usually perform a kind of tokenization and normalization by themselves. i.e. They do not usually enter "BROWNFOXJUMPS" in the search text box. In most cases we can expect them to type "BROWN FOX JUMP". Actually "Please enter keywords separated by spaces" has been a common instruction found on the Japanese search UI. People have got used to it. So I guess that if the index were created by a sophisticated analyzer at build-time with custom dictionaries, we could improve search experience a lot with relatively minor tweaks in run-time JavaScript. Here's another piece of news: Kuromoji has been ported to JavaScript: https://github.com/takuyaa/kuromoji.js I haven't tried it, but expect some difficulties. I heard it required a 17MB dictionary. Thanks, T. Hatanaka -----Original Message----- From: oxygen-user-bounces(a)oxygenxml.com [mailto:oxygen-user-bounces@oxygenxml.com] On Behalf Of Sorin Ristache Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2013 6:09 PM To: Naoki Hirai Cc: oXygen-user(a)oxygenxml.com Subject: Re: [oXygen-user] Feature request: Improvement of Japanese search for WebHelp Dear Naoki-san, The Webhelp content indexer is indeed based on the Lucene engine just like the Kuromoji morphological analyzer, so delegating the task of indexing any Japanese content at build time (when the Webhelp pages are created by the Oxygen Webhelp transformation) to the Kuromoji analyzer is doable. However the Webhelp search is performed at runtime on the client side, with JavaScript code running on the machine where the Webhelp search is executed in the browser, not on the server side, where the Webhelp pages are stored. The difficulty in integrating an analyzer that deals with a specific language sentence morphology like the Kuromoji analyzer comes from the lack of an equivalent JavaScript analyzer that is able to split the search string entered by the user into the morphological components recognized by the Lucene-based morphological analyzer that built the index database at build time. I did a Google search but I could not identify a client side JavaScript solution for a Japanese morphological analyzer. If you can suggest such a solution we would surely consider it as a future improvement for the Webhelp search.

[Ann] focheck - Validate XSL-FO and Antenna House extensions in oXygen or standalone
by Tony Graham 14 Apr '15

14 Apr '15

Antenna House is pleased to announce the availability of 'focheck' as an add-on oXygen framework for validating XSL-FO and Antenna House extensions. 'focheck' bundles a Relax NG schema and a Schematron grammar in an oXygen framework for detailed validation of XSL-FO within oXygen XML Editor. You can, of course, also use the 'focheck' Relax NG and Schematron outside of oXygen, either together or separately. The Relax NG handles structural validation and the Schematron handles the additional constraints that cannot be expressed in Relax NG. The Schematron parses property value expressions using an XSLT-based parser generated by the REx parser generator plus an XSLT library for reducing the parse tree to XSL-FO datatypes. 'focheck' is available on GitHub at https://github.com/AntennaHouse/focheck. If you want to go straight to installing it as an add-on, the Update Site URL to use is https://github.com/AntennaHouse/focheck/raw/master/add-on.xml 'focheck' is a work in progress. It does not (yet) handle every XSL-FO property or every requirement in the XSL-FO spec, nor does it evaluate either functions or relative lengths. Pull requests and new issues are welcome. I will also be talking about 'focheck' at XML London 2015 in June. [1] And, of course, thanks go to the folks at Oxygen XML Editor Support for helping with some of the issues encountered. 'focheck' is open source licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.

Dear oXygen team, This popped up today and I thought it would be cool if you could implement it (maybe in v17.1, if it is to much for v17): It would be nice if the XPath auto completion would know the following keywords and operators: - except - intersect - union - some - every - in* - satisfies* - if - then* - else* - for - return* - or - and - instance of - castable as ...did I missed one? *depending on the required keywords before Best Regards and thanks for v17 beta!

Toolbar action for specific transformation scenario?

Is it possible to configure a toolbar action that will run a specific transformation scenario from the current framework? It's possible to make one scenario the default scenario, I know, but I'm looking at providing multiple transformation scenarios, and I'd prefer it if the eventual users could choose their actions without even having to go to the trouble of selecting and unselecting items in the 'Transformation Scenarios' view, if that's possible.

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?

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

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
by Steve Bass 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

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.
