Feature request: "Replace" vs. "Replace and Find Next"
by David Sewell 29 May '14

29 May '14

I wonder if other oXygen users would find this enhancement useful: In the Find/Replace dialogue, instead of two buttons: [Find] [Replace] have three buttons, perhaps called [Find] [Replace] [Replace and Find Next] "Replace and Find Next" would have the identical behavior that the existing Replace button has. But the "Replace" button would do the replacement and stay on the current line. The rationale: very often, when constructing a complex regular expression replacement, I want to be sure that the replacement does what I want. If I just hit "Replace", the cursor moves to the next occurrence (if there is one). So it is necessary to do one of these two things: 1) do the replacement, then do Undo to get back to the replacement line, then Redo to see the replacement; or 2) toggle "Only selected lines" before doing the replacement, then change it back to "All" to continue replacing Having the additional button would remove the need for one of those steps. I realize that this would be a rather big UI change and might possibly confuse people, but I thought I would see whether anyone else agrees, David -- David Sewell, Editorial and Technical Manager ROTUNDA, The University of Virginia Press PO Box 400314, Charlottesville, VA 22904-4314 USA Email: dsewell(a)virginia.edu Tel: +1 434 924 9973 Web: http://rotunda.upress.virginia.edu/

[ann] oXygen version 16 is available
by George Cristian Bina 23 May '14

23 May '14

Hi all, I am happy to let you know that oXygen XML Editor version 16 is available from our website: http://www.oxygenxml.com The new version introduces quick fix support and implements quick fixes for the XSLT editor. We expect the support to be extended in the following releases to cover other editors like XML Schema, Relax NG, etc. and also XML itself. A very interesting work in this area is the Schematron quick fixes that will allow a Schematron schema author not only to provide human readable error messages but also a set of actions to allow users to fix the identified issue, for details please see http://www.w3.org/community/quickfix/. In the meanwhile you can get an idea on how XSLT quick fixes work in oXygen 16 in this short video http://oxygenxml.com/demo/XSLT_Quick_Fix_Support.html The Ant editor is also a very important addition in oXygen 16. If you work with Ant scripts give oXygen 16 a try. You can even edit Ant modules in context as we extended also the master files support to include Ant scripts. Here it is a short video that gives you an overview of the new Ant editing support http://oxygenxml.com/demo/Ant_Support.html XPath on multiple files is another nice addition in oXygen 16. You can select a scope in the XPath query field in the toolbar or in the XPath Builder view and the XPath expression will be executed on all the files selected by that scope. Predefined scopes include all open files, current project selection, all project files and you can also define your custom working sets. On the XML authoring we added better support for working with conditional content by allowing you to define colors and styles for specific profiling conditions and then apply those automatically to you can easily spot which part of the content goes to which deliverable. Also, when you focus on a specific deliverable you have the option to completely hide the content that is excluded from that. Here it is a video demo to show this in action http://oxygenxml.com/demo/Colors_and_Styles_for_Profiled_Content.html The oXygen WebHelp transformation from DITA and DocBook are very populat but a lot of users wanted to customize the styles of the WebHelp output. The new WebHelp skin builder allows to do that visually, see the demo at http://oxygenxml.com/demo/Skin_Builder.html or give it a try at http://oxygenxml.com/webhelp-skin-builder/ For the complete release notes please see http://oxygenxml.com/whatisnew16.0.html Best Regards, George -- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com

XInclude and Relax NG
by Tara Athan 23 May '14

23 May '14

I am using Version 14.2. I have a Relax NG schema that allows xi:include elements. But the validator does not appear to process the xi:include element prior to validation, as it does not pick up errors arising from the included file. I have checked Enable XInclude processing in the XML Parser settings. Is there anything else to do, or is this just not available (in my version)? Thanks, Tara

Inserting images via keyref - dialog requires Subtopic ID?
by Marsh, Ed 14 May '14

14 May '14

Hi there, I'm fairly new to oXygen, using v15.2. I'm having an issue trying to insert images that are referenced by keyref in a ditamap. If I insert the keyref in code view, the image appears fine, i.e. <image keyref="image-ref-keyname"> However, if I try to insert using the Insert Content Key Reference dialog, another dialog appears saying "Please select an element ID by pressing the Subtopic button". When I click the Subtopic button, no IDs appear. Is this expected behavior, or am I missing something? Thanks, Ed.

oXygen XSLT transformation scenario with -it:main and xsl:result-document
by David Sewell 07 May '14

07 May '14

I have a question about whether something in oXygen is a bug, or intended. Suppose I have an XSLT transformation that uses a named template as its initial template, and that writes output documents using xsl:result-document. When I configure a transformation scenario in oXygen, it seems that I need to declare a dummy output file using "Save as", or no output is written at all (despite the xsl:result-document instruction). In other words, I have to put something like Save as: dummy-out.xml and then xsl:result-document succeeds in writing output. Is this a bug or a feature?

Smart pasting from word
by Claudio Tubertini 06 May '14

06 May '14

I've experienced a strange behaviour in smart pasting from a word file produced from Adobe Acrobat PDF, Acrobat XI. Here is the strange result: <para>Polisensorialit à e d emozionalit à son o l e nuov e frontier e dell a comunicazione d’impresa . Ne i convegn i. [...] This should be <para>Polisensorialità ed emozionalità sono le nuove frontiere della comunicazione d’impresa. Nei convegni. [...] As you can see there are white spaces inserted into words without any clear rule. This file can be used only after human correction making smart pasting substantially useless. Is there a solution to this problem? Best regards Claudio Tubertini

combining oxy_editor with oxy_attributes()?
by Madlik, Monika (LNG-VIE) 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Hello, I use Oxygen XML Editor 15.2 and wanted to create an easy to handle Author-View for my Colleagues. Therefore I wanted to output the names of the elements and all used attributes. It was OK with this code: content: "<" local-name() oxy_attributes() ">"; Then I discovered the really cool oxy_editor()-function! Is it possible to combine these two functions, so that I get all attributes of an element and tell them to be a combobox or a textfield or a …?

Direct XML presentation?
by George Cristian Bina 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

Hello, Markus Wiedenmaier shows a new way of using the oXygen XML Author - as a presentation tool: http://youtu.be/EwpRYbDVGQw I really like the idea of presenting the XML directly from the oXygen XML Author and it will be great to have an alternate CSS for DocBook, DITA, XHTML, etc. that will switch the oXygen XML Author in a presentation mode so you can navigate though different sections of the document. Thanks Markus! Best Regards, George -- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com

recursive author actions
by Andreas Wagner 03 Apr '14

03 Apr '14

Dear all, I have an author mode action which I want to behave recursively, but this does not seem to work. Can I do something about it? Here is my action/use case: I want to edit TEI xml documents and add expansions to abbreviations. When I select a text and trigger my action, it surrounds the selected text with an <abbr/> element, adds an <expan/> element the content of which is queried in a dialogue box, and surrounds both of these elements with a <choice/> element. Now, when someone has edited the document before and has marked something as being an abbreviation, but has not noted its expansion, the selected text already is an <abbr/> element. Using a second action mode and the ExecuteMultipleActionsOperation, I want to catch this, strip the <abbr/> and re-add it along with the whole rest of the construct. I know that this is not how to handle such action definitions best, but rather than explaining what I have inserted in which dialogue field, I post what the action looks like in the framework file (well, somewhat - I have left out some parameters): <action> <field name="id"> <String>choice abbr+expan</String> </field> ... <field name="actionModes"> <actionMode-array> <actionMode> <field name="xpathCondition"> <String>*:abbr</String> </field> <field name="argValues"> <map> <entry> <String>actionIDs</String> <String>abbr.dontask choice abbr+expan</String> </entry> </map> </field> <field name="operationID"> <String>ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.ExecuteMultipleActionsOperation</String> </field> </actionMode> <actionMode> <field name="xpathCondition"> <String></String> </field> <field name="argValues"> <map> <entry> <String>fragment</String> <String><choice xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"><abbr></abbr><expan>${ask('Expansion?', generic)}</expan></choice></String> </entry> </map> </field> <field name="operationID"> <String>ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.SurroundWithFragmentOperation</String> </field> </actionMode> </actionMode-array> </field> </action> (The abbr.dontask action toggles (i.e. removes in this case) the surrounding abbr element; and when I use another action in the MultipleActions above (say, choice orig+reg), it works fine. It only fails to call itself, it seems.) Thank you for any hint.

Strategies for preserving Java settings when upgrading oXygen?
by David Sewell 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Because I often work with large XML files, I need to modify the default Java settings for oXygen to allow more maximum memory (-Xmx4096m instead of the default 1024 usually). In the Mac environment, this is easy to do by editing the Info.plist file, but I always forget to do it when I upgrade oXygen and only discover it when opening a large file causes problems. Does anyone have a (semi-)automated way to preserve settings like this, or should I just try to remember? (I could put a file in the oXygen directory called "000_REMEMBER_TO_INCREASE_JAVA_MEMORY.txt" !)

An example of xd documentation in xquery?
by Steven Anderson 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

I'm doing a bit of xquery work and I want to take advantage of the excellent xd documentation facilities but I don't see an example of how to add the content to an xquery document. In a new XSLT document I know I need to add the namespace, then I can go and add <xd:doc> elements, but in XQuery I don't know how to do the equivalent. Can someone share an example xquery file with embedded doc? Thanks, Steve
