Improve Web Service support in <oXygen/>
by Oxygen XML Editor Support 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Hello, We want to improve the Web Services support in future versions of <oXygen/> . For the the next version we plan to improve the WSDL editing support: * we want to add a specialized Outliner for WSDL files. This Outline will present specific WSDL components such as: types, messages, services, port types, bindings, services; * for the content completion assistant we want to also present component references. For example if you invoke content completion on wsdl:input/@message('message' attribute of the 'input' element) all defined messages will be proposed; * improve WSDL documentation tool. Other features that we intend to implement in future versions are: * visual editor for WSDL; * support for WSDL 2.0; * SOAP debugger; * Web Service testing for SOAP/WSDL, REST; * support for Representational State Transfer (REST); * support for XML-RPC; Are you interested in one or more of these features? If you are, what is the order of the features you are most interested in? Do you have other feature requests for the Web Services support in <oXygen/>? In addition, we are trying to identify use cases for Web Services support. If you have a specific use case, please let us know. Regards, Radu Radu Pisoi <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com

tokenization problem
by Roderik Dernison 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

Hi, We want to tokenize natural language into xml. Each word and each punctuation mark needs to be put into an attribute of an xml element. But doing this, oXygen reports an error "not closing an xml tag". When I checked the output it seemded oXygen transforms " into a literal " and (even) " seems to be transformed that way. Is there a way to prevent oXygen from behaving this way? Kind regards, Roderik Dernison ________________________________ ---------------------------------------------------------- Aan dit bericht kunnen geen rechten worden ontleend.

Follow Up: Automatically add @type when a topicref is added to a DITA map (Oxygen XML Editor Support)
by Scott Barney 05 Feb '13

05 Feb '13

Hello: I've followed the thread about having the "type" attribute automatically populated by oXygen when a topicref is added - to include the discussions on whether it is the right thing to do from a theory perspective, how to check after the fact, and so on. My situation: - I have writers that are not full-time writers. They would like "type", "scope", and "format" to be auto-populated when they add a topicref or href. - If we don't add these, our transform process reports it as a warning or error. We are not allowed any warnings or errors in the transform log. - We have no control over the transform process. We have to use the tool as-is. Which leads me back to the original question: Can we set up oXygen such that when a topicref or href is added, we can get these attributes to auto-populate? If not now, is it a feature request? I half-expected it to be under Preferences >> Content Completion.

Result view for a plugin
by Florent Georges 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hi, I looked into the SDK documentation and the Javadoc, but I couldn't find how a plugin can open a new result view, to show the results/ errors/logs of an action in a way consistent with oXygen's own result views. Is this possible with a workspace access plugin? Regards, -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/ http://h2oconsulting.be/

Feature Request: Create Multiple Conrefs With One Selection
by Eliot Kimber 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

In my training development mentioned earlier, I'm making all my prerequisites and objectives reusable and then constructing all such lists in modules via conref. This requires a separate conref for each individual list item or lcObjective. The conkeyref creation dialog is easy enough to use, but it only lets me create one reference at a time (I'm not doing range references). It would be much more convenient if there was some way that I could select multiple targets and have it create an individual conref to each one. Not sure how you'd do that and make a clear distinction between creating a range reference and multiple single references, but it would be very convenient if it was possible.

Very minor complaint: @format set on maprefs when defaulted by topicref
by Eliot Kimber 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

When you create a topicref to a map using the "Create reference" facility in the Map Manager, the dialog automatically sets the @format value to "ditamap", which is, of course, required if you're using a generic topicref. However, if you then replace the generic topicref type with any form of map reference (e.g., <mapref>), the @format value continues to be set and will be set in the instance, even though it's now redundant with the default value set by the topicref element. It would be ideal if the system could detect that @format has the appropriate default value and unset the selection in the dialog so that unnecessary attributes are not set in the map.

Map Managed Icons for Map References
by Eliot Kimber 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

I'm going through the exercise of creating training materials. I'm using submaps to organize sessions and modules so I'm creating maps with lots of map references. One thing I'm noticing is that the icon for a map reference is the same as the icon for the map, which leads to kind of odd results in the map manager. I know that all the components have to be reflected in the tree: the map reference, the referenced map, and the map's child topicrefs, so there's no getting around what, conceptually, are redundant levels in the tree (relative to what will actually show up in the final table of contents). However, I think it might be clearer in the map manager if the map reference icon was distinguished from the map icon. Part of the oddness of the map manager view is that the when the submap has a title, which all of mine do, then the map reference node and the map node both reflect the same title, so you get: mapref: -> Module: My Module Title map: ---> Module: My Module Title Topicref------> My Module Title Where the title of the first topicref is often the same as or very similar to the map title (in my case, I'm using e.g. "Module: " in the map title for module maps but not in the title for the actual module root topic, so the map title and root topicref title differ only by "Module: ").

unicode support?
by David Birnbaum 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

Dear <oXygen/> support, I'm trying to case-fold some early Cyrillic text, which includes characters from the Unicode Cyrillic B range ( http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/UA640.pdf) and the lower-case() function does not seem to be returning what I expect. I am testing in the XPath browser box in <oXygen/> 14.1 (set to XPath 2.0), but I get the same results when performing an XSLT transformation using Saxon-PE 9.4.0.4. Input: string-to-codepoints('Ꙗ') Output (as expected): 42582 Input: string-to-codepoints(lower-case('Ꙗ')) Output (incorrect): 42582 That is, I get the same result when I process this upper-case letter regardless of whether I try to convert it to lower case. The lower-case counterpart of U+A656 is U+A657. The case mapping seems to be correct in the Unicode property table at http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt, where the relevant lines are: A656;CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER IOTIFIED A;Lu;0;L;;;;;N;;;;A657; A657;CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER IOTIFIED A;Ll;0;L;;;;;N;;;A656;;A656 For comparison (ASCII-range characters): Input: string-to-codepoints('A') Output (as expected): 65 Input: string-to-codepoints(lower-case('A')) Output (as expected): 97 It looks, then, as if the lower-case() function works properly on some Unicode characters, such as those in the ASCII range, but not on others, such as those in the Cyrillic B range. The Cyrillic B characters have been in Unicode since version 5.1.0 (April 4, 2008); Unicode is now at 6.2.0. Is this a bug (and if so, whose bug is it?), or are my expectations based on a misunderstanding? Thanks, David (djbpitt(a)gmail.com)

Odd behavior of position() in a predicate
by Mark Baker 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

Can anyone account for the behavior exhibited by the position function in a predicate in the following code sample: <xsl:variable name="x" select="'A', 'B', 'C'" as="xs:string*"/> <xsl:variable name="y" select="'a', 'b', 'c'" as="xs:string*"/> <xsl:for-each select="$x"> <xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()"/> <xsl:message select="position()"/> <xsl:message select="., $y[position()]"/> <xsl:message select="., $y[$pos]"/> </xsl:for-each> As the output below shows, when the value of position is stored in a variable and the variable is used in a predicate, you get what you would expect, the selection of a single item corresponding to the current position. But when position() is used directly in the predicate, it returns all the items in the sequence: [Saxon-PE] 1 [Saxon-PE] A a b c [Saxon-PE] A a [Saxon-PE] 2 [Saxon-PE] B a b c [Saxon-PE] B b [Saxon-PE] 3 [Saxon-PE] C a b c [Saxon-PE] C c Any ideas, or is this simply a bug?

I've tried: <xs:element name="wordgroup" > <xs:annotation> <xs:documentation>The actual words or sentence of an example.</xs:documentation> </xs:annotation> <xs:complexType> <xs:complexContent> <xs:extension base="wordgroup.class">  </xs:extension> </xs:complexContent> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:complexType name="wordgroup.class" mixed="true"> <xs:attributeGroup ref="wordgroup.attributes"/> </xs:complexType> <xs:attributeGroup name="wordgroup.attributes"> <xs:attribute name="type" type="wordgroup-type-att.class" default="unspecified"/> </xs:attributeGroup> <xs:simpleType name="wordgroup-type-att.class"> <xs:restriction base="xs:string"> <xs:enumeration value="unspecified" /> <xs:enumeration value="compoundpart" /> <xs:enumeration value="circumfix" /> <xs:enumeration value="infix" /> </xs:restriction> </xs:simpleType> But in this case, no value is set for the attribute "type". How can I manage to set a default attribute value that is also shown in oXygen? Kind regards, Ing.

Highlighting text between processing instructions.
by Michael Anthony Smith 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hi, I have read several previous posts on this topic, but still have some questions. Previous topics: http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/topic4909.html http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/topic6949.html http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/topic7103.html Using oXygen 14.1: I am able to write a custom StylesFilter that appropriately adjusts the colour highlighting of elements near processing instructions. I am also able to use the CSS form based editing (oxy_editor) to provide formatting and selection lists for elements. However, I have been unable to find a technique that allows the nodes between a <?oxy_custom_start?> and <?oxy_custom_end?> processing instruction to be accessed via CSS, rather than the AuthorPersistentHighlighter API. Is this possible? The problem with the element based approach is that this requires non-DITA (or other format specific doctype) elements to represent the additional information that we want to process. We would prefer to use processing instructions to contain this additional information, as this would not break the DITA validation. Ideally, we would like to be able to use the form based editing functionality with processing instructions (PIs), whilst the PIs are still hidden from view. Is it possible to 'link' a StyleFilter to the form based editing functionality through the API? Any suggestions welcome. Best regards.

I'd appreciate help figuring out why the schema below validates the following xml file even though it the id='3' is not unique. Regards, - Olumide --------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified"> <xs:element name="Item"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:choice> <xs:element name="a"> <xs:complexType> <xs:attribute name="id" use="required"/> </xs:complexType> <xs:unique name="uniqueId-a"> <xs:selector xpath="*"/> <xs:field xpath="@id"/> </xs:unique> </xs:element> <xs:element name="b"> <xs:complexType> <xs:attribute name="id" use="required"/> </xs:complexType> <xs:unique name="uniqueId-b"> <xs:selector xpath="*"/> <xs:field xpath="@id"/> </xs:unique> </xs:element> </xs:choice> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema> ---------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Item> <a id="3"/>  <a id="2"/> <b id="3"/>  <a id="4"/> <b id="0"/> <b id="3"/>  </Item>

Insert <image> workflow
by KAATMAN Matthew 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

Hello Everyone, This is probably something that is obvious, but there are two workflows for inserting an <image> tag: 1. DITA->Insert->Image - This pops up a URI box to select the image and then adds the tag with the href to the document. 2. From the elements list, select image - This adds the tag to the document. Is there a way to access the URI selection box if you use the 2nd workflow? I guess I'd like to either double click on the image tag to bring it up (currently does nothing). Alternatively/Additionally, when I select href in the attributes list I'd like it to pop up the URI selection. Am I missing an obvious way to do this? If not, is there any way I can configure this behavior? Thanks!

Automatically generating XML schemas using XSLT
by Olumide 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Hello, Following this tutorial (http://www.liquid-technologies.com/Tutorials/XmlSchemas/XsdTutorial_04.aspx -- don't worry, I use Oxygen ;-) ) I've refactored my 733 line schema into 16 separate files or sub-schemas, each with its own namespace. Now the top level schema is just 77 lines. The plan is to use these sub-schema's to build other top-level schemas. The problem is that most top level schema's are quite similar and only differ in a few low level details. For example while one top level schema supports all PaymentMethodType's (see tutorial) another top-level schema may support only VISA and MasterCard. Currently my method of creating top-level schemas involves considerable duplication. For example, my current method of creating a top-level schema in which only VISA and MasterCard are supported would involve duplicating Main.xsd and OrderType.xsd, but customizing CommonTypes.xsd and reuse CustomerTypes.xsd. (As my actual schema is a lot longer a lot more duplication is involved.) I find this duplication unacceptable primarily because it introduces a maintenance challenge i.e. I would have to maintain any number of identical sub-schemas with different names. What I would like to know is if there is a method of automatically generating a schema without via a config file of some sort (XSLT perhaps?), in order to avoid duplicating sub-schemas. Also, is it good practice for all the sub-schemas to declare the same target namespace in this case (just like the xml schema namespace xs, but have custom sub-schemas declare a separate namespace? - Olumide
