Cannot find a matching 2-argument function named {org.dita.dost.util.ImgUtils}getWidth()
by Echlin, Robert 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

Hi I am trying to use oXygen to validate XSL that includes use of functions from "dost". The code runs in the DITA OT with no problems. Here is the error message: Description: Cannot find a matching 2-argument function named {org.dita.dost.util.ImgUtils}getWidth() Is there something I can do to my code or to my validation scenario to make oXygen validate this? Thanks, Rob -- Rob Echlin, Documentation Systems Architect, Wind River +1.613.270.5796 | Skype: rob.echlin.wr

Checking unique Element Ids

Is it possible to use XML 1.1 schema to verify that that elements in a document contain unique Ids. See For example the attached test XML document and Schema. Thanks. -------------- XML Document -------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Item> <c id="0"/> <a id="1"/> <a id="2"/> <b id="3"/> <a id="4"/> <b id="0"/> <d id="6"/> <d id="7"/> <b id="3"/> <c id="1"/> </Item> -------------- XML 1.1 Schema -------------- <?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:element> <xs:element name="b"> <xs:complexType> <xs:attribute name="id" use="required"/> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="c"> <xs:complexType> <xs:attribute name="id" use="required"/> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="d"> <xs:complexType> <xs:attribute name="id" use="required"/> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:choice> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema>

base-uri()
by Rushforth, Peter 18 Sep '12

18 Sep '12

Hi there, http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlbase/ says this: " In the example below, the base URI of element e2 should be returned as "http://example.org/wine/rosé". <?xml version="1.0"?> <e1 xml:base="http://example.org/wine/"> <e2 xml:base="rosé"/> </e1> " In oXygen 13.2, if I put the text input point after the e2 element and enter base-uri() into the xpath widget, the resulting value is "rosé" when the widget is set to process with XPath 2.0, whereas it is "http://example.org/wine/rosé" when evaluated with XPath 2.0 SA. When I run the following stylesheet against the same input using all three versions of saxon (including HE) built in, I get the full (correct) base URI as output. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <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:output method="text"/> <xsl:template match="/e1/e2"> <xsl:value-of select="base-uri()"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> I think this must be a bug, unless I'm missing a setting somewhere? Thanks Peter Rushforth

Debugger stops showing parameters for a while?
by Lars Huttar 07 Sep '12

07 Sep '12

Hello, I'm using Oxygen 14.0, build 2012062215. In the debugger, with Saxon 9.4.0.3 PE. I have a stylesheet running with a specified XML document as input. A certain named template is called, <xsl:template name="allowed-formats"> <xsl:param name="mixedItemTypes" select="false()" as="xs:boolean"/> <xsl:param name="tableScopeType" select="''" as="xs:string"/> <xsl:variable name="file" select="."/> <xsl:variable name="typePlural" select="local-name($file/..)"/> I step through these lines one by one using "Step Into". When the cursor goes past the first <xsl:param> line, the debugger "Variables" window shows the mixedItemTypes parameter, as it should. But when I step past the second <xsl:param> line (and the cursor goes to the "."), the $mixedItemTypes parameter disappears from the Variables window, and the $tableScopeType parameter doesn't show up. After a few more steps in the same template, both parameters appear in the Variables window. This makes it very awkward to debug what's happening, if the time when you need to see the value of one of the parameters happens to be a time when it won't show up. Also, when these parameters are not showing in the "Variables" window, they also are inaccessible from expressions (e.g. "$tableScopeType") in the XWatch window. Thanks for helping me understand and overcome whatever is going on here. Lars

[Announce] Training invitation: autumn classes in XSLT, XSL-FO and UBL in Europe
by G. Ken Holman 04 Sep '12

04 Sep '12

For your autumn technical training planning, please note that there are four in-depth hands-on XML-related classes that I have written and will be delivering at the end of October in Utrecht Netherlands. The separate publicly-subscribed classes are in XSLT, XSL-FO, OASIS UBL and OASIS Code Lists. For 10% savings, the early-bird date of October 1, 2012 is now less than a month away. Please subscribe early to prevent the classes from being cancelled due to insufficient support by the early-bird date. The details can be found linked from a number of different sources: Our home page: http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/x/ Open Source Academy (the host): http://www.opensourceacademy.nl/index.php?id=56&L=1 ePractice: http://www.epractice.eu/en/events/cranetraining LinkedIn: http://linkd.in/GUYLf2 I have had the privilege to deliver the material around the world many times over the years, and I have been the instructor for all of these deliveries: http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/training/pastsch.htm By way of credentials for my work, we believe my qualifications compare very well against other contractors and trainers ... I am a day-by-day practitioner in these technologies and this will be an excellent opportunity for the students to learn from my guidance: http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/bio/gkholman.htm By far most of our world training is delivered privately on-site for organizations, but we periodically schedule these publicly-subscribed classes to give the opportunity for companies to send fewer students than would typically warrant running a private class. For those unable to attend the live classes, there are two other options for XSLT. In 2008 the entire 5-day XSLT class was recorded as a 24-hour DVD-ROM, with exercises. The 2-DVD set can be purchased and shared as physical media: http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/training/ptux/ptux-video.htm Alternatively, the entire 24 hours is uploaded for online viewing, with 5 hours marked as free access without having to create a Udemy account: http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/links/udemy-ptux-online.htm Good luck in your training planning for the upcoming months.

Copy from Messages pane
by Karl Stubsjoen 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

I wish there was more options to copy from the Messages pane. Right now when you copy from the Messages pane you get a lot of info about where the source message came from, but I'd like to be able to copy just a selection of text from the message pane. What about a message View box, so you double click the message and you get all the details about the message and a text box with message in it that you can copy from. Or, is there a trick to copying out just the message text from the message pane? Thanks, Karl.. -- Karl Stubsjoen MeetScoresOnline.com (602) 845-0006

Framework add-ons -- what and where?
by Tony Graham 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

I am attempting to configure installing a framework as an add-on. I have an extensions XML file on a remote host defining the framework, and oXygen can find the file and provide all the right version and license information, but after I install the add-on and restart oXygen (or vice-versa, since it's not clear at what point the add-on is actually installed), there's no trace of the installed framework other than it being listed as "Installed" in the "Manage Add-ons..." dialog box. The file referred to from xt:location/href is a Zip file containing the oXygen framework file and, in subdirectories, the schema and Schematron files used in the framework. Is there anything about the layout in the Zip file that needs to change? oXygen says the add-on is installed, but where do I look to see what was downloaded, since the framework doesn't show up in the "Document Type Associations" preferences? It's making no difference whether or not I specifically run as "Administrator" on this Windows machine.

In-place rename
by Yves Barbion 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Hi group I try to use the in-place rename feature as follows: 1. In Author mode, I put my cursor in the text in an element. 2. I press ALT+SHIFT+R. However, nothing seems to happen (also when I select the element itself). When I check the menu shortcut keys for rename, I see that the ALT+SHIFT+R shortcut is assigned to "Rename Component" in the "Refactoring" Category. In this list, I also see "Rename" but in the "XML Refactoring" category. When I assign the ALT+SHIFT+R shortcut to that Rename action, it works. Is this the idea or am I doing something wrong here? Thanks. -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu

css counter reset after closing paragraph / section?
by Roderik Dernison 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

Hi, I've created a dita schema extension that contains an ilexample for a complex example and an innerExample element for nesting in it. In css I make the ilexampleCounter increase each time an ilexample element is added to my topic. But when I nest those ilexamples in e.g. a paragraph, or section, each time a new paragraph or section starts, the ilexampleCounter is reset to 1. Is there a way to prevent this behavior, so that wherever my ilexample is placed in a topic, it will always get a higher number than the previous one? Kind regards, Ing.

10 files open is too many
by Echlin, Robert 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

Hi I find when I have a few files open in oXygen, that I soon reach the limit of too many files to find the one I want. This is a common problem, that I find in other apps as well. This is a hard problem. However, let's look at some specific irritants that you can probably do something about, most of which do not occur in other apps. - narrow list box The icon at the right of the list of files will show the whole list if you click on it. The names of the files are truncated, because that drop down list is too narrow. When this list is open, it doesn't matter if you can't see a lot of stuff under it. Please make it wider, maybe 50% wider? Or variable, so it will be as wide as the widest filename? - closing files Let's say I have 20 files open and I want to close the three in the middle. right click on one. select "close", and it closes. But... Instead of seeing the "middle" of the list, where I was just working, I now see the "left" side. (This is the bit I want you to fix) I then see the left most few files, maybe 6, and to get to the next one I want to close, I have to click the scroll button several/many times. Alternatively, I can click the "whole list" icon and find the file I want to next close, then select it. two clicks and some eyeball scrolling. Slow. - dragging files to change their order This is a similar problem to closing files. Try to drag a file, and the screen jumps to the left-most items, leaving you with a lot of scrolling to do to find it again, to drag it past one ... more ... file! - select different file, then go back Do this: - If I have currently selected a file that I am viewing in "text" mode, then click on the name of a file that is in "author" mode. Get this: - The number of toolbars open increases (that's OK, by itself) - The file I am now looking at "moves" to the left side of the screen (sometimes the right), instead of staying where it was. This may hide the file I was looking at before. This makes it difficult to move back and forth between two files. - ditamap vs. topic file One of our writers pointed out to me that maps open in the list get "lost" in the dita topics. Maybe different file types could have different background colors or some other differentiator in the list of files? Thanks for considering these requests.

[Bug] Compressed SVG files not opened
by Timothy Reaves 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

The SVG specification allows for SVG files to be compressed, and does not require a different file extension for compressed files. However, when you attempt to open a compressed SVG with oXygen, you get an encoding error. oXygen should correctly determine if an SVG is compressed or not when opening.

Automatically add @type when a topicref is added to a DITA map
by Yves Barbion 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hi group When I add a topicref to a DITA map, I see that the @type attribute is left unspecified. It would be nice if the @type attribute would then automatically be filled in, depending on the information type of the topic. For example, when I add a topicref to a task topic, the @type attribute would automatically be type="task". Is this possible or is this a new feature request? Thanks -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu

Graphic href attributes
by Hintz, David 16 Aug '12

When we insert a graphic element from our custom schema and browse to the graphic we're inserting, we'd like just the absolute path to be inserted in the XML. For example, we'd like: <graphic href="D:/image.jpg"/> and not: <graphic href="file:/D:/image.jpg"/> Is that possible? Dave Hintz Siemens

Re: [oXygen-user] Validation of Schema that Imports Multiple XSD Schemas
by Robert Leif 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

Hi Adrian, I checked the paths of the files in the project. They were all in the same directory. oXygen_Global_Options.xml contains the system information. I created and validatedRelation_Image_List13Aug12 with XMLSpy. Validation took 1 to 2 seconds. The same file in oXygen already has the description at over 7,500 items and growing! 50% of the 2 CPUs is being used. I obtained the following message from the bottom panel: Description: Loading catalog: file:/C:/Program%20Files/Oxygen%20XML%20Editor%2014/frameworks/catalog.xml I attempted to validate after about an hour< I received an error message that the system had run out of heap space. System ID: D:\CytometryML\ACS\xsd\Relation_Image_List13Aug12 .xml Main validation file: D:\CytometryML\ACS\xsd\Relation_Image_List13Aug12 .xml Schema: D:\CytometryML\ACS\xsd\relations_image.xsd Engine name: Saxon-EE 9.4.0.3 Severity: error Description: Java heap space If the problem is the number of schemas imported, the parser can look in each schema and determine if the prefix is used, if not a comment could be placed next to each import element. The user could then erase it or comment it out. This is equivalent to a compiler parser looking for unused code. Thank you. Yours, Bob Leif -----Original Message----- From: Oxygen XML Editor Support [mailto:support@oxygenxml.com] Sent: Monday, August 13, 2012 6:21 AM To: rleif(a)rleif.com Cc: oXygen-user(a)oxygenxml.com Subject: Re: [oXygen-user] Validation of Schema that Imports Multiple XSD Schemas Hello Robert, When validating XML files, Oxygen provides a caching mechanism for the schema used for validation, so only the first validation will evaluate the entire schema hierarchy. The following XML validations will use the cached schema. When validating XML schema files, the entire schema hierarchy starting from the current schema is validated every time. However, the validation time that you report seems extreme for an XML Schema validation, even if a large schema hierarchy is validated. Do you have a validation scenario with multiple validation units or are you using the default validation as it is offered by Oxygen? Make sure the schemas are all local. In situations where schemas are imported from remote locations, make sure these remote URIs are resolved through an XML catalog to a local copy. My guess is some of the schemas from your schema hierarchy are requested from a remote location and that's what's causing the huge validation time. To determine if some schemas are retrieved from remote locations, you can enable XML Catalog verbosity in Oxygen from Options > Preferences, XML > XML Catalog. Set "Verbosity" to "All messages". Whenever you validate or perform an Oxygen operation that involves the catalog resolver, the attempts to resolve URIs, systemIDs or namespaces (depending on your Oxygen catalog options) will appear in the Catalogs view from the results panel (at the bottom of the editor window). Note that all attempts at resolving something are listed there, so it's possible you'll see a lot of redundant messages, first some that fail and eventually one that succeeds in resolving the URI. We are not aware of any schema caching mechanisms that Saxon offers in this regard, but we have not investigated this possibility. But, my belief is that the problem you have encountered lies elsewhere. There seems to be a bottleneck somewhere that slows things down significantly and my first guess is that some of the schema files are not immediately accessible. By any chance, have you tried to validate the same schema hierarchy with Saxon from the command line? Note that you'll need a separate Saxon deployment since the one bundled with Oxygen is only licensed to be used from within the application GUI.

Re: [oXygen-user] automatic numbering of self-created elements?
by Oxygen XML Editor Support 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Hi Roderick, This could be possible to achieve using our Java Author SDK: > http://www.oxygenxml.com/oxygen_sdk.html#XML_Editor_Authoring_SDK and implementing an interface called "ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.UniqueAttributesRecognizer". The Java sources for the default implementation "ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.id.DefaultUniqueAttributesRecognizer" should be available in the Author SDK sample code. In the SDK you also have the DITA implementation for it. If in the Oxygen Preferences->"Document Type Association" page you edit the DITA document type, you can add an additional library in the Classpath list and then in the Extensions tab you can set your custom implementation for "Unique attributes recognizer".

automatic numbering of self-created elements?

Hi, I've extended the DITA schema with elemnts we need for linguisitc purposes. One of them is ilexample and another is innerExample.

Is it possible to automatically generate an id for these elements, when the user adds such an element? Or should I write a plugin that is executed when the topic is saved?

Any VirtualBox users find a way around the paste problem?
by G. Ken Holman 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Fellow oXygen users, I'm nagged by the ever-present copy and paste problem from VirtualBox when pasting text from, say, an XP guest to a Mac host. The paste text includes a BOM at the start and a NUL at the end. Thankfully, oXygen strips the NUL so as not to make the XML document not-well-formed (Emacs doesn't do such stripping), but the BOM U+FEFF at the beginning of the paste buffer ends up in my XML and is not visible (though walking around with the cursor eventually finds it). It is visible in Emacs so I instantly am reminded of the issue ... I tend to forget the issue when pasting in oXygen. Has anyone figured out a way to configure either VirtualBox or oXygen to prevent the BOM from ending up in the edited file during a standard paste action? Thanks for any advice anyone may have regarding this! . . . . . . . . . . .

Validation of Schema that Imports Multiple XSD Schemas
by Robert Leif 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Since my designs follow object-oriented design principles, my XSD schemas import multiple XSD schemas, which provide and permit reuse of many of their simpleTypes and complexTypes. The time for a successful validation of a schema that solely imports 9 other schemas and does not have any data-type or element definitions was in excess of 10 minutes. The subsequent validation took 3 minutes. 2.66 out of 4 gigabytes of memory and 50% of the CPU were used. I validated with Saxon-EE 9.4.0.3 for XSD1.1. I suspect that the problem is that Saxon validated all of the imported schemas. Since these schemas had NOT been changed after their previous validation, this was a total waste of time! Does Saxon have a tool to check the time of the previous validation against the time of the last edit? If not, it needs one. There is a potential problem when two schemas import each other. In this case, it probably pays to validate both. A quick way to ameliorate this problem is to extend the validation-well-formatted pull-down to include Validate only this schema. Since a schema tree structure is needed to perform an intelligent validation, it would be useful to make this tree available to the user and to note if any of the imported schemas were not being used. Has anyone else observed similar long validation times with another validator? Thank you. Yours truly, Bob Leif

Maps in editor don't have keyref support like topics do
by Echlin, Robert 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Hi guys, Using oXygen 13.2, Standalone. Build: 2012052412 Setup) - Open a top level map in the Maps Manager, which references a map containing key definitions - Open a sub-map in the Editor containing <topicref> that uses @keyref to identify the topic file 1) - Try to open the topic file with "Right-click > Open > Open file at caret" - The dialog pops up that allows you to create the file referenced, using the "key" as the name for the file to be created. 2) - click on a topicref - double-click on "keyref" in the "Attribute View" - There is no drop-down list of keys to choose from Do these use-cases work in oXygen 14? We are using a script to create all our keyrefs from the ID's in the topic files, and from the names of the graphics files, so the key map is automatically generated.

Any way to recover in-memory files?
by David Sewell 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

oXygen users, I'm running oXygen 13.2 on a Mac. I was in the middle of editing a long XML file and did a global search-and-replace that had the effect of creating ill-formed XML. Now oXygen is spinning endlessly, running one core at 100% CPU, apparently trying to parse the file. I was also editing some XQuery code in a couple of tabs that I had not saved to disk yet. oXygen won't let me open those tabs as it is trying to complete its Find/Replace. Any ideas on how I can retrieve the code? If I force-quit the oXygen process, would the data be written anywhere that it could be retrieved? this is not mission-critical but if there is a way to retrieve the content it would be nice.

Edit modes preferences do not work for "Find in Files" results
by Yves Barbion 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Hi group I'm using oXygen XML Editor 14. I have set my Edit modes preferences to open XML files in Author mode (Options > Preferences > Edit Modes > XML Editor: Author. This works when I open an XML file by double-clicking the topicref in a DITA map. However, I see that this does not work when I double-click an entry in the "Find in Files" pane. Can this be fixed? Thanks. -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu
