SVG font question
by Timothy Reaves 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Is there any way to determine what actual font file oXygen uses to render an SVG? It is a very different font that what is used by Firefox for example, and I'd like to know, if possible.

Using XML Catalogs to resolve location of CSS files
by Mark Baker 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

I guess this is an enhancement request, since I can't seem to get it to work. I want to be able to specify the location of a CSS stylesheet using a URL, and then have it resolved to a local copy using an XML catalog. If I actually make the stylesheet available at the specified URL, Oxygen will find and use it. But if it can't find it on the web, it won't load a local copy even though the URL is mapped to the local file system in the catalog. I'm using an existing catalog with system and URI rewriting rules that work fine for loading schemas, and I have verified that the paths are all correct, so I'm assuming the Oxygen does not currently support resolving a CSS URL via a catalog. This would be a very useful feature for me, at least. Any chance of it making it into future editions? Thanks, Mark -- Mark Baker Analecta Communications Inc. 613-614-5881 www.analecta.com

file name extension: .xml vs. .dita
by Yves Barbion 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Hi group I see that oXygen 14 gives my DITA topics the .dita file name extension when I save a new topic, unless I explicitely add .xml to my file name. Is there a way to specify the "default" file name extension for DITA topics in the Preferences? Thanks. -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu

Behavior regarding conkeyref before keydef
by KAATMAN Matthew 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Hey Everyone, This is a fairly explainable situation and not causing major problems but I'm curious if there is a way to get around it. Here's the scenario: 1. I have a map with a conkeyref in the mainbooktitle. Then in the front matter I define the keydef: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE bookmap PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA BookMap//EN" "bookmap/dtd/bookmap.dtd"> <bookmap format="ditamap" id="bookmap_User_Manual_Previ_Color"> <booktitle> <mainbooktitle><ph conkeyref="productinfo/prodname"/></mainbooktitle> </booktitle> <frontmatter> <keydef format="dita" href="user/ProductVariables.xml" keys="productinfo" processing-role="resource-only" type="topic"/> When I first load this map in Oxygen it loads the map title before it reads the keydef which results in a warning: System ID: C:\dita\products\vitek2systems\EN\Vitek2Systems_User_Manual.ditamap Severity: warning Description: [Document]:Could not resolve the target for key reference "productinfo/prodname" Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/bXnnE.png If I open the map and make any change (Hit space, hit backspace, hit save) it then reads the title correctly. Is there another place I can define my keydef to avoid this? Or any other workaround? Thanks!

Re: [oXygen-user] Find/Replace in Files: unable to find pretty-printed word combinations
by Sorin Ristache 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Hi, We added the support for spanning multiple lines with a regular expression in Find/Replace in Files in Oxygen 14.0. So if you use an older version of Oxygen the regular expression that contains (\s+) will find only the matches that span one line, that is it will not match the end-of-line character. You did not specify your Oxygen version but I think it is older than 14.0. I checked in Oxygen 13.2 and this feature was not present, it is a new feature of version 14.0. If you do not use version 14.0 please upgrade.

Bug Report: Oxygen thinks DocBook <reference> is DITA <reference>
by Barton Wright 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Hello to Oxygen Support, with thanks for such an excellent product. There is a small bug in a reproducible corner case, where Oxygen gets confused by a DocBook 4 <reference> element used at the top level of a file, and tries to validate the file in the DITA context. I’m attaching a zip file containing example files. This was tested with Oxygen 14, but I’ve seen this behavior in previous releases. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a new DocBook 4 file from the article template in Oxygen. 2. In the new file, replace “DOCTYPE article” with “DOCTYPE reference”, and change both instances of 4.5 to 4.4 (to match the standard we still use). 3. In the new file, replace the entire <article> contents with the contents of the <reference> example from the DocBook Definitive Guide at http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/reference.html. 4. Add a <referenceinfo> element above the <title> element, containing one <corpauthor> element that contains any string. 5. A file as described above is in the attached zip file as def-guide-reference-example-1.xml. 6. This file validates as a DocBook file in Oxygen, as expected, as well as in XXE (XMLMind XML Editor) and with xmllint. But wait, there’s more: 7. Now create two more new DocBook 4.4 files as described above. Change to “DOCTYPE refentry” and replace the <article> contents with the two <refentry> elements from the first example. 8. Two files as described here are in the zip file as awk.xml and gnu-as.xml. 9. Now replace the <refentry> elements in the main file with XInclude references to the two <refentry> files. A file as described here is in the zip file as def-guide-reference-example-2.xml. 10. This second example validates fine in XXE and with xmllint, both of which can resolve XIncludes in DocBook 4 files. 11. As expected, this file fails to validate in Oxygen because Oxygen cannot natively resolve XIncludes in DocBook 4 files. (We are used to this fact of life, and wish it were otherwise.) But that’s not the problem. Notice the validation failure messages, which begin as follows: [cid:image001.png@01CD6E3C.66BF2B30] 12. Even if you edit this second example to add Oxygen’s xinclude.mod support, the file is still considered to be in the DITA context. 13. Further, copy a valid <refentry> element back into the file so that it has one <refentry> local to the file and two XIncluded <refentry> pages, and validation still fails with the message shown above. 14. Comment out the XIncludes, and Oxygen validation returns to the DocBook context. Conclusion: there is something about the combination of a <reference> top-level element and an <xi:include> element that makes Oxygen ignore the DOCTYPE declaration and instead treat the file as a DITA file. Note again that XXE and xmllint* have no problem with this combination. We grudgingly accept the fact that Oxygen does not support XIncludes in DocBook 4 files unless the xinclude.mod kludge is used. But Oxygen should never consider an otherwise valid DocBook-declared file as a DITA file, despite the use of the <reference> element in both standards. *Our xmllint validation command is: xmllint --xinclude --catalogs --timing --noout --noent –postvalid filename.xml You can ignore a message that SGML_CATALOG_FILES is not set, or just set that to =/etc/xml/catalog. (Tested on Cygwin 1.7 and Linux Mint 11.)

Find/Replace in Files: unable to find pretty-printed word combinations
by Yves Barbion 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi group I'm using Find/Replace in Files in oXygen XML Editor 13 to quickly find a word in all DITA topics referenced in a DITA map. Sometimes, however, I see that a given word combination cannot be found, even though I'm sure that the word combination is used in one of my topics. When I open the topic and look at the text in plain text view, I see that the word combination is split by a line break because the text is indented ("pretty print"), for example: <title><keyword conref="_conref_library.xml#topic_qjt_sdx_1f/keyword_wms_s2x_1f"/> time zones</title> When I look for "time zones" using Find/Replace in Files, oXygen cannot find it. Is there a simple way to fix this? Thanks. -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu

Saxon and strange behaviour of xsl:sort with lang
by Jirka Kosek 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hi, I have hit strange behaviour when invoking Saxon from oXygen. It seems that lang attribute is not honoured when used on xsl:sort while collation works properly. Plese see following transformation: <?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:variable name="data" select="('Zdena', 'Chvojí', 'Cimbál', 'Čočka')"/> <xsl:template name="main"> <xsl:for-each select="$data"> <xsl:sort select="." lang="cs"/> <xsl:value-of select="."/> <xsl:text>, </xsl:text> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:text>
</xsl:text> <xsl:for-each select="$data"> <xsl:sort select="." collation="http://saxon.sf.net/collation?lang=cs"/> <xsl:value-of select="."/> <xsl:text>, </xsl:text> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> It should produce the following result (at it produces it when Saxon is invoked from command-line): Cimbál, Čočka, Chvojí, Zdena, Cimbál, Čočka, Chvojí, Zdena, But when run from oXygen output is wrong, lang="cs" is not honoured: Chvojí, Cimbál, Čočka, Zdena, Cimbál, Čočka, Chvojí, Zdena, Is there anything in Saxon integration which interferes with lang? Or perhaps JVM issue?

"Create non existing component" in the light bulb list
by Florent Georges 17 Jul '12

Hi, If in a stylesheet, I write down in an XPath expression a call to a function that does not exist yet (I do that all the time, using a function before actually writing it...), there is a light bulb on the left column, with some helper features. But the list does not include a "Create the function XYZ" as it is usually in Java IDEs for instance. Could be a good idea to improve that list?

Add comment... + deleted text in track changes
by David Cramer 15 Jul '12

15 Jul '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there, The "Add comment.." feature is handy when collaborating with another person who is also editing the document source with oXygen. In addition to asking questions of my collaborator, I like using it in conjunction with oXygen's track changes to indicate why I made certain changes. However, I notice that you cannot add a comment to a deletion. So sometimes I have to be creative (e.g. associate the comment with some "space" chars immediately before the deletion). It would be cool if I could associate my comment with the actual deletion. This isn't a must have, just a minor enhancement to some already nice functionality.

problem navigating through folders in Open option (Ubuntu 12.04)
by Robert Nagle 05 Jul '12

05 Jul '12

I'm starting to do more work in Ubuntu (12.04), and I noticed something very strange. In the latest versions of Author and Editor both, if I go to File --> Open and then navigate down through various directories, I frequently get stuck. Pressing the mouse once or twice often doesn't appear to do anything. Often -- in fact -- Oxygen will wrongly interpret the mouseclick as a desire to rename the directory name I am trying to dive into. Sometimes I need to click the mouse repeatedly and randomly to get into the directory. Maybe it's just a speed/performance issue, but I was wondering if other people had noticed this same problem. (I'm in Unity window manager with Nautilus). Is there some step to make in order to prevent Oxygen from wrongly interpreting my clicking as a request to rename the directory? Thanks. -- Robert Nagle 6121 Winsome Ln #56C, Houston TX 77057-5581 (H) 713 893 3424/ (W) 832-251-7522 Carbon Neutral Since Jan 2010 http://www.robertnagle.info

Paste XML highliting into Word

Hi, I have to update a Word document. Not my first choice, off course. I need to paste some XML snippets in there, and I would like to have them syntactically highlighted (that is, to keep the "colors they have in oXygen" when pasted into Word).

XSLTHL with DocBook on oXygen 14 (built-in support throws error)
by Florent Georges 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Hi, With the latest oXygen 14.0, I tried to use XSLTHL with DocBook. So I created a simple DocBook article using the built-in oXygen template. I added a programlisting with a language="xml" attribute. A complete example is: When I run the built-in DocBook to PDF scenario, I get an error. If I duplicate it and disable FOP processing (to keep just the XSL-FO as the output), I have something like the following: <fo:block ...> <http://xslthl.sf.net:tag xmlns:http://xslthl.sf.net="xslthl"><hello></http://xslthl.sf.net:tag>World!<http://xslthl.sf.net:tag xmlns:http://xslthl.sf.net="xslthl"></hello></http://xslthl.sf.net:tag> </fo:block> That is, it seems like at some point, the piece of code that is generating (or serializing?) the above element is mixing up the xslthl prefix and the URI "http://xslthl.sf.net". If you replace each of them by the other (prefix and URI), you get the following (I guess correct) element: <fo:block ...> <xslthl:tag xmlns:xslthl="http://xslthl.sf.net"><hello></xslthl:tag>World!<xslthl:tag xmlns:xslthl="http://xslthl.sf.net"></hello></xslthl:tag> </fo:block> I've tried to track it a bit further down using the debugger, but could not find anything more, really. Do you have any idea? Did I miss anything? Regards, -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/ http://h2oconsulting.be/

Browser preview
by Shannon 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Has there been any discussion of a browser preview view? As demonstrated in your tutorial videos, debugging web applications usually means a lot of switching back and forth between Oxygen and the browser--I've seen some editors, such as Coda 2 by Panic, integrate a preview panel which can be very handy and efficient. A window built into the IDE with a URL input and refresh button would be sufficient. Webkit is ideal in these scenarios due to its attached web inspector--the panel is easily split between rendering and error console, etc. Thanks.

by Shannon 29 Jun '12

Any consideration to a snippet manager, for common declarations, import statements, etc.? Also, forgot to mention that a built-in browser preview is really helpful for testing RESTful API endpoints… Presently using other apps outside of Oxygen for these purposes--the angle is convenience. Thanks. P.S. The expanded support in v.14 for MarkLogic is incredible! From debugging to autocomplete to validation--awesome, thank you.

Hi, When opening a document with multiple XInclude references, the editor does not allow inline changes to the included content (unless it is opened in a separate view). Is there any way to make the XInclude content editable in the original Author view? If not, spell-checking or performing a global replace in a document with numerous XIncludes would be difficult.

DITA: @audience = novice or expert
by Echlin, Robert 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

Hi I have constrained, in DITA 1.2, the attribute audience to allow two values, "rtpDev" and "kernelDev". However, oXygen 13.2 keeps insisting on showing four values. It adds "novice" and "expert" to the drop down list in the "Attributes" view, and in the list displayed by <ctrl-space> keystroke. I don't think the extra words are added incorrectly by my DTD, because: - they don't appear in the files my DTD uses (according to grep) - when I select novice or expert, oXygen very kindly displays this error message: - [Xerces] Attribute "audience" with value "novice" must have a value from the list "kernelDev rtpDev" Any suggestions?
