Internal links within conref'd content
by Peter Shauger 19 Dec '23

19 Dec '23

Hi, I am wondering if it's possible to have an internal link within a piece of conref'd content. For example, I have a simple table that I want to insert into multiple locations. I know how to do that. In this table, I have an xref in one row that points to another row in the same table. What I want is for this internal or "contained" link to work in all locations where I insert the table. Right now I can't figure out how to do this. Has anyone done this?

Drag and drop to install an add-on?
by Tony Graham 07 Dec '23

07 Dec '23

The Oxygen documentation includes multiple buttons that can be dragged and dropped into Oxygen to install an add-on, e.g. at: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/26.0/ug-editor/topics/translator-hel… where the button is a link to: https://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Addons/default/updateSite.xml?oxygenAddo… Is this specific to Oxygen's add-ons or can anybody make a button for their own add-on by using a URL of the right format?

[ANN] Oxygen AI Positron Version 1.0 is Now Available!
by Alin Belu 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

Hello, We are excited to announce version 1.0 of *Oxygen AI Positron*, a solution that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to assist technical documentation writers at every step of their content creation journey! The Oxygen AI Positron service seamlessly integrates with the Oxygen tools - Oxygen XML Editor/Author/Developer and Oxygen XML Web Author. It is accessed through the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant plugin, making it a natural extension of the user's writing environment. Once the *Oxygen AI Positron Assistant* plugin is installed, writers can utilize AI-generated content to perform repetitive tasks, review grammar, generate structure and text, or propose changes to improve readability. It always *keeps the writer in control*, offering a visual diff comparison to help quickly identify proposed changes and understand how the AI-generated content will appear in the document. Users also have the ability to continue the chat with the AI to refine the proposals. For complex tasks that the AI may not be able to accurately complete without assistance, there is the option to *record a set of instructions* for the AI to follow and the final result can be saved as a custom AI action or as a favorite prompt that can be easily shared with other project members. Oxygen AI Positron Assistant offers intelligent support to help *resolve document validation problems* with an innovative variant of a quick-fix called *AI Positron Fix* that asks the AI engine to find a solution for a validation problem and applies its suggestion. Furthermore, a set of *AI-based XPath functions* can be accessed to enable the use of AI from any programming language that uses XPath expressions such as XSLT, XQuery, and Schematron. For example, it is possible to create XSLT-based XML refactoring actions that can batch process multiple documents, applying AI functionality on them, or to define Schematron Quick-Fixes that utilize the AI functions. To start benefiting from Oxygen AI Positron, users have the option of a free trial period. Additionally, there are several subscription plans to choose from to align with specific usage needs. For more information, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/ai_positron_assistant.html As always, thank you for your support and don't forget that feedback is welcome!

ANT transformation scenarios .. ?
by Scott Prentice 07 Nov '23

07 Nov '23

Hi... In O23 (maybe O24) and earlier, there was the ability to add ANT transformation scenarios to a framework .. but in O25, that doesn't seem to work. Am I missing some switch or setting to enable this? If I open a framework in O25 that was created in O23, I can edit existing ANT scenarios, but just can't add them. Settings > Document Type Associations > [select/edit framework] > Transformation tab .. - Use "+" button at bottom and select "ANT transformation" I get nada. Is anyone else seeing this? Same for O25.0 and O25.1 .. haven't tested O26 yet. Is it just me or are others seeing this? Thanks! ...scott

Hi Karl, What XML vocabulary are you using? DITA, DocBook, TEI, something else? Are you editing the XML content in the Text mode or in the Author visual editor mode? When editing XML in the Author visual editor mode you have a specific CSS property which can be set to prohibit editing in certain elements: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/26.0/ug-editor/topics/dg-editable-cs… If you are editing XML in the Text mode, it gets more complicated, you would need to build some kind of Oxygen Java based plugin which prohibits editing in certain places...

I don't know if this is exactly what you want, but what if you... 1, Create a new XML file that you will only use as the source for a conref 2, Move your historical content into a <section> or a <div> element within that new XML file 3, Place a condition on the <section> or <div> element containing the historical content, like product="historical" or maybe deliveryTarget="historical" 4, Define that condition in your DITAVAL file, for example, <prop action="exclude" att="deliveryTarget" val="historical"/> 5, In the current file, insert a conref to the historical content Because the information is in a conref, the content will be read only when you are in the current/parent file (unless you double-click it to open it). Because the content is marked with a "historical" condition, and "historical" is defined to be excluded, it will not show up in the output. -Peter From: Karl <kstubs(a)gmail.com> To: oxygen-user <oxygen-user(a)oxygenxml.com> Date: Wednesday, 1 November 2023 1:42 AM EDT Subject: {Spam}[oXygen-user] Read only section of Xml Hello Group!

Re: [oXygen-user] [OXYGEN-9712] Why is the size limit so low for comfortably editing files in text mode in scripts such as Tamil?
by Oxygen XML Editor Support (Adrian Buza) 27 Oct '23

27 Oct '23

Hello, Tamil is a script that requires "special characters" support in text mode. When you open in Oxygen a document that contains such script (with default options) you are prompted to Enable/Disable support for bidirectional text and special characters. When this support is enabled, the performance is affected significantly. Larger documents incur a more significant performance penalty. By default *this support is disabled for files larger than 300KB, but performance can be acceptable for up to 800KB.* https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/26.0/ug-editor/topics/bidirectional-… > if I edit in text mode a file containing the equivalent of 60 pages > (which has a *size of 693 kB*), I can no longer trust what I see and > have to enter the Tamil text without paying attention to the position > of the cursor, which is far to the right side of the actual insertion > position. > > Why is that the case? To answer your question, if you have the default limit of 300k in Oxygen and are editing a file that is larger, the "special characters" support is disabled without notification. With the support disabled, it is normal for the cursor positioning and editing to be "off". If you want to have it enabled, go to Options > Preferences, Editor > Open/Save and in the section "Support for Special Characters" *configure the 'Disable special characters support for documents larger than (characters)' limit to 800k*. If you feel confident it will hold, you could clear the Disable box (so that it never gets disabled), but be aware that the larger the document, the more it will slow down, up to making it appear as hanged. If you disable the limit, I would advise to at least set it to "Prompt for each document", so you can disable it yourself when it's not needed. > Why is a text editor such as Notepad++ capable of doing what oXygen > cannot do, with respect to rendering text containing complex scritps > such as Tamil? Oxygen XML Editor is a Java application and at least for the text mode it uses the support that Java implements for rendering texts and managing cursor positions. When dealing with large file sizes and special scripts, the Java implementation struggles to efficiently handle the text rendering and cursor positioning due the complexity and nuances of the script that is not handled natively. On the other hand, text editors like Notepad++, which are solely built for handling text files, might perform better with large files and complex scripts because they use native methods (OS support) to render and manage cursor positions in the text.

Why is the size limit so low for comfortably editing files in text mode in scripts such as Tamil?
by Jean-Luc Chevillard 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

Dear list, I have often wondered why the size limit so low for comfortably editing files in text mode in scripts such as Tamil? I am currently editing an ancient Portuguese-Tamil dictionary and as soon as the file size reaches a certain size, I can no longer trust the cursor position. To give an example, if I edit today in text mode a file containing the equivalent of one page, which has a size of 23 kB, I can trust the position of the cursor on screen to show me where the next Tamil character will be inserted. HOWEVER, if I edit in text mode a file containing the equivalent of 60 pages (which has a size of 693 kB), I can no longer trust what I see and have to enter the Tamil text without paying attention to the position of the cursor, which is far to the right side of the actual insertion position. Why is that the case? Why is a text editor such as Notepad++ capable of doing what oXygen cannot do, with respect to rendering text containing complex scritps such as Tamil? Am I doing something wrong? I would like to know Thanks for any solution provided -- Jean-Luc Chevillard https://htl.cnrs.fr/equipe/jl-chevillard/ P.S. The problem does not occur in Author mode, but one does not always want to define a .CSS

Re: [oXygen-user] [OXYGEN-9493] Load external data into form control?
by Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu) 20 Oct '23

Hi Scott, If you just configure using the CSS a combo box to edit the values of an attribute, by default those values will be gathered either from the DTDs (if you have defined a choice of values for the attribute in the DTDs) or from our content completion configuration file which can use XSLT to gather values from another location. Maybe this blog post by my colleague Alex will help: https://blog.oxygenxml.com/topics/controlledAttributeValues2.html Regards, Radu Radu Coravu Oxygen XML Editor On 10/19/23 03:06, Scott Prentice wrote: > > I'm refining some metadata form controls for a custom framework, and > it would be ideal if I was able to load the values and labels for a > combobox from an external file (XML or preferably, JSON) rather than > hard-coding these values into the CSS.

Load external data into form control?
by Scott Prentice 18 Oct '23

18 Oct '23

I'm refining some metadata form controls for a custom framework, and it would be ideal if I was able to load the values and labels for a combobox from an external file (XML or preferably, JSON) rather than hard-coding these values into the CSS. It seems that this may be possible with xpath_eval(). Is anyone aware of any examples of this, or am I heading down a rabbit hole? I'll keep poking at this, but thought I'd see if anyone had thoughts on this effort. Thanks! ...scott
