SVG rasterizer
by Wendell Piez 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hi, As you know, Batik comes with rasterizer code to convert SVG into JPEG and PNG formats. (And others, including TIFF, EPS and PDF.) I happily use it on other platforms, but sometimes I'd really like to do this in oXygen ... any chance of adding a widget for SVG files to support this?

Restoring XML element folding to a single xml document
by Bill Walker 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Colleagues, While editing an XML document in Oxygen, I removed the element folding functionality. I believe I was trying to get the line wrapping to work, but don't remember exactly what I did. Is there any way to add the element folding back in to a particular document. Please note that I have not disabled it for the entire application, but only for a particular document. Thanks, Bill Walker Imaging Field Services Officer Amigos Library Services, 14400 Midway Road, Dallas, TX 75244-3509 800-843-8482 x2853 972-340-2853 (direct) 972-991-6061 (fax) www.amigos.org Email: walker(a)amigos.org Digital Preservation: What's Now, What's Next?

Additional XSLT stylesheet in docbook transformation

Java plugin
by Siyan, Karanjit (NIH/NLM/NCBI) [E] 06 Jun '11

06 Jun '11

I am looking for sample starter code on writing a Java plugin which shows how to do the following: 1. When user does a Save (File + Save), display a dialog box from which the user can proceed with the Normal Save or select other options to do some custom saves to a database. 2. Add new options/actions under File that do custom processing I am familiar with Java but not with Oxygen's plugin architecture. Any pointers on what documentation to start with would also be helpful.

whitespace printing issues
by Peter Stadler 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Dear all, while trying to print some TEI code (actually I'm trying to do a pdf export via Mac OS integrated print-> pdf) I get missing whitespace in front of elements within mixed content elements. E.G. <p>auch besuchte mich den Tag <persName key="A001641">Papa ... results in <p>auch besuchte mich den Tag<persName key="A001641">Papa ... (No whitespace before <persName/> !) XML is valid, on screen everything is fine, only printing lacks whitespace. I'm using oXygen 12.2 (build 2011051714) on Mac OS 10.6.7. Am I missing some configuration switch?

That can maybe be an option in the documentation generation dialog box (function item syntax, short signature form, or complete signature form with types). Specifying the arity in the menu for non-overloaded functions (function names with a single one arity) is not necessary and could be dropped (or be an option too). 2) I'd add the complete signature (param names and types, and return type) in a tooltip box displayed on a mouseover (for media supporting it). PS: The name of the section for a function is "Function f:test" even if the function is overloaded, in which case we have several sections named the same way, without the arity. PPS: With oXygen 12.2 on Mac OS X, when I generate the doc of a stylesheet, the menu is not anymore on the left-hand side, but on top of the file instead (see enclosed screenshot).

Project file Filters

2 suggestions: 1) make it more obvious that a filter is in place, maybe color the bar on top, or add a label that says Filter: xsl, xml 2) on the gear gadget on the project explorer title bar, when filter is in place, add a clear filter action here - at a minimum, include a clear filter button in the filter dialog. -- Karl Stubsjoen MeetScoresOnline.com (602) 845-0006

Functions signatures in XSLT documentation
by Radu Coravu 31 May '11

31 May '11

Hi, When documentation is generated from an XSLT 2.0 we are thinking to make the link to a function more compact by removing the type of its parameters: f:function-name($param as xs:string) --> f:function-name($param) Since the parameter type doesn't count for function overload the function should be equally easy to identify. The type of the parameter can still be seen by following the link (this is only for the link text). So the question for you XSLT developers is : do you find the parameter type useful in these references? I attached a screenshot for more details.

Re: [oXygen-user] Schema Intellisense after Learn proglem

Hi Karl, I understand the use case, indeed it seems useful sometimes to switch between learning the XML and using the associated schema. It seems that older versions of Oxygen behaved like you suggested so somehow the behavior was lost in the newest versions. I added an issue to our issues list and we'll investigate. Have you tried our code templates support? http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/topics/preferences-editor-code-templ… They might also be useful to you.

feature, bug, or option I need to set?
by Syd Bauman 20 May '11

20 May '11

I just updated my oXygen 12.1 (I can get you the Build # if you need it) to 12.2 build 2011051714. One of the first things I noticed is that indent-on-paste no longer seems to work. Is that an intentional feature, a problem, or something I now need to set? (I note that "Indent on paste - sections with number of lines less than 300" is checked in the Editor / Format / XML preferences pane, as I believe it always has been for me.) I need my paste-on-indent. I'm already going through withdrawal. I hope I don't have to revert. (BTW, having "format and indent" apply to only the selected text would be even better.) As always, thanks for a great product.

Table rules for empty cells
by Kiparsky, Jon 19 May '11

19 May '11

Is there a simple way to force a table to actually generate rules around all cells when generating html from docbook? <table rules="all"> is not doing it. Right now, I'm having to insert non-breaking spaces to force empty cells to get rules, which means I have a lot of lines like this: <td> </td> in a sparse table. This is okay - easily generated with global replace - but a but of a nuisance. PDFs generated from the same source are ruled correctly, but the HTML is not, unless the &nbsp is inserted. Or, for a workaround, is it possible to add a non-breaking space to the "insert from character map" options in a future version? (speaking of the character map, it would be really nice if the non-printing characters were labelled - I can usually remember that U+000D is a CR, but the others I have to look up) Cheers, -Jon Kiparsky

Convenient insertion of XInclude from project view
by Jirka Kosek 04 May '11

04 May '11

Hi, I was looking for user friendly ways of inserting xi:include into document opened in Author view. I have realized that closest functionality to this is dragging file from project view to Author view. For some document types (e.g. DocBook) this includes <link> element pointing to this file. I can't imagine use of such <link> elements. Wouldn't it be better to insert xi:include instead? Maybe this could be improvement for future versions. Am I right that in order to modify this behavior I have to make my own implementation ro.sync.ecss.extensions.docbook.Docbook5ExternalObjectInsertionHandler class?

Ignore '.svn' directory and contents when validating?
by Tony Graham 03 May '11

03 May '11

I have a directory containing a mixture of XML and non-XML files, e.g., some '.txt' files. (BTW, since this is a client's data, I have no control over what's in the directory.) The directory is checked into Subversion, so there's also a '.svn' subdirectory that contains several Subversion-specific files plus a '.svn-base' for each checked-in file. The directory has been added an oXygen project as a folder. When I right-click on the folder in the oXygen project and select 'Validate > Validate', oXygen attempts to validate every file in the directory and its '.svn' subdirectory. I can make oXygen ignore the files in the '.svn' subdirectory by adding '*.svn-base', 'entries', and 'all-wcprops' to the list of 'binary' file types in the 'File Types' preferences panel. Adding just '.svn' had no effect. Is there a way to get oXygen to not try to validate the '.svn' subdirectory other than by explicitly ignoring every possible file and file type under '.svn'? Is there a way to get oXygen to not try to validate '.txt' files? After all, the 'txt' extension is mapped to the 'Text Editor' in oXygen, not to the 'XML Editor'. Regards, Tony Graham. Mentea

It should be possible to specify Saxon configuration file for validation scenario
by Jirka Kosek 02 May '11

02 May '11

Hi, I have complex set of stylesheets which use custom Saxon extension. I can validate main stylesheet as I can specify Saxon configuration file (-config) which defines extension. However when I'm editing imported stylesheet and I specify custom validation scenario I can't specify Saxon configuration file here (I can choose only XSLT processor and extensions) and extension is thus not loaded and I got validation error on each use of extension function or instruction. Would it be possible to fix this omission?
