select category instead of typing it?
by Roderik Dernison 04 Jul '11

04 Jul '11

Hi, I'd like to know if it is possible to select the category out of a list instead of typing it down. So, when I edit the prolog of my topic and add the category to the metadata, I'd like oxygen to show a dropdown list with predefined values. Kind regards, Roderik Dernison INL Tstl 2471 ________________________________ ---------------------------------------------------------- Aan dit bericht kunnen geen rechten worden ontleend.

Tables with width in percents
by Mike Starov 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

Hello all. I am working on customizing DocBook for our publishing department. I have a difficulty displaying tables in Author mode with "width" set in percents. The table itself is displayed fine with width corresponding to % of the page set in width attribute, but the columns are displayed as much narrower. There is a big chunk of empty space on the right that's not taken up but the columns. As soon as I change tables width to a set value like 500 the columns expand and take up the whole table space. Example below. Try pasting it and seeing how it gets displayed in oXygen. I know that DocBook schema bundled with Oxygen complains about width attribute but it is supported by HTML tables and there are rules for it in CSS. How can I fix this. I tried playing with CSS but could not find any solution. I looked at the API and there is some interfaces that seem to be able to help with this but It seems pretty complicated. I need some help getting started. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <sect1 xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0"> <title>First section</title> <para> <table frame="all" width="80%"> <title>This is table with % width</title> <tgroup cols="4"> <colspec colname="c1" colnum="1" colwidth="1.0*"/> <colspec colname="c2" colnum="2" colwidth="1.0*"/> <thead> <row> <entry>H</entry> <entry>A</entry> </row> </thead> <tbody> <row> <entry>1</entry> <entry>2</entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </table> <table frame="all" width="500"> <title>This is table with fixed width</title> <tgroup cols="4"> <colspec colname="c1" colnum="1" colwidth="1.0*"/> <colspec colname="c2" colnum="2" colwidth="1.0*"/> <thead> <row> <entry>H</entry> <entry>A</entry> </row> </thead> <tbody> <row> <entry>1</entry> <entry>2</entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </table> <table frame="all" width="80%"> <caption>Nother table HTML</caption> <col width="50%"/> <col width="50%"/> <thead> <tr> <th>A</th> <th>B</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td/> <td/> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table frame="all" width="500"> <caption>Nother table HTML fixed width</caption> <col width="50%"/> <col width="50%"/> <thead> <tr> <th>A</th> <th>B</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td/> <td/> </tr> </tbody> </table> </para> </sect1> Sincerely, Mike Starovoytov Software Engineer CME Resource 1482 Stone Point Drive, Suite 120 Roseville, CA 95661-2839 Telephone: 800-232-4238, extension 193 Fax: (916) 783-6067 Email: mike.starov(a)netce.com

How to turn of file filtering when using workspace.chooseFile method?
by Michael Anthony Smith 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

I have been developing an oXygen plugin and am using oXygen's 'workspace.chooseFile' filter to provide the functionality for locating a file on disk. The aim is to have no filtering at all, so the user can see all the files in a directory. However, I have yet to workout the correct list of filter extensions to achieve this result on all operating systems (e.g. Windows 2008 R2, Windows 7, and Mac OS X.6). The current plugin is issuing the following command is: workspace.chooseFile("Choose file", new String[]{"*", "*.*"}, "Any file", ioArg == IOArg.OUTPUT); Therefore, the current filters are "*" and "*.*". Any suggestions appreciated.

Help needed with XSLT

I'm applying a transform to SVG documents, to make them validate against the SVG RNG schema. I have everything working EXCEPT the name spaces on the SVG element itself. These SVG documents where edited in Adobe Illistrator, and the original SVG element is: <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:a=" http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeSVGViewerExtensions/3.0/" xmlns:graph=" http://ns.adobe.com/Graphs/1.0/" xmlns:i=" http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeIllustrator/10.0/" xmlns:x=" http://ns.adobe.com/Extensibility/1.0/" xmlns:xlink=" http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> and what I want is: <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink=" http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> The stylesheet starts: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xd="http://www.oxygenxml.com/ns/doc/xsl" xmlns:i="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeIllustrator/10.0/" xmlns:a="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeSVGViewerExtensions/3.0/" xmlns:graph="http://ns.adobe.com/Graphs/1.0/" xmlns:x="http://ns.adobe.com/Extensibility/1.0/" exclude-result-prefixes="xs xd a x graph" xpath-default-namespace="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="2.0"> My understanding is that 'exclude-result-prefixes="xs xd a x graph"' should not copy over the namespaces identified, but a, x, and graph are still there in the output. My main template is below, and it keeps the namespace & extensions off of the child elements of SVG, just not the SVG node itself. <xsl:template match="@*|node()"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test=". = //i:pgf"/>  <xsl:when test=". = //@i:*" />  <xsl:when test=". = //metadata"/> <xsl:when test=". = //foreignObject"/> <xsl:when test=". = //switch">  <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> Any ideas?

Re: [oXygen-user] regression of oxygen 12.2: validation against rnc schema without .rnc extension on URL
by Tara Athan 20 Jun '11

20 Jun '11

I figured this out, quite by accident. "& in an href attribute must be escaped as &" This is an HTML rule, but apparently also applies to the href in your processing instruction, because when I tried my string with &, it works. *********************************** Before I updated to oXygen 12.2, I was able validate against a URL with a query string that generates an RNC schema ( the URL points to a PHP script that generates an RNC schema customized to the parameters in the query string). Now with the new <?xml-model?> tag, it does not recognize the URL, and gives an error message "SystemID: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\RuleML\WP1\schema\tests\validation_on_URL_w_query_string\test_validation_on_URL_w_query_string.xml Main validation file: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\RuleML\WP1\schema\tests\validation_on_URL_w_query_string\test_validation_on_URL_w_query_string.xml Engine name: oXygen Severity: error Description: There is no schema or DTD associated with the document. You can create an association either with the Associate Schema action or configuring in the Options the Preferences/Document Type Association list, or by creating a Validation Scenario. " I can (and you can too ;) manually verify that the URL is not broken, and does indeed point to an RNC schema. Also, when I use a redirect (on my server) that disguises this URL as a physical file with an .rnc extension, oXygen is able to validate against that. Below is the instance document that should validate. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xml-model href="http://ruleml.org/0.91/relaxng/schema_rnc.php?backbone=x3f&default=x7&terms…" type="application/relax-ng-compact-syntax"?> <RuleML xmlns="http://www.ruleml.org/0.91/xsd"> <Assert> <Exists> <Var>X</Var> <And> <Atom> <oid> <Var>X</Var> </oid> <Rel>P</Rel> </Atom> </And> </Exists> </Assert> </RuleML> The URL redirect that does validate is "http://www.ruleml.org/0.91/relaxng/naffologeq_relaxed.rnc" Could you please modify this feature so that the explicit .rnc extension is not required? There is no need for it to be required, as the schema type is specified with the @type attribute. I would report this as an issue, but I can't find the issue tracker from your website. Tara

Restoring XML element folding to a single xml document

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.

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).

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.
