by Alin Belu 21 Sep '23

21 Sep '23

Hello everyone, We are happy to introduce you to *version 5.3.0* of the *Oxygen Git Client add-on*, your trusted companion for Git-related tasks, making version control and collaboration smoother and more efficient! The newest release of our add-on comes with the following key improvements: * *Enhanced Oxygen project detection.* We've fine-tuned our Oxygen project detection to ensure it works more smoothly, saving you valuable time and effort. * *Submodule precision.* Now, when you check out a branch, submodules in parent repositories will be checked out at the index defined in the parent repository. This means your submodules will always reflect the precise state of the parent repository at that time, ensuring your projects stay in sync. For more information on the Oxygen Git Client add-on (including the installation steps), you can check the page below: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-editor/topics/git-addon.html We hope that you will enjoy using the most recent release of the add-on as much as we enjoyed developing it. As always, your feedback is welcome! Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor

Refactoring functionality
by Oudkerk, Judith 18 Sep '23

18 Sep '23

Hello, I was wondering if you can use the refactoring functionality do the following: Replace all <entry>TEXT</entry> elements with <entry><p>TEXT</p></entry>. In other words, add a <p> element to all entry elements that already contain text (without a <p> element). I’m using Oxygen XML with Eclipse (and the Ixiasoft CCMS Web 6.3 version). I’ve been looking into the refactoring functionality, but I can’t find a way to do this. Thanks in advance for your help.

How to get Oxygen to generate an instance containing 100 child elements?
by Roger L Costello 06 Sep '23

06 Sep '23

Hello Oxygen team, I am using Oxygen to generate a sample XML instance from an XSD. Here's my simple XSD: <xs:schema xmlns:xs=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema> <xs:element name="test"> <xs:complexType> <xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:element name="A" fixed="A"/> <xs:element name="B" fixed="B"/> <xs:element name="C" fixed="C"/> </xs:choice> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema> Notice the repeatable xs:choice. I then selected Tools >> Generate Sample XML Files ... I want the tool to repeat the xs:choice 100 times. I "think" that I have specified this correctly. See screenshot below. However, the tool only repeats the xs:choice 16 times. Why is that? How to get the tool to generate 100 child elements? [cid:image001.png@01D9E0D1.F71DEAE0]

(DITA Arena) - Sorin Carbunaru* /ChatGPT took the world by storm. While some took shelter, others chose to spread their wings, ride the winds of change, and explore the new possibilities. So where exactly did these winds take the little DITA finch?// //In this presentation, we'll see what new prospects were opened up by AI for DITA content creators, as they are an excellent fit for AI adoption. Why? Because they can use it to boost their productivity, while also keeping the control in their hands by ensuring the content they deliver to the end-users is accurate./ *Wednesday, November 15, 11:30 – 12:15 (CET)** **Harnessing the Power of AI: Enhancing Technical Content Creation with Intelligent Prompts (Presentation) - Alex Jitianu* /In the past few years, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into various software development tools has witnessed remarkable growth, like the creation of GitHub Copilot software developer assistant.

How to prevent Format and Indent from modifying the content of specific elements?
by Roger L Costello 14 Aug '23

14 Aug '23

I have an XML document with elements that contain JSON code, e.g., <schema> "$schema": https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema, "type": "object", "properties": { "password": {"type": "string", "writeOnly": true} } </schema> When I click on the Format and Indent icon, I do not want that content to be changed. Is there a way to instruct Oxygen, "Hey, don't change the content of the <schema> element."? /Roger

Hi Roger, Thank you very much for the feedback. We use a third-party library for JSON Schema validation and, unfortunately, it does not support the "$anchor" and "$dynamicAnchor" keywords. This is mentioned as a limitation in our user-guide <https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/25.1/ug-editor/topics/json-validatin…>, but, indeed, the message displayed for "$anchor" is not accurate at all. We plan to provide full support for JSON Schema /Draft 2020-12/ in the near future by using another library. I will let you know when this support is ready.

Re: [oXygen-user] [OXYGEN-6406] The text in Oxygen is fuzzy with my new laptop
by Oxygen XML Editor Support (Adrian Buza) 07 Jul '23

07 Jul '23

Hi, I'm guessing this is v25.1 of Oxygen. Please specify if otherwise. The problem is most likely with the Windows scaling setting, probably different for each monitor. The old laptop probably had the same scaling for both (or a single setting system-wide). *Under Windows Settings > Display settings, check the display resolution and "scale and layout" for each monitor.* Currently Oxygen is only System DPI Aware, it is not Per-Monitor DPI Aware. So if you have two monitors (or laptop screen and monitor) with different DPI/scaling settings, it cannot change the scaling dynamically, if move it to another monitor. Oxygen uses the system wide scaling setting (the one of the primary display) detected at application startup, not the monitor-based scaling setting. * **Quick-fix to try, move Oxygen to the monitor you intend to use it on and restart Oxygen.* Regards, Adrian Adrian Buza oXygen XML Editor and Author Support On 06.07.2023 20:21, Roger L Costello wrote: > > Hi Adrian, > > Sorry, I should have provided the OS.

[ANN] The new Oxygen AI Positron Assistant brings chat history, editable entries, user-defined actions, and more!
by Alin Belu 03 Jul '23

03 Jul '23

Hello everyone, We are thrilled to introduce you to the newest version of the *Oxygen AI Positron Assistant* add-on! Version 0.9.3 comes with several exciting features, including a *chat history* so you can revisit previous chats and continue where you left off, *editable user entries* in chat to modify conversations and explore different paths, the introduction of *user-defined actions*, and the possibility to *provide project-specific details for more accurate AI responses*. The *AI Positron Chat* now provides an overall improved experience with the addition of the *History* drop down toolbar button that allows you to go back to previous conversations and continue them. You can also*edit prompts* in the chat discussion thread so you can change the conversation and continue from any point if you want to explore a different path. Additionally, the AI response appears incrementally, as soon as the AI starts generating it, and you now have the option to stop the generation of a response early if you do not consider it fit for your needs. Version 0.9.3 also introduces *user-defined AI actions*. The same approach used for defining built-in actions can now be used to specify actions on the client side through the usage of a JSON configuration file. It may even be linked to a project, making it simple to share actions with everyone who works on a certain project. The newest version of the add-on comes with the possibility to provide *additional options for an action*. To avoid creating too many related actions, it is now possible to specify different facets for an action that the user can choose. This can be best seen in the action that generates short descriptions, as it uses this customization to allow users in choosing different writing styles, such as clear or engaging, as well as setting the number of expected sentences that will be generated. The Oxygen AI Positron Assistant now enables you to *configure a context for all prompts* in the AI Positron Assistant Preferences page. This can be set to be project specific and it allows you to pass certain information to all the built-in actions, so that the AI model will generate better and more relevant results, as it becomes more knowledgeable about your context. It is also worth mentioning that the AI Positron *activity messages have been integrated into the AI Chat view* for a more streamlined and consolidated user experience, thus making the AI Activity View not needed anymore. For additional information on the *Oxygen AI Positron Assistant*, including the installation instructions, you can check out this article on the Oxygen XML Blog: https://blog.oxygenxml.com/topics/ai_positron.html For an in-depth presentation of the various features and use cases for the *Oxygen AI Positron Assistant*, you can view the recent recording of the *AI as a Tool for Technical Content Creation* webinar - https://oxygenxml.com/evs2023-7.html We want to remind you that we plan to frequently release new features and improvements, so please let us know what you think about the current version and stay tuned for exciting new versions of this add-on! Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor

Why is the JSON Schema $anchor not supported?
by Roger L Costello 22 Jun '23

22 Jun '23

When I add "$anchor" to my JSON Schema, the Oxygen editor gives this error message: The keyword "$anchor" is not part of JSON Schema Draft 2020-12 specification. Therefore, it is ignored by the validation engine. But that's not true. See section 8.2.2 of the 2020-12 specification (https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/json-schema-core.html#section-8.2.2) Using JSON Pointer fragments requires knowledge of the structure of the schema. When writing schema documents with the intention to provide re-usable schemas, it may be preferable to use a plain name fragment that is not tied to any particular structural location. This allows a subschema to be relocated without requiring JSON Pointer references to be updated. The "$anchor" and "$dynamicAnchor" keywords are used to specify such fragments. They are identifier keywords that can only be used to create plain name fragments, rather than absolute URIs as seen with "$id"...

[ANN] Webinar: AI as a Tool for Technical Content Creation (June 28, 2023)
by Alin Belu 15 Jun '23

15 Jun '23

Hello, On the *28th of June*, we invite you to join us for one of the most anticipated Oxygen XML live events - the *AI as a Tool for Technical Content Creation* webinar! In recent months, AI technology has advanced to the point where it is now applicable in a wide range of real-world situations. However, the AI-generated content is not always accurate, making it challenging to introduce this technology to end users. On the other hand, this is precisely why technical writers are an excellent fit for AI since they can serve as mediators between the AI and the end users, using it to boost their productivity while ensuring the content that they deliver is accurate. *Oxygen AI Positron Assistant* is a new plugin for the Oxygen XML tools that connects to the Open AI Chat GPT engine, introducing AI technology for supporting technical writing operations. To keep authors in control, the workflows are optimized to include preview of proposed AI changes and the possibility to refine the results. Custom AI interactions are also possible, and you can easily reuse them with support to save them as favorites. During this 1-hour live webinar, Sorin Carbunaru (senior software developer at Syncro Soft) will: * Show various use cases for the *Oxygen AI Positron Assistant*. * Explore the available actions and show how they can be invoked, refined, and the results previewed in the visual diff to analyze the document changes. * Demonstrate how you can define your own AI processing actions and mark them as favorites. * Highlight the tasks best suited for AI technology use. This is a free event, but registration is required. You can register at https://oxygenxml.com/evs2023-7.html To stay in touch with us and discover what other events we have planned for you, please make sure to check https://www.oxygenxml.com/events_programme.html Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor

[ANN] New release of Oxygen AI Positron Assistant brings chat, preview, new actions, and more
by Alin Belu 29 May '23

29 May '23

Hello everyone, We are excited to announce a new release for the *Oxygen AI Positron Assistant* add-on! Version 0.9.2 comes with a variety of exciting new features, including chat functionality, the ability to preview changes, AI-based quick fixes, AI-based XPath extension functions, and new AI actions for grammar corrections, content rewriting, and checking how your content responds to specific questions. The *AI Positron Chat* side-view provides a better user experience and more control when invoking AI actions, allowing you to see the response and preview its impact on the document using an action that triggers the visual XML-aware comparison. You can also further refine the responses by continuing the discussion with the *AI Positron* platform in the chat view. In a chat message, you can use editor variables that expand to the selected content or the entire document. These allow you to define flexible prompts, and the support to save favorites enables you to store and easily reuse the prompts you find useful. Along with the preview action for the AI responses, you can also use actions to insert the response into your document or copy the response to the system clipboard. Version 0.9.2 of the add-on improves the existing actions and contributes new AI actions: * *Correct Grammar* - Corrects the grammar and spelling of the selected content. * *Use Active Voice* - Converts the selected content from passive voice to active voice. * *Generate Questions* - Displays possible questions that the selected content or the entire document responds to. * *Answer Questions* - Displays AI responses to your questions found in either the selected content or the entire document. The add-on now also helps you with validation problems. If an error message provides a good description of the identified problem and eventually a hint on how to fix it, which is typically the case with Schematron errors, then you can take advantage of the *AI Positron Fix* quick-fix action that tries to find a solution to the validation problem. This action can be triggered from the contextual menu for the validation problems that are displayed in the application's Problems list. The add-on now also contributes two *XPath extension functions* that can be used from XSLT stylesheets, XQuery scripts, and from Schematron schemas to process content or to perform validation checks on existing content. Custom XML refactoring operations (based on XSLT or XQuery) can also take advantage of these AI functions, so you can apply batch processing on multiple documents. For additional information on the *Oxygen AI Positron Assistant* add-on, including the installation instructions, you can check out this article on the Oxygen XML Blog: https://blog.oxygenxml.com/topics/ai_positron.html We want to remind you that we plan to frequently release new features and improvements, so please let us know what you think of the current version and stay tuned for exciting new versions of this add-on! Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor

Hi, I am trying to convert xslt with msxls vbscript generated out of MS Access application to xslt only file by converting VBScript functions to xslt native functions. Does Oxygen have this functionality? It may not have to be automated, however, beneficial if it could. Please let me know. Regards, Sudhakar

Schematron doesn't respect the full path in the test attribute.
by Danny MacMillan 18 May '23

18 May '23

Hello, Consider the following XML: <?xml version="1.0"?> <root> <relevant> <element relevant-attribute="this attribute exists only on elements under relevant"/> </relevant> <irrelevant> <element/> </irrelevant> </root> And the following Schematron: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <schema xmlns="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron" queryBinding="xslt3" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:map="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/map"> <ns prefix="map" uri="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/map"/> <let name="some-map" value="map {}"/> <pattern> <rule context="/*/relevant/element[map:contains($some-map, @relevant-attribute)]"> <assert test="true()">Impossible</assert> </rule> </pattern> </schema> When I validate the XML with the Schematron, Oxygen prints a warning that an empty sequence is not allowed as the second argument to map:contains, which I've determined is because it is testing the "element" elements under "irrelevant". I know this because if I add a second such element, the error prints twice. If I have 9, the error prints 9 times. But why is it testing that element? I deliberately used xpath that navigates via the parent because I want to include only elements under that parent, but it seems that it's looking at all elements, anywhere in the document, named 'element'. Is this expected? I can silence the warning if I explicitly check for the presence of the attribute: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <schema xmlns="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron" queryBinding="xslt3" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:map="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/map"> <ns prefix="map" uri="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/map"/> <let name="some-map" value="map {}"/> <pattern> <rule context="/*/relevant/element[@relevant-attribute and map:contains($some-map, @relevant-attribute)]"> <assert test="true()">Impossible</assert> </rule> </pattern> </schema> But not if I precede the broken rule with a rule that should equivalently prevent the broken rule from firing on those elements: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <schema xmlns="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron" queryBinding="xslt3" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:map="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/map"> <ns prefix="map" uri="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/map"/> <let name="some-map" value="map {}"/> <pattern> <rule context="/*/relevant/element[not(@relevant-attribute)]"> <assert test="true()">Impossible</assert> </rule> <rule context="/*/relevant/element[map:contains($some-map, @relevant-attribute)]"> <assert test="true()">Impossible</assert> </rule> </pattern> </schema> Thanks, -- Danny MacMillan Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/) secure email.

Schematron validation of documents using XInclude succeeds when it should fail.
by Danny MacMillan 12 May '23

12 May '23

Hello, I'm going through the Schematron book by Erik Siegel and one of his examples improperly passes validation in Oxygen XML while it correctly fails validation using SchXslt. The code for the book is here: [https://github.com/xatapult/schematron-book-code](https://github.com/xatapu… I open both examples/additional-features/subdocuments-1.sch and data/subdocuments-master.xml from that project in Oxygen and select the tab with the XML file. Then I click the dropdown on the Validation button on the toolbar and click Validate with... and then I select the subdocuments-1.sch file using the dropdown. When I proceed Oxygen says it passes. This is the same approach I have used for all other examples in the book. But I created an explicit validation scenario for this also and it behaves the same way. Note that if you want to test this you should clone the repository because the subdocuments-master.xml file incorporates other files in the repository by reference using XInclude and this is indeed what seems not to be working in Oxygen. By contrast if I run the same validation using the schxslt-cli.jar I get the following, expected result. [invalid] /home/user/task/schematron-book-code/data/subdocuments-master.xml [invalid] /home/user/task/schematron-book-code/data/subdocuments-master.xml failed-assert /Q{}document[1]/Q{}p[1] The class brightred is forbidden (file:/home/user/task/schematron-book-code/data/subdocuments-2.xml)! I am using the latest Oxygen: <oXygen/> XML Editor 25.1, build 2023042509 Thanks, -- Danny MacMillan Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/) secure email.
