XPath from Project context menu
by Wendell Piez 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Hi, One of the features I use most in oXygen is, of course, the XPath evaluation toolbar. Another is the context menus in projects, for validating files or sets of files (against their own or ad-hoc schemas), transforming them and what not. I can't believe I've worked all this time without wanting to query XPath over a file set directly from the Project View. But actually I have. It's just that I usually write a little XQuery or Schematron, or work through the Find/Replace in Files dialogue, or find another way to get to the data I want. Each of these has strengths and weaknesses. But I bet it wouldn't be difficult for the oXygen magicians to give me a little entry box right-clicking a selection in the Project View, where I could type my XPath directly ... or am I missing something?

Oxygen kicks me out of Author mode because of URL problem?
by Robert Nagle 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Hi, I'm having a really annoying problem with XML Author 12 Beta.. It sometimes has problems keeping me in Author mode because of an inability to resolve a URL in my xincluded files. (It's a docbook 5 project). In the example below, it wouldn't let me use the Bold toolbar button because of this. Here's the Couldn't execute operation: 'ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.SurroundWithFragmentOperation' for action: 'Bold' because of: Could not surround in fragment. Cause: The host did not accept the connection within timeout of 20000 ms (http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/iso8879/isopub.ent) The top of my xinclude file has this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE book [ <!ENTITY % isopub SYSTEM "http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/iso8879/isopub.ent"> %isopub; ]> <chapter xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="5.0" xml:id="sharing-files "> I'm using this reference to be able to reference entities like – etc in my docbook files. 2 interesting things: 1)I can easily access this http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/iso8879/isopub.ent from my browser. 2)I actually have a local version of this isopub.ent in my file. (In fact, it's news to me that I am required to seek a external URL at all). So: 1)What would I need to do so that Oxygen will look for the local file rather than seeking it on the Net? 2)Why do you think this problem is occurring? Thanks for your help. -- Robert Nagle htpt://www.robertnagle.info

Empty the Calabash's cache
by Florent Georges 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

Hi, The source port of an XProc pipeline is connected to a file on the file system: <p:input port="source"> <p:document href="input.xml"/> </p:input> I run the pipeline with the built-in scenario "Self XProc, no input no output". If I modify input.xml and run the piepline again, the changes are not picked up. A feature of Calabash is to cache all inputs in memory (I think). So I guess the same processor is kept in memory by oXygen, but I think oXygen should empty the Calabash's cache between two runs of the pipeline (or get rid of the processor and instantiate it again if this is not possible). Besides, this pipeline loops over a lot of files, so that means they are kept in memory "for ever" (as long as oXygen itself is alive). Regards, -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/

Schema translator tool: from XSD to *
by Florent Georges 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

Hi, Is there any reason why the oXygen's schema translator tool does not support translation from an XSD schema? I used to use rngconv from the command line, but it would be nice to have it integrated within oXygen. But maybe that's because of a licence issue, I don't know.

mystery: content-height validation problem with XEP
by Robert Nagle 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi, I have a weird problem and am flummoxed. I have oxygen 11.2 + xep + docbook 5. Up until now I've had no problem rendering it with the XEP engine. Settings are right, The docbook project validates according to Oxygen. However, if I try to do the usual transform to make a PDF from XEP, I get this enigmatic error without producing a PDF. Started: "C:\Program Files (x86)\XEP\xep.bat" -fo "I:\My Documents\work-related\myproject\index.xml_xslt" -pdf "I:\My Documents\work-related\myproject\myproject.pdf" (document [system-id file:/I:/My Documents/work-related/myproject/index.xml_xslt] (validate [error] Attribute 'content-height' cannot have a value of "px". [validation total: 1 error] Parse error: Invalid XSL FO source 'file:/I:/My Documents/work-related/myproject/index.xml_xslt': 1 error found during validation Process ended with exit code: 0 I have no idea what's going on. I understand that it's talking about FO (I sort of understand what it is). To my knowledge I have not specified content-height anywhere in the xinclude files or the customization layer. I cannot find px anywhere. The PDF generates successfully if I switch the rendering engine to Apache FO, but that does not help. My customization layer is pretty basic (see below), and I have not changed anything recently. I realize I have not given you a lot of information here, but can you guess where the problem lies or how to solve it? I get the sense that the problem may lie with my images in my source xml, but I just don't know. Any guesses? Thanks....

Focus is not changes when I open already opened file
by Jirka Kosek 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

Hi, I'm suing oXygen 11.2. When I open file (File -> Open) which is already opened, nothing happens. My recollection is that older version of oXygen moved focus to that file in this case. Is there some new parameter to control this behaviour which I have missed, or it is permanent degression?

XInclude and ID/IDREF validation
by Wendell Piez 23 Jul '10

23 Jul '10

Hi, This is a classic problem, probably with a simple solution (or workaround), but I can't locate it. What can I do to get ID/IDREF to work across file boundaries when using XInclude to construct a document with several modules? I have tried setting up a Validation Scenario naming the master document, and when subordinate modules are validated, this appears to be working, inasmuch as I get validation errors for all modules (including the master) when I validate any of them. But IDREF values in attributes fail validation when their corresponding ID values are in other modules. I am figuring that this is either a setting I have failed to make correctly (where should I be looking?), or maybe a limitation of some kind, such as that when XInclude is involved, only attributes named @xml:id are respected (this is a wild guess), not just any attribute declared as type ID in the DTD (which is what I have). Or maybe I will have to consider going back to external parsed entities? I am very reluctant to do this, since the subordinate documents need their own DOCTYPE declarations to pick up entity declarations of their own, and of course these aren't legal in external parsed entities. I know this is/was a bugaboo in the specification of XInclude, but was figuring that in the time since its inception, solutions have emerged.... Thanks for any tips, as always.

XML Author: Chokes on Big Images?
by Robert Nagle 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Two days ago I asked a question about Oxygen's ability to process lots of images. Thanks for the reply by the way with the tip about XEP. I have a related question which is annoying me, and I think it is an Oxygen-related question (and not an XEP question). In Docbook 5 I am using xincludes, and I am using 300 dpi images (with dimensions ranging from 1200 x 1500 more or less). They are jpg file at 100% quality and range from 600K to 1 MB. One of the files is 2300x1500 In my Docbook 5 project I scale the image so that the size when printed is about 3 inches. But here's the thing. After I add as few as three images to a chapter (and sometimes less), XML Author pretty much grinds to a halt. The chapter is an xinclude file. (I'm in Windows Vista 64 bit and have 4 gigs RAM, and RAM usage by Oxygen goes up to about 700,000 or 800,000 MB RAM. I can continue editing, but very slowly. Once I switch back to XML mode, everything is fine. I have gotten no validation errors or anything like that, and the xml file itself is not overly big (30 K). I've tried to open the same xml file on a different machine, a 64 bit Windows 7 with 4 Gigs RAM. I receive the same slowdown. Is this typical? Do you have any suggestions about how to avoid this slowdown? It's gotten so bad that I've had to comment out the images until I have to produce the PDF (a real pain). At the moment each of my mediaobjects have 2 imageobjects. The 2nd is an empty folder for a web version of the same image. If worse comes to worse, I could delete this extra imageobject, but eventually I need to add it. <screenshot> <mediaobject> <imageobject role="html"> <imagedata fileref="web-images/"/> </imageobject> <imageobject role="fo"> <imagedata fileref="fo-images/history-byline.jpg" contentwidth="10cm"/> </imageobject> <textobject> <phrase>.</phrase> </textobject> <caption> <para>If your content is being versioned, you will see a History hyperlink near the byline. </para> </caption> </mediaobject> </screenshot> -- Robert Nagle

Help with XProc - Relax NG validation pipeline
by John Madden 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hi guys, (First of all, forgive this long missive...) I'm trying to write and XProc step that: 1. takes as input (a) an XML document and (b) a Relax NG schema (or-- in an alternative design--parameters that are the file system location of (a) and (b)) 2. runs the validation using Jing 3. outputs the Jing error messages (if any, wrapped appropriately in an xml container element) to an output port 4. passes through the input XML document unchanged (or, possibly, annotated in some way) to another output port (note: step 3 is exactly what Jing itself does when invoked via the command line, namely outputs error messages, if any, to system out) Okay, so you say, "What's your problem? Just use <p:validate-with-relax-ng>." Aha, but, the output of <p:validate-with-relax-ng> is defined as "a copy of the input, possibly augmented by application of the [RELAX NG DTD Compatibility]." There is no output port defined for validation error messages. If the validation fails (and @assert-valid is true), then validation failure will throw an XProc (e.g. Calabash) error. But nowhere do I see any built-in capability in <p:validate-with-relax-ng" to recover the specific validation error messages produced by the validation engine (in this case Jing). Okay, fine. So I decide I'll do my own declare-step and I'll use <p:exec> to manually invoke Jing via its command line interface. Here's what I have so far: <p:declare-step xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc-step" xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc"> <p:input port="source"> <p:empty/> </p:input> <p:output port="result"> <p:pipe port="result" step="validate-with-rng"/> </p:output> <p:exec args="-jar /path-to-jing/jing.jar schema.rng doc.xml" command="java" cwd="/working-path" name="validate-with-rng" result-is-xml="false" wrap-result-lines="true"/> </p:declare-step> Fine, now when my document has validation error, I get nicely wrapped Jing error messages on the output port, that e.g. look something like this: <c:result> <c:line>/working-path/example.xml:54:35: error: value of attribute "foo" is invalid; must be equal to "x", "y" or "z"</c:line> <c:line>/working-path/example.xml:207:16: error: element "bar" incomplete; missing required element "something"</c:line> </c:result But now I've got a problem. I want to make this whole validation step generic, so instead of hard coding the value of //p:exec/@args, I'd like to pass in the locations of (i) Jing, (ii) of the schema, and (iii) of the input document as parameters (or maybe as little xml document rather than as p:parameters). Then I'd like to compute the jing command line. Uh-oh. I've tried all kinds of ways to get this to work, but there are problems. For one thing the value of //p:exec/@args seems to be untypedAtomic. When I try to construct a string and put it in as a value of //p:exec/@args, Calabash complains about the type being inappropriate. What about giving Jing the schema and document as inputs via a pipe? That doesn't seem to work -- Jing wants its paramaters on the command line. So, can somebody help me out of this thicket with some suggestions? Thanks, John P.S. The official specification of <p:validate-with-schematron> strikes me as much better than that of <p:validate-with-relax-ng>. The signature of <p:validate-with-schematron is: <p:declare-step type="p:validate-with-schematron"> <p:input port="parameters" kind="parameter"/> <p:input port="source" primary="true"/> <p:input port="schema"/> <p:output port="result" primary="true"/> <p:output port="report" sequence="true"/> <p:option name="phase" select="'#ALL'"/>  <p:option name="assert-valid" select="'true'"/>  </p:declare-step> So <p:validate-with-schematron> has a standard output port named "report" that makes the error messages from the validation engine accessible. By contrast, <p:validate-with-relax-ng> lacks any such port in its signature: <p:declare-step type="p:validate-with-relax-ng"> <p:input port="source" primary="true"/> <p:input port="schema"/> <p:output port="result"/> <p:option name="dtd-attribute-values" select="'false'"/>  <p:option name="dtd-id-idref-warnings" select="'false'"/>  <p:option name="assert-valid" select="'true'"/>  </p:declare-step> I don't like that! Does anyone else but me dislike it too?

Hey guys/gals, I am using oxygen 11 on ubuntu 9.4. I have a bunch of remote files that I "Imported" into my project. However oxygen is spawning a ton of ftp connections, like 3 for every file I open.

DITAVAL content is not being used appropriately in Oxygen 11.2 when transforming to PDF using DITA-OT
by Steve Matlock 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Summary: DITAVAL content is not being used appropriately in Oxygen 11.2 What I’m doing: 1. I have a set of DITA tasks and concepts that are included in a Map file that is included in a Bookmap file. 2. The tasks and concepts have tags that use the audience attribute with a value set to the locale I want to include or exclude, such as audience=”US” or audience=”UK” 3. Some of the tasks and concepts use conrefs to other content that also includes the audience attribute set to the value I want. 4. In most cases I specify a single value for the audience. 5. In some cases, I specify multiple audiences such as <p audience="XML US">text goes here</p> for content that is for XML users in the US only. 6. I have a set of DITAVAL files that contain the include and exclude statements, such as <prop action="include" att="audience" val="US" /> and <prop action="exclude" att="audience" val="UK" />. They also contain include/exclude statement for other values such as <prop action="exclude" att="audience" val="XML" />. 7. My Oxygen Transform refers to the DITAVAL file I want to use. I specified it by browsing to it in the dialog box so the path is correct. 8. At transform time, the DITA-OT transforms the content into a PDF. This all works fine in that the file builds. However, the audience attribute for “US” or “DE” or whatever is not being respected for the transform, while the audience attribute for the other values (such as audience=”XML” or audience=”HTML”) is working. A. I’m at a loss to figure out what is causing the problem. Is it specifying more than one value in the audience (line 5, above)? Is this not the right way to specify multiple audiences? B. Is the problem that I’m specifying a value to include (XML) and a value to exclude (US) in the same tag (see line 5, above)? If (B) is true, then how would I specify content that should be included for XML users, but only if they're in the US? I have multiple users (XML, HTML, PHP, and so on) and multiple locales (UK, US, DE, and so on). I'm probably missing some very obvious feature of DITA, but that goes without saying.

Profiling on MarkLogic
by Florent Georges 25 Jun '10

25 Jun '10

Hi, From the documentation, it is not clear, but it seems the profiling support is only available for Saxon (and not for neither eXist nor Marklogic). Is that correct? Regards, -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/

Re: [oXygen-user] Default content for new files
by Adrian Buza 25 Jun '10

Hello, You can't customize the new XQuery document but you can create an XQuery template file(e.g. mytemplate.xquery) and copy it to [oxygen-installation-folder]/templates. Afterwards when you go to File -> New -> 'From templates' you will find your template in the list.

Oxygen 11 installed, builds now failing
by Steve Matlock 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

I just installed Oxygen 11 and now my builds are failing. They were working with Oxygen 10 on this PC. Here is the error messages as I can discern them: [java] Warning: at xsl:stylesheet on line 39 column 61 of i18n-postprocess.xsl: [java] Running an XSLT 1.0 stylesheet with an XSLT 2.0 processor C:\Program Files (x86)\Oxygen XML Editor 11\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\demo\fo\build.xml:306: The following error occurred while executing this line: [[[there are several lines like this, followed by this entry:]]] C:\Program Files (x86)\Oxygen XML Editor 11\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\demo\fo\build.xml:475: Java returned: 1

Docbook 5 Author mode: way to add indexterm elements?
by Robert Nagle 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

I have been using Author XML for months now to make a docbook book. Really loving it. It's very powerful and makes me productive. However, I am surprised to find that there's not a Docbook toolbar button or context menu option to create an indexterm element. An indexterm is necessary to build a decent index for your book. http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/indexterm.singular.html usually it looks like this: <indexterm> <primary>Abraham Lincoln </primary> <secondary>Gettysburg Address </secondary> </indexterm> I am having to drop out of Author mode into XML mode to add <indexterm> every two paragraphs or so. Am I missing this feature or is it something which the developers just haven't gotten around to yet? Thanks. Robert Nagle

better validation of Schematron schema
by Lars Huttar 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

Hi, My request here does not have to do with validating an XML document against a Schematron schema, but rather, finding out whether Schematron schema itself is valid. I'm pleased with Oxygen's support for Schematron, including ISO Schematron. Oxygen really has excellent coverage of XML-related tools. However I have the following enhancement request. When I'm editing a schema foo.sch in oXygen, I can press Ctrl+Shift+V and it does something, and says "Document is valid." I guess it's validating the schema against an RNG schema for Schematron? I don't know. What I do know is that its validation is not as complete as the validation for XSLT stylesheets. It helpfully validates the presence of elements and attributes that are dis/allowed in Schematron (old and ISO versions); but it does not validate the XPath in test expressions. Just now I had an assert whose test attribute's value was not well-formed XPath: <sch:assert test="../../row1/thing[@id = current()/transform[@type = 'From']/target/@id"> Note that I'm missing a final square-bracket in the test expression. Yet Oxygen tells me the Schematron schema is valid. It was only when I tried to *use* the Schematron schema that it told me about the missing ']'. And at this point it's quite a bit harder to debug, because often you're using a manually-constructed pipeline where you have an XSLT transforming your Schematron schema to another XSLT, and then the latter is used to validate your XML document. So you have to sort through several layers to figure out where the problem is. So my request is for stronger validation for Schematron schemas. I'm not sure of the best way to accomplish this... Maybe Oxygen could go ahead and transform the schema to an XSLT using e.g. iso_svrl.xsl and iso_schematron_skeleton.xsl (in the case of ISO Schematron); then validate the result as an XSLT stylesheet. This should take care of the above problem, malformed XPath expressions. It may not be straightforward to map any errors back to a particular point in the original schema, but at least we'd know whether the schema was valid or not, and we'd be better off than we are now, catching errors while editing the schema instead of when using the schema. Thanks for your consideration, Lars

code template for identity transform
by Lars Huttar 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Dear Oxygen folks, I often find the need to insert an identity transform template into an XSLT stylesheet I'm writing, but I don't always remember the correct XPath for the match pattern and the apply-templates/@select, and it's a nuisance to have to keep looking it up. A few times I've created a code template in Oxygen for it, but it keeps disappearing as I upgrade Oxygen. Would you consider adding this code template to the built-in list for the XSL editor? It seems like it would be useful to a lot of XSL developers. Name: id Description: Identity transform. Associate with: XSL Editor. Content:  <xsl:template match="@* | node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> No doubt you can tweak the content if there is a more approved variation on the above. Thanks for your consideration, Lars
