XMLDSig with SHA-256
by Jirka Kosek 13 Apr '10

13 Apr '10

Hi, it is possible to change hash algorithm used for digital signing in oXygen? By default SHA-1 is used, but for example in Czech legislation requires usage of SHA-256 since 2010.

Warning message in Results window
by Gabrielle Burns 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

In Oxygen 11.2 and previous versions, the Results window lists this commonly repeated warning: The HTML tag "?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?" is not a valid HTML tag (it does not begin with an alphanumeric character). Each of the DITA templates provided in Oxygen includes this standard notation at the top of the xml file: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> Is there some action you recommend to eliminate this error, such as removing this tag at the top of the xml files? Thank you. Regards, Gabrielle Burns Information Products Developer BRO Software Applications Breault Research Organization, Inc. gburns(a)breault.com

Re: [oXygen-user] 11.2 XPath box in Find/Replace stuck?
by Sorin Ristache 02 Apr '10

02 Apr '10

Hello, From our tests the XPath field is disabled in the Find/Replace dialog only if the file size is larger than the minimum limit set in the option "Optimize loading ..." at the moment of opening the file in Text editing mode. If you increase the value of the minimum limit option above the file size *after* opening the file you have to reopen the file in order to disable the large file support for that file which will re-enable the XPath field. If the value of the option is larger than the file size when you open the file in Text editing mode *and* the XML file is well-formed the XPath field is enabled. This is the behavior that I get on Mac and Windows in both the current build (the Download page of the website) and the build 2010031611. If the value of the option is larger than the file size please attach a zip archive with a sample file for reproducing the problem.

validation problem for CODE element in docbook 5?
by Robert Nagle 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

Hi, I'm creating a docbook 5 document in the latest Oxygen, and got a strange validation error. Here is what I wrote: <para> <code> <meta content="Home Page for Dick Solomon." name="description" /> </code></para> Here is the error message I receive: SystemID: I:\My Documents\work-related\\quickguide.xml Engine name: Jing Severity: error Description: element "meta" not allowed anywhere; expected the element end-tag, text or element "alt", "anchor", "annotation", "biblioref", "classname", "exceptionname", "function", "indexterm", "initializer", "inlinemediaobject", "interfacename", "link", "methodname", "modifier", "olink", "ooclass", "ooexception", "oointerface", "parameter", "phrase", "remark", "replaceable", "returnvalue", "subscript", "superscript", "type", "varname" or "xref" Start location: 157:99 It seems that the validator is trying to process the contents of the code element when in fact the code element allows text inside it http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/code.html Or am I missing something obvious? -- Robert Nagle

Re: [oXygen-user] Format disables JQuery script( more files)
by Radu Coravu 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Hi Mark, I'm forwarding the solution to the users list, maybe some other people might find it useful. The problem is that by default pretty print in Oxygen collapses empty tags so that: <script type="text/JavaScript" xml:space="preserve" src="http://test/test.js"></script> becomes: <script type="text/JavaScript" xml:space="preserve" src="http://test/test.js"/> of course the 2 versions are XML equivalent but the browser wants only the first notation. So in the Oxygen Preferences->"Editor / Format / XML" page you can check the checkbox "Expand empty elements" to avoid problems like this when working with XHTML.

I have an XHTML page constructed in Oxygen 11.2. It contains a JavaScript that works until I click the "Format and Indent" menu icon. After I do that, the script no longer works. Note: the script does not appear to change - all of the changes occur within the body of the HTML. Is this normal? I can send you the HTML page with the css files if that would help. Mark

Self-completing elements

When I am entering elements into an XML or XSD file, the closing tag appears automatically, but that does not happen when I am working with HTML or XHTML. Is there a preferences setting to turn this on? I am using version 11.2 and it seems to me that earlier versions did the self-completion for HTML. Thanks, Mark

customizing doc type associations in AUTHOR? (Win 7 permissions)
by Robert Nagle 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

Hi, I am in XML Author in Win 7 and am trying to change some default settings when editing docbook. I don't like the fact that by default author will open up docbook files in Author view. I prefer for it to open in text/code view. I am using lots of xincludes, so if I open up the main index.xml, author will attempt to tie all the files together (it will also spit an error message if parts are not valid). That can be time-consuming. I see that when editing Document Type associations (DTA), you have the option to change default code view. That would seem to be the answer. But wait! 1)Oxygen is pushing me to create a duplicate DTA for docbook5 instead of editing the original DTA. This sounds logical, but really I have no idea what this means to work with a duplicated DTA. Does this mean there are now 2 DTAs pointing to Docbook instead of 1? How does Oxygen know which settings to use? Do I need to specify this in my project? How do I do this? Will I need to do this every time? 2)The other option is to change my role from Content Author to Developer. Developer seems to have edit power over DTA options. Assuming that I change my role to developer, when I change the view to Text view, it gives me this error: You have no write permissions to the store location of this document type:C:\Program Files (x86)\Oxygen XML Author 11\frameworks\docbook\docbook5.framework Now I have noticed two problems with trying to edit the original DTAs. 1)they get erased every time you upgrade. (This happens when I add something to the catalog file in that Oxygen directory too). 2)I have windows permission problems every time. On my Vista box, I would edit the Security settings for the docbook directory to allow full control; only doing this would allow Oxygen to make this change successfully. On my Win 7 box, this doesn't seem to be working. It seems to me that the Oxygen configuration options should only change things which Oxygen editor has the permissions to change. Relying on the user to figure out which security scheme to use seems unwise. Or I am totally doing this the wrong way? Thanks for your help. -- Robert Nagle

Nested xincludes
by coder＠bluegumtree.com 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

Hi, I'm having trouble using the oXygen debugger with a sequence of nested xincludes. When the first xinclude fails (which is expected in this instance), the error message says "include operation failed, reverting to fallback" but it doesn't seem to actually progress any further. <xi:include href="file:///home/projects/cms/story/screen_default.xml"> <xi:fallback> <xi:include href="http://localhost/cms/story/screen_default.xml"> <xi:fallback> <parseGridError url="file:///home/projects/cms/story/screen_default.xml" /> </xi:fallback> </xi:include> </xi:fallback> </xi:include> The second xinclude instruction works perfectly when it's not nested within the first xinclude. Does anyone know what the problem might be and how to fix it? S.

Per-project XML database collections?
by Tony Graham 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

It seems that connections to XML databases are saved as part of the overall <oXygen/> configuration. I would prefer if connections could also be project-specific since: - Multiple people work on the project, and it would be simpler if everybody didn't have to setup the connection individually. - The project already includes xcc.jar, so it would be simpler if <oXygen/> could locate the jar relative to the project file (since different people will have the project at different locations on their machines). - This particular database connection is only relevant to one project.

by Bogdan Goreci 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

Dear Oxygen user, We would like to announce the availability of Oxygen XML Editor version 11.2 Release Candidate. There are improvements in XML Author, XML development tools, support for large documents and SVN Client. (See the What's New section below for more information.) We welcome any suggestions you might have after testing the application. Download ======== http://www.oxygenxml.com/RC11.2/Windows/VM/oxygen.exe http://www.oxygenxml.com/RC11.2/Linux/VM/oxygen.sh http://www.oxygenxml.com/RC11.2/MacOSX/oxygen.tar.gz http://www.oxygenxml.com/RC11.2/All/oxygen.tar.gz http://www.oxygenxml.com/RC11.2/Eclipse/com.oxygenxml.editor_11.2.0.v201003… Please note that the new version 11.2 can upgrade a previous Oxygen installation or can be installed side-by-side. License ======= If you already have a version 11 license key then you can use it with the new release. If you don't, please use this temporary license key: ------START-LICENSE-KEY------ Registration_Name=Release Candidate 11.2 Company=- Category=Enterprise Component=XML-Editor, XSLT-Debugger, Saxon-SA Version=11 Number_of_Licenses=1 Date=03-11-2010 Trial=15 SGN=MC0CFDU1OiF13f0pYAd4x8P+17mbHPtPAhUAj0OeAgLw7a65qQcRR9gRupxVeoA\= -------END-LICENSE-KEY------- What's New in Oxygen 11.2 ============================ Version 11.2 of Oxygen XML Editor improves the XML Author, the XML development tools, the support for large documents and the SVN Client. Author Component: * Author Component Integration Author for DITA: * Reusable component * Add/remove content reference attribute to/from existing elements * Speed improvements when opening large DITA maps Author (Visual Editing) Mode: * Improvement in Outline view * Workspace access plugin * Format and indent only the modified content Author API: * Update the Outline view * Customize the Outline view * Customize the Breadcrumb * Update the status bar Text Editing Mode: * Improved handling of large documents * Improved the opening of documents with very long lines * Support for XQuery 1.1 transformations * Hexa viewer * New spell checker * Customizable font styles for syntax highlighting XSLT Debugger: * Debug XPath expressions Plugins API: * Mark resource read-only * Open Redirect plugin SVN Client: * Faster working copy load time * Automatic refresh of the working copy * More responsive repository browsing * Better handling for obstructed resources * Print or save as image a revision graph Component Updates: * Update DITA Open Toolkit * Update Saxon 9 Processor * Update the Libxml and Libxslt Libraries * Update TEI P5 framework * Update CSS Validator Details... Author Component ------------------------------------ * Author Component Integration An Author page component can be integrated in your Java application or applet. All features available for editing in the Oxygen XML Editor Author page are also available in the Author component. See demonstration and more details here: http://www.oxygenxml.com/demo/AuthorDemoApplet/author-component-dita.html Author for DITA ----------------------------------- * Reusable component A fragment of a topic can be extracted in a separate file for reuse in different topics. The component can be reused by inserting an element with a conref attribute where the content of the component is needed. * Add/remove content reference attribute to/from existing elements The DITA framework includes actions for adding, editing and removing a content reference (conref, conkeyref, conrefend attributes) to/from an existing element. * Speed improvements when opening large DITA maps When a map contains a large number of topic references now the map is opened three times faster in the DITA Maps Manager view. Author (Visual Editing) Mode ------------------------------------------------ * Improvement in Outline view The start of the content of an inline child element is displayed both in that element and in the parent element in the Outline view. The parent element may remain collapsed in the Outline view which makes the document navigation faster. * Workspace access plugin A new type of plugin was added. This plugin provides support for customizing the menus, toolbars and views of the application and for opening and closing documents. It is active in both Text mode and Author mode of all opened documents. * Format and indent only the modified content When saving files in the Author page only the modified XML elements are formatted. In this way you have fewer differences between the original file content and the saved one. Author API ------------------------------ New classes in Author API * Update the Outline view The current selection can be accessed and set in the Outline view from custom extensions of an Author framework. * Customize the Outline view The popup menu and the displaying and filtering of the tree nodes can be customized in the Outline view with an extension of an Author framework. * Customize the breadcrumb The text displayed in the node list of the Breadcrumb and the popup menu of the Breadcrumb can be customized with an extension of an Author framework. * Update the status bar The user can be notified about the status or the success of operations by updating the Oxygen status bar. This is usually preferable to displaying a dialog box. Text Editing Mode ------------------------------------- * Improved handling of large documents The support for large documents has been improved. Now the opening and editing of large documents is faster with or without line wrap enabled. * Improved the opening of documents with very long lines oXygen can now open documents with very long lines by using automatic line wrapping. However, only the basic editing features are available, while others are disabled: automatic spell checking and automatic validation, XPath from Find/Replace, etc. * Support for XQuery 1.1 transformations Saxon 9 EE which is bundled with Oxygen can run transformations with XQuery 1.1 files. * Hexa viewer This version of Oxygen includes a hexa viewer for viewing the bytes of each character of a document. * New spell checker Hunspell is now used for spell checking of edited documents in both Author editor and Text editor. The old spell checking engine AZ Check is also an available alternative. * Customizable font styles for syntax highlighting A font style(bold/italic) and a background color can be set for any token(tag, text, etc) that is displayed in an editor in Text mode. XSLT Debugger --------------------------------- * Debug XPath expressions Now the XSLT Debugger is capable to step into XSLT functions called from XPath 2.0 expressions when using the bundled Saxon-HE/PE/EE XSLT processor. Plugins API ------------------------------- * Mark resource read-only A resource opened with a custom protocol plugin can be marked as read-only. It can be used when opening resources from a CMS (content management system). * Open Redirect plugin This type of plugin is useful for opening more than one file with only one open action. For example when a zip archive or an ODF file or an OOXML file is opened in the Archive Browser view the plugin can decide to open also a file from the archive in a new XML editor panel, like the document.xml main file from an OOXML file archive. SVN Client ------------------------------ * Faster working copy load time A working copy is cached, so when it is loaded next time in the Working Copy view, the operation will be much faster than in the previous versions of Syncro SVN Client. * Automatic refresh of the working copy The working copy is automatically refreshed every time Syncro SVN Client gains focus, if changes are detected in the file system. This is done in order to update the state of the resources modified by external applications. * More responsive repository browsing You can configure the repository connections timeout and stop non-responsive repository browsing operations. * Better handling for obstructed resources Operations correctly take into account obstructed resources. * Print or save as image a revision graph Generated revision graphs can be printed or saved as images. Component Updates ------------------------------------- * Update DITA Open Toolkit DITA Open Toolkit was updated to version 1.5.1 M1. It includes a speed improvement implemented by caching the grammar pool used for transforming DITA files. * Update Saxon 9 Processor The Saxon 9 XSLT/XQuery processor was updated to version 9.2.0.6. * Update the Libxml and Libxslt Libraries The Libxml library was updated to version 2.7.6. The Libxslt library was updated to version 1.1.26. * Update TEI P5 framework The TEI P5 schemas were updated to version 1.6.0. The TEI XSL stylesheets were updated to version 5.20. * Update CSS Validator The W3C CSS Validator was updated to version 2.0. As always, your comments and suggestions are appreciated. Best regards, Oxygen Development Team

xProc/Upgrade Calabash?
by Markus Flatscher 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

How tightly is Calabash integrated with oXygen? I tried to get Calabash 0.9.19 to work from within oXygen; naively dropping the jar file lib/xproc/calabash obviously doesn't work, but neither does creating a new XProc engine instance under /Preferences/XML/XProc/XProc engines that points to a clean 0.9.19 installation. Is there a straightforward way to update Calabash on the user's end?

stylesheet documentation -- what language?
by Syd Bauman 01 Mar '10

01 Mar '10

My apologies if this has already been mentioned and I didn't notice. I have recently started using oXygen's documentation feature to generate HTML documentation for my XSLT stylesheets. I just went to find out something about a stylesheet, and looked at the documentation in my browser rather than opening the stylesheet. To my horror, I could not figure out if it was written in XSLT 1 or XSLT 2. It would be nice if somewhere near the top of the documentation there was an indication of the language the stylesheet is written in (currently only XSLT 1.0, 2.0, I guess, but there will be other possibilities in the future). Perhaps another box in the "main file" collapsible area would do the trick. Could also mention reliance on extension functions there, maybe? I'm currently using oXygen 11.1 (build 2009122213 on Mac OS X, but I doubt any of this matters).

new here...with a DocBook question
by André Wyrwa 01 Mar '10

01 Mar '10

Hei, my name's Andre and i just joined the list. I'm currently using a trial of oXygen Editor (the eclipse plugin installed in Aptana Studio) and am planning to buy the product. I'm primarily using the Author at this stage as a DocBook IDE. I'm not quite happy with the results of the transformation to PDF, particularly around Image scaling and general DocBook support. Image scaling: It seems the PDF transformation always scales images. That seems somewhat logical. However, i'm writing software documentation with a lot of screenshots. Other PDF exporter processes (like the one in OOo) manage to translate the screenshot's pixel size into a print unit (mm/pc/in) that matches the original image size more adequately. In the DocBook case, the stylesheet seems to make the images somewhat too large. Also, i couldn't find a way to limit the width of the scaled image to a maximum, but keep lower images at their original scale. Can anyone please help me with that? Tag support: It seems the transformation is a little incomplete/doesn't support some DocBook tags. Particularly, i have some 'task's in there that don't seem to translate into the PDF (they plain disappear including all their descendants). I'm using Apache FOP for FO processing and from what i gather that might be the problem. I'm running Linux and am happy to install xmlroff, if someone can confirm it helps. However, xmlroff seems incomplete, as well. Is there any 'complete' FO processor that would be the recommended choice? What are others using for DocBook to PDF transformations? Should i go via LaTeX instead? Lastly, i installed docbook2odf and setup a new transformation profile within oXygen that uses the docbook2odf stylesheets. Which at first sight seems to do the right thing, but when i try opening the resulting .odm (??) file in OpenOffice, the good thing throws me the ascii import dialog and i subsequently get the plain XML code in Writer. Thanks for any help or pointers, upfront. Andre.

XSLT doc: function signatures menu
by Florent Georges 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hi, Still about the oXygen documentation system for XSLT, the generated function summary (in the left-hand side panel) looks like: http://fgeorges.org/tmp/oxygen-doc-summary.png. In order to improve its readability, I'd like to suggest two changes: 1/ put no withespace in front of a function name, but put one in front of continuation lines (if the signatures continue on several lines) and 2/ do not put the param types in the signatures (anyway there is no overload on types). So instead of (as in the screenshot): gdata:auth-sub-session-token($token as xs:string) gdata:authenticate-login($service as xs:string, $email as xs:string, $pwd as xs:string) have instead: gdata:auth-sub-session-token($token) gdata:authenticate-login($service, $email, $pwd) Regards, -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/

Sections in XSLT documentation
by Florent Georges 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

Hi, Is there any way to document sections in a stylesheet, using oXygen XSLT documentation format? By section, I mean something like the following: <xd:doc scope="stylesheet"> <xd:desc><xd:p>Global stylesheet doc.</xd:p></xd:desc> </xd:doc> <xd:doc scope="section"> <xd:desc><xd:p>Utilities.</xd:p></xd:desc> </xd:doc> ... some components, with their doc ... <xd:doc scope="section"> <xd:desc><xd:p>Main templates.</xd:p></xd:desc> </xd:doc> ... some components, with their doc ... <xd:doc scope="section"> <xd:desc><xd:p>Additional mode.</xd:p></xd:desc> </xd:doc> ... some components, with their doc ... in order to generate doc with the following structure: Global stylesheet doc. 1. Utilities. ... 2. Main templates. ... 3. Additional mode. ... I have looked in the documentation (I mean the oXygen doc), but haven't found anything. Regards, -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/
