adding catalog entries in Oxygen
by Robert Nagle 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Ok, problem solved (mostly), more information and a lingering question. Voila! I noticed that the 1.7.5.2 xsl package I downloaded already includes a catalog.xml file http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/1.75.2/catalog.xml So all I really need to do is link Oxygen's preferences to that specific catalog.xml file on my local machine. So, really, all I need to do is go to Preferences --> XML --> XML Catalog --> NEW Xml catalog --> Browse to catalog.xml in local xsl root (file:/I:/My%20Documents/xml/docbook-xsl-1.75.2/catalog.xml). When I right-click the href value and click Open File at Caret, it opens in the frameworks directory (not the path I gave it) to the default xsl file (which is 1.7.5.1). Humpf! If I change the xsl: import to <xsl:import href=" http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/1.75.2/epub/docbook.xsl"/> and do the same thing, the correct file opens up in my editor. Horray! Although I've solved the problem, why didn't it work the first time? The catalog.xml file for the 1.7.5.1 looks pretty similar to the 1.7.5.2 one (although I noticed the absolute path for 1.7.5.2 is http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/ but for 1.7.5.1 it's http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/current/ Any idea? Thanks. Robert ....................................................................... Hello, You should add the XML catalog of DocBook XSL 1.75.2 on the first position in the list of XML catalogs of the DocBook doctype that is available in Preferences -> Document Type Association. If you are a content author (you are not allowed to edit the document type) you have to duplicate the DocBook 4 or DocBook 5 document type and add I:\My Documents\xml\docbook-xsl-1.75.2\catalog.xml on the Catalogs tab of the dialog for editing the document type: http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/dg-complex-customization-tutorial.ht… If your catalog is on the first position it will be parsed before the built-in catalog of Oxygen. You can check that the XML catalog is used by right click on the href value of <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/docbook.xsl"/> and run the action Open File at Caret. The action should open the stylesheet from I:\My Documents\xml\docbook-xsl-1.75.2. Regards, Sorin

DITA-OT & Oxygen
by John Fitzpatrick 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

I've created a two-pane XHTML publishing output using DITA-OT 1.4.3. This XHTML Knowledgebase has a search facility and JavaScript collapsible TOC, both of which were implemented using custom plugins to the vanilla DITA-OT v1.4.3. I'd like to be able to use this output format alongside our other outputs from Oxygen. To publish my output I have to run the following within a DOS shell ant -f my_build_file.xml Oxygen runs transformations as follows "c:\program files\oxygen xml editor 10.3\jre/bin/java" -Xmx256m -classpath "C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor 10.3/tools/ant/lib/ant-launcher.jar" etc ... ... ... 1) Can I my 'ant' scripts directly with oXygen's version of DITA-OT? 2) Do I need to change my build file to be run using Java at command line? 3) How do I integrate custom build files with oXygen? 4) Can I integrate plugins into the DITA-OT version that's shipped with oXygen? Thanks John

adding catalog entries in Oxygen
by Robert Nagle 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

I'm having a tough time understanding the process for adding to the catalog. I am trying to make oxygen default to the 1.7.5.2 Docbook version (which was released a few weeks ago). I want to keep a local version available on my Windows machine. I understand that I need to add something to the catalog, but where? First, I see C:\Program Files (x86)\Oxygen XML Editor 10\frameworks\docbook\xsl\catalog.xml has this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog">  <rewriteURI uriStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/current/" rewritePrefix="./"/> <rewriteSystem systemIdStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/current/" rewritePrefix="./"/> <rewriteURI uriStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/1.75.1/" rewritePrefix="./"/> <rewriteSystem systemIdStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/1.75.1/" rewritePrefix="./"/> </catalog> I'm not 100% sure, how I'd edit this file. Oxygen tells me that this file isn't editable (because it's under Program Files, not user space). Would the appropriate syntax be something like this: <rewriteURI uriStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/1.75.2/" rewritePrefix="I:\My Documents\xml\docbook-xsl-1.75.2\"/> <rewriteSystem systemIdStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/1.75.2/" rewritePrefix="I:\My Documents\xml\docbook-xsl-1.75.2\"/> If I created an identical catalog.xml in my user folder (I:\My Documents\xml\docbook-xsl-1.75.2\) but switched out 1.7.5.2 for 1.7.5.1, would that be right? Then Options --> Preferences --> XML Catalog --> Add new catalog --> browse for this new catalog.xml is there an easy way for me to verify that the new local version of xsl file is actually being used? If I just declare I<xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/docbook.xsl"/> in my stylesheet, would that be enough (while taking slight hits on performance while the file is being downloaded). Thanks. Robert Nagle

Relax NG Pluggable Datatype Libraries
by Georges Discry 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hi, I'm trying to add XHTML5 support to oXygen XML editor (Eclipse plugin) using the Relax NG schema files from validator.nu[1]. However, parsing the RNC files fails because of the Datatype Library with the "http://whattf.org/datatype-draft" namespace: > datatype library "http://whattf.org/datatype-draft" not recognized | html5/web-forms.rnc Validator.nu provides a Pluggable Datatype Library[2][3] for that namespace. I've copied it in the ${oxygenHome}/lib/ directory and even added it to the XHTML5 classpath in the Document Type Association preferences. However, it doesn't solve the issue. I don't know if it's a problem with the .jar, the service for org.relaxng.datatype.DatatypeLibraryFactory or something else and I don't know what to do to make it works. Thanks for your help, Georges Discry [1] http://s.validator.nu/ [2] http://www.thaiopensource.com/relaxng/pluggable-datatypes.html [3] http://s.validator.nu/html5/datatype/java/

I think there are two orthogonal things here: the convenient user input facility (besides plain strings, you can use a select file dialog box, but also a calendar selection, etc.) And in addition, you can either give the data in the scenario, or ask for interactive input each time the scenario is run. I was asking for the second feature here (interactive input,) but sure, I think the first one (different input methods) is very interesting too! Regards, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/

Feature Request: Transform Scenario Variables for Path and Name of Input XML Document
by Eliot Kimber 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

When developing transforms it is usually more convenient to have a scenario that is applied to the transform rather than its input documents, because the input documents often vary but the transform is constant (and it's what I'm editing--I may not even have the input document open in the editor). However, the ${cfd} and ${cfn} variables reflect the document to which the scenario was applied. What I would like is variables that reflect the value of the XML URL scenario parameter so that I can, for example, have the output go wherever the XML input doc is.

Interactively ask the user for a param value
by Florent Georges 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi, Is there any way to tell oXygen to ask the user interactively for a parameter value, each time a specific scenario is executed? To give a concrete example, let's say one stylesheet parameter is a password: <xsl:param name="password" type="xs:string"/> Of course, I don't want to store it in the XPR project file, as a clear string. That would be perfect if we were able to say in a scenario definition: "ask for the 'password' param using a dialog box each time this scenario is executed." Did I miss it in the documentation?

How to Force Open Toolkit to Use Saxon 9?
by Eliot Kimber 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

I'm running the Toolkit from Oxygen. I'm using the 1.5 version that I've swapped into the base one. I'm finding that when I run the Toolkit through Oxygen I'm getting Xalan, not Saxon 9 when I must have XSLT 2 (and the 1.5 Toolkit includes Saxon 9 in its dist). I have been unable to figure out what I have to do in this scenario to make the Ant-driven process use Saxon. What am I missing?

10.3 DITA Editor Behaviors
by Eliot Kimber 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

I'm using DITA 10.3 - The ID generator is nice but it would be nice if it generated much shorter IDs. It looks like it's generating UUIDs but in most cases it would be sufficient if the generated ID incorporated the ID of the root topic and a shorter value, such as a 5-digit serial number. Since IDs for elements other than topics only need to be unique within their containing parent topic, there's no need for long or globally-unique IDs (and there shouldn't *ever* be a need for such IDs, but I realize that some CMS systems impose that requirement). - The ID generator does not modify IDs on copy--that means if I create a topic within a parent topic and then copy it, I get a "duplicate ID" validation error and have to go manually fix the ID. Copy (as opposed to move) should act like create and assign a new ID. If Oxygen can't reliably distinguish move from copy then the current behavior is better than resetting an existing ID value. - The behavior of the insert topic ref dialog when you select "append child" is to continue appending children, so if you keep the dialog open after doing say "insert topicref to currently-edited file" and don't change the insertion location, the next topic inserted is inserted as a child of the one you just inserted, which is almost *never* what I want. In almost every case that I've inserted a topic and then want to insert more, I'm inserting children of the initial parent topicref that all exist in the same directory as the topic I just inserted. That is, I think it would make more sense for the dialog to *always* revert to "insert after" behavior even if the origin insertion was an "append child" insert.

Topicref Insertion Feature Request: Recognize Maprefs Vs. Topicrefs
by Eliot Kimber 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

One side effect of the new behavior I requested whereby the topicref insertion dialog remembers the last topicref type used is that if you insert a map reference and then insert a topicref, you'll get a mapref by default, which is never right. Would it be possible for the insertion dialog to look at the type of the target, once it is selected, and select the first topicref that specifies a value for format that matches the target type if the currently-selected type isn't appropriate? That is, given that I last inserted a topic and I select a map, see if there are any available topicref types that specify format="ditamap" and, if so, select the first one. For DITA 1.2 there will usually be at least <mapref> in the default map shell doctype. If I last inserted a map and I select a topic and the currently-select topicref type specifies format="ditamap", select either the first topicref type in the list, or more usefully, the last-used topicref-to-a-topic type. That is, if the insertion dialog can select a good default for refs to maps and topics and remember the last type used for each type of reference, it would have the effect of making the insertion dialog select the mostly-likely-to-be-right topicref type regardless of whether I'm inserting a map or topic.

New Author Insert Behavior? New Sibling of Current Element
by Eliot Kimber 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

I'm doing authoring of a definition list. To create a new dlentry it's most effective to move outside the current dlentry and then hit enter to get "new dlentry", rather just move outside the dd (where I am when I'm done in the current dlentry) and do "split dlentry", because split doesn't cause the required subelements dt and dd to be created. It occurs to me it might be useful to add a new option, "new sibling {tagname}" in addition "split {tagname}". Alternatively, have "split" behave like "new" such that it inserted required subelements in the newly-created element if the split occurs at the end of the split element (meaning that the split is identical to a "new" action).

Quicker way to insert character entities?
by Helen Borrie 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Hello, I'm using the authoring application. Is there any way to get character entities into the Author view? I expected that, by typing the special character, e.g. a double-quote, the editor would automatically replace it with the standard entity, " in this case. But it is not the case. The document is saved with just the literal character, as typed. By trial and error I found that, if I switch to the Text view, I can type "&" to display a drop-list, from which I can select an entity and it will be inserted at the caret. This is terribly slow and awkward to do. It is faster to copy and paste. I can't find any reference to character entities/special characters in either the Oxygen or the Author help. Any clues welcome. Thanks. Helen

Hello, I've searched through the forum and email archive for similar queries but have found nothing. If this has been covered previously, I apologize for the duplication. I am running Editor 10.3.

In particular the RNG external validation is an action that I repeat frequently and I'd like to avoid the step of selecting the schema each time I initiate an external validation after reopening Oxygen.

Catalog URI Resolver for XSLT Include/Import in Editor?
by Eliot Kimber 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

I'm finding myself in the situation where I want to edit style sheets that will, ultimately, use custom URIs to point to resources. For editing on the file system it would be easiest if I could use an XML catalog to map my private URIs to the files on my file system so the same reference will work as developed and as deployed. Is that possible today? I didn't see anything likely in the help or searching on URI resolver in the mailing list archives.

I'm sorry if this is something obvious, but I'm transforming into pdf using Idiom and Apache FOP, and there are no page numbers in my table of contents or where I have a cross-reference. What should I be doing differently? Thanks, Wendy Loreti Senior Technical Writer Vocollect, Inc. 703 Rodi Rd.

Dear, Will updating my exist package with Oxygen 10.3 I got this message Échec de l'opération: svn: UUID mismatch: existing directory 'trunk/eXist/extensions/xprocxq' was checked out from a different repository And then, even cleaning the package was not sufficient It did work with 10.2 (and I didn't try to make it work with 10.3 and without migrating to SVN 1.6) Cheers, Xmlizer
