Dear Wendy, Are you using the DITA Open Toolkit files which came with the Oxygen installation or did you overwrite the toolkit with a newer version? The build.xml file located in: "C:\eclipsehelpdev\eclipse\dropins\com.oxygenxml.author_9.3.0\plugins\com.oxygenxml.author_9.3.0\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\demo\fo\build.xml" does not seem to contain the changes we introduced in order to make switching between FOP and XEP seamless. Can you send me your version of the file?

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.

Link one ditamap to another?

I'm currently working on two products. Product A will become a component in Product B. I created a project for Product A with its own ditamap and so on. For Product B, I created a reference to the project for Product A (I'm using the Eclipse plugin version of oxygen) and linked from Product B's ditamap to Product A's ditamap. While oxygen appears to let me do this, it's not generating the topics for Product A's project. Wendy Loreti Senior Technical Writer Vocollect, Inc. 703 Rodi Rd.

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

Creating a custom menu
by Michael Rush 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

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. I would like to create a custom menu with several actions, including an external validation against a specific RNG schema and several transformation scenarios. 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. Many thanks, Mike

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.

Is it possible, when doing a DITA OT transform, to specify ant parameters?
by Steven Anderson 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

I like to use ant's XmlLogger as a logger for my ant builds. I think that's the last piece keeping me from really utilizing the DITA OT transforms from within oXygen, now that I can specify my own ant home. I still don't see any way to specify ant parameters as part of the scenario, though, only JVM args. What I'd like to see is a text box, just like the one for JVM args, for ant params, so I could add "-logger org.apache.tools.ant.XmlLogger -logfile buildlog.xml" to my ant command. Is there a way to do that already and I'm missing it? Steve ps - I don't post often, but I use oXygen every day. It is, really, one of the best tools I have ever used. The rate that you add new features and functionality is astounding, and, often, it seems like you are reading my mind. When I run into a problem and I think, "I wish oXygen could do this ...." it often already does, or the feature gets added in the next point release. If y'all have a blog where I can donate to a "Buy the developers a beer" tip jar, send it on to me, I owe you.

docbook 5 + entities + doctype +xincludes?
by Robert Nagle 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

First, thank you very much for your helpful reply over the last few days. It has really helped me. I'm trying to figure out how to insert character entities in docbook 5. Reading the docbook 5 documentation , I learned that you still need to indicate a doctype to validate: http://www.docbook.org/docs/howto/#faq-authoring-general-entities After I added the example entity set, <!DOCTYPE article [ <!ENTITY % isopub SYSTEM "http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/iso8879/isopub.ent"> %isopub; ]> things worked a-ok in oxygen. Here's my question. My oxygen editor validated successfully only if I have a doctype declaration at the top of every xml document referenced by the xincludes in addition to the main document. That doesn't make sense. That means I need to have 10 (or 100 or 200) instances of boilerplate code at the top of the doc. If I put the doctype element only once in the main index file (the file with the references to the xincludes), shouldn't the validator be aware of the entity file after it was declared at the top of the main index file? Or is this something quirky about the validation engine which is requiring each file to have a doctype element? Finally, I'm not sure I understand the syntax of the doctype element. (need to do some research). This reference goes to a public document, not to something local which I can maintain. If I added this to the catalog under the framework/docbook5 directory, <system systemId="http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/iso8879/isopub.ent" uri="isopub.ent"/> would this be sufficient? This would mainly be a concern if I wanted to add to my list of entities over time (or reference different entity sets). How would this be done?

xml:id + docbook5 validation problems
by Robert Nagle 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

I've noticed some inconsistencies in the way Oxygen validates a chapter element in an xinclude file when you add xml:id= I have . I'm trying to add xml:id to chapters so I can change the output html with the use.id.as.filename parameter. I'm using xincludes with each separate xinclude file containing a chapter. I'm getting a weird error message when validating in Oxygen. SystemID: I:\My Documents\xml\rj3\er1.xml Engine name: oNVDL Severity: error Description: bad value for attribute "id" from namespace "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" Start location: 2:80 ******************************* here is what I have in the er1.xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <chapter xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0" xml:id="99er1"> <title xml:id="firstdd">Notion #1</title> <para xml:id="blah">ddddd</para> <para>Designed by Gustave Eiffel in 1889,<parameter ></parameter> The Eiffel Tower is one of the most widely recognized buildings in the world. </para> </chapter> Ok, now for the freaky part. If I remove xml:id attribute, rename the chapter element to sect1 and insert xml:id again, it validates just fine. I've tried it several times and can duplicate it each time on my machine. I've tried the Reset Cache and Validate option each time. Any idea if this is an Oxygen/validator bug or if there is something peculiar to xinclude syntax which I am overlooking? Any reason why this corrects the problem? By the way, sometimes it can be difficult to tell whether a problem is an application-specific problem or a docbook/xsl problem. Thanks.

importing a custom docbook epub stylesheet
by Robert Nagle 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Hi, I noticed there is a good web demo of how to customize a docbook stylesheet. http://www.oxygenxml.com/demo/DocbookCustomization/docbookCustomization.html Basically you create a customization layer which imports the standard docbook stylesheet. Then you edit that customization layer. I noticed something strange. Oxygen validates the imported stylesheet when XSLT version is 1.0, but if you change it to 2.0, I get 19 errors. ********************** this is fine <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/docbook.xsl"/> </xsl:stylesheet> ****************** this produces saxon errors <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" exclude-result-prefixes="xs" version="2.0"> <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/docbook.xsl"/> </xsl:stylesheet> *********************************** here's a screenshot of the error messages http://www.flickr.com/photos/rjnagle/3664940578/ What it looks like is going on is that Oxygen is recognizing that the XSL being imported is from docbook and therefore it uses a local copy of the file. And it's seeing a mismatch between the latest version online with the local xsl it is references. So I changed it to this and got a smaller number of errors: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" exclude-result-prefixes="xs" version="2.0"> <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/1.75.1/epub/docbook.xsl"/> </xsl:stylesheet> -- SystemID: I:\My Documents\xml\rj2\test99ertest\2rjcustom.xsl Engine name: Saxon-B 9.1.0.6 Severity: error Description: Failed to compile stylesheet. 1 error detected.

I assume that xslt v2 is better because it's a bigger number (and I've glanced over the differences in syntax, etc). Can you think of a reason why something would fail when version 2 is specified which would not be the case if version 1 is specified? Is best practice just to play it safe and go with version 1, or should I generally use 2 unless otherwise specified? 2. I'm guessing that it's easier to debug a local copy of a xsl file than a remote one (in this case version 1.7.5.1 of the epub-xsl transform. which is different from the local version (which is 1.7.4 that came with 10.2). Is there a way that Oxygen knows to associate the URL in the xsl import command with a local file or files on my Windows machine? I don't know how to do this. 3. (Now for my really naive question). What's the best way to debug XSLT messages. Should I start at the source xsl of the file(s) being imported here. Or should I be looking up references in Saxon parser or using some Oxygen debugging view. I realize that the answer is probably "it depends", but where does one start first? Thanks.

In Windows vista 64 , when I right click an xml/xsl file, a new and separate instance of Oxygen will open up. Is there any easy way to instruct Oxygen to open the file in the previously opened Oyxgen instance rather than to open up a new instance each time? -- Robert Nagle 12777 Ashford Point Dr #1417 Houston, Texas 77082 713 893 3424 htpt://www.robertnagle.info

Problem with Idiom FO transform
by Loreti, Wendy 26 Jun '09

26 Jun '09

Hello, I'm new here. I have a question: When I use the DITA OT transformation, the pdf is successfully created, but when I try to use the Idiom FO transformation, it chugs along, then stops and hangs with this in the log: 1071 ERROR [ main ] org.apache.fop.datatypes.LengthBase - getBaseLength called without context Does anyone know what that's about? Also, will this Idiom transformation create an index? The DITA one won't. Wendy Loreti Senior Technical Writer Vocollect, Inc. 703 Rodi Rd.

xsl:result-document and Saxon-SA gives "Cannot write to a URI that has already been read"
by Andrew Welch 25 Jun '09

25 Jun '09

Hi, Using oXygen 10.2, this stylesheet runs as expected with Saxon B 9.1.0.6 (the output is <foo/>) <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" exclude-result-prefixes="xs" version="2.0"> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:result-document> <foo/> </xsl:result-document> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> However if you change the transform engine to Saxon SA, it fails with: "Cannot write to a URI that has already been read: ....." cheers -- Andrew Welch http://andrewjwelch.com Kernow: http://kernowforsaxon.sf.net/

CSS to Indicate Element References a Graphic?
by Eliot Kimber 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

For using CSS in Author mode for arbitrary doctypes (in my case, an XSD schema), is there a way to indicate via CSS that a given element is a reference to a graphic? I didn't see anything in the Oxygen help under CSS.

Re: [oXygen-user] parameters, catalogs, docbook, etc
by Robert Nagle 16 Jun '09

First, Sorin, Good to hear that you are considering an epub transformation for a future release. I'll be sure to make an announcement at www.teleread.org when that happens. There is a dearth of good tools to produce .epub files from source. So here is my understanding based on what you said: When the files are in a project, the xpr project file is an xml file containing the customizations specific to your project. That includes names of files, and the specifics of any customized transformation which you have added for the specific project. So you could find your customizations here. so docbook5.framework stores all the scenarios which will show up for the docbook5 global scenarios list? My main concerns here are 1)being able to find the xslt customizations after I make them (in the event that i need to run them via command line or use another application), 2)being able to use the same xslt customizations for a second project if I create another docbook project and 3))not accidentally deleting or altering the default transforms. I guess the general solution is to use projects as much as possible. I'm looking here http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/preferences-sharing.html I'm not quite sure what you are doing when you go to Configure Transformation Scenario and switch from GLOBAL SCENARIOS to PROJECT SCENARIOS and vice versa. Regardless of whether I select GLOBAL or PROJECT, they both show the same scenarios (the read-only scenarios indicated by a key icon and a customized scenario I have created myself). Is this normal? (My guess: I originally created them with GLOBAL SCENARIOS checked, and so that means they appear in the PROJECT SCENARIOS tab as well. But the rev). If I try to delete a custom scenario from either Project Scenarios or Global Scenarios and press ok, I see that the scenario i have tried to delete has not been deleted. What do I need to do to accomplish this? Reading through the archives, I see that you are trying to rework the UI for the transformations dialog. That would probably be a good thing. The thing that confuses me is why the same scenarios appear when you have PROJECT SCENARIOS checked as when would have GLOBAL SCENARIOS.
