Using cref, oxygen, and transforms
by Steve Matlock 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

I have two files, one with a topic and one with definitions: * TOPIC* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Topic//EN" "Topic.dtd"> <topic id="CREF_TOPIC"> <title>Topic with crossref</title> <body> The best thing since sliced bread is <ph conref="cfs.dita#cfs/mpm"/>. </body> </topic> *DEFINITIONS* <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Composite//EN" "Topic.dtd"> <topic id="cfs"> <title>Cross References</title> <body> <ph id="mpm">My Payment Method</ph> <ph id="stx">SuperTransactions</ph> </body> </topic> If I set this up & view in Oxygen 10.2, the first tile (TOPIC) displays the cref values just fine. When I run any of the default transforms in Oxygen (to PDF, HTML, etc.), the cref value is blank. I'm not getting an error in the transform - says it transformed fine. But cref isn't working. Clues on how to debug this? The cref is a major component of my documentation plans - I want to have pre-defined values that I can use in documentation so I don't need to update product names, release dates, and so on, inside the final documents.

parameters, catalogs, docbook, etc
by Robert Nagle 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hi, I'm a relative xml newbie, and I'm trying to use docbook to generate .epub archives (docbook 1.7.4 has a xsl transform for that). I find I am lost in a lot of things having to do with the basic environment/customization. When you configure a transformation, you can edit the parameters by clicking parameters. I understand what is going on here. But I can't understand where the customizations you are making to parameters are written down. Suppose I bring my docbook files to a new computer without Oxygen and I must use the same customizations.Where does Oxygen store these values--in a text file somewhere? When you configure a custom transformation, where is the configuration information stored after you are done? Is there a path for project customizations as opposed to global customizations? Speaking of good transforms, it would be nice to setup a transform to epub format for docbook files (especially since the xsl file is basically done). Thanks. rj -- Robert Nagle 12777 Ashford Point Dr #1417 Houston, Texas 77082 713 893 3424 htpt://www.robertnagle.info

Embedding transform history in oXygen output
by Karen Schneider 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

Hi all, thanks again for all the help several weeks ago. Demo'ing oXygen in a project-wide DocBook documentation planning session was very useful. I am wondering if there is a way to automatically embed information about transformation history into HTML generated by oXygen. I'm thinking about chapters and articles, etc. produced by a distributed volunteer force where an editor upstream may have questions about the XSL stylesheet version, the date the file was produced, etc. I am thinking this metadata would probably work best as hidden comments. We can (and probably should) use our forthcoming style manual to require inserting this information regardless of the method of production, and enforce usage through the usual methods (bribes, pleading, public floggings, etc.); not everyone will be using oXygen, and some may be using batch files that effectively serve the same purpose. But I can see where downstream it would be useful to generate as much of this automatically as possible. -- -- | Karen G. Schneider | Community Librarian | Equinox Software Inc.

Not Seeing Any Transform Scenarios for DITA Maps in Oxygen 10
by Eliot Kimber 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

A colleague upgraded from 9 to 10.0 and then from 10.0 the 10.2. In both 10.0 and 10.2 he does not get any transformation scenarios for DITA maps in the map manager. I couldn't see any obvious reason for this--I went through the install with him and made sure all the DITA-related settings and setup were correct as far as I could tell. What would cause this behavior?

docbook variable substitution
by Andrew Harrison 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

Hi, Apologies if this is slightly off topic. I have a docbook question. Is there a way to define a variable in docbook and reference it in the text? In latex I would do: "\newcommand{\book}{Gone With the Wind}" then in the text: "I recently read \book." which would render as "I recently read Gone With the Wind." I can't seem to find out if this is possible. Thanks in advance. Andrew

Re: [oXygen-user] rewrite statements in catalog
by Radu Coravu 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

Hi José, We'll try to make an improvement so that the Author page tries to resolve through the catalog the unparsed entity location so you will be able to map the locations using <rewriteSystem> or <system> and still get the images displayed in the Author. The fix should be available in Oxygen 10.3 (couple of weeks). In the last email I was mostly referring to the XML document post-processing (publishing to HTML, PDF, etc). How do you plan to do that if from what we tested none of the XSLT processors map the unparsed entities through the catalog?

Why Does Does Oxygen Think There is No Schema for This Document?
by Eliot Kimber 04 Jun '09

04 Jun '09

Via Webdav to an instance of an RSuiteCMS database I have edited a document that looks like this: <Chapter xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://localhost:8080/rsuite/schemas/6d00bb0 04fcee1765c68a4bb7dafa548.xsd"> Where the URL of the XSD schema can be resolved by Oxygen (that is, I can do ctrl+enter and the schema document opens). However, Oxygen says there is no DTD or schema associated with the document and won't validate it. In the past I've had this problem when my catalogs were not configured correctly, but here there is an explicit and resolvable URL. Is my problem a configuration problem and if so, what would the configuration issue be?

Toolkit Plugin-Contributed Author CSS Style Sheets
by Eliot Kimber 28 May '09

28 May '09

I may have asked this before I don't remember doing so: What would it take to enable Open Toolkit plugins to *automatically* contribute Author CSS style sheets? I have developed a basic use pattern where I deploy Toolkit plugins for my specializations to the Toolkit installed under Oxygen. This makes all the DTDs for my specializations immediately available to Oxygen, which is about as convenient as it's possible for the system to be, given that all the default DITA stuff just works. But I would also like to be able to contribute Author-mode CSS style sheets using the same plugins so that I don't have to manage two different deployment and packaging actions. It would be nice, for example, to be able to distribute a Zip with Toolkit plugins that when others install them under Oxygen, all the Oxygen-specific stuff just works, at least CSS style sheets.

Preserving whitespaces for PRE-like elements
by Florent Georges 26 May '09

26 May '09

Hi, I am writing a document using the XML Spec format. The element 'eg' in this format is a bit like HTML's pre element: it contains formatted text, within which whitespaces are significant. When I use the 'Format and Indent' action, oXygen indent the whole doc, including those elements (so destroying in part the semantics of their content.) Is there any way to tell oXygen to not indent some specific elements? I use oXygen 10.2. Regards, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/

10.2: Archive Browser Doesn't Track Its Current Dir

If I have a package open and go to open a new one, the file selection dialog reflects the location of the currently open file in the main editing window, not the location of the archive. I think it should reflect the location of the archive. Also, if I do "refresh" and have updated the archive file under the covers, should Oxygen be re-loading the archive?

Applying CSS to basic DocBook transform
by Karen Schneider 18 May '09

This again falls into the category of "I can do this in xsltproc," and I've reviewed the online documentation as well. I'm trying to be clear about the process so I can figure out why I can either produce unstyled HTML or get the error "could not find a stylesheet in the "xml-stylesheet" declaration" but cannot seem to produce a styled web page. I've been basing my efforts on http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-author/common-transformations.html . * I have an XML file. For simplicity in this test I'm processing it with docbook.xsl . * I have a CSS file. it appears to be valid. * I set up a transformation with docbook.xsl from the XHTML directory (I've also tried HTML), uncheck FO processing, select the CSS file as my XSL file (which requires toggling to view/all files while browsing). Now, because I've called the CSS in the transformation, do I or do I not place it directly in the XML file? Also, should I check off "use xml-stylesheet declaration" in the transformation? -- -- | Karen G. Schneider | Community Librarian | Equinox Software Inc.
