Annoyance in Insert Topic Reference Dialog
by Eliot Kimber 15 May '09

15 May '09

I'm creating documents that use the DITA 1.2 DTDs. For DITA 1.2 we've added a number of specializations of topicref. The effect is that when I pop up the Insert Topic Reference dialog to insert a topicref, the topicref element type defaults to "anchorref", rather than "topicref", even though I would almost never want "anchorref". Would it be possible to either default to "topicref" or, more usefully, be able to configure a per-map-type default topicref type or sequence of preferred types (given that not all topicref types will be valid in a given insertion context, e.g., within bookmap)? Even if it just remembered the last value I used that would probably be sufficient. As it is, I have to remember to set that value each time. Note that I'm primarily using the "create reference to current document" mechanism, rather than creating a bunch of references at once, as I author new topics and then add them to my map as I go along.

ID Setting Extension for DITA Authoring
by Eliot Kimber 14 May '09

14 May '09

I'm using Author to create DITA documents that have nested topics. An annoyance is that topics require the id= attribute, so having inserted a nested topic, I then have to set the ID even though I don't really care what the ID is. My questions: 1. Is there already a sample Oxygen extension that assigns IDs that I can use or adapt for this? 2. If the answer to (1) is no, where should I look for guidance on how to implement such an extension.

looking for a good XSLT IDE
by Lars Huttar 13 May '09

13 May '09

This blog post and comment thread are not mine, but I thought they would interest the Oxygen developers. Maybe you have a response to the statements made about Oxygen. http://www.nesterovsky-bros.com/weblog/CommentView,guid,ca560933-6d05-4bbc-… ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A good xslt IDE A simple demand nowdays - a good IDE. Almost a ten years have passed since xslt has appeared but still, we're not pleased with IDEs claiming xslt support. Our expectaions are not too high. There are things however, which must be present in such an IDE. 1. A notion of project, and possibly a group of projects. You may think of it as a main xslt including other xslts participationg in the project. 2. A code completion. A feature providing typing hints for language constructs, includes, prefixes, namespaces, functions, templates, modes, variables, parameters, schema elements, and other (all this should work in a context of the project). 3. A code refactoring. A means to move parts of code between (or inside) files and projects, rename things (functions, templates, parameters, variables, prefixes, namespaces, and other). 4. Code validation and run. 5. Optional debug feature. We would be grateful if someone had pointed to any such IDE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday, January 15, 2009 3:54:42 PM UTC I can recommend oXygen XML Editor. IMHO it could satisfy nearly all your requirements, except providing namespace prefixes which sometimes works and sometimes does not. Altought it's written in Java it's pretty fast and has best code completion I have seen so far. You will have to try code refactoring on your own, I do not use it much. Maybe you would want to try evaluation version of IntelliJ IDEA with plugins XPathView + XSLT-Support and XSLT-Debugger. It's primarily Java IDE but with use of mentioned plugins, writing XSLT is much easies and "enjoyable". Best advantage of IDEA are advanced refactorings (provided by both IDEA and plugins) and easiness of creating new ones. I hope you will find this comment somehow useful. Josef Josef Pavlas ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday, January 15, 2009 4:45:27 PM UTC Josef, Consider an example provided by xslt 2.0 spec: "...For example, if stylesheet B includes stylesheet A, stylesheet C includes stylesheet A, and stylesheet D includes both stylesheet B and stylesheet C, then A will be included indirectly by D twice. If all of B, C and D are used as independent stylesheets, then the error can be avoided by separating everything in B other than the inclusion of A into a separate stylesheet B' and changing B to contain just inclusions of B' and A, similarly for C, and then changing D to include A, B', C'." Unfortunately oXygen does not provide acceptable code completion and refactoring for such A', B', and C' modules, as it never looks defitions in including modules. We never tried IntelliJ IDEA, and we shall try it. Thank you for your feedback! Vladimir Nesterovsky (the rest deleted)

html validation error
by Lars Huttar 12 May '09

12 May '09

Hello, Often when I copy and paste HTML code from somewhere, and edit the resulting page in Oxygen, I get a validation error in http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd For example, when the DOCTYPE at the beginning says <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> I get the validation error: F [Xerces] The declaration for the entity "ContentType" must end with '>'. If I click on this error message, it takes me not to my html document, but to http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd, to the following declaration: <!ENTITY % ContentType "CDATA" -- media type, as per [RFC2045] --> The middle of those three lines is highlighted. I could understand if something in my own HTML were invalid; but this appears to be saying that the standard DTD provided by W3C is not well-formed. I'm not a DTD guru, but I would be very surprised if that were the case. Is this a Xalan bug, then? This is not a showstopper for me, but it does make it more complicated for me to do validation on the html I'm writing. Thanks, Lars

oXygen on XP and XInclude subdirectories in DocBook
by Karen Schneider 11 May '09

11 May '09

Hi all, I am new to oXygen and am trying to wrap my head around an XInclude question. I'm planning a proof-of-concept project for DocBook. My local environment is Windows XP and I am committing files to our Linux-based public repository via svn. where all hrefs are in the same subdirectory it's easy to see how to do this. I'm trying to clarify how to make this happen in Docbook using oXygen (and -- where this becomes an oXygen question -- get them to validate). In the xi:include statements, do I use a pattern of file:///directory/filename.xml ...? I include a snippet of work in progress, if that helps clarify my question. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <book version="5.0" xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"> ... etc. ... <xi:include href="/Intro/Introduction.xml" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" /> <xi:include href="/Installation/Installation.xml" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" /> <xi:include href="/Sysadmin/Administration.xml" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" /> -- -- | Karen G.

Possible to Configure Author to Edit Attributes In Main Page?
by Eliot Kimber 08 May '09

I've been playing around with setting up a CSS for editing XML entity catalogs. I can of course display all the attribute values but changing them requires using the attribute editor, which is a bit unnatural in this case, since all the important info is in attributes. I'm wondering if it's possible or if it could be possible to configure Author through CSS to allow editing of specific attribute values in the editing page?

Both global- and project-level scenarii

Hi, I work on several projects within oXygen, all using the project level preferences. But I have several scenarii that I use for all projects (XSLStyle, XSpec, etc.) Is there any way to add scenarii at the global level, without impacting current project, and being usable in all projects? If I select "global scenarios" in the "configure transformation scenarios" action, I get the following warning: The scenarios will be cleared from the <oXygen/> project file when you save the project.

TEI@Oxford Summer School 2009 -- now open for bookings!
by James Cummings 06 May '09

06 May '09

TEI@Oxford Summer School 2009 -- now open for bookings! The TEI@Oxford team is pleased to announce that we are now taking bookings for our annual summer school. Dates: Monday 20 July - Friday 24 July Venue: Oxford University Computing Services Full information and online booking: http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/rts/events/2009-07/ This five-day course combines in-depth coverage of the latest version of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines for the encoding of digital text with hands-on practical exercises (using oXygen) in their application. If you are a project manager, research assistant, or encoder working on any kind of project concerned with the creation or management of digital text, this course is for you. You should be generally computer literate (web, email, word-processors) for this course. You may already be broadly familiar with the idea of textual editing, perhaps (but not necessarily) with some experience of producing HTML web pages, or of traditional scholarly editing. You should be enthusiastic about the possibilities offered by digital technologies and keen to learn more. You should be prepared to get your hands dirty at the keyboard and you should not be afraid of a little technical jargon. At the end of the course we hope to have given you: 1. a good grounding in the theoretical issues underlying the use of text markup, XML in particular; 2. an understanding of the purpose and principles of the Text Encoding Initiative; 3. a survey of the full range of modules constituting the TEI's current Recommendations; 4. experience of how the TEI scheme can be customized for particular applications, and internationalized for different languages. 5. an introduction to some of the tools and methods in which TEI documents are published and processed Using OUCS' excellent teaching facilities, we will also provide you with practical experience in: * using online tools to build, verify, and document a TEI-conformant schema * using XML editing software to o create new encoded texts o standardize existing digital texts * using a variety of web-based and desktop tools to display and analyse TEI documents The course will be taught by the TEI@Oxford team: Lou Burnard, James Cummings, and Sebastian Rahtz, with the assistance of other invited TEI experts. -- Dr James Cummings, Research Technologies Service, University of Oxford James dot Cummings at oucs dot ox dot ac dot uk

How to associate file relative to project with transformation scenario
by Jirka Kosek 05 May '09

05 May '09

Hi, I want to distribute set of sample XML files and XSLT transformations. I can create project and if I create per-project transformation scenarios those scenarios are saved to project file. But I also want to maintain association between files and transformation scenarios that should be applied on them. However oXygen stores such association against absolute URL of file which doesn't work when project and all files are moved to different computer into different folder. I have tried to modify project file manually to use relative paths and variables like ${pdu}, but oXygen was not able to recognize association then. Is it possible to achieve this in oXygen 10.2?

Way to Use Input Filename to Construct Result Filename in Tranformation Scenarios?
by Eliot Kimber 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

I didn't see an obvious way to do what I want in the Tranformation Scenario dialog. What I would like to do is use the filename part of the input file for a transformation scenario to construct the result filename, e.g., a new file with the same name in a different directory or a new file that uses the input name as part of its name, etc. This is in the context of a scenario defined for an XSLT file, that is, I'm editing the transform and run the scenario from that file, associating it with different input files. It appeared that the "current filename" variable resolved to the name of the transformation file (the XSLT). Is there a way to do what I want or do I have to define the scenario from the viewpoint of the input file?

Keyboarding accented characters?
by Espen S. Ore 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

Please forgive me and point me in the right direction if this is available in a FAQ, but I have not found exactly this problem: With Oxygen 10.1 under Ubuntu 8.10 and a Norwegian Windows keyboard I have problems with characters that need the AltGr-combination. (And with some other keyboard-related setups, for instance I have a keyboard setup for Greek which works fine in all other programs than Oxygen) the top-right key on my keyboard is supposed to give accent-grave when i click this key first and then a character key for which there is an accent-grave combination. If I hold down the AltGr-key, click on this before mentioned key and then a character key for which *this* is meaningful, I get an acute accented character. But in Oxygen neither of these combinations work. On this same keyboard I am supposed to hold down AltGr and type "2" to get the "@". this also doesn't work in Oxygen, I just get the "2". It seems as if all the combination keys are non-functioning when I am typing in text in Oxygen. Are there any settings where I can turn on ordinary keyboard behaviour? Best regards, Espen S. Ore
