How to Extended Built-in DITA Author CSSes?
by Eliot Kimber 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

I have a DITA specialization and I want to extend the built-in Oxygen-provided authoring CSS for DITA topics to add some stuff (but not modify the base formatting). What's the best way to set this up to minimize configuration/deployment headache without simply copying and modifing the built-in one?

Hi, As you probably noted we had a spam message yesterday on the list. We discovered that it was sent by someone (ab)using the email address of a the registered list user (it could have been any email address registered to the list). For the time being we have set the moderate flag on the entire list and we will monitor the list for a period of time to see if there are further attempts. Sorry for that.

Oxygen 10.1 - Frameworks DITA catalog file has higher priority than project specific catalog files
by Jan Nylund 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hello. In 10.1 it seem to be impossible to override the default catalog settings from the file {oxygenhome}/frameworks/dita/catalog.xml. I have a project specific DTD set that currently uses the default Oasis publicd (for historical reasons) but isn't 100% identical to the ones included with Oxygen. In a normal way I created a project and included my own catalog file, but Oxygen still uses the files included in the framework for validation. I verified the behaviour from the information view where full paths to files are shown during validation. If I rename the file catalog.xml in frameworks/dita to something else and restart Oxygen, my project specific catalog file works as supposed. If I remember correctly, this behavior was different in earlier versions of Oxygen, where my project specific catalog files had priority higher than Oxygen's default files. I hope this behavior can be modified so that the project settings would always allow overriding default settings. Br, Jan -- Jan Nylund Senior System Designer Citec Information Oy Ab

Syntax highlithing color codes
by Florent Georges 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hi, I am using an XML serializer written in XSLT to serialize elements in HTML, with syntax highlighting. In order to not re-invent my own color code, I would like to use the same colors as oXygen, while editing a stylesheet. Do you have those colors as CSS color codes? And would it be ok for you to share them? Regards, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/

set an XML Schema for a directory?
by Robert Koberg 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hi, I haven't used project mode much, but I just created a new project and imported a directory structure into it. One of the folders contains content files that are supposed to adhere to one XML Schema. I see the 'validate selection with...' which allows me to validate the entire directory -- which is great. However, when I bring up an invalid file I would like to have the editor know which schema to use (the one I validated the dir against) so the editor will give the element/attribute options without having to assign the schema each time. Make sense? Is this possible? best, -Rob

Question again regarding XQuery
by Thomas Zastrow 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

I'm very sorry to ask again, but I was not able to execute an XQuery file against an XML document ... I have 10.1 installed on Mc OS X. When I edit a transformation scenario, I have the options JAXP Saxon-B 9.1.0.5 Saxon-SA 9.1.0.5 Saxon6.5.5 Xalan Xsltproc As far as I understood, I should use Saxon version 9.x transformers. I use the XQuery file as "XSL URL". When I apply the scenario, I got the error: ----------------- SystemID: /Users/zastrow/Documents/ss09/xquery/second.xquery Programmname: Saxon6.5.5 Feherlevel: error Beschreibung: Failed to parse stylesheet SystemID: /Users/zastrow/Documents/ss09/xquery/second.xquery Programmname: Saxon6.5.5 Feherlevel: fatal Beschreibung: Content is not allowed in prolog.

Screen shot behavior
by Karl Stubsjoen 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

I have a screen shot of my current state of Oxygen. Can I send it to this group? This particular issue is most annoying, having to deal with Oxygen's feable attempt to restore my last session. What are my options here? In any case, the oxygen experts should have a look at this, because regardless of my preferences, I should never see a screen like this (waiting to send attachment). Karl..

Typo in link on website?
by Florent Georges 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

Hi, On the page "XSL / XSLT Debugger" on the oXygen website, at http://www.oxygenxml.com/xslt_debugger.html, the link "play the video demonstration" in the section "XSLT Profiler" results in an HTTP 300. Seems the link should be changed from *.html to *.swf. Hope that helps, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/

Sharing project file on Win XP and Mac OS X
by Florent Georges 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Hi, I am using oXygen on several platforms for now, mainly on a Mac OS X laptop and a Windows XP desktop. The project I am working on is on a Subversion repository, where I put the oXygen XPR project file. It seems oXygen behaves differently on Mac OS X and Windows XP, regarding using a relative name for files to associate them to a scenario. When I associate a scenario to a file on Mac OS X, the name of the file is recorded (in the XPR file) as relative to the project directory. When I update my project and open it on Windows, then click on the "Apply Transformation Scenario" action, oXygen does ask me for a scenario, and create a new association in the XPR file between the scenario and this file (using an absolute URI of the form file:/C:/path/to/file.xml.) I tried to use ${pdu} in front of the file name, but with no more success. This problem is quite annoying for collaboration work. Would you have a solution? Can I provide more information? Regards, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/

trying to create windows help html
by Bram Vogelaar 17 Mar '09

17 Mar '09

Dear all I am trying to create windows help files from one of our docbook files. All is well with the default settings while using the $ {frameworks}/docbook/xsl/htmlhelp/htmlhelp.xsl but the files end up in the /Applications/oxygen/ folder. (i use the mac stand alone version) When i try to change the basedir location, only the html files end up in the basedir not the .hh* files still end up in the /Applications/oxygen/ folder and the chm fails to render due to include issues. Does anyone know how to fix this? with regards Bram

DITA Maps Opens to Author Mode
by Paul Ryan 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

I think I've exhausted my search for how to open files from a DITA Map (in the DITA Maps editor) directly into the text page (text mode). I have all of my options set to text mode as my default such that if I open the individual .dita files regularly they open into text. From the DITA Map editor however open always goes to the author page (author mode) first. Any help in getting these files to open in the text page is appreciated. Thanks, --Paul

10.1 takes a step backward?
by Syd Bauman 13 Mar '09

13 Mar '09

First, if this has already been mentioned on the list or via your bug reporting system and I've missed it, my apologies. Second, let me state for the record that despite the following complaint, I am a big fan of oXygen. There is no other commercial proprietary software that I outright recommend people buy, except for Mac OS X. (And even that only for those not up to dealing with Ubuntu.) I have severe tendonitis to my wrists (bilaterally). One consequence of this is that I really try to avoid using the pointer (in my case a trackball or trackpad, as I cannot use a mouse at all), and try to type most commands. For those menu items that do not have keyboard shortcuts, I often use the operating system's "access the menu" shortcut (ctl-F2 on a Mac, alt-underlined_letter on my GNU/Linux system). I have not tried oXygen 10.1 on a GNU/Linux yet (I use oXygen there very rarely), but I use oXygen almost daily on Mac OS X 10.5 with "In windows and dialogs, press Tab to move the keyboard focus between" set to "All controls" in the Keyboard & Mouse pane of System Preferences. One action I perform reasonably frequently is Associate Schema, although it's usually via the New XML Document rather than explicitly associating a schema to an already existing XML document. Either way, in previous versions of oXygen I would perform this entirely from the keyboard. Something like: * cmd-N > new dialog * XML Document selected > defaulted from last time * enter > gets "Create an XML document" dialog * Use DTD or Schema checked > defaulted from last time * tab > moves me to set of schema language tabs * R-cursor R-cursor > selects Relax NG * tab tab > selected "browse local" folder icon [X] * space > gets open dialog box * [navigate to schema] > use normal Mac OS X keystrokes * return > syntax button automatically set from extension * return > done! But note the [X]. Here, in oXygen 10.0 (and earlier versions, but I don't know how far back), there was no visual indication that I had selected the button with the normal folder icon that means "Browse for local file" (the leftmost of the 2 or 3 folder icons for browsing local, remote, or archive), but it worked. Now, in 10.1, tabbing in this dialog box skips right over the browse icons! I've tried all sorts of key combinations (ctl-tab, opt-tab, cursor keys, cursor keys w/ modifiers, etc.), but cannot seem to select that button without using the pointer. Snif! Sob! PLEASE give me a way to create a new document with a schema associated without using the pointer! P.S. It turns out I can still create new files in oXygen without using the pointer so long as I don't associate a schema. Some time ago (9.2? 10.0? I forget), the "New" dialog box became a combined "New" and "New from template" box. As far as I could tell, there was no way to select one or the other of those tabs from the keyboard, though. However, I recently discovered that pressing ctl-tab 3 times or shift-ctl-tab once selected the tabs bar, so that either L or R cursor keys would select the other tab. Not exactly convenient, but I'm trying to teach my fingers to do that.

Open Big Files in read only with validation capabilities
by mozer 12 Mar '09

12 Mar '09

Hi, Recently I felt the need for being able to : A) Open a big Files in Oxygen B) Do some validation and see where the problem happen to be (and perhaps launch an XSLT Transformation) C) Do some indenting But I don't want to edit the file I get around 1) Open Big files : it is indeed read only, but we don't have access to validation and transformation 2) Open Tree Editor : it is indeed fast to load, but it takes ages before the validation can finish 3) Open normal editor : it takes 1,5 Gb and at least 10 minutes to stabilise for 100 Mb files I checked the performance options to drop undo information on save Is there anything else I need to know ?

RelaxNG and Schematron
by Christian Kosmowski 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Hi there! Due to some restrictions of XML Schema we are currently changing to RelaxNG. I now tried to take some Schematron rules of the old schema and put it in the new RelaxNG Schema to test if Schematron will work. This is my "root" File which includes other RelaxNG Schemas: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <grammar xmlns="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0" xmlns:a="http://relaxng.org/ns/compatibility/annotations/1.0" xmlns:sch="http://www.ascc.net/xml/schematron" datatypeLibrary="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-datatypes" ns="http://www.docscape.de/layoutV4.2"> <include href="layout_definitions.rng"/> <sch:pattern> <sch:rule context="//Regel[@datensatz and @name]"> <sch:assert test="count(//Regel[@name=current()/@name and @datensatz=current()/@datensatz]) le 1">Die Regel »<sch:value-of select="@name"/>« zu dem Datensatz »<sch:value-of select="@datensatz"/>« ist mehrfach vorhanden.</sch:assert> </sch:rule> <sch:rule context="//Regel[@datensatz and not(@name)]"> <sch:assert test="count(//Regel[@datensatz=current()/@datensatz and not(@name)]) le 1">Die Regel zum Datensatz »<sch:value-of select="@datensatz"/>« ist mehrfach vorhanden.</sch:assert> </sch:rule> <sch:rule context="//Regel[@name and not(@datensatz)]"> <sch:assert test="count(//Regel[@name=current()/@name and not(@datensatz)]) le 1">Die Regel »<sch:value-of select="@name"/>« ist mehrfach vorhanden.</sch:assert> </sch:rule> <sch:rule context="//Zuweisung"> <sch:assert test="(//DefVariable[@name=current()/@name]) or exists(Name)">Variable »<sch:value-of select="@name"/>« nicht definiert.</sch:assert> </sch:rule> </sch:pattern> <start> <choice> <element name="Layout"> <optional> <attribute name="version"> <text/> </attribute> </optional> <optional><attribute name="datensatz"><text/></attribute></optional> <zeroOrMore> <interleave> <optional><ref name="g_Deklarationen"/></optional> <optional><ref name="g_Documentation"/></optional> <optional><ref name="x_Layoutinclude"/></optional> </interleave> </zeroOrMore> </element> <ref name="x_Layoutinclude"/> </choice> </start> </grammar> The're is just no effect to the validation. The rest of the Schema works fine but the schematron rules have no effect. They seme to be ignored. Any suggestions?

String normalized in the result of XQuery?
by Florent Georges 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

Hi, When I evaluate the following XQuery: 'a&_#10;b' using a scenario configured with the MarkLogic "transformer," I get the following result: 'a b' (a file with those three characters, note this is a space instead of a linefeed.) If I use the MarkLogic CQ, I get the expected result, with a linefeed instead of a space. Sounds like a bug to me. I am not sure what other info I could provide you with.

XQuery using Oxygen to MarkLogic server
by Lee, David 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

I've tried the forum but so far am not successful. Maybe someone on this list has an idea I could try. I'm trying to run an XQuery against a marklogic server. I've setup the connection, can browse the DB with DatabaseExplorer (WebDav), I stored a trivial xquery file and tried to execute it. No matter what I do I get errors from the marklogic server. I think I need to put something magic in the "XQuery URL" field but I have no idea what. If I use ${currentFileURL} I get the error from the server: SystemID: http://DLEE@localhost:8004/xquery/dxtest1.xquery Engine name: MarkLogic Severity: error Description: Query evaluation request rejected (404, Not Found). Is this an XDBC server? So I think that MarkLogic doesnt want to use the WebDav connection for its URL to the query. I've tried explictly usin the "browse remote" path or what I think is the path http://DLEE:******@localhost:8004/xquery/dxtest1.xquery Same error I changed the path to be port 8002 which the XDBC driver runs on SystemID: http://DLEE@localhost:8004/xquery/dxtest1.xquery Engine name: MarkLogic Severity: error Description: 404 Not Found for: http://localhost:8002/xquery/dxtest1.xquery ---------------------------------------- David A.

Hi, I have MarkLogic in a virtual box for developing purposes (on Mac OS X) and tried to create a new file from within oXygen, by using the "Open URL" action.

If not, is it possible by any other means? Regards, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/

Out of memory fixed
by Mark Wilson 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

Thanks Barton (and Eliot), Worked like a charm, and without the quotes. Yes, I know that I have a lot of wasted memory, but at the time I installed, it was the cheapest way to get the 3.5 I do get to use. In the good old days, running OS-9 on a Tandy Color Computer, I had to hard-wire bank switching on a 64K memory chip for a 6009 processor that could only address 32K. Things were so simple then. Although I am highly skilled with C++, I am totally at sea with java and know absolutely nothing at all about Linux - my bad. >From the Arizona desert, Thanks Mark

Out of memory problem
by Mark Wilson 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

This is likely not the right list for this question, but please help if you can. Using Oxygen's scenario mechanism, I am able to run the built-in FOP and produce my PDF file with no problems. However, when I try to do the same thing from a BAT using my stand-alone FOP 0.95, I get an "out of java heap space memory". I Googled and found lots of information for people who know java or Linux (I know neither). I know I have to change the fop.bat file but do not understand exactly how to do that. Concerning java, the fop.bat has the lines: set JAVAOPTS=-Denv.windir=%WINDIR% if "%JAVA_HOME%" == "" goto noJavaHome if not exist "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe" goto noJavaHome if "%JAVACMD%" == "" set JAVACMD=%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java goto runFop :noJavaHome if "%JAVACMD%" == "" set JAVACMD=java :runFop rem ECHO "%JAVACMD%" "%JAVACMD%" %JAVAOPTS% %LOGCHOICE% %LOGLEVEL% -cp "%LOCALCLASSPATH%" org.apache.fop.cli.Main %FOP_CMD_LINE_ARGS% What do I add or change? I have 4 gig of memory on a Vista machine. What do I add or change so that my stand-alone FOP will have the same heap size as the Oxygen built-in FOP? Thanks for any consideration you can give me, Mark

AuthorListener.contentDeleted( ... )

05 Mar '09

When overriding contentDeleted(DocumentContentChangedEvent arg0) in a custom implementation of the AuthorListener class, how is it possible to determine exactly what content was deleted? It appears that this event fires after the content is deleted without giving the developer a chance to determine what is now missing. Any suggestions?

using catalogs
by Steven_Carmody＠brown.edu 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

I'm trying to use Oxygen to edit the set of XML-based config files that come with the Shibboleth package. The package is typically installed on linux, as a plugin into a web server such as apache. The package comes with a set of .xsd files, and an accompanying set of xml catalog files. Here's what a typical supplied catalog file looks like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog"> <system systemId="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0:assertion" uri="/opt/local/shibboleth-sp/share/xml/opensaml/cs-sstc-schema-assertion-1.1.xsd"/> <system systemId="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0:protocol" uri="/opt/local/shibboleth-sp/share/xml/opensaml/cs-sstc-schema-protocol-1.1.xsd"/> </catalog> I've tried the following steps: -- downloaded all of the xsd and catalog files to my desktop Mac -- edited the catalog files, changing the file system path in all the uri attributes - launched Oxygen, went to Preferences/XML Catalog, and added the five catalog files that come with the package. - quit Oxygen, re-launched (to have the new Preferences take effect) -- open a Shibboleth xml file, and attempt to validate it I'm presented with an error -- "There is no schema or DTD associated with the document. You can create an association either with the Associate Schema action or from the Options men Preferences/Editor/Default Schema Association." does anyone have a suggestion on a way to get validation to work, using catalog files? Rather than adding everything to the Default Schema Association?
