Mac: oXygen 9.2 + Java SE6 = key up/down problems
by Jan Nylund 26 Sep '08

26 Sep '08

Hello. I'm running oXygen 9.2 on Mac OS X Leopard and recently updated to use Java SE 6 to get spaces working properly. However, I got another strange error that appears to be related to oXygen (but it might still be java.. can't tell). If I run oXygen with Java 6, the up and down keys will not move the cursor, but instead move the scrollbar. The arrows left / right works as supposed, and selecting text with shift + up/down also works as normal. I do not get this behavior in other Java applications so I suspect it to be oXygen related. The same behaviour has been reproduced on three different machines all running the latest version of OS X / oXygen. Br, Jan -- Jan Nylund System Designer Citec Information Oy Ab

adding several tags around a highlighted item
by Christian Wittern 13 Sep '08

13 Sep '08

Hi there, I was wondering, how other oXygen users are solving the following problem: While adding notes to a text, I would like to mark the word(s) that are to serve as anchors for the note and then the note itself, using something like <choice> <seg>Word</seg> <note>The word Word here has a special meaning... </note> </choice> Ideally, I would just highlight the 'Word', press some magic key that adds the <choice> and <seg> around 'Word' and then an empty <note> element after words and leaves the cursor within this new <note> element so that I can write the note. Is this possible in oXygen 9.3? If not, I would like to suggest to add something like this for future products, maybe as an extension of the template system? Any help appreciated, Christian -- Christian Wittern Institute for Research in Humanities, Kyoto University 47 Higashiogura-cho, Kitashirakawa, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-8265, JAPAN

Syncro SVN Suggestion: Show/Hide Unversioned Items
by infotexture 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

Hi, How about adding an option to the Working Copy View to toggle the display of unversioned items, much like those that already exist for Ignored and Deleted items? I realize that unversioned files can be excluded by setting svn:ignore properties, but for projects with lots of individual types in different locations, it can be tedious to set up ignores for each of the various file(type)s & subfolders. This would make it much easier to focus on files under version control. Roger P.S. Will Syncro SVN 4.0 be included in oXygen 9.4, or when can we expect it?

Bidi limit

To save memory, Oxygen disables the bidirectional functionality whenever a document reaches a certain size. Is it possible to manually turn it on, or to increase the upper limit? That would make me very happy! Thanks, François Charette

Unable to print an element's value
by Bradley, Peter 10 Sep '08

10 Sep '08

Hi, I've encountered some behaviour that I can't understand in a transformation that I'm currently engaged on. The transformations are all pretty simple and follow the same pattern, but with just a few of them I'm getting odd results where the element text is not being output. For example, in one case I have the following xsl: ... ...  <xsl:for-each select="Instance"> <Instance> <NUMHUS> <xsl:value-of select="NUMHUS/text()"/> </NUMHUS> <REDUCEDI> <xsl:attribute name="codeListAgencyName"> <xsl:text>HESA</xsl:text> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="codeListName"> <xsl:text>REDUCEDI</xsl:text> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="languageID"> <xsl:text>en</xsl:text> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:value-of select="REDUCEDI/text()"/> </REDUCEDI> <COURSEID> <xsl:value-of select="COURSEID/text()"/> </COURSEID> ... The source document has the following: <Instance> <NUMHUS>000001075369710892 </NUMHUS> <personal_id>02002538</personal_id> <REDUCEDI>00</REDUCEDI> ... <COURSEID>62105201 </COURSEID> ... (Note that <personal_id> is not transferred to the output document) The destination document gives: <Instance> <NUMHUS>000001070027710892 </NUMHUS> <REDUCEDI codeListAgencyName="HESA" codeListName="REDUCEDI" languageID="en"/> <COURSEID>53705101 </COURSEID> ... My problem is the <REDUCEDI> element. I don't understand why it hasn't taken the text '00' into the destination document as I was expecting. I've got what I take to be the same problem elsewhere, so I'm hoping that solving it here will give the solution elsewhere as well. Thanks in advance Peter

Xpath and Saxon return tabs as text

In fact, my DTD does not allow #PCDATA inside <TEI>, but the document is validated without any problems. To me this seems kind of schizophrenic, or am I mistaken? Btw: the same file in XMLSpy with its build-in xslt engine as well as MS XML parser with the same xPath expression does not return the tabs as text-nodes. Any ideas?

CSS editor could persist parameter drop-down
by Hedley Finger 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

The CSS editor when you type the : (colon) at the end of a property name currently drops down a list of possible keywords or parameters. If you like neat code like me, as soon as you insert a space after the colon, the drop-down disappears. I hate cramped code, like ... .aClass { display:inline } ... and prefer it like this: .aClass { display: inline } Could the drop-down persist until either (a) you select an option from the list, (b) start typing a non-whitespace character, e.g. beginning a value, or (c) until you type the ; (semi-colon) or } (right brace) that ends the line?

CSS editor frustrating, needs improvements
by Hedley Finger 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

I am incorporating copyright class definitions for CSS-only cascading menus. It would be nice to set it off the copyrighted block with extra empty lines above and below, but <oXygen/> reduces all separator lines between CLASSES to one line, and all COMMENTS are abutted with NO empty lines between them. The other editors have a Preference to "[ ] Preserve empty lines", but not the CSS editor. It would also be nice to select a block of text and wrap it in comment opening /* and closing */ in one operation. And a fancy shortcut to select an entire class block by inserting cursor in selector/class name and using a key shortcut would be good. Some attributes/properties can take either a numeric unit of measure or a text token, such as "auto". It would be nice if the autocompletion drop-down showed placeholders (perhaps italicized) for allowable units which, when selected, would insert the unit of measure preceded by the cursor ready to type in the value. This would considerably improve the function of the autocompleter as a learning tool for the inexperience like me and perhaps save the odd keystroke, invalid input, etc. For example, ---------------- width: | 99px << this one selected | 99pt | 99pc | 99em | 99mm | 99cm | 99in | auto | inherit etc. which completes the property thus: width: |px; // where | represents the cursor Regards, Hedley -- Hedley Finger 28 Regent Street Camberwell VIC 3124 Australia Tel. +61 3 9809 1229 Fax.

soft link to the java app stub to easily open a file
by Robert Koberg 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Hi, I am looking for a simple way to open a file in a running oxygen app. have found that I can open a file in a running instance of oxygen like so: $ /Applications/oxygen/Oxygen.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub / path/to/file.xml I tried to create a soft link the JavaApplicationStub in my home dir, but the system does not recognize it as a file. Is there some way I can alias the longish path so I can do something like (while in my home dir): $ oxy /path/to/file.xml Is there a better/easier way? thanks for any tips, -Rob

XSL-FO Docbook Transformation failing
by Mark Wilson 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

In an attempt to render PDF via FO, I am reading the Oxygen Users Manual (pages 314-333) and am trying the Docbook PDF transformation described on pages 326-327. However, this transformation fails with an Error Msg 1 which appears to be a FOP command line usage error. Since I cannot see the actual call to FOP from Ozygen, I have no idea how to fix this. I should also add that my FO and XSLT files run when I invoke FOP from the command line. Mark

DITA Feature Request -- Insert href to files
by Seraphim Larsen 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

It would be nice to have a better method for inserting the hrefs for <xref>, <link>, <conref>, and <image>. As far as I can tell, the current feature set allows you to insert these elements, but then you need to hand-code the href. Would be nice to have a dialog box that allows you to select the target file -- for example, something like the way you can currently insert conrefs. Even nicer, it would be great to be able to drag-and-drop from the Project pane. For example, drag a topic file, and drop into an open DITA file (in Text or Author view), and an xref is inserted. Ctrl-drag, and a Related Link is inserted. Drag a graphic, and an <image> element is inserted, with the href already correctly defined. To get an xref to a particular element, it would be nice to have a feature something like this: - Select the target element - Select menu item "Create xref to target element", which results in the following: - If the selected element has no id attribute, an id attribute is created, or a dialog box opens, telling the user to specify the id attribute - The clipboard is then populated with the <xref> element with the href already correctly defined. - An optional dialog box could appear, telling the user that the xref has been formed and is on the clipboard - You then go to the place where you want to put the xref, and just paste it in. - Oxygen should adjust the syntax of the href, depending on where the user pastes it in. This would not just be a simple copy-paste, but would require some additional intelligence from Oxygen: - If the xref is pointing to content in the same file, the following syntax is used (as per the DITA Language Spec<http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.1/OS/langspec/langref/xref.html#xref__at…> ): href="#topicID" href="#topicID/elemID - If the xref target is in a different file: href="filename.dita#topicID" href="fname.dita#topicID/elemID" It would be nice to have similar copy/paste functionality for conrefs. Much easier than navigating through a dialog box.

While I haven't done this (and don't know how it can be done) I have successfully post-processed oXygen log files using XSLT 2.0. This isn't beginner-level code, but it is capable of making your logs into pretty much whatever you like. I think I remember suggesting that oXygen export its reports in an XML format, which could then be post-processed much more easily, but if so that feature request is still in the pipeline.

I have mainly been using <oXygen/> for DITA work but have recently started developing some web pages. It is surprising that you can only specify one browser for previewing x/html files.

entering unicode characters
by Philipp Steinkrüger 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Hello, trying to find out whether Oxygen is capable of inserting unicode characters the same way Word does (i.e. giving the character code directly, without using any visual character map or something...) I found a reply from Sorin to the same question asked by someone in September 2006. Sorin then said: You cannot enter the code of the character, for example \uB031 because that is not supported in the current version of <oXygen/> but it is planned for a future version. Two years later, the manual of the current version still shows no sign of this functionality being added, but maybe it has been added silently (because it's really a shame that the only way to enter unicode characters is the character map and code-templates), which I hope. Maybe someone can give me more information on this?

feature request: copy file path
by Lars Huttar 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hello, I have a feature request: When I'm editing a file in Oxygen, often I need to go find that file in another application (such as Windows Explorer, or WinMerge, etc.). If the file has a long path, it takes a while to re-find it. Right now, the file's full path shows up in the Oxygen title bar, and in the tooltip for the editor buffer tab, but there is no apparent way to copy it to the clipboard. It would be very convenient to have a "Copy Path" or "Copy File Path" command on the right-click menu of the editor buffer tab, the red-circled area in the screenshot below. That way, the user does not have to re-navigate to a deeply-buried file. editor buffer tab Thanks, Lars

Intelligent editor support for DITA specialisations
by Hedley Finger 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

One of the advantages of DITA that was loudly proclaimed is that specialised topic files from one creator can be sent to another user and inserted into a document /without the specialised DTD being made available to that user/. The DITA OT will then produce some sort of readable (if badly formatted) output based on the parent element identified in the @class attribute. But it appears that none of the DITA-out-of-the-box editors which I have support specialisation in the absence of the specialisation DTD but barf in various interesting ways. Serna alone appears to make some attempt to support specialised elements. I have made a tiny tweak to <fig> to specialise it with a <credit> element based on <p>, and an <anchor> element based on <p>. This are subclassed in the approved manner, e.g. class=" topic/p topic/credit". It seems to me that a DITA editor on opening an unknown specialisation should be able to look at the inheritance tree in @class and temporarily rename the element to the nearest known ancestor. And, on save, it should write out the XML with the original element name restored from the leaf value in @class. As DITA is not a true object model and subclasses are merely renaming of ancestor elements for better semantic cueing, this does not appear to be a very difficult problem to solve. Anything would be better than the endless bleatings of Xalan error messages! I am basing my remarks on experience with Syntext Serna, <oXygen/>, XMLmind XML Editor (XXE), and FrameMaker v 8 with DITA-FMx 1.0. Perhaps XMetaL, Arbortext Author, and other editors already support this kind of compatibility.

Re: Failed to read schema document

Hi, Sorin: We use eXist 1.2.3. I set up the config.xml validation=yes. I also copied our schema files into this folder: \eXist\webapp\WEB-INF\entities Then I add the name and uri in the catalog.xml: ( I just added the three lines of our own schemas in the <uri name= > in the default catalog.xml.) Catalog.xml  <catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog"> <uri name="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" uri="entities/xml.xsd"/> <uri name="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" uri="entities/XMLSchema.xsd"/> <uri name="http://localhost:8080/exist/db/Test/common/schemas/work" uri="entities/works.xsd"/> <uri name="http://localhost:8080/exist/db/Test/common/schemas/about" uri="entities/about.xsd"/> <uri name="http://localhost:8080/exist/db/Test/common/schemas/common" uri="entities/common.xsd"/> <uri name="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog" uri="entities/catalog.xsd" /> </catalog> This is how I define in our xml record: <work xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://localhost:8080/exist/db/Test/common/schemas/work"> </work> But the setting doesn't seem work because the records are not validated by the schema at all. For example, if we delete a required field, the record is still validated. But if I tried to save a record, the error message appears. I don't know whether it's caused by eXist setting or by Oxygen, or the connection between them. Any suggestion is welcome! Thanks.

In your case if there is a works.xsd file on the hard disk and the root element of the works.xsd file is xsd:schema the location is not specified correctly in the XML document. Does works.xsd exist in the directory specified in the XML document that you try to add to eXist? /export/home/library/eXist/webapp/WEB-INF/entities/works.xsd If it exists what is the version of your eXist server?

Hi, I'm trying to set up eXist to validate records with schema. But I keep getting error message when I tried to save a record in eXist. Cannot save the file. org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: schema_reference.4: Failed to read schema document 'file:/export/home/library/eXist/webapp//WEB-INF/entities/works.xsd', because 1) could not find the document; 2) the document could not be read; 3) the root element of the document is not <xsd:schema>. Does anyone know what might cause this error message? The schema's root is <xsd:schema> I am sure about that. Thanks. Jenny
