OS X: Can not paste text as filename into save dialog.
by Jan Nylund 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Hello! We just noticed that in both oxygen 9.2 and 9.3 it's not possible to paste text as the filename into a save dialog. Pasted text will instead appear in the document where you had the cursor placed before opening the save dialog. This may appear in other versions as well, we only tested what we had available.

Add to Project
by Shannon Scott Shiflett 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

Hi, It would be most handy if I could drag a document tab and drop it in the Project pane to add it to the project. I know I can right-click and choose "Add to project" but the drag & drop choice just feels right.

request: code templates for XSLT 2.0
by Lars Huttar 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

Hello, I use the code templates feature a lot when creating XSLT stylesheets. But now as I move more into XSLT 2.0, I notice the absence of code templates for the new elements. E.g. fegs: <xsl:for-each-group select="${caret}"> </xsl:for-each-group> rdh: <xsl:result-document href="${caret}"> </xsl:result-document> cg: current-group() and others. Any plans to add these? I will add some of my own for now, but I would welcome a full set that came with Oxygen. (I'm running Oxygen 9.3 standalone on Windows.) Regards, Lars

Problem validating XQuery documents
by John Kelly 22 Jul '08

22 Jul '08

Hello, I'm modifying an XQuery document under 9.3 and am not getting validation as I type. I tried manually running validation and got an error that says "The transformer Saxon9B XQuery is not available anymore. Please reconfigure the transformation scenario." I created a custom validation scenario with the "<default engine>" and go the same error. When I changed that validation scenario to specifically use "Saxon-B XQuery 9.0.0.6", it worked. Seems like there may be a bug in the default setup. . John

Feature Request -- Run spell check entire DITA Map

Hello, I'd like to submit a feature request. Currently, it appears you can run Spell Checker on only one file at a time. It would be nice to be able to run Spell Checker on multiple files in one operation: - Run Spell Checker on all files found inside a DITA Map - Run Spell Checker on all files in a Project Thanks very much!

collation failure
by Mark Wilson 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

I have read in the archive that to add my own collator to Oxygen, I must drop the jar file in the oxygen lib folder. I have done this, and still get the same error message: F [Saxon-B 9.0.0.6] Collation http://saxon.sf.net/collation?class=CzechCollation has not been defined. The line from my XSLT file is: <xsl:sort select="Author" collation="http://saxon.sf.net/collation?class=CzechCollation"/> The jar tf command tell me the jar file contains the following manifest (I know very little about java): META-INF META-INF/MANIFEST.MF CzechCollation.class However, when I click on the jar , I get the error message: "failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from ..." I assume this happens because the jar does not contain an application. Anyway, The CzechCollation.java file follows (Substantially shortened). Thanks, Mark import java.text.ParseException; import java.text.RuleBasedCollator; public class CzechCollation extends RuleBasedCollator { public CzechCollation() throws ParseException { super(traditionalCzechRules); } private static String upperAcuteA = new String("\u00c1"); private static String lowerAcuteA = new String("\u00e1"); private static String upperUmlatA = new String("\u00c4"); Many letter definations removed to keep email short private static String upperHacekZ = new String("\u017d"); private static String lowerHacekZ = new String("\u017e"); private static String traditionalCzechRules = ("< A,a," + upperAcuteA + "," + lowerAcuteA + "," + upperUmlatA + "," + lowerUmlatA + Many parts of the string removed to keep email short "< Z,z <" + upperHacekZ + "," + lowerHacekZ);

Feature request: MathML support for equations
by Gabrielle Burns 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

Does oXygen have plans to incorporate support for MathML in the near future? We are currently using Oxygen 9.2 to create CHM (HTML Help) and PDF output from the same files, based on DITA. Our source files (XML) currently include over 200 equations. We create the equation files in MathType using its MathML 2.0 translator setting, and save the equation files to GIF. This approach renders a less than aesthetic equation output, either in the CHM or PDF output. We have to apply a scaling attribute to the equation image in the XML file to reduce the large equation sizes in PDF. If oXygen users have suggestions for rendering equations in CHM and PDF using DITA, these would be welcome. Thank you.

xQueries in eXist
by Jing, Jenny 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Hi, I tried to run xQueries in Oxygen, but in the Configure Transformation Scenario- Edit Scenario, I can't find the exist connection in the Transformer selection box. Does anyone know how to set it up? Or this is not available for The current Oxygen and eXist releases? Our catalogers create XML records, and need to search the Records by keyword or ID in exist. I created several Canned xQueries for them to run. My second question is, is it possible to create a Search button in Oxygen, which could embed our canned xQueries in it, so that Our catalogers can use it to search records in eXist? Thanks. Jenny

WSDL documentation missing imported files
by Andrew Clegg 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Afternoon all, I've just started using Oxygen to help with top-down document/literal web service development. I'm particularly interested in automatic generation of docs from WSDLs and XSDs. The WSDL I'm working on lives in a file called Services.wsdl, which contains no schema definitions itself. It imports a file called MessageTypes.xsd which defines the high-level types corresponding to the elements which are immediate children of the wsdl:message elements. MessageTypes.xsd in turn imports another file, GridTypes.xsd, which includes definitions for the fine-grained data types corresponding to the actual fields in the input and output messages. Now when I use Tools -> Generate Documentation -> WSDL Documentation from Services.WSDL to produce HTML documentation, it doesn't seem to be aware of the definitions in MessageTypes.xsd (let alone GridTypes.xsd). The Type column for each message just says "N/A". Ideally I'd like to see the correct type from MessageTypes.xsd in here, and have the ability to click through to that type's actual definition. Am I missing something here? Or does the whole schema really have to be stored in the WSDL in order for the doc generator to pick up the types correctly? This seems like a pretty serious limitation since storing everything in the WSDL is pretty bad practice for non-trivial services. Anyone know a workaround, or an alternative way to achieve this? Cheers, Andrew.

Way to Open Files that Start with "." on OS X/Linux?
by Eliot Kimber 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

I'm working with DOCX files and the key file in a DOCX package is the .rels file in the _rels directory. If I unpackage the archive (for convenience of processing with XSLT), under OS X the normal Oxygen file chooser won't show files that start with "." (per normal unix/linux rules). I can open the file from the command line of course, but is there a way to access such files via the normal file chooser?

trouble with oxygen svn client
by Christian Wittern 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Hi there, Recently, I ran into some issues with the SVN client, so I thought I talk about them here to see if there is a way to resolve the problem. I am using the svn+ssh protocol to tunnel the svn connection through ssh For security reasons, my ssh server has an unusual port. Now oxygen seems not to look at the configuration for SSH in ~/.ssh/config which means I have to specify the port on the URL like: svn+ssh:/<server>:<port>/path/to/rep This allows me to access the repository from within Oxygen. The problem with this is, however, that it makes other SVN tools fail. So if I want to use SCPlugin (this is the Mac equivalent to TortoiseSVN), it fails with a 'Connection error'. While I do not know which of the two behaviors is correct, I think it could be solved if Oxygen would allows to specify the port separately from the repository URL. But there might be other solutions as well?

Setting up catalogs
by David Linton 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

I'm evaluating Oxygen for our DITA installation and have hit on a bit of a problem: everything works very well for the DITA files, including XML catalog resolution for specializations, etc., but links and the ditamap editor aren't getting resolved. I use URNs in links between source files, to allow authors to have local copies of resources which live in our source control system, such as <topicref href="urn:quative.tv:docs:quative/company/en_GB/concept/AboutQuative.dita" />. The documentation[1] says that "the OASIS XML catalogs present in the list maintained in the XML Catalog Preferences panel will be scanned trying to map a remote system ID (at document validation) or a URI reference (at document transformation)" If I read this correctly, this means you ignore catalog entries for URIs at validation time, which would explain why nothing is working. Is this the case, and if so, do you have any plans to support URI links in upcoming versions of Oxygen ? rgds David Linton Quative Limited .

Hi, If my understanding of the problem is correct then could the OASIS Catalog files eventually be able to lookup local copies of external XML documents referenced by URLs using the "xlink" element attribute? If so this will be fantastic. If not can I ask for a feature that will allow this? Thanks.

Handling Asian Characters in UI and Editor
by Eliot Kimber 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

In the process of testing our RSuite produce I've created some test documents that include a mix of Asian and latin characters, both in file names and in content. In both cases, Oxygen by default uses a font that does not have glyphs for the Asian characters. It would be nice if Oxygen could automatically apply appropriate fonts for characters in well-known character ranges (e.g., applying Arial Unicode MS or Sim Hei to characters in the unified ideograph range under Windows, for example). Not sure how practical this is but it would be nice.

feature request: suggestion of named entities/suggestion of imported xsl:stylesheets and xsl:params
by Stefan Krause 17 Jun '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, after working with OxygenXML for some years, I want to thank you for developing and enhancing this great tool. For instance, the instant renaming of closing tags after editing the opening was a nice improvement coming with the last version. Anyway, I have two feature requests regarding the text editor in xslt-mode: (1) I often use named entities (such as <!ENTITY cr "
">). In the text editor, the suggestion list is only filled with basic entities (&/'/>/</"). It would be very helpful if the suggestion list would be filled automatically with the named entities defined in the xml prologue (or used in the document). (2) While editing xslt documents, the text editor only suggests templates and params defined within the same document. It would be great if the suggestion list would also refer to templates and params that are defined in imported/included stylesheets.

Feature Request: Open XML Package files (e.g., .docx, NIMAS, MARS, etc.) as projects
by Eliot Kimber 07 Jun '08

07 Jun '08

I just tried opening a Word .docx file, which of course doesn't work. But it occurred to me that it would be really useful to have the package opened as a tree in the project view (or a view analogous to the DITA Map View) and then enable navigation to component files that way. I suppose this could be generalized for Zip files of any sort, not just those that contain primarily XML or that are expected to have an XML doc as their root/manifest file.

Shared project files
by Christian Wittern 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

Hi there, For a project here, I would like to share a project file between the users, so that I can set it up for a group of users and update it when necessary. My first thought was using SVN, but that leads to conflicts pretty soon, since information about state and open files is also contained in the project file, and this is user specific. So I wonder what others are doing to avoid this problem? Is there a way to efficiently share project files? If it is not currently possible, I would encourage the Syncro team to think about this, since I would believe it to be a common requirement, no? But maybe I am missing something obvious?
