Expand/Collapse all with one cliock

These commands do what they say: The expand or collapse ALL. What I want is: Expand or collapse only sibling elements (elements on the same level as the element on which I click). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Am 13.02.2023 um 22:29 schrieb Stefan Jung: > Frank, > > Have you tried the "collapse all" in the contextual menu? > > Best > > > Gesendet mit OX Mail > > Frank Dissinger <frank.dissinger(a)cgs-oris.com > <http://frank.dissinger@cgs-oris.com>> hat am February 13, 2023 um > 6:32 PM geschrieben: > > Hi list, > > > Is it possible to expand/collapse all items at the same level with > just one click?

Inserting current date into DITA file
by Frank Dissinger 14 Feb '23

14 Feb '23

Hi Stefan, Thank you for your reply. I already did a similar thing for the MiramoPDF plug-in: <xsl:variable name="bc.currentDate" select="format-date(current-date(), '[Y0001]')"/> <xsl:template match="*[@outputclass = 'current_year']" > <xsl:value-of select="$bc.currentDate" /> </xsl:template> It was a matter of just adding this code to a "custom.xsl" file. In oXygen's CHM tranformation, I wouldn't know where add this code. I am not XSLT savvy enough.

Adding attributes to images inserted from DITA Reusable Components view

Image and table width in Author mode
by Frank Dissinger 14 Feb '23

14 Feb '23

Hi list, I publish DITA content as online help and PDF. In oXygen's Author mode I would like to make sure that images do not exceed the width of the A4-sized PDF pages. Sometimes I also place two or more inline images side by side in a paragraph and want to make sure if all of them fit on the line or if there is a line break between them. All my images have PNG format and an "otherprops="fmdpi:xxx" attribute where xxx is usually 150, in some cases 140, 160 or similar. FrameMaker, my previous XML editor, honors this attribute and scales the images appropriately. I notice that oXygen displays images bigger in its editor compared to 150 dpi images in FrameMaker. I would need to reduce all images to about 66% of their size (= by factor 1.5). Unfortunately I do not know of any CSS style which scales images based on their own pixel size. Percentage values in CSS apply to the widht or height of the viewport. Likewise, I would like to make sure that table columns are not too narrow on the PDF pages. What can I do? Any ideas are welcome.

DITA footnotes in Author mode
by Frank Dissinger 09 Feb '23

09 Feb '23

Hi list, oXygen does not seem to have any special styling for DITA footnotes in Author mode. They are just shown as inline elements in italics. Has anybody managed to style footnots with CSS in a way similar to how they would like on a page, i.e. on the bottom of the page with ascending numbers and a superscript number at the location where the footnote is referenced? I made some attempts with "fn {position: absolute; bottom: -2em}", but was not CSS-skilled enough to prevent the footnotes all being placed on top of each other. And I don't know how to implement a counter for elements that are scattered over the element tree (not children of the same element). Any ideas?

Re: [oXygen-user] Conkeyrefs not rendered on map-level
by Sascha Nothofer 02 Feb '23

02 Feb '23

Hi Radu, thanks for your analysis of my issue! Your questions and thoughts helped me to track down the problem. If you try to publish a map containing a title (or data element) with a conkeyref like this <map><title><ph conkeyref="key/productName"/></title>...</map> and if the reused element contains another element with an id attribute like this <ph id="productName"><ph id="otherId">...</ph>...</ph> then the DITA OT 3.7.3 (Oxygen 25.0 build in) is not able to resolve the reference on map level. For example the pdf front page title does not contain the referenced content. If you use conref instead, everything is fine. Conkeyrefs from topic to topic are also resolved as expected. It looks like a OT bug. Thx!

Oxygen 25.0 comes bundled with DITA OT 3.7 from what I remember, maybe there is some incompatibility between your custom PDF plugin and DITA OT 3.7. Do you have also a DITA DTD specialization plugin?

If you can reproduce about the same problem when editing and when publishing, the problem is usually somewhere in the DITA Open Toolkit publishing engine, some plugin which may not be installed.

If you edit the action "insert.table", it calls an operation named "ro.sync.ecss.extensions.dita.topic.table.InsertTableOperation" with certain parameters. One of the parameters is named "cellFragment", you can set its value to "". There are other ways to change a table, for example insert a new column, insert a new row. So actions like "insert.table.row.below" or "insert.table.column.after" which also need to be changed accordingly. 2) Inserting elements like <info> using the content completion window. Your DITA extension framework customization can contain a "cc_config.xml" file which defines that for certain elements, if they are inserted, another element should be inserted inside them as well: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-editor/topics/configure-elements-attr-cc-i… Hope this helps.

FM/OXY: Different DITA code for "conkeyref"
by Frank Dissinger 27 Jan '23

27 Jan '23

Hi list, As some of you know, I have just switched from FrameMaker to oXygen. I discovered that the two programs create different DITA code for "<dlentry conkeyref="...">. oXygen creates an empty * *tag before the closing </dlentry> tag. Are both codes equally correct? Or is one better than the other? oXygen code: <dlentry conkeyref="lib_ref/search"> <dt/> <dd>**</dd> </dlentry> FrameMaker code: <dlentry conkeyref="lib_ref/search"> <dt/> <dd/> </dlentry> Referenced dita topic: <dlentry id="search"> <dt><uicontrol keyref="color_search_box"/></dt> <dd>Use this option to quickly find a specific color if many colors are loaded.Enter the first few letters or any part of the color name. This will select the first color the name of which is matched by these characters.If your input matches multiple colors, click on the small arrow to select a color from the list. This list contains only colors with names that contain the characters you have entered.</dd> </dlentry> BTW: This difference became obvious after defining a Schematron rule which outputs an error for <dd> elements which do not have any child elements. I have defined this rule and many similar ones because I want to wrap every paragraph in wherever is valid. The FM-generated code (<dd/>) is marked up as invalid by this rule. It would be a nightmare to change all these hundreds of "conkeyref"s in all my projects. Or should I just do without this check (i.e. the second "assert")? <sch:pattern id="Check_DD"> <sch:rule context="dd"> <sch:assert test="not(text()[normalize-space()])">DD element must not contain any text.</sch:assert> <sch:assert test="*">DD does not contain any child elements</sch:assert> </sch:rule> </sch:pattern> Regards, Frank -- *Frank Dissinger* Documentation Manager .................................................................... *CGS Publishing Technologies International GmbH* *Email *frank.dissinger(a)cgs-oris.com | *Web* www.cgs-oris.com <http://www.cgs-oris.com/> *Address* Kettelerstr. 24 | D-63512 Hainburg | Germany *Phone* +49 6182 9626-27 | *Fax* +49 6182 9626-99 *Commercial register* Offenbach, HRB no. 21495 *Managing directors* Bernd Rückert, Christoph Thommessen https://www.cgs-oris.com/Signatur.png <https://www.cgs-oris.com/signatur>

After Fluenta update the context menu action disappeared
by Franz-Josef Knelangen 26 Jan '23

26 Jan '23

Hello, the Fluenta context menu action in the DITA Maps Manager view disappeared after updating to Fluenta 3.3. Reinstalling the plug-in didn't help, reinstalling Oxygen didn't help either. Is there some temporary config file I have to change/delete to get this working again? Please, advice.

Conkeyrefs not rendered on map-level
by Sascha Nothofer 25 Jan '23

25 Jan '23

Hi DITA & Oxygen Users, Currently I want to switch from Oxygen 23 to 25.0 including an extracted build-in DITA-OT3.x with custom pdf2 plugin but In the updated environment we have the following effect: In almost all DITAVAL contexts (we have a lot) the variable texts are not rendered into the DITA Map anymore without error messages. Just a few DITAVAL contexts produce output as before. In published content topics/chapters everything is fine -> conkeyrefs are resolved. Also Oxygen Author WYSIWYG resolves all conkeyrefs as expected in topics and in the map. In the pre-processing output (…_MERGED.xml) the specific map elements do not contain the variable text but conref attributes with wrong transformed links: The conrefs contain “path/topic.dita#ElementID” instead of “path/ditatopic.dita#topicID/ElementID” In correct output contexts there are no conref attrubtes rendered into output, just the elements with resolved text. I guess, there could be many different reasons for this. I tried a lot and couldn’t reproduced the problem in a simple test project. I also did´nt manage to simplify our project to a working state. Maybe someone experienced a similar effect (conkeyrefs in topic content resolved but not in map title/data elements) and can provide hints for a possible cause and or solution. What I can say so far: - It has nothing todo with the custom pdf plugin: same problem with build-in pdf and html transformation scenarios. - We are using only standard pdf parameter settings. - It has nothing todo with filtering directly because I have deleted all filter atts in the conkeyref chain in scope of the problem. Also our props attribute specialization does not affect the problem. - We do not use: - - scoped keys and ditavalref in maps - - push-replace - Same problem with and without DITA project files. - Problem is not caused by DITA topic content structures (I have copied content from working to non-working context. I'm curious if someone has already seen something like this.

Hi Oxygen users does anyone know whether it's possible to change the size of the thumbnail images in the DITA Reusable Components pane, similar to what you can do in Windows Explorer (right-click and then choose View > small | medium | large | extra large icons)? Kind regards Yves

If you expand the XQuery entry from the left navigation pane you should find "Saxon-HE/PE/EE", that is the target page that contains that option.

SMEs will seamlessly concurrently edit all the DITA topics by opening just the DITA Map that shows all topics expanded, also having the possibility to easily get around, sort topics, and add new ones. Here are some features that will be presented during this event: * Conflict-free Git workflow with concurrent editing for SMEs with no DITA knowledge required * How to insert new DITA topics with inline actions * How to navigate and edit a DITA Map with Outline pane * The Smart Paste improvements * The new actions from the Floating Toolbar This is a free event but registration is required.

DITA Reusable Components list (Keys tab) does not update
by Frank Dissinger 19 Jan '23

Hi list, I am used to edit ditamaps with key definitions using Notepad++. Having done so, I do not know how to update the list of keys in the DITA Reusable Components window. I can reindex the information on the Components tab, but there is no reindexing function for the Keys tab and pressing F5 does not have any effect. What can I do other than editing the key definitions in oXygen?

CSS validation warnings

18 Jan '23

Hi list, I keep getting the following CSS validation errors for my "custom.css" file in oXygen V25: * Unknown pseudo-element or pseudo-class “:no-tags” * Negative values are not allowed: -0.5em /(padding)/ * Property “margin-inline-start” doesn't exist : 0 This is annoying because the "Results" window keeps popping up whenever I save a dita file. How can I tell oXygen to ignore these elements/properties/values? I can't find the required settings under "Options > Preferences > CSS Validator".

Going from FrameMaker to oXygen

Hi Chris, Thank you again for your reply (on the DITA Users List). I haven't had the time to read it in full detail and try out some of the suggestions until now. * /Selecting just the opening tag and pressing Enter will allow you to change the element from one type to another./ How would you select just the opening tag? If I do that in Author mode, the opening and closing tag with everything in between gets selected. When I then press Enter, I can surround the tag with another. In Text mode, the tag gets deleted when I press Enter. * /We have a "Show Page Width" alternative CSS style that helps writers visualize page width, as a guide to table and figure sizing./ Would you mind sharing this style with me? Thank you. Best regards, Frank ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Am 07.12.2022 um 13:24 schrieb Chris Papademetrious: > Hi Frank, > > If you are not using the DITA Perspective in Oxygen, I suggest > enabling it: > > https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/25.0/ug-author/topics/dita-perspecti… > > It applies a collection of settings that are useful for DITA editing. > > Some more random thoughts: > > * We also find the tag-based map view in an editing window to be > somewhat overwhelming.
