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

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. Thank you again, Stefan Krause - ---------------------------------------------- Directmedia Publishing GmbH Möckernstraße 68 10965 Berlin Telefon +49 (030) 78 90 46-66 Telefax +49 (030) 78 90 46-97 E-Mail skrause(a)directmedia.de Eingetragen im Handelsregister Berlin-Charlottenburg Registernummer: HR B 58002 Vertretungsberechtigte Gesellschafter: Ralf Szymanski, Erwin Jurschitza USt.Id.

Problem using Arabic script in "Quick Find"

SHIFT + CTRL + P customization
by Karl Stubsjoen 09 Jun '08

How do you customize XML document formatting? I'd like to, for example, control which elements wrap, and which elements sit inline with other elements. I started to write an XSL transformation, but moved on from completing it (other fish to fry) but if someone has one that is complete or near complete, I'd certainly contribute to the effort! Karl..

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?

Feature request: Extend the project functionality!
by Jan Nylund 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

Hello! I recently started using projects within oXygen and it's great to be able to store transformation scenarios with relative paths to the project folder, etc. However, this would be even better if you could improve the functionality, so I thought I'd give you some feedback :) * There is no easy way to see what project is currently active? (except for the file name of the project file) * There is no functionality "close project" ? (I have to restart oxygen if I want it closed) * It would be great to be able to add for example a custom catalog file for a project. Br, Jan -- Jan Nylund System Designer Citec Information Oy Ab

Feature Request: Set Title from Navtitle When Creating New Doc from Map Manager
by Eliot Kimber 05 Jun '08

05 Jun '08

I've developed a pretty efficient practice whereby I use the map manager to create topicrefs to topics that don't yet exist and then take advantage of the "Create new document?" feature to create the document from a template. Since there is no ambiguity about where the title of the topic goes, I think it would be reasonable in this case for Oxygen to set the title of the newly-created topic to the navtitle value in all cases (even where the template document has a non-empty title). I can't think of a reason why in DITA you would have topics with invariant titles that you would create more than one of. For clarity, it might be best to provide some sort of "put navtitle here" thingy to put in the template but in this specific case I think it would be acceptable to just blindly create the title. The only time this would fail would be in specializations where the title itself has required subelements (a pattern I use for specialized reference topic types) but I think that would be handled if the rule was "put the title text in the first leaf descendant or self of the topic title", putting the onus on the template to provide any required subelements of topic.

Feature Request: Control-click type and ref attribute values in xsd editor to jump around the schema
by Andrew Welch 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hi, Would it be possible to make type and ref attributes in the xsd editor clickable so that control clicking them jumps to their targets? For example: 1. <xs:element name="foo" type="foo"/> 2. 3. <xs:complexType name="foo"> 4. <xs:sequence> 5. <xs:element ref="foo"/> Clicking type="foo" at 1. jumps to line 3, and clicking ref="foo" at line 5. jumps back to line 1. I know you can do this currently using the diagram view, but it would be really useful if you could do it directly from within the editor. thanks -- Andrew Welch http://andrewjwelch.com Kernow: http://kernowforsaxon.sf.net/

Map Editor Should Remember Last Directory Used for Topicrefs
by Eliot Kimber 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

I noticed that if I use the map editor to create a topic ref, then go to a different file (in my case, a DTD declaration module) then create another topicref, the remembered directory is the directory containing the file I just edited, not the last directory I used to create a topic ref. I think it's the likely case that authors will be linking to topics in the last directory they linked from. Would be convenient if the map editor remembered this directory.

<oXygen/> as diff tool for TortoiseSVN
by Hedley Finger 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

I want to use TortoiseSVN as the poor man's CMS for my XML project (based on DITA DTDs). The built-in diff-merge is line oriented, as are many other diff tools intended for programmers. This can lead to excessive flagging of differences in XML files which, by XML conventions for white space, linebreaks, attribute order, etc. are perfectly identical. Has anybody successfully used <oXygen/> as an XML diff-merge tool with TortoiseSVN or any other programming version management programme? How do you set TortoiseSVN up to invoke <oXygen/> and pass filename parameters, etc.? Any help received will earn my undying and pathetic gratitude! Regards, Hedley P.S.

help with oxygen 9.2
by Juan York 29 May '08

29 May '08

I've recently upgraded from Oxygen 9.1 to Oxygen 9.2 Performing this upgrade seems to have broken my xslt transformations. I have a project which is an extension of docbook 5.0 the custom xslt style sheet that I created imports the docbook.xsl which is located in frameworks. In 9.1 everything worked as expected. The basic layout was <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" version="1.0"> <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/docbook.xsl "/> <xsl:variable name="root.elements" select="' systemfeature scenario appendix article bibliography book systemfeature colophon dedication glossary index part preface qandaset refentry reference sect1 systemfeature set setindex '"/> <xsl:template match="systemfeature"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> And the stylesheet would match the systemfeature element and apply the proper templates to any docbook tags contained within it. Within 9.2 the import statement seems to "stop" the process, I cannot match any elements after I have imported. If there's anyone who can help with this issue it would be much appreciated. thanks Juan

Unfortunately, it appears that Oxygen is including the DITA OT catalog from the frameworks directory even though I have "use default catalog" unchecked in my catalog options and only have my distribution-specific catalog included in the list of user-specified catalogs. Examining the catalog resolution trace I can see that references to the standard DITA declaration sets are resolving to the framework location. Is my expectation of how "use default catalog" should work correct or is there another way to disable use of the framework catalogs?

very slow response when switching back to oXygen
by Seraphim Larsen 23 May '08

23 May '08

Hi all, I'm a pretty new oXygen user (new since version 9.1). Really love the tool! But one thing that is really annoying is that if I leave oXygen for awhile (say, 20 minutes), and then come back to it, it usually takes at least 20-30 seconds before it starts responding, and it can sometimes take several minutes. I guess it's some kind of memory paging issue or something. This sometimes happens with other programs too, but it's much worse with oXygen than with any other program that I use. Is there something I can do to configure oXygen to get rid of this problem? I'm running oXygen 9.2 on Windows XP. Thanks, Seraphim

Setting up and configuring the Idiom FO Plugin in 9.2
by Eliot Kimber 23 May '08

23 May '08

Using 9.2 I tried to use the Idiom plugin to generate PDF. I had not done anything to the built-in framework. The transform scenario panel indicated that XEP was detected, but when I ran it I got a failure saying that it couldn't find xep/lib in /Applications/DITA-OT1.4.1 (this is on OS X). I did not have an /Applications/DITA-OT1.4.1 directory on my machine (although I had in the past). I did a search within the framework for "DITA-OT1.4.1" and couldn't find it. I then tried copying a working copy of xep from another Toolkit instance I had lying about into the framework's fo/lib directory, but no change. Finally, I created the directory it was looking for and put xep there and the PDF generation worked. Clearly there's something odd on my machine that is causing this problem but I have no idea what it might be. I'm afraid I found the online help for setting up the Idiom plugin a bit confusing (although I find the plugin itself a bit confusing). I didn't see any configuration settings that would have been pointing at DITA-OT1.4.1. Is it possible this is actually a bug in the plugin as distributed that was simply masked by the fact that the target directory exists on the machine(s) used to test Oxygen? I would have never noticed the problem if I had kept my 1.4.1 Toolkit around.

Feature Request: Collapse All/Expand All/Expand One Level in DITA Map View
by Eliot Kimber 23 May '08

23 May '08

One of the really nice features of Arbortext Editor is the way you can control the expansion in their tree viewer: expand/collapse all or expand one level (they also implement a triple click that does the expand one level). For example, given a fully-expanded map, selecting the map element and doing "expand one level" would collapse all the children of the map so you only see the direct child topicrefs/topicheads. This is especially handy for very long maps. For example, I'm doing a lot of DTD documentation where I have the reference entries grouped by letter and there might be 150 or 200 separate entries under 20 or more groups. It can take a while for the map to populate all the navigation titles when I first open it, but if it was initially collapsed, it would populate the letter groups pretty fast. It would be really nice if this could be set as the default expansion for opening maps. I'm not sure if it would be practical to remember the expansion state of the map on save, probably not, but that would be handy too.

Feature Request: Groovy Language Support
by Eliot Kimber 21 May '08

21 May '08

It would be cool if Oxygen could provide at a minimum syntax highlighting for Groovy language programs. Not a high-priority feature, probably but I've started using Groovy for doing scripting against Java APIs (I would probably use Jython myself but it wasn't my choice to make).

More Java memory errors with oXygen 9.2
by Jacques Foucry 19 May '08

19 May '08

Hello, Using oXygen for a long time under Mac OS X, the new version (9.2) have more memory errors than previous version. It look like a memory leak. Since this version I pai really attention to the number of open file. But with only two open files but a lot opened and closed before, the memory error appears about every 3 hours of work. I know that I could change the memory allowed to oXygen, but the bug appears too. After more work but it appears. Did somebody else notice this issue ? Best Regards, Jacques

QNames as attribute values in RNC
by Paul Hermans 19 May '08

19 May '08

If I have [code] element creator { (attribute scheme {"overheid:A"}, ("a" | "b" | "c" )) | (attribute scheme {"overheid:B"}, ("d" | "e" | "f" )) } [/code] Oxygen 9.2 acts as expected. After choosing an attribute value for attribute scheme, I do get the correct list of allowed values. "a", "b", "c", if attribute value is overheid:A. ---------------------------------------------- If the datatype is changed to a *QName* [code] element creator { (attribute scheme {xsd:QName "overheid:A"}, ("a" | "b" | "c" )) | (attribute scheme {xsd:QName "overheid:B"}, ("d" | "e" | "f" )) } [/code] whatever attribute value has been chosen, Oxygen 9.2 offers the full value list ("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f").

Feature Request: Combo List of Common non-ASCII Characters
by Eliot Kimber 16 May '08

16 May '08

I find myself needing to insert non-ASCII characters like em-dash and whatnot which is not really convenient to do in Author mode (in text mode I just type the numeric character reference) [while I work on a Mac, I usually use a Windows keyboard so the magic Mac keystrokes for inserting special characters are not available (as far as I know). Anyway, it would be nice to have a configurable pulldown on the tool bar that can be loaded with some number of characters for quick insertion. Would also be handy for authoring equations and whatnot.
