Re: [oXygen-user] Big Graphic Causes "Restart with more memory" Loop
by Radu Coravu 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Hi Eliot, The image is actually 9350 X 10288 pixels with 24 bits of depth. Expanded in memory this should occupy at least 288 MBytes (9350 x 10288 x 3 bytes). We opened it with a regular image viewer and this is actually the amount it actually needed to display the image. So Oxygen would need at least 400 MBs for the same image (300 for the image and 100 for the editor itself). Scaling the picture is not actually an easy task to do because the image needs to be loaded fully in memory before scaling it.

Big Graphic Causes "Restart with more memory" Loop
by Eliot Kimber 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

I was editing a document of normal size (100K) in Author mode. When I created a reference to a 2.4Meg JPG it got into what appeared to be an infinite loop of "Restart with more memory" messages, in that each time I clicked OK or cancel on the dialog another one popped up. I eventually killed the app. This is definitely a case that needs to be trapped and either the graphic not shown or downsampled to a displayable size.

Rename Element Does Not Trigger Format Update
by Eliot Kimber 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

In Author mode, if I do a "rename element" action on an element with specific formatting to an element with different formatting, the formatting is not updated to reflect the new element type. For example, in a DITA doc, changing <b> to <cite> the text is still shown as bold. If I go to text mode and come back to author mode the formatting is of course reflected correctly.

Poll question about file type associations in the Windows installer
by Sorin Ristache 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Hello everyone, We try to get some opinions from oXygen users on the topic of file type associations with the oXygen application in the Windows installer. Currently in the Windows installer of oXygen the file associations are enabled by default (the checkboxes are checked by default in the Select File Associations panel). For example an .xml file is opened with oXygen automatically on double clicking the file in Windows Explorer which is exactly what the association should do. But due to the way file associations work in Windows an XML file cannot be opened in the Internet Explorer browser any more as an XML file, that is instead of opening and parsing the XML file (and halting the parse on a parse error) and displaying it in colors the file open operation is delegated to the application associated with that file type, which is oXygen in our case. This can be annoying for some users. Also you can cast your vote on the poll opened on the oXygen forum: http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/ftopic2728.html Thank you for your input, Sorin

Ant Setup for Generating Schema Documentation?
by Eliot Kimber 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Has anyone done the work to use Ant to run the Oxygen XSD schema generator? I'm looking at the script provided with Oxygen and it's just complicated enough that I thought I see if anyone else had replicated it in Ant. I'm scripting the generation of docs for a number of doctypes at once.

Entering Paragraphs in DITA Content
by Eliot Kimber 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

I'm using OxygenXML for some heads-down authoring of DITA-based content. I had gotten used to being able to do enter/enter to get a <p> element in body content. However, after I entered a few <pre> elements, pre started coming to the top of the list, which broke my conditioning. I think it's important that double enter always result in paragraph, as that's the way most people are conditioned, both by word processors and by other XML editors.

Strange Results from XSD Documentation Generator
by Eliot Kimber 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

I'm trying to use the XSD Documentation Generator on a flattened XSD generated using the NekoDTD tool from a DITA specialization (in this a slightly modified version of the element_ref topic type from the element_ref plug-in). I'm generating the documentation chunked but not processing included or imported schemas (because there aren't any). I'm also turning JavaScript off. However, in my generated HTML I see two things: 1. All the textual links to used element types look like this: <a title=""titlealts" element declaration could not be found." href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="alert('"titlealts" element declaration could not be found.');"> 2. For some elements (e.g., element_ref) the area map for the schema diagram is empty but it is correctly generated for other types. I have not specified a links file because it shouldn't be need since I'm only processing one flattened schema. Any idea what might be going on? I can provide the XSD I'm processing.

Configuring Document Templates
by Eliot Kimber 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

I need to add templates for a number of different document types (in this case, a large number of DITA map and topic specializations). It looks like the "Additional templates directory" just takes a single value: I would expect it to be a list of directories. The way I have my templates organized, each distinct map and topic type is in its own directory and has a templates/ directory beneath it. Have I missed something?

Scripting a set of search and replace actions
by Eliot Kimber 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

This is probably RTFM but I'm lazy so sue me. I'm using Oxygen to do quick-and-dirty data conversion that requires applying the same set of search and replace actions to different files. What I'm doing is too ad-hoc to really warrant creating a full-on script or transform but I'm repeating the process enough times that I'd like to capture part of it. What I'd like to be able to do is save a sequence of search and replace actions that I can then easily load and re-apply. Is there a way to do that today?

Is this a good place to post feature requests?
by Francois Jordaan 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

I know oXygen's support page has a "Feature request" contact option, but posting it in a public forum makes it easier for people to share their agreement or disagreement, or point out if the feature or equivalent already exists. And I noticed several feature requests on the list already. Of course, if oXygen staff won't read them here, then there's little point. f -- francois(a)isotoma.com / Isotoma, Open Source Software Consulting Tel: 01904 567349 / Mobile: 07872 394273 / Fax: 020 79006980 Skype: fjordaan / http://www.isotoma.com Postal Address: Tower House, Fishergate, York, YO10 4UA, UK Registered in England.

How To Apply Saxon XQuery to Input Document of Transformation Scenario
by Eliot Kimber 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

I wanted to apply an XQuery to the input document specified in a Saxon transformation scenario but it wasn't immediately obvious how this would work. I figured out that this works: let $doc := . As the first statement in the query (or the first that doesn't reset the context value). I think this works because Saxon uses the value of the -s parameter as the value of the query's context node (which is accessed using "."). It would be useful to have an example of this in the online help for running XQueries using Saxon.

Can't Apply XQuery Scenario From Document Window
by Eliot Kimber 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

It appears that from a document's window you can only apply XSLT transforms, not XQuery transforms. Is that correct? And if so, why? I tried creating an XQuery scenario that took the current doc as input but when I apply it it's trying to process it as XSLT. I realize this is probably not the normal way to use XQuery, but in this case I wrote a query that analyzes a single document and just want to apply it to a doc without having to re-edit the scenario.

Feature Request: Remember parameters to trang converter

I've been using the trang converter to do some iterative development (generate XSD, test result, fix DTD, generate XSD, try different options, etc.) and found it annoying that the converter dialog didn't remember at least the directories I had used for the input and output, if not the specific files. Would it be possible to have the dialog remember the last values used or default to the directories used for input and output?

Bug? Message Window Goes Away After Opening Transform Result

Using 9.1, build 2007121915, I'm noticing that if I run an XSLT transform that generates output and have that automatically opened in the editor, then when I run the transform (from the XSLT document) I see a messages window but then after the result opens, the messages window goes away.

Re: [oXygen-user] Feature Request: button/keystroke to Untag An Element
by Wendell Piez 26 Dec '07

26 Dec '07

Hey Eliot, Have you started keeping your eye on the element hierarchy list at the top of the document in the Author view? I'm finding it very useful. Not only does it indicate where in the hierarchy the cursor is located, but I can select whole elements from the ancestry of the current cursor position by clicking on its name in the list. To do what (I believe) you're asking about below is as simple as getting the cursor in the right place (in between the wrapper and its first or last child), and using backspace, delete or the equivalent to remove a layer of containment. Other functionalities you're used to from other products can probably be usefully addressed this way too. Of course, when tags are invisible this does require you have a good mental model of your element hierarchy -- but then you have that.
