Schematron, XPath 2.0, "fn" prefix
by Brett Zamir 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

Hi, (I also posted this basic message in the online forums) I'm trying to use an XPath 2.0 (regular expression) function within Schematron, and I'm seeming to have a problem with the supposedly optional namespace "fn" when I try to validate. The error message I get is: The URI http://www.w3.org/2003/11/xpath-functions does not identify an external Java class I've tried it with and without the namespaces, whether in <schema>, <ns>, or within assert@test... I've also specified in the options that I want XPath 2.0, and it's showing up correctly as 2.0 in the toolbar. I'm using the trial edition of Oxygen Home edition, though from the feature comparison chart at http://www.oxygenxml.com/feature_matrix.html , I don't see any feature missing there that I need for this... Any ideas of what I need to do? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <schema xmlns="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron" xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2003/11/xpath-functions"> <ns prefix="tei" uri="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" /> <ns prefix="fn" uri="http://www.w3.org/2003/11/xpath-functions" /> <pattern id="Bahai_Date"> <rule context="tei:date/@calendar"> <assert test="fn:matches(., 'Bahai')">The date's calendar should be set to "Baha'i"</assert> </rule> </pattern> </schema> sincerely, Brett

You can see how the DITA support is configured in oXygen 9 in Options -> Preferences -> Document Type Association -- DITA. If you select the DITA document type and press the edit button you can see that there are three predefined transformation scenarios: DITA to DocBook, DITA to HTML, DITA to PDF. You can add your own scenarios to this list. In your case the editing support added by the Ant plugin to Eclipse is not needed so the Eclipse Ant plugin does not simplify using the DITA Open Toolkit. I think you can execute the DITA build scripts both from oXygen standalone with Ant configured as an external tool and from the Ant plugin. Regards, Sorin

UI questions
by Khaled Aly 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Hello I've got several questions that are mostly UI related: - When we split screen while editing, how can we open different files within each sub-screen? I know that works as it occurred accidentally while I was dragging a file tab, but I cannot re-produce it. - Can we have multiple project files *.xpr opened and presented within the project/file pane on the left? Advantage: When we switch project using Project > Re-open, one must save the current project files, and then open the other project files as needed. With multiple project trees, it's simpler to relate across files from each. - There probably should be a way to validate *.xsl files since there is an XSL (1.0) DTD. When I try to validate I get an error msg that JAXP isn't installed. "The transformer JAXP is not present! Please install it in the folder: file:/C:/Program Files/Oxygen XML Editor 8.2/lib/" - Anyone has links to multiple output extension XSL elements when Saxon or Xalan are used for transformation to HTML (analogous to the <xt:document)? - Soren: any plans of introducing a "tagged" view in the next release, in addition to "Text" and "Grid"? - I'm not familiar with Eclipse and I currently use the standalone oXygen version. But I believe Eclipse must have Ant installed, so would this be of help for editing and executing Ant build files for DITA on the same platform? I'm not sure, otherwise, if Oxygen built-in transformers (e.g. Saxon 6.5.5) can be use with a 'standalone' Ant version, or would one in this case need to install the processor separately? Many thanks Khaled

oXygen 9 beta adding WYSIWYG like editing support
by George Cristian Bina 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

Hello, In case you did not find out already - we made available a beta version of oXygen 9 http://www.oxygenxml.com/download-beta.html A license key for testing v9 beta is available on the above page. Version 9 runs side by side with version 8 and it is recommended to backup your data as this is a beta version, that means it is not fully tested. The tagless editing support will be available also in the Eclipse plugin - we will make that available as well in a couple of weeks.

stack overflow -- again
by Syd Bauman 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

I know this has been discussed on this list before, and I apologize for not just looking through the archives myself -- my excuse is that I'm on the road, due to teach using oXygen in a matter of hours, and all h#!! is breaking loose. I have generated some schemas that oXygen can't use to validate an instance; and, I note, oXygen can't validate them. In both cases it sufferes a stack overflow. I am using the current release and have set -Xmx999M and -Xms64M at the end of my oxygenMac.sh file (which is how I invoked oXygen). The schemas can be found at http://bauman.zapto.org/~syd/temp/temi.rnc http://bauman.zapto.org/~syd/temp/temi.rng I tried to validate the schemas w/o using oXygen. `jing` complained that the version of relaxng.rng that came with oXygen does not have a <start> element, but it says that temi.rng is valid against the relaxng.rnc that came with nxml-mode. `rnv` agrees on both counts. (I've also tried several diffferent combinations of TEI modules to see what would and would not cause a stack overflow, but do not have a definitive answer yet.) Can anyone provide any useful info here?

Oxygen 8.2: File navigation dialogs very slow
by Eliot Kimber 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

I'm seeing an odd behavior on one of my machines which is that the file navigation dialogs for Oxygen have started responding very slowly. The problem appears to be limited to Oxygen (I don't see the problem in Eclipse or Explorer). It feels like a network timeout problem. Any idea what might cause this or how I can diagnose it? I've tried closing and restarting Oxygen of course. Cheers, E. ---- W. Eliot Kimber Senior Solutions Architect Really Strategies, Inc. 512 554 9368

Dear Christian, The log files are many and very large. I looked in one of them and I could not find data about the hang. Until I look in all the log files that you sent please try to get a smaller oXygen log with the problem. For this you should close all the files that are already open in oXygen, close oXygen, remove all oxygen.log.* files, start oXygen again, reproduce the problem without any additional work in oXygen if that is possible and send again the generated oxygen.log.* file(s).

oxygen says W3C html strict DTD has errors
by Lars Huttar 21 Sep '07

21 Sep '07

Hello, I'm editing an HTML document in Oxygen. The document begins with <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> When I try to save, Oxygen shows an "error" in the DTD: SystemID: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd Location: 81:5 Description: The declaration for the entity "ContentType" must end with '>'. The offending location is the second of these three lines in strict.dtd: <!ENTITY % ContentType "CDATA" -- media type, as per [RFC2045] --> Maybe this is because the DTD is an SGML DTD rather than an XML one? I don't know, but it seems strange for a W3C DTD to be called erroneous! Incidentally, I think this DOCTYPE declaration was added by HTML Tidy, or possibly by an HTML editor program. Lars

Hello, I could browse the content of the eXist database and open files in oXygen without problems by using the jar files from the latest eXist distribution available on the eXist website (eXist version 1.1.1 build 4311, build number 20061104). I opened the file db/shared/biblib.xq from the Database Explorer view of oXygen and I edited and saved it without errors or hangs. Also I opened the file using WebDAV (the Open URL action) and I edited and saved it using Ctrl + S without errors or hangs. The same thing happened when I saved the edited file to the same location using WebDAV (the Save to URL action). When I tried to save it to other location (db/shared/biblib2.xq, db/home/chris/biblib2.xq) the WebDAV server reported the 403 Forbidden error which means the guest user does not have permission to create new files. The same thing on both Windows XP and Mac OS X. Can you send detailed steps specifying also the path to a file in the eXist database for opening and saving the file for which oXygen hangs on your computer?

oxygen hangs when saving to URL
by Christian Wittern 18 Sep '07

Dear oXygen users and developers, When using oXygen to access files on the eXist database, I frequently encounter a situation where oXygen hangs and stops responding to any input. This occurs when saving to URL, especially, (although I am not 100% sure, since this is difficult to test efficiently) but not always, when saving a new file. I wonder what might cause this problem and how to avoid it. For your information, this happens on both Intel and PPC Macs with the latest OS X installed (but I seem to recall having this also experienced with a Windows XP machine), eXist is a recent SVN build.

Generating "hot" reports
by Wendell Piez 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Hi, One nice feature in oXygen is that you can wire in External Tools, and oXygen will capture their outputs in a Command Results panel. Another is, of course, that you can link directly from reports generated by validators, XPath queries and the like -- which also appear in Command Results panels. Can these two features be combined? In other words, would it be possible for me to generate a report in an external tool which, once oXygen picked it up in its panel, would allow me to link directly to locations named in the report? I'm familiar with the "SystemID", "Location", "Description" format oXygen saves out from command results, but apparently (unless I'm missing something) what I want to do here isn't quite as simple as creating this format. Is this a feature request, or should I be able to accomplish what I want already?

debugger questions

Hello, Just wanted to send some feed back on the tool regarding the xsl debugger: - Why do breakpoints not set ? There are 2 "add break point"s in the right click menu ... only 1 seems to add break points ... the other just changes the colour of the break point. - Watched variables don't update as you step in the debugger ... unless of course you click around in the gui to force a refresh ... this makes debugging pretty annoying ... - Can't break on variable definitions ... i keep getting an error msg that says "Breakpoints can only be created on a line containing the end of a start tag" ? - Inside some looping constructs it seems watches on certain xpaths return null ... even though variables dependent on the same xpath are set ...

Editing & Processing DITA on 8.2
by Khaled Aly 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

Hello Sorin / oXygen users Can anyone provide some guidelines/clues on using DITA 1.0 on oXygen 8.2 (while it does not yet incorporate DITA's Open Toolkit), provided the right DTDs are referenced. I got below some specific issues: - Filename extensions: although DITA's topic or map markup is well-formed XML and should validate against the corresponding DTD, DITA uses the file name extensions: *.dita and *.ditamap. As far as editing and validating, they seem to validate well with these extensions. - Now for OT processors that are available in O2 current version: Saxon 6.5.5 and FOP, can we set transformation scenarios, based on OT supplied XSLT sheets and process them to generate PDF out of a topic file or a map file? - This is probably for oXygen support. Siren: is the direction to strictly follow the processing tools and scenarios specified by OT (since they are part of the standard), or can we expect oXygen as an independent vendor to provide further transform scenarios beyond those specified by the OT. There is a bit of fuzziness of whether DITA is perceived as an XML application or as a tool. I tend to think of it as an application, but if it is fully dependent on the OT for processing, then it is more like a tool without a specific realization. Appreciate your feedback .

Using Catalogs with Saxon8B XQuery Processor
by Eliot Kimber 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

I'm trying to use Saxon through Oxygen to query documents that require a catalog for DTD resolution (the DTD system ID is an absolute URI that isn't a real location). I've configured Oxygen's catalog setup to use my catalogs and that works fine. When I try to doc a query like this: Let $docs := collection(iri-to-uri("mydocsdir&recurse=yes;select=*.xml")) I get a "404 Not Found for: {URI of DTD} I didn't see any obvious option for specifying the catalog. Since I'm using Saxon's built-in catalog resolver I'm not sure what to do to make it work with my catalogs. Thanks, Eliot ---- W.

3-way merge?
by lars 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Hello, The XML Diff/Merge tool that comes with Oxygen looks pretty nice. However there doesn't seem to be provision for a 3-way merge (using a common ancestor). This kind of merge is a common requirement when a repository of XML documents is continually modified by a distributed team or company; users need to keep merging others' changes to documents with their own changes before committing modified documents to the repository. This would tie in well with the Synchro SVN client, which allows you to perform merges in exactly this situation, but apparently without the benefit of common-ancestor-awareness (?), or at least without XML-awareness and common-ancestor-awareness at the same time. Are there any plans to incorporate 3-way (common ancestor) merge into Oxygen Diff/Merge tool? Regards, Lars

DocBook 5 rng-based documents
by Khaled Aly 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Hi oXygen 8.2 supports both DocBook 4.4 and 5.0. According to Norm Welsh DockBook5 Definitive Guide [quote/unquote]: "The normative schema for DocBook V5.0 is the RELAX NG Grammar with its Schematron annotations. The only reason to use a DTD with DocBook V5.0 is if your editing environment (or other tool) requires one, for example, for syntax directed editing." The sample provided with oXygen 8.2 has this declaration: <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V5.0//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/5.0/docbook.dtd"> Anyone knows what should be the proper DOCTYPE declaration if the document is to be based on the RNG. And is there any specific impact on transformation functions in that case? Thanks for help. ka
