[ann] Webinar - How Merck Advanced Their Global Content Collaboration
by Mihai Ionescu 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

A reminder that our next partner webinar is being held on Tuesday 29 October 2013: "How Merck Advanced Their Global Content Collaboration" Since 1899, Merck & Co. has been publishing medical information for physicians, pharmacists, veterinarians, and people interested in medical care who did not have a medical degree. Today, these publications, known as The Merck Manuals, require hundreds of writers from around the world to contribute and revise content on an ongoing basis. With such a large and dispersed team, Merck experienced many challenges in the technologies needed to coordinate and maintain publishing schedules as well as in the varied technical skill levels of team members. Join this webinar, hosted by Vasont Systems and Syncro Soft/oXygen XML Editor, to hear how Merck has advanced their content management and collaboration processes with this global team to overcome these challenges. Please register for this interesting webinar at the following link: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/550235945 We look forward to you joining us tomorrow!

Hi Adrian, yes copying the jre folder solved the problem. Thanks. Hi Matthew, no, converting EPS to SVG is not an option.

Autocorrect smart quotes in editor mode? Or only author mode?
by Robert Nagle 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Hi, there, I was happy to notice that in version 15 you now have Autocorrect Preferences for autocorrecting smart quotes. But I'm not sure how to use it properly. First, does this autocorrect option only work in Author Mode? When you go in Author Mode, will it automatically change all existing quotes appearing in rendered text (as opposed to elements) into smart quotes? Second, a more basic question. Can I assume that whenever I am editing an attribute of an element that this Autocorrect option will not change it? Actually, a third question which is even more elementary. If I were to do a global substitution which resulted in attribute quotes as having smart quotes instead of normal quotes, would the parser still process it normally? I publish a lot of fiction by myself and others. I often do a lot of writing and editing both in editor mode as well as author mode. (I often don't notice what mode I am in).

Output from an XSLT transform - other editor formats?
by Steven Anderson 27 Oct '13

27 Oct '13

I'm transforming some content from XML to JSON. Oxygen has a nice JSON editor, but my transform output options, when opening in the editor, are limited to XHTML, XML, or SVG. Is it possible to open another editor variant from the transform? -- Steve

Preview of Illustrator EPS graphics in oXygen
by Yves Barbion 25 Oct '13

25 Oct '13

Hi group I've got Illustrator EPS graphics in my DITA topics. I followed the instructions in this Help topic to install the Java Advanced Imaging(JAI) Image I/O Tools plug-in: http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-editor/tasks/author-image-rendering-jai.htm… However, I don't see a preview yet, even though my EPS file does have an 8-bit TIFF preview. My java.runtime.name is "Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment", so I downloaded jai_imageio-1_1-lib-windows-i586-jre.exe And I installed it in the folder which is specified in my java.home, namely: c:\program files\oxygen xml editor 15.1\jre Any ideas? Thanks -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu

Small bug
by KAATMAN Matthew 25 Oct '13

25 Oct '13

With Oxygen 15.1 I noticed a small issue today. Just for curiosity I tried processing my AHF styles with FOP. It produced some errors as I expected but one of the errors was pointing to an old help file. System ID: C:\dita\en\products\foo\temp\pdf\oxygen_dita_temp\topic.fo Scenario: BMX User AHF PDF Input file: C:\dita\en\products\foo\Foo_User_Manual.ditamap Engine name: DITA-OT Severity: error Description: The flow-name "even-body-footer" on fo:static-content could not be mapped to a region-name in the layout-master-set. Start location: 79:0 URL: http://www.oxygenxml.com/internalHelp/fop-processing-breaks-dita-pdf The above URL gives a 404. I think it should have been pointing to: http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-authorEclipse/index.html#tasks/fop-processi… AVIS : Ce courrier et ses pieces jointes sont destines a leur seul destinataire et peuvent contenir des informations confidentielles appartenant a bioMerieux.

Oxygen add-on hosted as GitHub release

FYI, here's a description of how I got a framework add-on bundle -- a copy of Wendell's oXygenJATSFramework -- to be hosted on the GitHub project containing the source: http://inasmuch.as/2013/10/23/oxygen-add-on-hosted-on-github/ (The framework files themselves are unchanged, so if you already have Wendell's framework, you don't need my version.)

author action - value parameter question(s)
by Andreas Wagner 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

Dear list, this is my first dabble with a document type framework and with the list, so please be lenient. a) I want to create an author mode action in order to change a certain attribute. I am using the ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.ChangeAttributeOperation operation and have set the value attribute to ${ask('break=',combobox,('yes';'no';'maybe';'':'null'),'')} Now I would like to set the default value not to some static default but to what is currently present in the attribute. Is there some way to get the value of this attribute in the action's parameter definition? b) On a related note, is there a Operation in place that would allow me to just edit whatever is there as attributes in the current element - as one long, free-text string? The ChangeAttributeOperation seems to be able to change only one attribute, so for editing several attributes of one and the same element I have to define different actions and trigger them separately...? c) Finally, I would like to use i18n inside of the ask() variable, say for the message part. Is that possible? Sorry for asking three questions at once, I just hope they are so closely related that it makes sense to do it this way.
