C++ XML Data Binding
by Olumide 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Hello - Given an XML "config" file <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Device manufacturer="ACME" model="Gizmo"> <Frequencies>3200 6400 12800</Frequencies> <ImageSupport value='false'/> <Memory size="128"/> </Device> defining the attributes of an object, what would be the best way to create C++ header and implementation files /* C++ Header File */ namespace ACME { class Gizmo { public: typedef std::vector<unsigned> Frequency; Frequency initializeFrequency(); // ideally, private static const Frequency m_frequency; static const bool m_supportsImages = false; static const unsigned m_deviceMemory = 128; static const std::string name(); }; } /* C++ implementation file */ namespace ACME { const Gizmo::m_frequency = Gizmo::initializeFrequency(); Frequency Gizmo::initializeFrequency() { Frequency freq; freq.push_back( 3200 ); freq.push_back( 6400 ); freq.push_back( 12800 ); return freq; } const std::string Gizmo::name() { return "ACME::Gizmo"; } } I've googled and found some utilities (mostly) commercial but I'm not sure which is the best or if this task can be easily accomplished with XSLT. Regards, - Olumide

Display XREF text

Hey Guys, If I have an empty <xref></xref>, is there a way to display the text that it will pull from whatever it's linking to in the authoring tool? Thanks!

Odd behavior of position() in a predicate
by Mark Baker 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

Can anyone account for the behavior exhibited by the position function in a predicate in the following code sample: <xsl:variable name="x" select="'A', 'B', 'C'" as="xs:string*"/> <xsl:variable name="y" select="'a', 'b', 'c'" as="xs:string*"/> <xsl:for-each select="$x"> <xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()"/> <xsl:message select="position()"/> <xsl:message select="., $y[position()]"/> <xsl:message select="., $y[$pos]"/> </xsl:for-each> As the output below shows, when the value of position is stored in a variable and the variable is used in a predicate, you get what you would expect, the selection of a single item corresponding to the current position. But when position() is used directly in the predicate, it returns all the items in the sequence: [Saxon-PE] 1 [Saxon-PE] A a b c [Saxon-PE] A a [Saxon-PE] 2 [Saxon-PE] B a b c [Saxon-PE] B b [Saxon-PE] 3 [Saxon-PE] C a b c [Saxon-PE] C c Any ideas, or is this simply a bug?

Paste as Link/Content Reference
by KAATMAN Matthew 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

I was wanting to configure a keyboard shortcut for DITA->Paste as Link and DITA->Paste as Content Reference. I didn't see them in the list, I was curious if I missed them. Or if there was a way to add buttons to the toolbar for each of these features, that could be useful as well. Thanks!

default attribute value
by Roderik Dernison 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

Hi, My colleagues want default attribute values for some tags. I've tried: <xs:element name="wordgroup" > <xs:annotation> <xs:documentation>The actual words or sentence of an example.</xs:documentation> </xs:annotation> <xs:complexType> <xs:complexContent> <xs:extension base="wordgroup.class">  </xs:extension> </xs:complexContent> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:complexType name="wordgroup.class" mixed="true"> <xs:attributeGroup ref="wordgroup.attributes"/> </xs:complexType> <xs:attributeGroup name="wordgroup.attributes"> <xs:attribute name="type" type="wordgroup-type-att.class" default="unspecified"/> </xs:attributeGroup> <xs:simpleType name="wordgroup-type-att.class"> <xs:restriction base="xs:string"> <xs:enumeration value="unspecified" /> <xs:enumeration value="compoundpart" /> <xs:enumeration value="circumfix" /> <xs:enumeration value="infix" /> </xs:restriction> </xs:simpleType> But in this case, no value is set for the attribute "type". How can I manage to set a default attribute value that is also shown in oXygen? Kind regards, Ing.

Highlighting text between processing instructions.
by Michael Anthony Smith 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hi, I have read several previous posts on this topic, but still have some questions. Previous topics: http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/topic4909.html http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/topic6949.html http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/topic7103.html Using oXygen 14.1: I am able to write a custom StylesFilter that appropriately adjusts the colour highlighting of elements near processing instructions. I am also able to use the CSS form based editing (oxy_editor) to provide formatting and selection lists for elements. However, I have been unable to find a technique that allows the nodes between a <?oxy_custom_start?> and <?oxy_custom_end?> processing instruction to be accessed via CSS, rather than the AuthorPersistentHighlighter API. Is this possible? The problem with the element based approach is that this requires non-DITA (or other format specific doctype) elements to represent the additional information that we want to process. We would prefer to use processing instructions to contain this additional information, as this would not break the DITA validation. Ideally, we would like to be able to use the form based editing functionality with processing instructions (PIs), whilst the PIs are still hidden from view. Is it possible to 'link' a StyleFilter to the form based editing functionality through the API? Any suggestions welcome. Best regards.

Insert <image> workflow
by KAATMAN Matthew 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

Hello Everyone, This is probably something that is obvious, but there are two workflows for inserting an <image> tag: 1. DITA->Insert->Image - This pops up a URI box to select the image and then adds the tag with the href to the document. 2. From the elements list, select image - This adds the tag to the document. Is there a way to access the URI selection box if you use the 2nd workflow? I guess I'd like to either double click on the image tag to bring it up (currently does nothing). Alternatively/Additionally, when I select href in the attributes list I'd like it to pop up the URI selection. Am I missing an obvious way to do this? If not, is there any way I can configure this behavior? Thanks!

Automatically generating XML schemas using XSLT
by Olumide 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Hello, Following this tutorial (http://www.liquid-technologies.com/Tutorials/XmlSchemas/XsdTutorial_04.aspx -- don't worry, I use Oxygen ;-) ) I've refactored my 733 line schema into 16 separate files or sub-schemas, each with its own namespace. Now the top level schema is just 77 lines. The plan is to use these sub-schema's to build other top-level schemas. The problem is that most top level schema's are quite similar and only differ in a few low level details. For example while one top level schema supports all PaymentMethodType's (see tutorial) another top-level schema may support only VISA and MasterCard. Currently my method of creating top-level schemas involves considerable duplication. For example, my current method of creating a top-level schema in which only VISA and MasterCard are supported would involve duplicating Main.xsd and OrderType.xsd, but customizing CommonTypes.xsd and reuse CustomerTypes.xsd. (As my actual schema is a lot longer a lot more duplication is involved.) I find this duplication unacceptable primarily because it introduces a maintenance challenge i.e. I would have to maintain any number of identical sub-schemas with different names. What I would like to know is if there is a method of automatically generating a schema without via a config file of some sort (XSLT perhaps?), in order to avoid duplicating sub-schemas. Also, is it good practice for all the sub-schemas to declare the same target namespace in this case (just like the xml schema namespace xs, but have custom sub-schemas declare a separate namespace? - Olumide
