whitespace normalization
by Syd Bauman 19 Feb '12

19 Feb '12

Apologies if this is a FAQ -- I'm in mid-workshop. I *think* oXygen already does what I want, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to. I want whitespace to be normalized in <l>, <p>, and <head> elements when I choose format-and-indent. In the Preferences "Editor / Format / XML" pane, in the "Element Spacing" section, I've added //l //p //head to the "Default space" tab, and made sure they are not listed in the "Preserve space" tab. But either with or without an <?xml-stylesheet?> PI to a CSS file, and whether or not "Schema aware format and indent" is checked, oXygen never strips off my leading or trailing whitespace. Any thoughts? Oh ... it just occured to me: I've scanned the help pages, and the decision about whether to normalize space or not seems to be based more on CSS than on those preferences; could the default oXygen CSS stylesheet (for TEI, of course :-) by messing me up, here?

Popups in Author mode ?
by David Lee 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

I'd like to implement something like a popup note in Author. I looked at various CSS implementations ... most use JavaScript which I don't see as supported in Author Mode, but one example used something like this: (below) But I found Oxygen doesn't support hover. Is there anything else that could be used in its place like clicking on a link ? suggestions welcome. a.info{ position:relative; /*this is the key*/ z-index:24; background-color:#ccc; color:#000; text-decoration:none} a.info:hover{z-index:25; background-color:#ff0} a.info span{display: none} a.info:hover span{ /*the span will display just on :hover state*/ display:block; position:absolute; top:2em; left:2em; width:15em; border:1px solid #0cf; background-color:#cff; color:#000; text-align: center} ---------------------------------------- David A.

multiple extensions?
by Roderik Dernison 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Hi, I've made an extension (for bibliographic references) that works in oXygen. Now I've made a second extension (for linguistic terminology). This extension works stand-alone. But when I try to integrate it in oXygen, oXygen says it cannot find a certain webservice it depends on. And secondly, the logging is written to the file of the first extension. Can I "only" add one extension to oXygen?

Namespace prefix unnecessarily added to elements in element list
by David Cramer 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there, I'd like to report an annoyance in oXygen involving namespace prefixes in the element list. If you have a DocBook file that declares the following namespaces: <book xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" xmlns:db="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0" xml:id="os-cs-devguide"> ... Then every DocBook element in the element list will be prefixed with db:. If you remove the xmlns:db="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook". It would be better if oXygen in this situation just ignored the xmlns:db declaration and displayed the DocBook elements in the element list with no prefix. I currently tell the writers to remove the declaration, but the whole issue confuses them. The problem is that we have developers who prefer to use emacs or whatever and have the habit of creating files with a bunch of namespaces, whether they need them or not (see example below). I haven't been able to break them of this habit. <book xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:db="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0" xml:id="os-cs-devguide"> Thanks, David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPPIsRAAoJEMHeSXG7afUh14cIAIfuIfGC2KqhJmWhJctwcEbu 7YBjuLtFrmphRU8fgJPb6jHUodgw0ZfcEb9a5D0jvVPk3aL3//G+WGZhWPNAbfk9 otpfXDMV+o+kgcrvhgAyp0K+2VRE7pbP42pmKAayx5dGBnZOd8Cqlx9mLfS5tGtg RSnYkgT4rcQwyyopeHrW27kaUx7NNsJk6ZeQMWhaHgmDP2/lFCDpwEVABCz2sqW7 DfgWPrkn5nHyv+T22Y9kVboXkRetWA/lZ158HfyjWJfZ07DOSgcuvRQ+JwD9ivBB +P6iI645RSDdDWlxY7AUP3oYbpsvY+Q8oVOroem2Ml3L6pH5S1lw1uwRVkAQ58M= =1zWu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

CSS Validation problems
by David Lee 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

I'm editing a css file for use in Author mode. My default CSS validator is set for "CSS 3 with oxygen extensions" Content completion is working fine but somehow validating the CSS is finding errors where there should be none. Any suggestions ? It looks like the validator is using a different engine then the content complete. e.g. function { display:block; background-color:#EEEEFF; color:black; white-space:pre-line; ERROR HERE white-space-collapse:preserve-breaks; ERROR HERE margin-left: 1em; border-bottom-style:solid; margin-top:0; } Engine name: W3C CSS Validator (CSS3) Severity: error Description: Context : function in property : white-space pre-line is not a white-space value : pre-line Start location: 21:0 Engine name: W3C CSS Validator (CSS3) Severity: error Description: Context : function in property : white-space-collapse Property white-space-collapse doesn't exist : preserve-breaks Start location: 22:0 ---------------------------------------- David A.

Problems with XQuery indentation.
by David Lee 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

I'm having two problems with xquery editor indentation that I suspect are in some option somewhere but can't find them. 1) Tab size and spaces Can I set the Tab key to use Spaces and specify how many ? e.g. make Tab use 2 space characters. 2) Matching indentation of {} When I declare a function the closing } doesn't auto-match the indentation of the opening }, and to make it worse when I use Enter it does indent ... which makes it harder. e.g. Typing declare function local:test()<ENTER> {<ENTER> <TAB>foo()<ENTER> } Leaves me with declare function local:test() { foo() } ---> Indented here Maybe a minor point but when I see Oxygen matching to the open { why wont it match the indentation? Is there a way to get it to ? Thanks for any hints ---------------------------------------- David A. Lee dlee(a)calldei.com<mailto:dlee@calldei.com> http://www.xmlsh.org

Module name in errors with MarkLogic
by David Lee 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

When using an XQuery transformation against MarkLogic where the main module imports a module, if I get an error in the imported module the error printed by Oxygen does not report this. It reports the line number but no indication that the line refers to an imported module or which one. I know this information is available because I can get the full information including a stack traceback when using MarkLogic's CQ or query console. Any suggestions on how to get this info in Oxygen ? If not I'd like to suggest it as a feature for V(N+1) ---------------------------------------- David A. Lee dlee(a)calldei.com<mailto:dlee@calldei.com> http://www.xmlsh.org

Re: [oXygen-user] Learning Xml structure for XSLT authoring
by Adrian Buza 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

Hello Wendell and Karl, Wendell, If we decide to implement a solution that adds a performance penalty or clutters the interface, I can assure you that an option will be available to turn that feature off. Additionally there is another idea to provide content completion in XSLT from the associated DTD/schema(if one is available) of the XML file. Something similar could be used to implement your proposal("XSLT's content completion could aggregate the XML files it sees there"), a schema could be created dynamically from the XML files(similar to the Tools > Generate/Convert Schema) and that schema could be used for CC. BTW Wendell, I believe you have accidentally sent the reply only to me without CC-ing to the list. Karl, We could use an Oxygen PI in the XSL content to associate an XML with the stylesheet, similar to the association of a stylesheet with the XML. e.g. <?oxygen type="text/xml" href="myfile.xml"?> I've logged all your suggestions and the improvements of this feature will be discussed internally.

Learning Xml structure for XSLT authoring
by Karl Stubsjoen 10 Feb '12

10 Feb '12

I realize that if I setup a transformation scenario between the XSLT and the Xml then when authoring the XSLT I get intellisense on the Xml source but only if I create a transformation scenario where the XSLT is used as the document to build a scenario from. So what if I create a transformation scenario and I use my source Xml as the starting point (typical for me)? I don't get the intellisense when in the stylesheet. Besides the above, is there another way for the Xslt to learn the Xml source? Thanks, Karl.. -- Karl Stubsjoen MeetScoresOnline.com (602) 845-0006
