Variable names stops working
by Jostein Austvik Jacobsen 06 Aug '11

06 Aug '11

I'm having some (really weird) trouble, and unfortunately I'm unable to reproduce it on other computers, but here's a short pipeline: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <p:pipeline xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc" version="1.0"> <p:variable name="daisy-dir" select="'daisy-dir'"/> <p:variable name="other-dir" select="'other-dir'"/> <p:add-attribute match="/*" attribute-name="daisy-dir"> <p:with-option name="attribute-value" select="$daisy-dir"/> <p:input port="source"> <p:inline> <doc/> </p:inline> </p:input> </p:add-attribute> <p:add-attribute match="/*" attribute-name="other-dir"> <p:with-option name="attribute-value" select="$other-dir"/> </p:add-attribute> </p:pipeline> You'd expect to get: <doc daisy-dir="daisy-dir" other-dir="other-dir"/> But on my computer with <oXygen/> XML Editor 12.2, build 2011051714 on Ubuntu 11.04, I get: <doc daisy-dir="" other-dir="other-dir"/> This only happens in oXygen on my Ubuntu though, not if I run calabash from the command line in Ubuntu or oXygen in Windows; so I don't know how to reproduce the problem on other computers. If I rename the variable from "daisy-dir" to something else, it works. So for some reason, the oXygen installation is ignoring variables that are called "daisy-dir" all of a sudden... I changed it to "input-dir" and it worked for a while, but after a few minutes, oXygen started ignoring variables with that name as well. Doing a "find | xargs grep -i daisy 2>/dev/null" in the oxygen directory gives no relevant hits, so I'm not sure how to debug this further... Is there any logfiles I can provide? I have a hunch that it may have to do with variables and options having the same name across files/steps (example below), and how that's stored internally in either oxygen or calabash, but I'm really not sure. I do this in the pipeline I'm trying to run, but when the option name stops working - it stops working in all pipelines. <p:variable name="input-dir" select="'something'"/> ... <p:with-option name="input-dir" select="$input-dir"/> Regards Jostein

Re: [oXygen-user] oXygen Author-mode document comparison plugin
by Michael Anthony Smith 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

Thanks for your feed back concerning the Beta release (1.0.b8) of our comparison plugin, it has enabled some minor bugs to be fixed. For more detail please refer to the release notes (http://www.deltaxml.com/oxygen-plugin/current/docs/release-notes.html) Version 1.0.1 of DeltaXML's oXygen plugin is now available from our web-site (http://www.deltaxml.com/products/oxygen-plugin/features.html) This plugin shows the changes between any two versions of a document as oXygen 'tracked changes'. Please use oXygen's Author mode to view, accept and reject the changes. In addition, the plugin provides both a DITA and DocBook comparison mode for generating results with DITA and DocBook revision markup. Future releases of this plugin will also provide an oXygen track-changed output option for the DITA and DocBook specific comparison modes. We have had some requests for the plugin functionality to be available in CMS systems, we are therefore planning to release an API product which will generate track-changes output and be accessible for API or scripted use. Finally, for those of you that experimented with the Beta release, it is worth noting that the plugin now tracks changes within CDATA sections and comments.

Hi, I was just reading about it in the docs, but it never activates for me (the lightbulb does not appear). Searched preferences and didn't find a toggle. I've tried meta-alt-1 too. Oxygen 12.2 on OS X 10.7. Thanks, Shannon (Shiflett(a)virginia.edu) http://www.facebook.com/uvapress http://www.twitter.com/uvapress

Image Preloader
by Mark 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

I have been using Oxygen for many years to create files. Normally, I create a windows batch file and call FOP from there. My current problem is that I am using images for the first time. My external FOP complains that it cannot fins an ImagePreloader. I tried looking at the FOP lists and quite frankly did not understand how to install and use their ImagePreloader framework. So this means a shift in my work habits. I think I can put together a FOP scenario within my Oxygen 12.2 workspace, but I am unsure how I would invoke (if indeed Oxygen has one) an ImagePreloader Any suggestions on where to look for help? Thanks, Mark

Encoding problems on OS X

12.2 build 2011062910 OS X 10.6.8 I have a simple file CatalogManager.properties, as follows: #If true, a missing CatalogManager.properties file or missing #properties within that file will not generate warning messages. xml.catalog.ignoreMissing = true The lines are newline delimited. 0000000 23 49 66 20 74 72 75 65 2c 20 61 20 6d 69 73 73 0000010 69 6e 67 20 43 61 74 61 6c 6f 67 4d 61 6e 61 67 0000020 65 72 2e 70 72 6f 70 65 72 74 69 65 73 20 66 69 0000030 6c 65 20 6f 72 20 6d 69 73 73 69 6e 67 20 0a 23 0000040 70 72 6f 70 65 72 74 69 65 73 20 77 69 74 68 69 0000050 6e 20 74 68 61 74 20 66 69 6c 65 20 77 69 6c 6c 0000060 20 6e 6f 74 20 67 65 6e 65 72 61 74 65 20 77 61 0000070 72 6e 69 6e 67 20 6d 65 73 73 61 67 65 73 2e 0a 0000080 78 6d 6c 2e 63 61 74 61 6c 6f 67 2e 69 67 6e 6f 0000090 72 65 4d 69 73 73 69 6e 67 20 3d 20 74 72 75 65 00000a0 0a The default Encoding in Preferences is as follows: Encoding for non XML files MacRoman UTF-8 BOM handling Keep Encoding errors handling REPORT If I set these to Encoding for non XML files UTF-8 UTF-8 BOM handling Don't write Encoding errors handling REPORT I get an encoding error on reading the file. If I ignore the encoding error, I get Kanji-style text. When I restore the defaults, it reads OK. I restarted Oxygen, and I was still seeing the problem. When I tried to do it again to get a screen grab for this message, it was OK, and I now cannot reproduce the problem. Anyone else seen this problem? Peter West "How can these things be?"

oXygen Author-mode document comparison plugin
by Michael Anthony Smith 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

We have developed an oXygen plugin that shows the changes between any two versions of a document as oXygen 'tracked changes', which is available for evaluation download from http://www.deltaxml.com/products/oxygen-plugin/download.html. Please use oXygen's Author mode to view, accept and reject the changes. We are looking for feedback from anyone using oXygen, who might find such a plugin useful, say to author structured documents. If you use DITA, this plugin can also create a DITA topic with status and rev attributes inserted to show the changes between two versions of your topic. Similarly, if you use DocBook, this plugin can create a DocBook document with revisionflag attributes inserted to show the changes between two versions of your document. The DeltaXML oXygen Plugin provides authors of structured documents with that essential 'compare documents' feature found in ordinary word-processors. We are in final beta stages and would appreciate any comments from oXygen users on this mailing list - please download an evaluation version and we look forward to hearing your feedback. Please feel free to provide feedback via this mailing-list, to me directly, or the plugin's own support forum (http://www.deltaxml.com/forum/index/14) Thanks for your help, Anthony -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Anthony Smith, DeltaXML Ltd "Change control for XML" T: +44 1684 578751 E: anthony.smith(a)deltaxml.com http://www.deltaxml.com Registered in England 02528681 Reg.

What Determines the view selected when you move to an editor window?
by Eliot Kimber 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

Using Oxygen 12.2, if I have two editor windows open with a number of views docked in the same tab group, if for example I select the Outline view in Editor 1, switch to Editor 2, and then come back to Editor 1, the Attribute view is now selected in Editor 1, not the Outline view I had before. Is there a way to predict or control which view will be presented by default? In my case, I would normally want the Outline view to be presented by default.

To: Radu Coravu and oXygen User ML Study Subject The use of the openContent element in the schema below was part of trying to determine how XHTML5 and XML could work together.
