Plugin access to frameworks and catalogs
by Nigel Whitaker 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

Hello, We're developing a workspace plugin which reads form either existing editors or on-disk files. We're using all the catalogs in the standard 12.0 release using this rather brute-force approach: <configProperty name="cat_dita" value="${install.dir}/../../../frameworks/dita/catalog.xml" /> <configProperty name="cat_docbook" value="${install.dir}/../../../frameworks/docbook/catalog.xml" /> ... <configProperty name="cat_xmlspec" value="${install.dir}/../../../frameworks/xmlspec/catalog.xml" /> <configProperty name="xml.catalog.files" value="${cat_dita};${cat_docbook};...${cat_xmlspec}" /> However, we dont know about any user defined frameworks. Is there a way of knowing the framework associations of editors/files so that we could use the specific catalog file (also reducing the possibility of conflicts between the catalogs). Alternatively access to a URI/Entity resolver appropriate for the type of file which we could use when parsing (xerces) may be useful. We know about XMLUtilAccess and its resolvePathThroughCatalogs method, but we'd like something we can use with the resolver/xerces directly. We've also seen some references to a 'grammarCache' object but are unsure how to use it. Is there something we can use to improve our catalog handling.

Can't uninstall/reinstall Eclipse plugin
by Ted Kuster 29 Oct '10

29 Oct '10

I need to reinstall Oxygen Author 12, in Eclipse 3.5.2 on Ubuntu 10.4. I have completely cleaned any traces of Oxygen from my Eclipse installation --a file search reveals no files with any form of the string "oxygen" anywhere in the file system. I have restarted Eclipse with the -clean option. No Oxygen-related options or settings are available anywhere in the Eclipse UI. However, when I try to use Help > Install New Software to install Oxygen, Eclipse refuses on the grounds that Oxygen is already installed. What am I doing wrong? -- Ted Kuster help.collab.net

GUI change request
by Shannon 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

Hi, please consider giving the user the option to hide the Text/Grid/Author controls to increase available space to the editor. I often use a tiny screen on a notebook and have configured a minimal layout--no toolbars or panels whatsoever--; since I never change the view, I'd like to get rid of those buttons too. Thanks, Shannon

Error: Invalid authority
by Shannon 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hello, I searched the site and mailing list archive for this error with no results. In the XML Databases perspective, the Data Source Explorer panel returns, "Error: Invalid authority" when I attempt to explore by expanding any one of the Connections, after briefly showing, "Pending…"--these are the same Connections that execute successfully in every other perspective for transforming, querying, and debugging. The Database Source is type MarkLogic. Running Oxygen 11.2 on OS X 10.6.4. Please let me know if you need more information, or what I am doing wrong, thanks, Shannon

Trouble validating SVG document
by Reaves, Timothy 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

I have an SVG document where the openeing SVG element is: <svg version="1.0" xmlns:x="&ns_extend;" xmlns:i="&ns_ai;" xmlns:graph="&ns_graphs;" xmlns="&ns_svg;" xmlns:xlink="&ns_xlink;" width="497.611" height="591.554" viewBox="0 0 497.611 591.554" style="overflow:visible;enable-background:new 0 0 497.611 591.554;" xml:space="preserve"> Validation fails on each of the xmlns attributes. This should be valid. The errors look like: SystemID: /home/bv6679/Development/images/HSVG/99571_97YA_17.svg Engine name: Xerces Severity: error Description: Attribute "xmlns:x" must be declared for element type "svg". Start location: 29:21 End location: 29:42 Any ideas?

Re: [oXygen-user] Trouble validating SVG document

Hi Tim, W3C describes the content of a <svg> document in a schema-independent way. From what I know there are also XML Schemas which can be used to validate SVG files. Indeed the usual way to validate a SVG file is by using the DTDs but DTD as a grammar specification is not namespace aware and understands constructs like "xmlns:x" as usual attributes.

The entity "nbsp" was referenced, but not declared
by Yves Barbion 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Hi group I know this topic has been discussed before, so I'm sorry to bother you with this again. I've got non-breaking spaces in my topics (&nbsp) and when I generate XHTML output with oXygen XML Author, my build fails and I get the message: "The entity "nbsp" was referenced, but not declared." I get a "build successful" with oXygen XML Editor though, so I must have fixed it there in some way, but I cannot remember how anymore. I also searched the archives, but to no avail. Can someone please refresh my memory? Thanks. -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu

Transform Scenarios for Archives
by Eliot Kimber 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

I have packaged my Word-to-DITA process as a Toolkit plugin. The input to this process is a DOCX file. My first instinct was to use Oxygen to apply the Toolkit to the DOCX file by setting up a transformation scenario, but then I saw that the Archive Browser doesn't provide its own transformation scenario option. Is it sensible for it to provide transformation scenarios? If it id, it would probably make sense to provide the option of controlling the unzipping of the archive. In my case the Ant process will do the unzipping, but it could be convenient to have Oxygen handle it.

Toggle perspectives layout in 1 click
by Yves Barbion 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

Hi group I've got two "perspective layouts": - One for the tech writer with tags shown and the relevant panels and toolbars open - One for the SME with tags hidden and only the DITA Maps Manager and the Elements and Attributes panels open. When I want to select the other perspectives layout, I have to do this in Options > Preferences, and then also click the Full Tags/No Tags button. Is there a way to do both actions in 1 click? It would be nice to have a button (or a keybord shortcut) to switch between my layouts. Cheers -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu
