Schematron validation of documents using XInclude succeeds when it should fail.
by Danny MacMillan 12 May '23

12 May '23

Hello, I'm going through the Schematron book by Erik Siegel and one of his examples improperly passes validation in Oxygen XML while it correctly fails validation using SchXslt. The code for the book is here: [https://github.com/xatapult/schematron-book-code](https://github.com/xatapu… I open both examples/additional-features/subdocuments-1.sch and data/subdocuments-master.xml from that project in Oxygen and select the tab with the XML file. Then I click the dropdown on the Validation button on the toolbar and click Validate with... and then I select the subdocuments-1.sch file using the dropdown. When I proceed Oxygen says it passes. This is the same approach I have used for all other examples in the book. But I created an explicit validation scenario for this also and it behaves the same way. Note that if you want to test this you should clone the repository because the subdocuments-master.xml file incorporates other files in the repository by reference using XInclude and this is indeed what seems not to be working in Oxygen. By contrast if I run the same validation using the schxslt-cli.jar I get the following, expected result. [invalid] /home/user/task/schematron-book-code/data/subdocuments-master.xml [invalid] /home/user/task/schematron-book-code/data/subdocuments-master.xml failed-assert /Q{}document[1]/Q{}p[1] The class brightred is forbidden (file:/home/user/task/schematron-book-code/data/subdocuments-2.xml)! I am using the latest Oxygen: <oXygen/> XML Editor 25.1, build 2023042509 Thanks, -- Danny MacMillan Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/) secure email.

[ANN] Boost your productivity with the new Oxygen AI Positron Assistant plugin!
by Alin Belu 03 May '23

03 May '23

Hello everyone, In the recent months, AI technology reached a point where it became useful in many real life scenarios. However, the AI generated content is not 100% accurate, which makes this technology difficult to deploy directly to end users that expect to only receive correct information. On the other hand, users who understand that AI-generated content is only a starting point, a hint, or a suggestion, and that they are in control of the final form, will experience an increase in productivity because the AI generated content will speed up many of their tasks. The new *Oxygen AI Positron Assistant* plugin provides the bridge between AI and Oxygen users, helping them access AI-enabled tools to speed up content creation. The plugin contributes helper actions that can be used to *generate content*: * You can start typing a phrase and use the *Continue writing* action to get a suggestion for continuing the phrase. * You can write instructions for content that you want to be generated and use the powerful and flexible *Follow instructions* action to add the generated content in the document. A group of *translation actions* will try to preserve the XML markup structure while translating the content to *French*, *German*, *Japanese*, or *English*. To obtain *overview* information, you can use an action to *summarize* the selected content or to get *readability* suggestions. *DITA Topic Tools* actions allow you to perform DITA-aware tasks, such as: * Automatically create the *short description* for a topic, summarizing its content. * Generate *index terms* in the prolog section of a topic by analyzing the topic content and extracting relevant terms. * Turn a phrase that enumerates some options into a list with the *Itemize* action. * Flatten a list into content that enumerates the options from the list with the *Join Items* action. * *Generate a new DITA topic* from a title or a short description by expanding the content. * Replace content with a version that*improves its readability*. The Oxygen AI Positron Assistant plugin contributes its actions to the main menu, contextual menu, and in the *AI Positron Assistant* view. When invoking an action, you can monitor its progress and see the results in the *AI Positron Activity* view. To enable the AI features, you need to connect the plugin to the *Oxygen AI Positron* service platform that now uses the Open AI API to access models like Chat GPT, GPT-4, etc. The initial release of the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant plugin is currently in an experimental phase, enabling users to perform up to 250 actions per month, but we expect to provide subscription options in the near future. We anticipate releasing new features and updates often, so please share your feedback about the current version and stay tuned for exciting new versions of this plugin. For additional information on the *Oxygen AI Positron Assistant* plugin, including the installation instructions, you can check out the following article written by Radu Coravu for the Oxygen XML Blog: https://blog.oxygenxml.com/topics/ai_positron.html Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor

Improve the schema that gets created with Tools -> Generate/Convert Schema
by Danny MacMillan 20 Apr '23

20 Apr '23

Hello, I work with a third party application that produces a large number of XML files. The third party does not make a schema for these files available to me. All I can do is use Oxygen to infer a schema by pointing it at a population of these files. I need to read and manipulate the XML files in Kotlin code. I have been using Tools -> Generate/Convert Schema to create a schema, then processing that schema with JAXB as you ordinarily would. The schemas that Oxygen produces are completely reasonable, but there are some things I'd like to change. In one case I have an element named 'de' that occurs twice. The Generate/Convert Schema tool assumes (or seems to) that these elements describe the same kind of data and it merges their definitions. In fact though, the elements represent entirely different kinds of data. There's no overlap of attributes between the 'de' elements in the first place and the 'de' elements in the second place. So Oxygen doesn't mark any of the attributes as required, when in fact, they're all required in their proper context. The schema also uses anonymous complex types for each element and I'd rather it used named types. I can and will have to edit the schema Oxygen creates to take care of a few things, but I'd like to minimize the amount of manual editing I have to do, because I'll have to repeat this process in the future as the third party software version increases and/or I have to deal with new XML files created from different environments that happen to include elements I haven't yet encountered. What affordances are there for customizing the behaviour of the generate schema tool? The dialog box doesn't have much on it. Alternately, are there other tools I could use to post-process the schema in an automated fashion to get it closer to what I want? I see there's a flatten schema feature but it didn't do much other than re-order the attributes. Thanks, -- Danny MacMillan

[ANN] Webinar: Interactive Tutorials in Oxygen (April 26, 2023)
by Alin Belu 20 Apr '23

20 Apr '23

Hello, On the *26th of April*, we invite you to join us for the latest Oxygen XML live event - the *Interactive Tutorials in Oxygen* webinar! As you surely know by now, a traditional tutorial implies a set of written instructions that the users must follow. Well, Oxygen takes the concept one step further! With our *Live Tutorials add-on*, the tutorial is embedded within the application itself. The samples for each step are opened automatically, hints are available on request, and the application detects when a mission is complete (in this case, a mission consists of the initial file content that is opened in the application and a set of steps for guidance). For 1 hour, Sorin Carbunaru (senior software developer at Syncro Soft) will explore in detail the Live Tutorials add-on, by covering the following topics from which you will benefit greatly: * The built-in DITA interactive tutorials. * How to create new tutorials and journeys. This is a free event but registration is required. You can register at https://oxygenxml.com/evs2023-6.html To stay in touch with us and discover what other events we have planned for you, please make sure to check https://www.oxygenxml.com/events_programme.html Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor

XProc and paged media: AHFormatter complains about missing XSL Stylesheet
by Frank Steimke 14 Apr '23

14 Apr '23

Dear List, with the help from this list (Thanks Tony!) i was able to build a XProc Transformation Scenario, running in Oxygen, which converts DocBook to PDF via XSL-FO and the p:xsl-formatter step. Now i'd like to do the same with CSS (paged media). Using the xslTNG Stylesheets (recent Version 2.1.2) i get an HTML Document. The Antenna House Formatter (version 7.2) reads it without anly problems and produces PDF as expected when called as a standalone app with GUI. It does not work, however, when called as a step within the XProc Pipeline. The essential Part is like this: ``` <p:xslt> <p:input port="stylesheet"> <p:document href="xsltng/docbook-xslTNG-2.1.2/xslt/print.xsl"/> </p:input> <p:input port="parameters"> <p:empty/> </p:input> </p:xslt> <p:xsl-formatter href="tdd.pdf" content-type="application/pdf"/> ``` This throws an exception: jp.co.antenna.XfoJavaCtl.XfoException: No XSL Stylesheet is specified. Two questions arise: - Which XSL Stylesheet is missing? No transformation on the input document is necessary. - How would I specify a stylesheet? The p:xsl-formatter Step from XProc 1.0 hs no input port for a stylesheet. Thanks in advance, Frank Steimke

Understanding @colsep and @rowsep
by Frank Dissinger 13 Apr '23

13 Apr '23

Hi all, Can someone shed some light on how the *@colsep* and*@rowsep* attributes are used for CALS tables? The information I found is not clear and detailed enough for me. I understand that these attributes create separator lines for colums and rows. Do I only need these attributes when I do not set *@frame="all"* to create lines for particular rows or columns only? For a normal CALS table with lines for all rows and columns (i.e. like a grid), is enough to set *@frame="all"* or do I additionally need these attributes? The code that Oxygen creates (see below) with these settings (i.e. without these attributes) ... does not have these *@colsep* and*@rowsep* attributes, only *@frame="all"*, and is rendered as desired with my CHM and PDF transformations. I have several tables with *@colsep*/*@rowsep="0" *or*="1"*. These attributes may have been added by FrameMaker when I converted unstructured content to DITA. Can I safely remove all of these attributes when I just want a CALS table with row and line separators every (like a grid)?
