External task pause and run again
by Karl Stubsjoen 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

I have an external task, it calls a console application which has a readline pause (interrupting the process). Well, from a traditional console I simply hit the enter key to continue. How can I continue process with an external task like this in Oxygen? -- Karl Stubsjoen MeetScoresOnline.com (602) 845-0006

by George Cristian Bina 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

Hi, I am pleased to announce that a new version of oXygen is available from our website http://www.oxygenxml.com For the complete list of new features and details please see http://www.oxygenxml.com/index.html#new-version We have an @oxygenxml user on Twitter so you may want to follow that for oXygen related updates http://twitter.com/oxygenxml We plan to have that more active in the future. I also just set up a few hours ago a Facebook page for oXygen: http://www.facebook.com/pages/oXygen-XML-Editor/107247659293674 Until now 17 people registered as oXygen fans, including me :) oXygen was one of the sponsors at XML Prague last week. I had there a presentation on schema-aware editing, and participated in a panel on XML editing tools. If you did not attend the conference you should be able to watch the recordings of the sessions soon, when they will be posted on the conference website http://www.xmlprague.cz/2010/index.html We plan to be a sponsor also at Balisage this year and to exhibit at the DITA Europe conference. We plan also to have a number of online meetings to present some of the oXygen features. It will be great if you can send us feeback on what topics you would find useful to be included in these presentations.

document nodes as external parameters
by Lee, David 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

I'm trying to run an XQuery with 2 external parameters expected as document-node(). declare variable $common:annotations as document-node() external ; declare variable $common:patterns as document-node() external ; When I put in a value in the external parameters in the transformation , it forces a quote around them Put in: doc('file://...') Turns into 'doc(file://... <file:///\\...> )' And I get runtime exceptions about a string being passed where a document-node() is expected. Is there any way to pass document nodes directly (not by name) to XQuery within Oxygen ? ---------------------------------------- David A.

Smart paste in oXygen 12.1: Cannot validate <{...org/1999/xhtml}html>: no element declaration available
by Yves Barbion 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

Hi group I have just installed oXygen XML Editor 12.1 and I'm testing the "smart paste" feature. This is what I do: 1. Create a new topic. 2. Copy a section from a topic on our website: http://www.scripto.nu/index.php?q=en/node/71 3. Put my cursor in the <body> element in oXygen and try to paste the copied section. I'm getting the following error message: Cannot validate <{...org/1999/xhtml}html>: no element declaration availableµ I get the same result when I try to paste a single paragraph. Any ideas? Thanks. -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu

"Job well done!" messages
by Wendell Piez 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

Hi, Of course, the usual thing with XML processors when validating has been to give error messages for syntax or validation errors, but to be coyly silent when no errors are found. The user is left to infer that everything is good based on the fact that there are no complaints. oXygen improves this state of affairs by having a little box that lights up green when a document is valid, plus a line that says (with admirable clarity) "Document is valid". However, some users wish for more. They'd like a trumpet fanfare or something analogous. (Wouldn't we all?) In particular, I have some users who have asked if they can have their Schematron tell them when there are no errors. I have explained that they will probably have to be content with the green light, and I don't think this is too much to ask of them. But I am also wondering whether oXygen might have hooks somewhere that could be used to pop up an alert box or something, with a congratulatory message of some kind. (This is a case, of course, when having an explicit Schematron report test when "not($a or $b or $c)" won't work, since the number of tests is in the double or triple digits.) What are the ramifications here and what would it take for these users to get what they want? If this were all done inside a processing pipeline I could Schematron the results of my Schematron to run the test; but it's not; nor do they want it to be since of course they like the fact that their error messages have live links back to the documents. I am imagining some kind of facility that could be associated, for example, with a validation scenario.

Possible to Graft Catalog Support to Trang Within Oxygen?
by Eliot Kimber 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Trang as integrated with Oxygen is not catalog aware, which is a bit annoying when you want to generate XSDs from DITA map and topic types, which are all about the catalogs. Is it technically possible for Oxygen to add catalog support to Trang? Having that would be really really handy.

which Schematron processor?
by Syd Bauman 27 Dec '10

27 Dec '10

I'm guessing that if I check the "Use Saxon EE (schema aware) for xslt2 query binding - If checked, Saxon EE will be used for xslt2 query binding." box in the "ISO Schematron" section of the XML / XML Parser preferences page, then oXygen will use Saxon EE to validate my documents against an ISO Schematron schema that uses xslt2 query binding. But what does oXygen use as an ISO Schematron validator if I *don't* check that box? (The documentation under the Help menu doesn't say.) As I side note, I'm asking because I'm getting warnings from the validation that I thought might really be indicative of a processor- specific problem, rather than a Schematron schema or validation error. Probatron does not complain, but oXygen warns that "The attribute axis starting at an attribute node will never select anything" and that "The child axis starting at an attribute node will never select anything". The rule that generates the complaint is <rule context="tei:*/@*"> ... </rule> So I'm guessing that the processor tried to convert this to some generic XSLT that included a match pattern that would never fire. So I tried switching processors to Saxon EE, but that just added an error to the warnings: "Cannot validate <TEI>: no element declaration available". It took a Google search to find out that setting oXygen to use Saxon's -vlax switch is how to deal with that. (Found http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/topic4460.html.)

Oxygen - Cached/Paging XML with/without Backup/AutoSave
by McDonald, Shaun 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Hello All, Recently, an Oxygen Author user has been experiencing rather large chunks of XML data being removed from documents on save. Aside from troubleshooting this particular issue, a larger issue arose given a particular scenario. Let's say the following parameters are in place: 1. Half our users are on Win XP, the other Win 7, 2. Half us Author v11.2, the other v12, 3. Windows Paging file initial and max values vary. SCENARIO 1. User checks out an XML file from a CMS repository (via an Oxygen Author plug-in) and edits the document, but 2. User gets interrupted with an unrelated task requiring one or more other apps. * The app(s) use a large amount of memory and write to Windows temp, 3. Memory is overtaxed and the Paging File is written to. 4. User returns to Author to check in the XML. Obviously, we have validation gates to reject ill-formed/invalid XML. But, theoretically, we would like to know exactly what might be checked in given the scenario, and 1. Memory and paging are maxed out already when a user makes an edit to some other document, and 1. Oxygen Backup and Automatic Save Preferences are off, 2. Backup Preferences are on, 3. Automatic Save is on and set to a low value 4. Both 2 and 3 are on. Thanks, Shaun

Networked Frameworks
by McDonald, Shaun 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Hi, Are there any performance costs to networking a single framework for multiple users? Say, 10-20 users might simultaneously open disparate files that invoke the same DTA rule. This would be networked via Active Directory to Windows machines. Thanks, Shaun
