Preventing oXygen XML Author/Editor from overwriting commonltr.css?
by Yves Barbion 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Hi group I generate XHTML from my ditamap. In this process, the commonltr.css file in the OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\resource\ folder gets copied to the output directory. However, I'd like to use a customized commonltr.css file in the output folder, but keep the original commonltr.css file in the OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\resource\ folder. Is there an elegant way to do this? When I regenerate output, I see that the commonltr.css file in the output folder is overwritten. Thanks. -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu

Oxygen 12: Schema Editor
by Eliot Kimber 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

The schema editor always opens in the Design view, but I prefer the text view. I didn't see an option to control which view schemas are opened in by default.

New Templates Dialog Not Quite Working Right
by Eliot Kimber 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

I have about 7 custom template directories configured. When I pull up the new File->New dialog and navigate down into the Global Templates node, I get lots of blank space in the display and only some of my templates are showing up. Likewise, trying to filter doesn't seem to work. So something is definitely confusing the new template mechanism. However, I think I prefer the old flat list. But then I specifically named all my templates so they would group together in the list, making it quick to find a specific template.

Where are the transform scenarios stored?
by Steve Matlock 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

I am currently using Oxygen 11.x on my PC. I need to swap out my hard drive & get a new one. I have a few dozen transform scenarios I've defined. I'd hate to have to re-define them all again when I get my new hard drive & re-install Oxygen. So, I'd like to back them up. There might be an obvious answer, but I haven't found it yet. Any help?

Catalogs and XQuery import statement
by Florent Georges 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Hi, It seems catalogs are not used to resolve URIs of XQuery library modules in the editor. I use the catalog element URI and have tried both the XQuery library target namespace URI and the location hint. Did I miss something, or is it not possible? Regards, -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/

XPath from Project context menu
by Wendell Piez 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Hi, One of the features I use most in oXygen is, of course, the XPath evaluation toolbar. Another is the context menus in projects, for validating files or sets of files (against their own or ad-hoc schemas), transforming them and what not. I can't believe I've worked all this time without wanting to query XPath over a file set directly from the Project View. But actually I have. It's just that I usually write a little XQuery or Schematron, or work through the Find/Replace in Files dialogue, or find another way to get to the data I want. Each of these has strengths and weaknesses. But I bet it wouldn't be difficult for the oXygen magicians to give me a little entry box right-clicking a selection in the Project View, where I could type my XPath directly ... or am I missing something?

Oxygen kicks me out of Author mode because of URL problem?
by Robert Nagle 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Hi, I'm having a really annoying problem with XML Author 12 Beta.. It sometimes has problems keeping me in Author mode because of an inability to resolve a URL in my xincluded files. (It's a docbook 5 project). In the example below, it wouldn't let me use the Bold toolbar button because of this. Here's the Couldn't execute operation: 'ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.SurroundWithFragmentOperation' for action: 'Bold' because of: Could not surround in fragment. Cause: The host did not accept the connection within timeout of 20000 ms (http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/iso8879/isopub.ent) The top of my xinclude file has this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE book [ <!ENTITY % isopub SYSTEM "http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/iso8879/isopub.ent"> %isopub; ]> <chapter xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="5.0" xml:id="sharing-files "> I'm using this reference to be able to reference entities like – etc in my docbook files. 2 interesting things: 1)I can easily access this http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/iso8879/isopub.ent from my browser. 2)I actually have a local version of this isopub.ent in my file. (In fact, it's news to me that I am required to seek a external URL at all). So: 1)What would I need to do so that Oxygen will look for the local file rather than seeking it on the Net? 2)Why do you think this problem is occurring? Thanks for your help. -- Robert Nagle htpt://www.robertnagle.info

Oxygen kicks me out of Author mode because of URL problem?
by Robert Nagle 24 Aug '10

Well, the Author mode seems to work again when I used the bold tab. Strange. (I have received this error message several times, so the problem seems intermittent to me). rj -- Robert Nagle 12777 Ashford Point Dr #1417 Houston, Texas 77082 713 893 3424 htpt://www.robertnagle.info
