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?

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

Oxygen with saxon, using com.saxonica.Validate
by Casey Jordan 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

This might be a little outside the realm of oxygen's expertise, but does anyone know how to use saxon bundled with oxygen to output the content model of a DITA schema? I have tried running things like: java -cp "path to saxon" com.saxonica.Validate -scmout -s:"path-to-schema" Thanks, Casey -- -- Casey Jordan Jorsek Software LLC.

Strange XProc/Oxygen Issue
by Betty Harvey 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

I have an XProc script (copied below) that works on oXygen on my Laptop. When I tried running the script on my desktop computer I get the following error: "SystemID: C:\Projects\NARA\Arc-to-ACE\allRecords\1\test.xpl Engine name: Calabash XProc Severity: error Description: XD0006 : 0 documents appear on the 'source' port. If sequence is not specified, or has the value false, then it is a dynamic error unless exactly one document appears on the declared port.

Empty the Calabash's cache
by Florent Georges 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

Hi, The source port of an XProc pipeline is connected to a file on the file system: <p:input port="source"> <p:document href="input.xml"/> </p:input> I run the pipeline with the built-in scenario "Self XProc, no input no output". If I modify input.xml and run the piepline again, the changes are not picked up. A feature of Calabash is to cache all inputs in memory (I think). So I guess the same processor is kept in memory by oXygen, but I think oXygen should empty the Calabash's cache between two runs of the pipeline (or get rid of the processor and instantiate it again if this is not possible). Besides, this pipeline loops over a lot of files, so that means they are kept in memory "for ever" (as long as oXygen itself is alive). Regards, -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/

Schema translator tool: from XSD to *
by Florent Georges 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

Hi, Is there any reason why the oXygen's schema translator tool does not support translation from an XSD schema? I used to use rngconv from the command line, but it would be nice to have it integrated within oXygen. But maybe that's because of a licence issue, I don't know.

mystery: content-height validation problem with XEP
by Robert Nagle 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi, I have a weird problem and am flummoxed. I have oxygen 11.2 + xep + docbook 5. Up until now I've had no problem rendering it with the XEP engine. Settings are right, The docbook project validates according to Oxygen. However, if I try to do the usual transform to make a PDF from XEP, I get this enigmatic error without producing a PDF. Started: "C:\Program Files (x86)\XEP\xep.bat" -fo "I:\My Documents\work-related\myproject\index.xml_xslt" -pdf "I:\My Documents\work-related\myproject\myproject.pdf" (document [system-id file:/I:/My Documents/work-related/myproject/index.xml_xslt] (validate [error] Attribute 'content-height' cannot have a value of "px". [validation total: 1 error] Parse error: Invalid XSL FO source 'file:/I:/My Documents/work-related/myproject/index.xml_xslt': 1 error found during validation Process ended with exit code: 0 I have no idea what's going on. I understand that it's talking about FO (I sort of understand what it is). To my knowledge I have not specified content-height anywhere in the xinclude files or the customization layer. I cannot find px anywhere. The PDF generates successfully if I switch the rendering engine to Apache FO, but that does not help. My customization layer is pretty basic (see below), and I have not changed anything recently. I realize I have not given you a lot of information here, but can you guess where the problem lies or how to solve it? I get the sense that the problem may lie with my images in my source xml, but I just don't know. Any guesses? Thanks.... (I have a deadline for Monday, so any guess would be appreciated). <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" version="1.0"> <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/1.75.2/fo/docbook.xsl" /> <xsl:param name="xep.extensions" select="1"></xsl:param> <xsl:param name="preferred.mediaobject.role">fo</xsl:param> <xsl:param name="insert.xref.page.number">yes</xsl:param> <xsl:param name="page.height">23.4cm</xsl:param> <xsl:param name="page.width">15.6cm</xsl:param> <xsl:param name="page.margin.inner">1.91cm</xsl:param> <xsl:param name="page.margin.outer">1.27cm</xsl:param> </xsl:stylesheet> -- Robert Nagle

Focus is not changes when I open already opened file
by Jirka Kosek 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

Hi, I'm suing oXygen 11.2. When I open file (File -> Open) which is already opened, nothing happens. My recollection is that older version of oXygen moved focus to that file in this case. Is there some new parameter to control this behaviour which I have missed, or it is permanent degression?
