Oxygen 11 installed, builds now failing
by Steve Matlock 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

I just installed Oxygen 11 and now my builds are failing. They were working with Oxygen 10 on this PC. Here is the error messages as I can discern them: [java] Warning: at xsl:stylesheet on line 39 column 61 of i18n-postprocess.xsl: [java] Running an XSLT 1.0 stylesheet with an XSLT 2.0 processor C:\Program Files (x86)\Oxygen XML Editor 11\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\demo\fo\build.xml:306: The following error occurred while executing this line: [[[there are several lines like this, followed by this entry:]]] C:\Program Files (x86)\Oxygen XML Editor 11\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\demo\fo\build.xml:475: Java returned: 1

Docbook 5 Author mode: way to add indexterm elements?
by Robert Nagle 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

I have been using Author XML for months now to make a docbook book. Really loving it. It's very powerful and makes me productive. However, I am surprised to find that there's not a Docbook toolbar button or context menu option to create an indexterm element. An indexterm is necessary to build a decent index for your book. http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/indexterm.singular.html usually it looks like this: <indexterm> <primary>Abraham Lincoln </primary> <secondary>Gettysburg Address </secondary> </indexterm> I am having to drop out of Author mode into XML mode to add <indexterm> every two paragraphs or so. Am I missing this feature or is it something which the developers just haven't gotten around to yet? Thanks. Robert Nagle

better validation of Schematron schema
by Lars Huttar 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

Hi, My request here does not have to do with validating an XML document against a Schematron schema, but rather, finding out whether Schematron schema itself is valid. I'm pleased with Oxygen's support for Schematron, including ISO Schematron. Oxygen really has excellent coverage of XML-related tools. However I have the following enhancement request. When I'm editing a schema foo.sch in oXygen, I can press Ctrl+Shift+V and it does something, and says "Document is valid." I guess it's validating the schema against an RNG schema for Schematron? I don't know. What I do know is that its validation is not as complete as the validation for XSLT stylesheets. It helpfully validates the presence of elements and attributes that are dis/allowed in Schematron (old and ISO versions); but it does not validate the XPath in test expressions. Just now I had an assert whose test attribute's value was not well-formed XPath: <sch:assert test="../../row1/thing[@id = current()/transform[@type = 'From']/target/@id"> Note that I'm missing a final square-bracket in the test expression. Yet Oxygen tells me the Schematron schema is valid. It was only when I tried to *use* the Schematron schema that it told me about the missing ']'. And at this point it's quite a bit harder to debug, because often you're using a manually-constructed pipeline where you have an XSLT transforming your Schematron schema to another XSLT, and then the latter is used to validate your XML document. So you have to sort through several layers to figure out where the problem is. So my request is for stronger validation for Schematron schemas. I'm not sure of the best way to accomplish this... Maybe Oxygen could go ahead and transform the schema to an XSLT using e.g. iso_svrl.xsl and iso_schematron_skeleton.xsl (in the case of ISO Schematron); then validate the result as an XSLT stylesheet. This should take care of the above problem, malformed XPath expressions. It may not be straightforward to map any errors back to a particular point in the original schema, but at least we'd know whether the schema was valid or not, and we'd be better off than we are now, catching errors while editing the schema instead of when using the schema. Thanks for your consideration, Lars

code template for identity transform
by Lars Huttar 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Dear Oxygen folks, I often find the need to insert an identity transform template into an XSLT stylesheet I'm writing, but I don't always remember the correct XPath for the match pattern and the apply-templates/@select, and it's a nuisance to have to keep looking it up. A few times I've created a code template in Oxygen for it, but it keeps disappearing as I upgrade Oxygen. Would you consider adding this code template to the built-in list for the XSL editor? It seems like it would be useful to a lot of XSL developers. Name: id Description: Identity transform. Associate with: XSL Editor. Content:  <xsl:template match="@* | node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> No doubt you can tweak the content if there is a more approved variation on the above. Thanks for your consideration, Lars

Display of xref (DITA)
by Yan Périard 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

Hi, Is there a way to make Oxygen Author in Eclipse display the xrefs/links target titles in the author view instead of the link from the href? Sample DITA XML <concept id="id" xml:lang="en-us"> <title>A Title</title> <shortdesc>A shortdesc</shortdesc> <conbody> An xref not rendered (No content in the element) <xref href="ame1273503188699.xml"/> Followed by a rellink (no content in the element) </conbody> <related-links> <link href="ame1273503188699.xml"/> </related-links> </concept> Thanks Yan Périard

XSLT output root element force namespaces and attributes sequence
by Martijn Van der Graaff 26 May '10

26 May '10

Hi I need to generate a root element in a output file that contains some attributes and namespaces. It should like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <enfinity xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.2.2/xcs/impex catalog.xsd http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.1/core/impex-dt dt.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.2.2/xcs/impex" xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" xmlns:dt="http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.1/core/impex-dt" major="6" minor="1" family="enfinity" branch="enterprise" build="6.3.1.2.5"> what I get is this: <enfinity xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.2.2/xcs/impex" xmlns:dt="http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.1/core/impex-dt" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.1/xcs/impex catalog.xsd http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.1/core/impex-dt dt.xsd" major="6" minor="1" family="enfinity" branch="enterprise" build="6.3.1.2.5"> How can I force in XSLT that (xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace") is always added to the root element and how can I force on where the attributes are sorted. My xslt snippet is: <xsl:template match="/"... <xsl:element name="enfinity" namespace="http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.2.2/xcs/impex"> <xsl:attribute name="xsi:schemaLocation">http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.1/xcs/impex catalog.xsd http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.1/core/impex-dt dt.xsd</xsl:attribute> <xsl:namespace name="xsi">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance</xsl:namespace> <xsl:namespace name="">http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.2.2/xcs/impex</xsl:namespace> <xsl:namespace name="xml">http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace</xsl:namespace> <xsl:namespace name="dt">http://www.intershop.com/xml/ns/enfinity/6.1/core/impex-dt</xsl:namespace> <xsl:attribute name="major" select="$major"/> <xsl:attribute name="minor" select="$minor"/> <xsl:attribute name="family" select="$family"/> <xsl:attribute name="branch" select="$branch"/> <xsl:attribute name="build" select="$build"/> Yours, Martijn

I'm getting this problem when I try to open my workspace. "Tree element '/hardware_help/hardware.ditamap' not found." The file is clearly there and completely healthy and valid. What might this mean otherwise? As a secondary question, how compatible are Oxygen versions with each other? Wendy Loreti Senior Technical Writer Vocollect, Inc. 703 Rodi Rd.

What is the shortcut key for find ahead (I think that is what it is called). The find feature responds to your keystrokes and quickly jumps forward in the document highlight the first found result.
