Hi group When I've checked the spelling of a topic, the Spelling dialog says "Finished". Then, I add/edit some text in this topic, and I want to check the spelling again, but the Spelling dialog still says "Finished". How can I check the spelling of that topic again? Cheers -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu

Author Component: * Author Component Integration Author for DITA: * Reusable component * Add/remove content reference attribute to/from existing elements * Speed improvements when opening large DITA maps Author (Visual Editing) Mode: * Improvement in Outline view * Workspace access plugin * Format and indent only the modified content Author API: * Update the Outline view * Customize the Outline view * Customize the Breadcrumb * Update the status bar Text Editing Mode: * Improved handling of large documents * Improved the opening of documents with very long lines * Support for XQuery 1.1 transformations * Hexa viewer * New spell checker * Customizable font styles for syntax highlighting XSLT Debugger: * Debug XPath expressions Plugins API: * Mark resource read-only * Open Redirect plugin SVN Client: * Faster working copy load time * Automatic refresh of the working copy * More responsive repository browsing * Better handling for obstructed resources * Print or save as image a revision graph Component Updates: * Update DITA Open Toolkit * Update Saxon 9 Processor * Update the Libxml and Libxslt Libraries * Update TEI P5 framework * Update CSS Validator Details... Author Component ------------------------------------ * Author Component Integration An Author page component can be integrated in your Java application or applet. All features available for editing in the Oxygen XML Editor Author page are also available in the Author component. See demonstration and more details here: http://www.oxygenxml.com/demo/AuthorDemoApplet/author-component-dita.html Author for DITA ----------------------------------- * Reusable component A fragment of a topic can be extracted in a separate file for reuse in different topics. The component can be reused by inserting an element with a conref attribute where the content of the component is needed. * Add/remove content reference attribute to/from existing elements The DITA framework includes actions for adding, editing and removing a content reference (conref, conkeyref, conrefend attributes) to/from an existing element. * Speed improvements when opening large DITA maps When a map contains a large number of topic references now the map is opened three times faster in the DITA Maps Manager view. Author (Visual Editing) Mode ------------------------------------------------ * Improvement in Outline view The start of the content of an inline child element is displayed both in that element and in the parent element in the Outline view. The parent element may remain collapsed in the Outline view which makes the document navigation faster. * Workspace access plugin A new type of plugin was added. This plugin provides support for customizing the menus, toolbars and views of the application and for opening and closing documents. It is active in both Text mode and Author mode of all opened documents. * Format and indent only the modified content When saving files in the Author page only the modified XML elements are formatted. In this way you have fewer differences between the original file content and the saved one. Author API ------------------------------ New classes in Author API * Update the Outline view The current selection can be accessed and set in the Outline view from custom extensions of an Author framework. * Customize the Outline view The popup menu and the displaying and filtering of the tree nodes can be customized in the Outline view with an extension of an Author framework. * Customize the breadcrumb The text displayed in the node list of the Breadcrumb and the popup menu of the Breadcrumb can be customized with an extension of an Author framework. * Update the status bar The user can be notified about the status or the success of operations by updating the Oxygen status bar. This is usually preferable to displaying a dialog box. Text Editing Mode ------------------------------------- * Improved handling of large documents The support for large documents has been improved. Now the opening and editing of large documents is faster with or without line wrap enabled. * Improved the opening of documents with very long lines oXygen can now open documents with very long lines by using automatic line wrapping. However, only the basic editing features are available, while others are disabled: automatic spell checking and automatic validation, XPath from Find/Replace, etc. * Support for XQuery 1.1 transformations Saxon 9 EE which is bundled with Oxygen can run transformations with XQuery 1.1 files. * Hexa viewer This version of Oxygen includes a hexa viewer for viewing the bytes of each character of a document. * New spell checker Hunspell is now used for spell checking of edited documents in both Author editor and Text editor. The old spell checking engine AZ Check is also an available alternative. * Customizable font styles for syntax highlighting A font style(bold/italic) and a background color can be set for any token(tag, text, etc) that is displayed in an editor in Text mode. XSLT Debugger --------------------------------- * Debug XPath expressions Now the XSLT Debugger is capable to step into XSLT functions called from XPath 2.0 expressions when using the bundled Saxon-HE/PE/EE XSLT processor. Plugins API ------------------------------- * Mark resource read-only A resource opened with a custom protocol plugin can be marked as read-only. It can be used when opening resources from a CMS (content management system). * Open Redirect plugin This type of plugin is useful for opening more than one file with only one open action. For example when a zip archive or an ODF file or an OOXML file is opened in the Archive Browser view the plugin can decide to open also a file from the archive in a new XML editor panel, like the document.xml main file from an OOXML file archive. SVN Client ------------------------------ * Faster working copy load time A working copy is cached, so when it is loaded next time in the Working Copy view, the operation will be much faster than in the previous versions of Syncro SVN Client. * Automatic refresh of the working copy The working copy is automatically refreshed every time Syncro SVN Client gains focus, if changes are detected in the file system. This is done in order to update the state of the resources modified by external applications. * More responsive repository browsing You can configure the repository connections timeout and stop non-responsive repository browsing operations. * Better handling for obstructed resources Operations correctly take into account obstructed resources. * Print or save as image a revision graph Generated revision graphs can be printed or saved as images. Component Updates ------------------------------------- * Update DITA Open Toolkit DITA Open Toolkit was updated to version 1.5.1 M1. It includes a speed improvement implemented by caching the grammar pool used for transforming DITA files. * Update Saxon 9 Processor The Saxon 9 XSLT/XQuery processor was updated to version 9.2.0.6. * Update the Libxml and Libxslt Libraries The Libxml library was updated to version 2.7.6. The Libxslt library was updated to version 1.1.26. * Update TEI P5 framework The TEI P5 schemas were updated to version 1.6.0. The TEI XSL stylesheets were updated to version 5.20. * Update CSS Validator The W3C CSS Validator was updated to version 2.0. As always, your comments and suggestions are appreciated. Best regards, Oxygen Development Team

Custom engine: passing environment variables
by Florent Georges 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

Hi, I try to add a custom XQuery engine that relies on a shell script to be launched. This script in turn does expect one environment variable to be set. Unfirtunately, this variable does not seem to be set. I tried to set it in /etc/launchd.conf and in oxygenMac.sh, with no success. I use Mac OS X Snow Leopard, with oXygen 11.1, and I use Spotlight to launch oXygen. Did I miss something? Regards, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/

Dear all, I imported the Code Template I created to my colleague's computer, but the usual 'Control - Apple - Space bar' does not bring the registered special letter up. The version I want to make it work is Oxygen 7.1 on Mac. If anybody knows how to make the Code Template work on Oxygen 7.1 on Mac, please let me know. Thanks for your help. Best, Tak

xProc/Upgrade Calabash?
by Markus Flatscher 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

How tightly is Calabash integrated with oXygen? I tried to get Calabash 0.9.19 to work from within oXygen; naively dropping the jar file lib/xproc/calabash obviously doesn't work, but neither does creating a new XProc engine instance under /Preferences/XML/XProc/XProc engines that points to a clean 0.9.19 installation. Is there a straightforward way to update Calabash on the user's end?

stylesheet documentation -- what language?
by Syd Bauman 01 Mar '10

01 Mar '10

My apologies if this has already been mentioned and I didn't notice. I have recently started using oXygen's documentation feature to generate HTML documentation for my XSLT stylesheets. I just went to find out something about a stylesheet, and looked at the documentation in my browser rather than opening the stylesheet. To my horror, I could not figure out if it was written in XSLT 1 or XSLT 2. It would be nice if somewhere near the top of the documentation there was an indication of the language the stylesheet is written in (currently only XSLT 1.0, 2.0, I guess, but there will be other possibilities in the future). Perhaps another box in the "main file" collapsible area would do the trick. Could also mention reliance on extension functions there, maybe? I'm currently using oXygen 11.1 (build 2009122213 on Mac OS X, but I doubt any of this matters).

new here...with a DocBook question
by André Wyrwa 01 Mar '10

01 Mar '10

Hei, my name's Andre and i just joined the list. I'm currently using a trial of oXygen Editor (the eclipse plugin installed in Aptana Studio) and am planning to buy the product. I'm primarily using the Author at this stage as a DocBook IDE. I'm not quite happy with the results of the transformation to PDF, particularly around Image scaling and general DocBook support. Image scaling: It seems the PDF transformation always scales images. That seems somewhat logical. However, i'm writing software documentation with a lot of screenshots. Other PDF exporter processes (like the one in OOo) manage to translate the screenshot's pixel size into a print unit (mm/pc/in) that matches the original image size more adequately. In the DocBook case, the stylesheet seems to make the images somewhat too large. Also, i couldn't find a way to limit the width of the scaled image to a maximum, but keep lower images at their original scale. Can anyone please help me with that? Tag support: It seems the transformation is a little incomplete/doesn't support some DocBook tags. Particularly, i have some 'task's in there that don't seem to translate into the PDF (they plain disappear including all their descendants). I'm using Apache FOP for FO processing and from what i gather that might be the problem. I'm running Linux and am happy to install xmlroff, if someone can confirm it helps. However, xmlroff seems incomplete, as well. Is there any 'complete' FO processor that would be the recommended choice? What are others using for DocBook to PDF transformations? Should i go via LaTeX instead? Lastly, i installed docbook2odf and setup a new transformation profile within oXygen that uses the docbook2odf stylesheets. Which at first sight seems to do the right thing, but when i try opening the resulting .odm (??) file in OpenOffice, the good thing throws me the ascii import dialog and i subsequently get the plain XML code in Writer. Thanks for any help or pointers, upfront. Andre.

XSLT doc: function signatures menu
by Florent Georges 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hi, Still about the oXygen documentation system for XSLT, the generated function summary (in the left-hand side panel) looks like: http://fgeorges.org/tmp/oxygen-doc-summary.png. In order to improve its readability, I'd like to suggest two changes: 1/ put no withespace in front of a function name, but put one in front of continuation lines (if the signatures continue on several lines) and 2/ do not put the param types in the signatures (anyway there is no overload on types). So instead of (as in the screenshot): gdata:auth-sub-session-token($token as xs:string) gdata:authenticate-login($service as xs:string, $email as xs:string, $pwd as xs:string) have instead: gdata:auth-sub-session-token($token) gdata:authenticate-login($service, $email, $pwd) Regards, -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/

Sections in XSLT documentation
by Florent Georges 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

Hi, Is there any way to document sections in a stylesheet, using oXygen XSLT documentation format? By section, I mean something like the following: <xd:doc scope="stylesheet"> <xd:desc><xd:p>Global stylesheet doc.</xd:p></xd:desc> </xd:doc> <xd:doc scope="section"> <xd:desc><xd:p>Utilities.</xd:p></xd:desc> </xd:doc> ... some components, with their doc ... <xd:doc scope="section"> <xd:desc><xd:p>Main templates.</xd:p></xd:desc> </xd:doc> ... some components, with their doc ... <xd:doc scope="section"> <xd:desc><xd:p>Additional mode.</xd:p></xd:desc> </xd:doc> ... some components, with their doc ... in order to generate doc with the following structure: Global stylesheet doc. 1. Utilities. ... 2. Main templates. ... 3. Additional mode. ... I have looked in the documentation (I mean the oXygen doc), but haven't found anything. Regards, -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/
