Oxygen 11: Creating Key Definitions
by ekimber 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

I didn't see any specific UI for creating key definitions. I had expected to see either a "keys" field in the main "Edit topic reference" dialog or a separate "Insert key definition" option on the context menu/dita map menu that currently provides the "insert topicref", "insert topichead", "insert topic group" options. I don't think anything more than a single field is needed, although a list control might be more appropriate since the the value of "keys" is a blank-delimited list of keys.

Dear oXygen team, Is there any news about adding custom editor variables (that is, letting the user to define its own editor variable), as discussed in the following thread? http://www.oxygenxml.com/pipermail/oxygen-user/2008-October/002031.html Best regards, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/

request: resolve entity refs in err msgs
by Syd Bauman 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

[Apologies if this is a repeat -- I haven't done a good search of the archives, etc.] I often use "<" and ">" to indicate that a word is the name of an XML element type. I even do this in diagnostic and error messages. E.g.: <xsl:message>I found a <duck> element</xsl:message> In oXygen, the message that is output to the Messages tab has the less than and greater than escaped as entity references: [Saxon6.5.5] I found a <duck> element. Same is true for messages generated from Schematron validation. I realize that at one point in life those messages were in XML documents (e.g., SVRL), but I'd really like to *see* pointy brackets. Is there or could there be an option to display these as characters instead of entity references? Thanks for listening.

how to pass parameters to the stylesheet in oXygen
by Manuel Souto Pico 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

Good morning! I need to pass some parameters to a stylesheet. I can do that on the command line, but it would be very handy to do in oXygen's XSLT debugger. Is it possible to do that? $ java -jar saxon9.jar lang=en,fr,pt file.xml stylesheet.xsl > output.xml My stylesheet contains the line <xsl:param name="lang" /> It would be also fine, for testing purposes, to include already in the stylesheet or the input xml file. Thanks a lot! Manuel

How to Recover from Attempt to Open Large XML File
by ekimber 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

I attempted to open a 20Meg file (an exported iTunes library). Even after setting the VM to 2014M, Oxygen effectively locks up trying to open the file. Since it's restoring its state on startup, there's no obvious way to break the cycle. How do I break the cycle?

XRef Selection Dialog Doesn't Offer Current Doc as an Option
by ekimber 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

When I create a DITA xref using the insert-xref button, the target chooser dialog does not offer the current document as one of the options in the file pulldown list. It should always offer the current doc as an option, even if it defaults to the last document selected.

Failing build with excluded topics
by Loreti, Wendy 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

I'm not sure why this is occurring: I have a few topics excluded by a ditaval file, and now, when I build, it's causing a java.io.FileNotFoundException: [xslt] [DOTX031E][ERROR]: The file file:///C:/p4_perforce1666_WLORETI/redbird/ide/main/com.vocollect.voiceb uilder.help.dita/temp/../../voice-app-schema.xml is not available to resolve link information. Either the file could not be found, or a DITAVAL file was used to remove the file's contents. Be aware that the path information above may not match the link in your topic. Check to make sure the file exists and DITAVAL file isn't used to remove the contents of the file.The location of this problem was at (File = C:\p4_perforce1666_WLORETI\redbird\ide\main\com.vocollect.voicebuilder.h elp.dita\voicebuilder.ditamap, Element = topicref:6) Wendy Loreti Senior Technical Writer Vocollect, Inc. 703 Rodi Rd.

Re: [oXygen-user] scenario shows "access is denied" error; new scenario fixes it; why?
by Robert Nagle 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

I do not have any zipping application open while this is happening. In fact, I'm pretty sure no other application has these files open except for Oxygen (at least to my knowledge) except for the Firefox browser (and occasionally I have Windows Explorer open to the output directory). In my opinion, what is happening is definitely the result of Oxygen doing something weird on my machine. Now that I know how to deal with it, it doesn't bother/scare me. It just seems weird. rj Robert Nagle > > Message: 2 > Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2009 10:30:07 +0300 > From: Sorin Ristache <sorin(a)oxygenxml.com> > Subject: Re: [oXygen-user] scenario shows "access is denied" error; > new scenario fixes it; why? > To: oxygen-user(a)oxygenxml.com > Message-ID: <4A9392FF.4090607(a)oxygenxml.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > Oxygen does not lock the output files of the transformation. > > Maybe the zip application locks the files.

scenario shows "access is denied" error; new scenario fixes it; why?
by Robert Nagle 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

I'm not sure what I'm asking here, so bear with me. I don't think the problem is related to my xml project but Oxygen itself. I'm processing a docbook 5 file with xincludes, a customization layer, a title.xsl. I'm using 1.7.5.2 to use the epub output. I'm using oxygen to generate the html output which I will then manually zip into an epub file. I've created a custom transform scenario to use a custom xsl (which references the epub/docbook.xsl file and includes a few parameters). This probably is not relevant. I have to specify the location of a directory for the epub output using a parameter. The project validates, and most of the time everything works fine. But sometimes I get a cryptic error message "access is denied". I get this message even if I have made no changes to any of the source. Sometimes deleting the output files will "fix" the problem. A few days ago I discovered that creating a new scenario entirely from scratch for my scenario will fix the problem. That leads me to believe that there is something wrong with the .xpr file itself. Why does this sort of thing occur and how can I prevent it? Is the solution simply to create a brand new project and add your source to it again? I'm on Vista 64. Thanks.
