scenario shows "access is denied" error; new scenario fixes it; why?
by Robert Nagle 24 Aug '09

I am sure that the application has write permissions for that directory. (Because as I said, most of the time, it is able to work just fine). Maybe there is a lock on a file by Oxygen or Windows Explorer. . What is > the full path that is obtained from the relative path from the error > message? I:\My Documents\xml\rj3\output\OEBPS it's in user space. Does the folder output/OEBPS exist or must be created by the > transformer? I am not 100% sure, but I think I created the OEBPS folder originally. Update: I just tested again without the OEBPS folder existing, and it created it again. If it exists what are the write permissions for that > folder? permissions for the OEBPS folder for Authenticated Users are modify/read/execute/list folder contents/read/write Does the current Windows user have write permission for that folder? As I said, I feel pretty sure that there is something about Oxygen that causes this to happen (because if I create the same transformation from scratch, I can usually get past the Access problem). I have stopped and restarted Oxygen when this state occurs. I have NOT found that starting the program will solve the problem. The only solution is creating a new but identical transformation. For example, I just now created a new project consisting of the same assets. the first time i ran the epub transform for docbook, things went fine. The second time (15 seconds later, without any changes!), I ran it again, with the same error message. It's an intermittent error and I can't find a situation that always reproduces it. But once it happens, the only way to resolve it is to create a new transformation. I created a new transform with the same exact stylesheet, and things worked fine. The only slightly weird thing about my project is that I'm having to re-generate a xsl file from a docbook template (outside of the project). But that shouldn't have an effect on what's happening. Another thing. When comparing the xpr files from the original project with the one I just created with the same files, I notice that the first xpr file contains a lot of info about transforms, whereas the second xpr does NOT contain any references to transforms. But the error message has occurred for both projects. I know this problem must have you scratching your heads.... One of my reasons for mentioning it here is to help any Oxygen user with the same problem.

Automatic Update to Catalog List?
by Eliot Kimber 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

I have development projects that use catalogs to map unresolvable URLs for XSLT components to local locations. I of course add those catalogs manually. It occurs to me that it would be useful for other developers on these projects if I could automate the addition of the catalogs to Oxygen (e.g., via an Ant task). Is there an easy way to do this?

Re: [oXygen-user] removing xmlns:saxon attributes in output?
by Robert Nagle 19 Aug '09

Ok, the problem turned out to be unrelated to oxygen or docbook. I was using Firefox's firebug plugin to examine the code and css. I didn't realize that the html source shown by Firebug does not correspond exactly to the actual source. In this case, the code I copied came from the firebug debug window.

docbook + xincludes + xref? removing xmlns:saxon attributes in output?
by Robert Nagle 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Hi, I have two problems with my chunked HTML output on a docbook 5 project. PROBLEM 1 If your project uses xincludes with docbook, is Oxygen supposed to validate the xref links? I just tried my first xref link and am getting validation errors for xml files containing xrefs even though the XSL for html chunking/epub chunking runs fine. (i.e., I can see the hyperlink in the html output). Only Oxgen gives a validation error. In er1.xml (which is a chapter) I have this line <para> See also <xref linkend="interlude1"/></para> In i1.xml (which is a chapter) , I have this <chapter xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0" xml:id="interlude1"> <title>Interlude Essay 1 <author> <personname>Robert Nagle</personname> </author> </title> <para> ..... </chapter> SystemID: I:\My Documents\xml\rj3\er1.xml Engine name: oNVDL Severity: error Description: IDREF "interlude1" without matching ID Start location: 253:49 PROBLEM 2. I'm trying to figure out why the html output for chunked html files looks like this (see below). First, why is there a reference to saxon here? How do I turn this off? (Does Oxygen or docbook use some parameter that is causing this to appear? Any guess why it would make every paragraph an aref with an id which corresponds with the xml:id of the chapter element? <p> <a id="interlude1" xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon">"You have nothing to worry about."</a> </p> Thanks for your help.

Speaking of help... I downloaded and installed 10.3 on my WinXP Pro machine the other day and discovered that the formatting in the online help files has gone, well, wild... Really big fonts of random sizes everywhere. Unfortunately, even though I'm one to boost fonts, these fonts are way too big to do any onscreen reading. Is this a glitch or a known problem?

Problem with Oxygen creating html help
by Jan Nylund 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

Hello! A college is having some issues in creating chm files from oxygen with using the DITA Scenarios. He's running oXygen 10.3 on Windows Vista Ultimate. When creating a scenario and converting, it fails on not finding the hhc.exe file in "C:\Program Files\Help Workshop\hhc.exe". This is completely correct, as hhc is located in "C:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop\hhc.exe". The wrong path is automatically included by oXygen when running a dita transformation if the transtype is set to htmlhelp. The end of the call to dita-ot contains "-DHTMLHelpCompiler=C:\Program Files\Help Workshop\hhc.exe". DITA-OT throws an error message that it's not possible to reassign an already set property. hhc.dir is correctly set but HTMLHelpCompiler is overridden by the parameter from oxygen. I can't find the reason for this parameter being added, so it would be nice if you can tell me where to start looking. Br, Jan -- Jan Nylund Senior System Designer Citec Information Oy Ab

adding catalog entries in Oxygen
by Robert Nagle 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Ok, problem solved (mostly), more information and a lingering question. Voila! I noticed that the 1.7.5.2 xsl package I downloaded already includes a catalog.xml file http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/1.75.2/catalog.xml So all I really need to do is link Oxygen's preferences to that specific catalog.xml file on my local machine. So, really, all I need to do is go to Preferences --> XML --> XML Catalog --> NEW Xml catalog --> Browse to catalog.xml in local xsl root (file:/I:/My%20Documents/xml/docbook-xsl-1.75.2/catalog.xml). When I right-click the href value and click Open File at Caret, it opens in the frameworks directory (not the path I gave it) to the default xsl file (which is 1.7.5.1). Humpf! If I change the xsl: import to <xsl:import href=" http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/1.75.2/epub/docbook.xsl"/> and do the same thing, the correct file opens up in my editor. Horray! Although I've solved the problem, why didn't it work the first time? The catalog.xml file for the 1.7.5.1 looks pretty similar to the 1.7.5.2 one (although I noticed the absolute path for 1.7.5.2 is http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/ but for 1.7.5.1 it's http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/current/ Any idea? Thanks. Robert ....................................................................... Hello, You should add the XML catalog of DocBook XSL 1.75.2 on the first position in the list of XML catalogs of the DocBook doctype that is available in Preferences -> Document Type Association. If you are a content author (you are not allowed to edit the document type) you have to duplicate the DocBook 4 or DocBook 5 document type and add I:\My Documents\xml\docbook-xsl-1.75.2\catalog.xml on the Catalogs tab of the dialog for editing the document type: http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/dg-complex-customization-tutorial.ht… If your catalog is on the first position it will be parsed before the built-in catalog of Oxygen. You can check that the XML catalog is used by right click on the href value of <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/docbook.xsl"/> and run the action Open File at Caret. The action should open the stylesheet from I:\My Documents\xml\docbook-xsl-1.75.2. Regards, Sorin

DITA-OT & Oxygen
by John Fitzpatrick 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

I've created a two-pane XHTML publishing output using DITA-OT 1.4.3. This XHTML Knowledgebase has a search facility and JavaScript collapsible TOC, both of which were implemented using custom plugins to the vanilla DITA-OT v1.4.3. I'd like to be able to use this output format alongside our other outputs from Oxygen. To publish my output I have to run the following within a DOS shell ant -f my_build_file.xml Oxygen runs transformations as follows "c:\program files\oxygen xml editor 10.3\jre/bin/java" -Xmx256m -classpath "C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor 10.3/tools/ant/lib/ant-launcher.jar" etc ... ... ... 1) Can I my 'ant' scripts directly with oXygen's version of DITA-OT? 2) Do I need to change my build file to be run using Java at command line? 3) How do I integrate custom build files with oXygen? 4) Can I integrate plugins into the DITA-OT version that's shipped with oXygen? Thanks John

adding catalog entries in Oxygen
by Robert Nagle 06 Aug '09

I'm having a tough time understanding the process for adding to the catalog. I am trying to make oxygen default to the 1.7.5.2 Docbook version (which was released a few weeks ago). I want to keep a local version available on my Windows machine. I understand that I need to add something to the catalog, but where? First, I see C:\Program Files (x86)\Oxygen XML Editor 10\frameworks\docbook\xsl\catalog.xml has this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog">  <rewriteURI uriStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/current/" rewritePrefix="./"/> <rewriteSystem systemIdStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/current/" rewritePrefix="./"/> <rewriteURI uriStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/1.75.1/" rewritePrefix="./"/> <rewriteSystem systemIdStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/1.75.1/" rewritePrefix="./"/> </catalog> I'm not 100% sure, how I'd edit this file. Oxygen tells me that this file isn't editable (because it's under Program Files, not user space). Would the appropriate syntax be something like this: <rewriteURI uriStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/1.75.2/" rewritePrefix="I:\My Documents\xml\docbook-xsl-1.75.2\"/> <rewriteSystem systemIdStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/1.75.2/" rewritePrefix="I:\My Documents\xml\docbook-xsl-1.75.2\"/> If I created an identical catalog.xml in my user folder (I:\My Documents\xml\docbook-xsl-1.75.2\) but switched out 1.7.5.2 for 1.7.5.1, would that be right? Then Options --> Preferences --> XML Catalog --> Add new catalog --> browse for this new catalog.xml is there an easy way for me to verify that the new local version of xsl file is actually being used? If I just declare I<xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/docbook.xsl"/> in my stylesheet, would that be enough (while taking slight hits on performance while the file is being downloaded). Thanks. Robert Nagle
