Thanks George. Found it. And now the error message is gone. /Roger -----Original Message----- From: oXygen-user <oxygen-user-bounces(a)oxygenxml.com> On Behalf Of George Bina Sent: Sunday, January 22, 2023 11:50 AM To: oxygen-user(a)oxygenxml.com Subject: [EXT] Re: [oXygen-user] The Oxygen editor says there is an error in my XQuery Update file but there is no error when I run it from the command line Hi Roger, Please note the full path to the options page: XML / XSLT-XQuery / XQuery / *Saxon-HE/PE/EE* Your screenshot is from the *XQuery* parent page. If you expand the XQuery entry from the left navigation pane you should find "Saxon-HE/PE/EE", that is the target page that contains that option. A trick is to also type in the filter box (top left text input in the Options dialog) what you want to find, for example "XQuery update" and that will get your the pages that contain that text, in this particular case it will show 3 Options pages * Editor / Content Completion / Code Templates * XML / XSLT-XQuery / XQuery / Saxon-HE/PE/EE * Menu Shortcut Keys The second being the one you want.

The Oxygen editor says there is an error in my XQuery Update file but there is no error when I run it from the command line
by Roger L Costello 22 Jan '23

22 Jan '23

I have a simple XQuery Update file: [cid:image001.png@01D92E34.704F90E0] Notice the error message. However, when I run the XQuery Update from a command line using Saxon, I get no errors. So why is the Oxygen editor saying there is an error? /Roger

[ANN] Webinar: What's new in Oxygen XML Web Author 25.0 (January 25)
by Alin Belu 19 Jan '23

19 Jan '23

Hello, Next Wednesday, on the *25th of January*, we invite you to a live presentation of the newest features that came along with the release of version 25.0 of the Oxygen XML Web Author! During the *What's new in **Oxygen XML Web Author 25.0 webinar*, Bogdan Dumitru (senior software developer at Syncro Soft) will show you some of the features related to DITA Map files editing, as well as other general enhancements that will improve your editing experience, regardless of the edited document type. And we won't be stopping there, because you'll also witness firsthand a Git workflow demonstration that allows Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to contribute content in a Git repository without having to solve conflicts and without them having to learn and remember DITA details or a specific topics structure. SMEs will seamlessly concurrently edit all the DITA topics by opening just the DITA Map that shows all topics expanded, also having the possibility to easily get around, sort topics, and add new ones. Here are some features that will be presented during this event: * Conflict-free Git workflow with concurrent editing for SMEs with no DITA knowledge required * How to insert new DITA topics with inline actions * How to navigate and edit a DITA Map with Outline pane * The Smart Paste improvements * The new actions from the Floating Toolbar This is a free event but registration is required. You can register at https://oxygenxml.com/evs2023-2.html To stay in touch with us and discover what other events we have planned for you, please make sure to check https://www.oxygenxml.com/events_programme.html Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor

DITA Reusable Components list (Keys tab) does not update
by Frank Dissinger 19 Jan '23

19 Jan '23

Hi list, I am used to edit ditamaps with key definitions using Notepad++. Having done so, I do not know how to update the list of keys in the DITA Reusable Components window. I can reindex the information on the Components tab, but there is no reindexing function for the Keys tab and pressing F5 does not have any effect. What can I do other than editing the key definitions in oXygen?

CSS validation warnings
by Frank Dissinger 18 Jan '23

18 Jan '23

Hi list, I keep getting the following CSS validation errors for my "custom.css" file in oXygen V25: * Unknown pseudo-element or pseudo-class “:no-tags” * Negative values are not allowed: -0.5em /(padding)/ * Property “margin-inline-start” doesn't exist : 0 This is annoying because the "Results" window keeps popping up whenever I save a dita file. How can I tell oXygen to ignore these elements/properties/values? I can't find the required settings under "Options > Preferences > CSS Validator".

Going from FrameMaker to oXygen
by Frank Dissinger 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

Hi Chris, Thank you again for your reply (on the DITA Users List). I haven't had the time to read it in full detail and try out some of the suggestions until now. * /Selecting just the opening tag and pressing Enter will allow you to change the element from one type to another./ How would you select just the opening tag? If I do that in Author mode, the opening and closing tag with everything in between gets selected. When I then press Enter, I can surround the tag with another. In Text mode, the tag gets deleted when I press Enter. * /We have a "Show Page Width" alternative CSS style that helps writers visualize page width, as a guide to table and figure sizing./ Would you mind sharing this style with me? Thank you.
