Feature Request: Allow Insertion of Inline Markup Within CDATA Marked Sections in Author Mode
by Eliot Kimber 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

This may not be either doable or worth the effort, but in doing markup samples for DTD documentation, I've started using CDATA marked sections to hold the examples and then breaking them to insert pairs around parts of the example, e.g.: <pre> <![CDATA[<sometag> <more-markup> ]]><![CDATA[<this-is-bold/>]]<![CDATA[ </more-markup> </sometag>]]> </pre> In theory it should be possible for the editor to automatically adjust the marked section markup to allow the real markup within what was a single CDATA marked section. At the moment I have to bounce in and out of Author mode in order to adjust the highlighting in my examples. Not a big deal but it could be more convenient.

Problem generating XML document from schema
by Bradley, Peter 20 Feb '08

20 Feb '08

Hi, I'm involved in writing an application that will obtain data from and send data to the UK Student Loan Company via a Web service that is planned to be available shortly. The necessary schema information is contained in the Database Schema and Database Types xsd files available from: http://www.ucisa.ac.uk/groups/cisg/misgdocs/HEICourseDatabase I've downloaded the files and opened them in <oXygen/>. In order to get an idea of the kind of document I will need to be able to write into and generate from our database, I have tried to generate a sample XML file. With the HEICourseDatabaseSchema.xsd file open in <oXygen/> I do Tools --> Generate Sample XML Files ... In the dialog, I browse to the HEICourseDatabaseSchema.xsd file, for the URL. I then try to set a document root, but the Document root drop down list is empty. The HEICourseDatabaseTypes.xsd file is in the same directory as the HEICourseDatabaseSchema.xsd file and should therefore be available, so it's not that. Can anyone point out to me the obvious point that I'm missing, please? I've never had trouble generating sample files before, so I just don't see what I'm doing wrong. Many thanks Peter

xinclude
by Boojum 20 Feb '08

20 Feb '08

Posted this to the forum, too. Sorry for the dupe. I'm learning OxygenXML's 9.1 support for Xinclude. I have two files, with one pointing by means of Xinclude to the other - no Xpointer, just want the contents of the entire second file. Validation succeeds with no errors, so I assume that the Xinclude is correct. Next--how can I view the resulting document, with the contents of the second file displayed in the first? Must I perform a transformation to see the results, or is there some other way?

Hedley, Unfortunately the list of "all possible XPaths to a text file" is infinite in many cases, due to the possibility of recursive structures such as nested div or section elements, lists inside lists, or inline elements that may have arbitrary inline elements in their content. Do you really want a path such as "/doc/body/div/div/div/div/list/item/list/item/list/item/p/figure/caption/p/b/i/mono/i/b" even such a path points to an element that could be valid? I think Dan is right that the requirement needs some refinement.

What do you mean by "write a list of all >possible absolute Xpaths to a text file." Rephrasing my original request: I am developing a CSS implementation for [instance documents that conform to] an XML schema. It would really help to check if all [required CSS class matches] have been covered if I could find a utility that would scan a DTD (including *.mod inclusions) or XML Schema to write a list of all absolute -- not including wildcards -- [Xpaths from the root element to each possible leaf element] ... to a text file. For example, using a possible path from a DITA DTD: /reference/refbody/section/p This would help determine what class definitions can be generic no matter in what context an element apppears (e.g. ) and what may need different treatment depending on context (e.g. */section/title). Oh, and if the generator could list the Xpath in reverse, from leaf node to root, as well that would be pleasant: p\section\refbody\reference\ Then I could sort the list of paths so that all instances where was a leaf would be together and I could decide which contexts could share a CSS class and which would need context-specific classes. I've tried using the <oXygen/> instance generator on the DITA task.xsd, but even limiting recursion depth and number of repetitions, it produces very large files, possibly not completing in my lifetime. And then there is the problem of extracting the Xpaths.

All possible Xpath generator?
by Hedley Finger 13 Feb '08

13 Feb '08

XML/Xpath/CSS heavy hitters: I am developing a CSS implementation for an XML schema. It would really help to check if all possibilities have been covered if I could find a utility that would scan a DTD (including *.mod inclusions) or XML Schema to write a list of all possible absolute Xpaths to a text file. This would help determine what class definitions can be generic no matter in what context an element apppears (e.g. ) and what may need different treatment depending on context (e.g. */section/title). Oh, and if the generator could list the Xpath in reverse, from leaf node to root, as well that would be pleasant: p/section/refbody/reference. Trawling through the Help for <oXygen/> 9.1 didn't give any joy, likewise Google.

CSS alternatives?
by Wendell Piez 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Hi, Not exactly a bug, but a glitch. When xml-stylesheet PIs are being used, "CSS Alternatives" appears not to work unless the CSS files are provided with title pseudo-attributes in their respective PIs. I guess this is not unreasonable, if you need a label for the pull-down menu. But the "Associate XSLT/CSS Stylesheet" dialog box doesn't offer a place to enter a title; it has to be done by hand. Maybe: (1) the dialog box should offer a field for a CSS title, and possibly (2) if one isn't given, the CSS Alternatives pull-down should fall back to the stylesheet href? What do you think?

Reporting of Imported/Included XSLT Component in Error Messages
by Eliot Kimber 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

I have a complext XSLT made up of many parts. In running it from inside Oxygen using Saxon 9, I was getting an error message but the message was reported against a line number in the top-level style sheet. When I run the same script outside Oxygen the error messages is associated with the correct component file (not the top-level). Is this a limitation in Oxygen's integration with Saxon or a bug? The message in this case was a run-time error reporting that a template's parameter was not set by the caller and the default was not consistent with the declared data type of the parameter.
