Is there a way to collapse an element from its end tag?
by Roger L Costello 16 Nov '22

16 Nov '22

Hi Folks, I have a long XML document. Sometimes, as I scroll through the document I am positioned at an element (current-element) and I want to collapse its preceding element: ... </preceding-element> <---- I want to collapse this element <current-element> The start tag for preceding-element is way up in the document; scrolling up to find the start tag is a pain. Is there a way to collapse preceding-element from its end tag? /Roger

[ANN] Webinar: Integrating Various Document Formats (OpenAPI, Word, Markdown, HTML, Excel) into DITA Documentation (November 23, 2022)
by Alin Belu 15 Nov '22

15 Nov '22

Hello, The long-awaited Oxygen XML Editor webinar series is finally back! The autumn/winter season of live events starts on *November 23rd* with the *Integrating Various Document Formats (OpenAPI, Word, Markdown, HTML, Excel) into DITA Documentation* webinar. As we all know, some documentation projects require a mix of document formats (e.g. DITA for content, Markdown for release notes, JSON for API documentation). With this in mind, Cosmin Duna (senior software developer at Syncro Soft) created a live event in which he will demonstrate how you can integrate OpenAPI, Word, Markdown, HTML, and Excel content into your DITA documentation by simply using the Oxygen tools and features. During this live webinar, you will get more insight on the following subjects: * Referencing content from various types of non-DITA resources directly in DITA documents. * Dynamically converting various types of non-DITA resources to DITA while publishing. * Converting various formats into DITA and integrating them into the project. This is a free event but registration is required. You can register at https://oxygenxml.com/evs2022-12.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

oxy_eval?
by Scott Prentice 08 Nov '22

08 Nov '22

Just wondering if there's an "eval" custom CSS function .. ? I've got an oxy_combobox that lists a number of attributes, and would like to be able to test the selected value. If a certain attribute was selected, I want to set another attribute on the same element. I know I can do this by writing some Java code, but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious with the custom CSS functions. Thanks! ...scott

Support for CSS pseudo-class :has()
by Michael Boudreau 02 Nov '22

02 Nov '22

Hello, Is there any chance that a future version of Oxygen will support the CSS pseudo-class :has() ? I tried the following rule in a stylesheet entry:has(> styled-content) { background-color: #DDEEFF; } but the table cell (<entry>) with a child <styled-content> element didn’t get the expected light blue background. -- Michael R.

XPath version in XPath toolbar?
by David Birnbaum 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Dear oxygen-user(a)oxygenxml.com, If I select XPath version 3.1 in the XPath toolbar and evaluate an expression like: *//l => count()* in a document that contains *<l>* elements, it correctly returns the count of those elements. If I select XPath 1.0 and evaluate the same expression, it correctly raises an error because it doesn't understand the arrow operator, which is not part of XPath 1.0. If I select XPath 2.0 I also expect an error because the arrow operator is not part of XPath 2.0, but instead the result is the same as with 3.1. Am I mistaken in expecting 2.0 to raise an error here? Sincerely, David

Oxygen/Perforce connector?
by Scott Prentice 26 Oct '22

26 Oct '22

I have a client who is interested in using Oxygen with a Perforce repo. The only plugin/connector with Perforce I'm seeing is for Web Author .. am I missing something? Has anyone put together any sort of integration with Oxygen XML Editor and Perforce? This doesn't seem like an unreasonable expectation. Yes, Git is nice, but if your company has an existing Perforce installation, it's hard to get them to switch. Thoughts? Thanks! ...scott

[ANN] Version 5.0.1 of the Git Client add-on has been released!
by Alin Belu 18 Oct '22

18 Oct '22

Hello everyone, We are extremely proud to announce the release for *version 5.0.1* of the *Git Client add-on*! With the latest version of the Git Client Add-on, we expanded its functionality even further with various improvements, such as: * A new Validate each file before committing option was added in the Git Client preferences page. Selecting this option enables automatic validation of each file before each commit. * A new Validate all files from the project's "Main Files" folder before pushing option was added in the Git Client preferences page. Selecting this option enables automatic validation of the files located in the Main Files folder before the push operation processes. * The integrated JGit library was upgraded to version 6.3, which brings support for ssh-agent forwarding. * An option has been added that automatically detects Oxygen projects from opened working copies to quickly open them in the Project View. * Added a Squash merge "SELECTED_BRANCH" into "CURRENT_BRANCH" action in the contextual menu for local branches in the Git Branch Manager. This will add all changes from the "SELECTED_BRANCH" to the "CURRENT_BRANCH" in a single new commit. * By default, the History view presents commits from all branches (both remote and local). * Tags can be deleted even if they have already been pushed to the remote repository. * If the local branch has not been published yet, the push button will be decorated with a + symbol and will have a tool-tip to explain the context. * A more helpful message is displayed when pulling and the local branch doesn't track a remote. * In tree view mode, if there are no changes, the empty folder with the name of the repository will no longer be displayed. * The Git Staging view now has a busy cursor when an operation is in progress. * Fixed an issue when authentication tokens were lost from options. * Some dialogues have been improved to make them easier to understand. * Bug fixes and performance improvements. To install the add-on, follow this procedure: 1. Go to *Help > Install new add-ons* to open an add-on selection dialog box. Enter or paste https://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Addons/default/updateSite.xml in the *Show add-ons from* field or select it from the drop-down menu. 2. Select the *Git Client* add-on and click *Next*. 3. Read the end-user license agreement. Then select the *I accept all terms of the end-user license agreement* option and click *Finish*. 4. Restart the application. *Result:* The Git Staging view is now available. To open the view, select *Git Staging* from the *Window > Show View* menu (or select *Git Client* from the *Tools* menu). This view acts as a basic Git client integrated directly in Oxygen XML Editor, and it provides support for committing changes to a Git repository, comparing and merging changes, resolving conflicts, and other Git commands.*Git *menu is also contributed in the main menu bar that includes various Git actions. For more information, see the details for the Git Client add-on on the page below: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-editor/topics/git-addon.html We hope that you will enjoy using the latest release of the Git Client add-on as much as we enjoyed developing it. As always, feedback is welcome! Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor

Table formatting: style attribute
by Michael Boudreau 18 Oct '22

18 Oct '22

Is Oxygen supposed to heed the ‘style’ attribute on <th> and <td> elements in the JATS table model when it’s rendering tables? It doesn’t appear to be doing so. I’m using Oxygen 25.0 on macOS X 12.6. I’m creating tables using the JATS table model in a framework that uses CSS files copied from the JATSKit framework. When I add a style attribute like this— <td align="center" valign="bottom" style="border-bottom: solid thin black; border-right: solid thin black">X</td> —the rules I hope to see on the cell don’t appear. (For background: I’m creating tables in the JATS model by converting tables from the OASIS model. In the OASIS model, the <entry> element has ‘colsep’ and ‘rowsep’ attributes to make a rule appear on the right or bottom edge of the table cell. Since there are no direct analogues of those attributes in the JATS model <th> and <td> elements, I’m using the ‘style’ attribute instead.) -- Michael R.
