Oxygen on Linux
by Allan Johnstone 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

Hello, I'm using Oxygen on Linux and while I quite like it, I find it quite annoying that it doesn't support the standard Unix/Linux clipboard (in which selected text is automatically copied to that clipboard). Is there any way that I can configure this to work? Thanks, Allan -- Allan Johnstone Technical Writer, Sophos Docs, CA Email: allanj(a)ca.sophos.com Phone: 604-484-4331 Web: www.sophos.com Sophos Plc: integrated threat management

where is the component versions list?
by Chris Chiasson 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

I've seen it before, but even though I spent a long time Googling (including Googling my search history), I can't find it again. It has a series of "blue" tables that show the version of each application that is included with oXygen. Particularly, I would like to know the FOP version. I've tried searches like the following: fop saxon xalan xerces site:oxygenxml.com -inurl:pipermail -inurl:archives -inurl:forum still no luck -- http://chris.chiasson.name/

keep.relative.image.uris 0 being disrespected (???)
by Chris Chiasson 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

Hi, I have a stylesheet customization layer that sets the keep.relative.image.uris parameter to zero. (therfore, they are resolved against xml:base) I verified that the customization layer works by using xsltproc (I have it on the Samba server that hosts my Windows files) on the xml source files and xsl customization layer (and yes, the xml catalog on the server points to docbook-xsl 1.70.1 as the current release). xsltproc --xinclude -o Engineering_Optimization.xhtml ~/.xml/alpha/xhtml.xsl Engineering_Optimization.xml When I transform with oXygen 7.2 and saxon 6.5.5 using the same customization layer (by placing file:/Z:/.xml/alpha/xhtml.xsl in the XSL url field), the file comes out ok, with the exception that the uris have not taken xml:base into account, so they don't point to the correct folder (and thus the images don't show in Firefox). I have tried setting the parameter keep.relative.image.uris to 0 inside oXygen, which doesn't work either. I created my transformation by cloning the DocBook HTML one and editing it to point to my xsl layer along with outputting to ${cfn}.xhtml. I am going to go download the regular Eclipse distribution instead of the Eclipse + Web Platform Tools distribution. If that fixes it, then I'll post to this thread again. -- http://chris.chiasson.name/

DocBook image scale issue
by Timothy Reaves 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

I have this bit of code: <mediaobject> <imageobject> <imagedata fileref="figures/figures.png" format="PNG" scale="50"/> </imageobject> </mediaobject> I believe this is correctly specified as per the specs. However, when I generated my PDF, the image was displayed as if I had not used scale at all (which is actually a little larger that 100%, which is why I want to use scale). When I turn of FOP output, I see this: [ERROR] Error in content-width property value '50%': org.apache.fop.fo.expr.PropertyException: No conversion defined [ERROR] Error in content-height property value '50%': org.apache.fop.fo.expr.PropertyException: No conversion defined Any ideas as to what I've done incorrectly?

Feature request

I'd really like to see some menu consolidation on both oXygen and SVNClient. On the Mac especially, it's very apparent that there are just too many main menu categories. As I work on a laptop during the week, I'm always faced with other things I expect to be on the menu not being there (because the many items of oXygen force off other things, like battery meter). This may be partially exacerbated by the font choice. Is the menu font the standard OS choice? Thanks.

Font metrics file location

Where are these xml files supposed to go? If I put them in the directory specified in the PDF on the site, they are not found. If I hard code them in the fopConfiguration.xml, they are found. But I'd prefer not to hard code the location.

Re: [oXygen-user] weird transformation error message
by Sorin Ristache 17 Aug '06

Hello, I think 20060628 means June 28, 2006 which is older, not newer than the date of the stable release, June 29, 2006. As we specify on the Download page of the oXygen website we support only stable official releases of Eclipse. This is why I recommend an official release of Eclipse. Anyway the Warnings view is a built-in view of Eclipse with no connection to the oXygen plugin.

weird transformation error message
by Chris Chiasson 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

In transforming a document that came out fine and produced only the standard "stripping ns from DocBook 5/NG ...", "processing stripped ...", "id recommended on..." warnings, the oXygen Eclipse plugin (assumedly) poped up a window saying "an error occurred" and "see error log for details". The dialog had only an OK button. The error doesn't seem to appear on repeats of the same transformation, but I have seen it before when working with the oXygen plugin. I am not sure where to look for the aforementioned log. A search of the oXygen site does not reveal the message. So, to the point: Has anyone seen this error message? What, if anything, may be done to eliminate it? -- http://chris.chiasson.name/

XInclude
by Mark Seaborne 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

Hi I am just starting to experiment with Oxygen's XInclude support. I now have a document that uses XInclude and Oxygen has XInclude switched on. Apart from checking well-formedness/validity across the XML instances what other functionality does Oxygen give me? For example can I view the document with the XInclude statements resolved, or can I choose to save the document either before or after XInclude processing? The help documentation is not very forthcoming on the subject (unless I am missing something obvious, which I don't rule out). All the best Mark

two newbie questions
by Chris Chiasson 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

Hello oXygen-user list, Will someone please explain how to add oXygen project resources to an existing Eclipse project? I can't make it transform the existing xml files in one of my projects. Failing that, will someone please explain why the standalone editor does not automatically show the result of a transformation in the project tree when the advice in this thread (about using oXygen on a Subversion checkout) is followed? http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6035&sid=da8c7ae54211a6df2df… Thank you kindly, -- http://chris.chiasson.name/
