Custom XML Calabash in oXygen
by Martin Kraetke, le-tex 16 Feb '21

16 Feb '21

Hi, I want to convert XProc Pipelines in oXygen with a custom XML Calabash (https://github.com/transpect/calabash-frontend) Therefore, I followed Adrian's instructions which he made on this list some years ago: https://www.oxygenxml.com/pipermail/oxygen-user/2013-March/004558.html However, I ran into a couple of problems: (1) I can run a simple XProc pipeline, but when I want to use an XProc extension step in my pipeline, Calabash aborts and states that there is no class in my configuration for the extension step. However, I've added this to my engine.xml: <library name="extensions/transpect/unzip-extension/io/transpect/calabash/extensions/UnZip.class"/> And I have this in my calabash.config file. The paths are correct. <implementation type="letex:unzip tr-internal:unzip" class-name="io.transpect.calabash.extensions.UnZip"/> (2) I was not able to add a custom XML catalog to the configuration. I've tried to add this to the engine.xml, but it doesn't worked: <system-property name="Dxml.catalog.staticCatalog" value="1"/> <system-property name="Dxml.catalog.files" value="xmlcatalog/catalog.xml"/> Has anyone integrated it's own Calabash or has any suggestions?

Why is "Go to definition" so slow?
by Roger L Costello 12 Feb '21

12 Feb '21

Hi Folks, In XML Schema documents I can select a type, right-mouse-click, select "Go to definition", and then Oxygen will take me to the type definition. This is a great feature. However, in recent versions of Oxygen, it has gotten really slow. For example, I have a schema file that is 604 lines (i.e., a small schema). I selected a type, right-mouse-clicked, and selected "Go to definition". It took 20 seconds for Oxygen to find the type. Why does it take so long? I remember in previous editions of Oxygen it would take less than 2 seconds. /Roger

Re: [oXygen-user] How to get the location of "invalid UTF-8 characters"?
by Gibbons, Dave (US - Oregon) 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

We have to search and replace high-bit characters sometimes. Here's what we do: Find/Replace in Files Enable the Regular expression option Use this code: [^\x00-\x7F] If that gets garbled in posting, it's left square bracket caret backslash x00- backslash x7F right square bracket On 31.01.2021 00:30, Roger L Costello wrote: > Hi Folks, > > I have a large XHTML file.

How to get the location of "invalid UTF-8 characters"?
by Roger L Costello 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

Hi Folks, I have a large XHTML file. Apparently, somewhere in the file is an invalid Unicode character because when I drag-and-drop the file into Oxygen I get the error message: Cannot open the specified file: Got a character encoding exception. File encoding (UTF-8) does not support all characters from the current file. The problem is this: Where is the invalid UTF-8 character? Is there a way to get Oxygen to tell me where -- what character position -- it detected the invalid Unicode character? /Roger

[Ann] Webinar: Working with DITA in Oxygen - Advanced Profiling and Reuse Strategies (3 February)
by Alin Belu 29 Jan '21

29 Jan '21

Hello, If becoming advanced in profiling and reusing DITA content is one of this year’s resolutions, then you're in luck! Next Wednesday (February 3), make time for the third installment of the “Working with DITA in Oxygen” webinar series. In this live event titled “Advanced Profiling and Reuse Strategies”, Sorin Carbunaru (software developer at Syncro Soft) returns to help you achieve mastery in more advanced DITA concepts, such as: * Conref ranges – easily create content references to ranges of adjacent (sibling) elements. * Conref push - an alternate way of creating content references by injecting element values from the source element into a topic where it is to be re-used. * Subject scheme maps - create custom controlled values and manage metadata attribute values for an organization or a project without having to write a DITA specialization. * Profiling attribute groups - used to support situations where an attribute applies to multiple specialized subcategories. * Key scopes - specify different sets of key definitions for different map branches. * Branch filtering - set filtering conditions for specific branches of a map. This is a free event and you can register at http://www.oxygenxml.com/evs2021-3.html Make sure to check the full list of our upcoming events: https://www.oxygenxml.com/events_programme.html Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor

View images in DITA Reusable Components in a different order: most recent files first?
by Yves Barbion 28 Jan '21

28 Jan '21

Hi group, I see that the images in the DITA Reusable Components are arranged in alphabetical order. I guess there is no way to change this order, for example to see the most recent files first? Kind regards Yves

Re: [oXygen-user] Regular expression search regarding your product
by Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu) 28 Jan '21

Hi Masamitsu, I'm afraid I do not have a good idea about how to do this. Indeed with a regexp expression you can select the entire text: (1), (2), and (3)terminal but I have no solution for the situation in which you want the Find Next to find sequentially (1), (2) and (3).

[Ann] Webinar: Engage everyone in the technical documentation process (27 January)
by Alin Belu 26 Jan '21

26 Jan '21

Hello, Don't forget to register for tomorrow's Oxygen live event! On January 27, during the “Engage everyone in the technical documentation process” live webinar, Bogdan Dumitru, software developer at Syncro Soft, will show you how Oxygen Content Fusion is a platform for all, not just for technical writers. You will see firsthand how it can positively impact the activity of each person involved in the technical documentation process: * Technical writers who have full control over the content - the gate keepers of the documentation source. * Subject matter experts (SMEs) who can create and push documentation drafts to technical writers. * Users that can now propose changes just by following a link in the published output. Along with the presented use-cases, this live event will also highlight DITA-specific features as well as some of the new additions brought to Content Fusion 4.0, in particular the concurrent editing support that allows you and your team to edit and review the same document simultaneously. This is a free event and you can register at http://www.oxygenxml.com/evs2021-5.html Make sure to check the full list of our upcoming events: https://www.oxygenxml.com/events_programme.html Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor
