Refactoring operation to transform the first row of all tables in a set of DITA topics to a header row
by Yves Barbion 30 Sep '20

30 Sep '20

Hi group I've got a bunch of DITA topics with tables which do not have a header row yet, so I was wondering whether there is a refactoring operation available somewhere which transforms the first row(s) of all tables in a set of DITA topics to a header row? Thanks Yves

Basic help - consulting need
by leipold＠comcast.net 13 Sep '20

13 Sep '20

I am looking for someone to help me get Oxygen not to break with everything I try. I have watched every webinar and searched for answers, but it is just not helping. I am new to Oxygen. I have a very large set of books that I need to get going quickly. While I have figured some complex things out, I can't get the basics working. I need to set up a project that will have three large books in it. For now, I am just trying to get one working. I set up a project and added the ditamap I have been working on. I use the Ditamap PDF - based on HTML5 &CSS scenario and it outputs ok, although the bookmark are all squishy. I want to customize the output, so I duplicate the scenario and change some parameters and save as a publishing template and add to my project. Now I can output using the new scenario. If I use miniTOC, things get messed up. The only way to get rid of the problem is to delete the whole project and scenario and start over.. I do that and the new scenario works (without minTOC). Now I try to edit the css in the publishing template. No matter what I try to edit, even if I put in a period and then delete it, Oxygen breaks and won't transform anything. It says there is a problem with build.xml Again, the only way to get it working again is to delete everything and start over. All I really need are the following items. * Headers Bold non serif * Table format: shaded top row and full borders * Line under the first header(title). * Headers to continue for tables (not available in Parameters) * minitoc would be nice, but not necessary if it causes problems. * hyphenation * I'll need to configure the cover page at some point This is really basic stuff that should take me a few miniutes. I just don't understand how to get it setup and working in Oxygen. I don' think that it will take more than 2 hours to get all this going. I have put about 18 in to attempting to make it work. Between this and the issue I had with Equation conversion from Word (which Radu thankfully helped me through), I am way behind. If I can just get this basic startup, the rest should be pretty smooth. Creating the ditamap and content is not my issue and if I make no changes to the scenario or CSS I can output to PDF. But i do need to make changes to the CSS (or scenario) and I need help getting that working as soon as possible. Thanks, Debbi Debbi Leipold | Mobile (410) 905-7948

[Ann] New Oxygen add-on to help translators
by Radu Coravu 03 Sep '20

03 Sep '20

Hi everyone, Over the course of this summer one of our interns, Mircea Badoi, worked on a free Oxygen XML add-on designed to help translating XML content. Starting from yesterday, the add-on is available for Oxygen vesions 21.1 or newer in our default add-on repository. If you want to install it, you can use the Oxygen main menu "Help->Install new add-ons", choose the default Oxygen add-on update site and you will find an add-on named "Translator Helper (Experimental)" in the list. The add-on has two main features: 1. You can translate content using Google Translate to various languages: * Select the content to translate in the *Author* visual editing mode. You can also select the entire document contents. DITA topics are small so you can select the entire topic contents. * Right click. Select "Google Translate into" and choose the target language. * Copy the translated content from the opened web page. * Click *Replace* in the Oxygen *Translate using Google Translate* dialog that showed up. The original content should now be replaced with the translated content, the original element structure and attributes should remain unchanged. * In addition you can choose to show the original document content in the *Translator Helper* side view. This will allow you to correct the translation further by looking at the original text and the translated text side by side. 2. You can see the original content side by side with the content that you are translating, so you can translate correctly and easy by right clicking in the Author visual editing mode and invoking the *Show current content in side view* action. So I hope you will enjoy the add-on, if you have questions or improvement requests, they are as usual welcomed. One area in which the plugin may be useful is for example if you want to quickly demo to a customer how a topic written in English would look like in other languages like Japanese Chinese, French, German, Russian, etc. Regards, Radu Radu Coravu Oxygen XML Editor

Xspec support broken?
by Erik Zander 31 Aug '20

31 Aug '20

Hi, It was a while since I used xspec but I do remember it to just work out of the box. In my oxygen XML Developer 22.1, build 2020072902 I see the menus but not the wizard and threes no template for running the tests. Is something broken or is support dropped? Or should I unites xslt in any other way? Regards Erik Zander

Insert Image as Variable in Eclipse environment
by Oudkerk, Judith 31 Aug '20

31 Aug '20

Hi All, I'm using Oxygen XML (version in the Ixiasoft Eclipse CCMS environment. I'd like to insert an image as variable in a topic, but I can't get it to work. I know it's possible, because I used to do this in the Stand-alone Oxygen XML editor. I created a variables map and added this for the image variable: <keydef format="png" href="nlr1598608071706.image" keys="cap" scope="local"/> The output shows the href as text though: [cid:image003.jpg@01D67D55.704FD2E0] Am I doing something wrong, or is it not possible within the Eclipse environment? Version: Oxygen.3a (4.7.3a) Build id: M20180330-0640 PS. The image is .PNG, not .SVG. This was just a test-topic I had lying around. Thanks in advance for you input.

Experimental XSLT for transforming oXygen change markup in DocBook docs into DocBook
by Imsieke, Gerrit, le-tex 19 Aug '20

19 Aug '20

Apologies for cross-posting. Please think about whether the answer is most relevant to only one of both mailings lists before replying to both. I recently wanted to render a large book (DocBook 5.1) that was copy-edited in oXygen author mode and that contained the corresponding processing instructions, and I wanted to render it with the Ant-based FO scenario that displays changes. But for some reason that I could not really fathom, neither this FOP scenario nor the default PDF rendering scenario produced results, with different error messages. Increasing oXygen’s or Ant’s heap space to insane amounts didn’t improve the situation. Anyway, I didn’t need a PDF; HTML would be fine, too, so I decided to add an oXygen change markup renderer to Norm’s brand new xslTNG stylesheets, https://github.com/docbook/xslTNG There’s a pull request to xslTNG where I asked Norm to merge it into xslTNG (https://github.com/docbook/xslTNG/pull/67) But since it has been hardly tested on many documents, Norm is hesitant to merge it, and I’d like to collect some user feedback first. I’d like to ask you to test it on your DocBook files that have been enhanced with change markup in oXygen’s author mode. The patched renderer is at https://github.com/gimsieke/xslTNG/tree/oxy-markup. You probably need Gradle or something to build it yourself, but you can use the latest release (https://github.com/docbook/xslTNG/releases) and replace the changed files (https://github.com/docbook/xslTNG/pull/67/files) Or you can just run the stylesheet https://github.com/gimsieke/xslTNG/blob/oxy-markup/src/main/xslt/transforms… standalone, render the resulting DocBook to HTML and define the CSS classes .oxy_insert and .oxy_delete to naybe color:green and color:red, respectively. Please let me know whether it works in principle or whether there are bugs or missing features. Also whether there’s already another stylesheet somewhere in place that is supposed to render the oXygen change markup PIs. Gerrit

Word equations to oXygen Equation editor
by leipold＠comcast.net 17 Aug '20

17 Aug '20

Hello, I have an extremely large document to convert from Word to Oxygen DITA. One of the biggest problems is equations, and there are thousands of them. I found a way to export the equation to from word MathML and get this: <mml:math xmlns:mml=" <http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML> http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:m=" <http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/math%22%3E%3Cmml:msub…> http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/offic ... <mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:mo>=</mml:mo><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>C</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>d</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>A</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>p</mml:mi><mml:mi>i</mml:mi><mml:mi>p</mml:mi><mml:mi>e</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:msqrt><mml:mfrac><mml:mrow><mml:mn>2</mml:mn></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mo>(</mml:mo><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>P</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>a</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:mo>-</mml:mo><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>P</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>p</mml:mi><mml:mi>s</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub><mml:mo>)</mml:mo><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>v</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>w</mml:mi><mml:mo>,</mml:mo><mml:mi>a</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:mfrac></mml:msqrt></mml:math> I insert that into the equation editor and get this: <p>MathML inline: <equation-inline> <mml:math xmlns:mml=" <http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML> http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:m=" <http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/math> http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/offic ... /2006/math"> <mml:mi>W</mml:mi><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:mo>=</mml:mo><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>C</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>d</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>A</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>p</mml:mi><mml:mi>i</mml:mi><mml:mi>p</mml:mi><mml:mi>e</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:msqrt><mml:mfrac><mml:mrow><mml:mn>2</mml:mn><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:mfenced open="[" close="]" separators="|"><mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>P</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>a</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:mo>-</mml:mo><mml:mtext> </mml:mtext><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>P</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>p</mml:mi><mml:mi>s</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:mfenced></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>v</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi>w</mml:mi><mml:mo>,</mml:mo><mml:mi>a</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:mfrac></mml:msqrt></mml:math> </equation-inline></p> It looks fine in Author, but has element errors that MMM:Ml must be declared. It will not transform using the DITA Map PDF - based on HTML & CSS scenario. I have gotten to the point where I just do not know how to fix this. I realize that the syntax isn't the same as: <m:math display='inline'> <m:semantics> <m:mrow> <m:msqrt> ... But with thousands of these, I need the quickest way possible to get these equations in a format that can transform. I thought I had it because it finally looked right in Author, but I need to know how to add the correct element type to get it to transform. Sorry if this topic has been addressed before. I didn't find it. Thanks, Debbi Debbi Leipold | Mobile (410) 905-7948

Hiding keyref text in xrefs (in Author mode)
by Yves Barbion 12 Aug '20

12 Aug '20

Hi group When I insert a xref to a DITA topic with a key, I see the following in Author mode: <p><xref>[keyref_text]My cross-reference display text</xref></p> The keyref_text makes it a bit difficult to read my cross-reference display text, so I would like to hide it when I'm working in Author mode. Is there a way to do this? Thanks Yves
