Is there a known problem for the display of Tamil with Oxygen on a Mac?
by Jean-Luc Chevillard 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Greetings from Pondicherry. I have been recently encouraging a student to use Oxygen for entering some historically important text on which she is working and which mixes Latin and Tamil. Howevever, we have encountered unexpected difficulties, concerning the display of the Tamil script, on her Mac Laptop (running Mac OS Sierra°, which are better explained by the comparison of two screen shots. the attached file "Mac_Tamil_Display_Problem.png" which is a screen shot taken from her laptop the attached file "Windows_Normal_display_for_Tamil.png" which is a screen shot taken from my laptop (running Windows 7) The text under display is a fragment of a text and a relevant sample is: <parag> <n>8</n> <l>8. குற்றியலிகரம். Abbreviatio literae இ. Voces,</l> <l>quae per ய incipiunt, assumere in principio possunt இ:</l> <l>sic யாழ் - இயாழ், யதி - இயதி, யமன் - இயமன்,</l> <l>யூகம் - இயூகம் etc. Quando autem ab hoc இ eliditur</l> <l>உ praecedens, quod sit குற்றியலுகரம், de qua infra,</l> <l>tunc இ vocatar குற்றியலிகரம் , i abbreviatum. Sic pro</l> <l>கொட்டு யானை, மாடு யாது it கொட்டியானை, மாடியாது</l> <l>etc et tunc இ habet dimidium tantum supra dictae</l> <l>mensurae; unde si metro opus sit, non consideratur in</l> <l>versu. Sic in வெண்பா post pedem விளம் dictum, debet</l> <l>sequi நேரசை, et tamen post குழலினி, id est கருவிளம்,</l> <l>sequitur இயாழ் , quod si consideraretur இ, esset நிரை</l> <l>யசை, unde eo non considerato, remanet யாழ் நேரசை.</l> <l>Pro quo videnda sunt, quae dicimus P. IV, caput I.</l> <l>Pariter est interjectio மியா, quae inservit pro secunda</l> <l>persona. Sic pro கேள், கேண்மியா, pro சொல், சொன் </l> </parag> When she opens the same file in her browser, there is no display problem. The problem occurs with the character combinations for which a glyph substitution is needed We have been trying to see whether the problem might fall under ... https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/19.0/ug-author/topics/bidirectional-… ... but without sucess.

Transformation failed: Oxygen 19.1 editor + markdown files
by Annette Nehrling 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Hi all, Having installed the "new" 19.1 editor on Windows 10, all attempts to run a transformation scenario on a ditamap that includes markdown files, fail. Even the sample.xpr project for the Markdown project (garage.ditamap) from the dita/markdown-dita folder does not work. Error message is the following: Transformation failed. C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor 19\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT2.x\plugins\org.dita.base\build_init.xml:156: Directory C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor 19\samples\dita\markdown-dita\out\pdf creation was not successful for an unknown reason If I try to run my own markdown project the error message is a little bit more complex: Transformation failed. C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor 19\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT2.x\plugins\org.dita.base\build_preprocess.xml:299: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Only file URI scheme supported: C:/DITA-OT/test_user_manual/TEST%20User%20Documentation/test_getting_started.ditamap Any idea how to fix this issue? Maybe I did sth wrong? Thank you all so much for your support! Best regards, Annette -- Avira Operations GmbH & Co.

Search and Replace with regular expression
by Bernhard Kleine 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

Hi, while porting from LaTeX to docbook5 I encounter numerous cases where a regular expression search and replace would be extremely helpfull. E.g. I have a citation as \citep{ABC65}. This should become <citation><biblioref linkend="ABC65"/></citation>. Is that possible in oxygen and how to achieve it?

I often have a lot of XML-files open simultaneously. Is it possible to configure multiple rows of tabs? Something similar to this: http://winaero.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Firefox-with-multi-row-t… Jostein

Fast Create Keydefs
by Eliot Kimber 02 Oct '17

02 Oct '17

Now that there is Fast Create Topics I’d like to have “Fast Create Keydefs” that I can use to create multiple keydefs at once by filling in a tabular form. For example, I create key definitions for each external Web site referenced from my docs, of which there can be many in some of my open-source project documentation. It would be nice to have a dialog that provides a tabular input where the columns would be e.g.: Key | Target | Format Or maybe Target | Key | Format Makes more sense (since for this task my focus is on associating target URLs with keys. Likewise, the format value can be inferred from the target URI. I also create keys for each image or other media object, so it would be convenient to have a way to select multiple images or other media objects and do a “fast create keys” from all of them, e.g., use the filename as the base for the key and fill in the table so the user can then adjust the keys as needed. In both cases a I usually use a prefix to distinguish one type of key from another, so it would be use useful to be able to specify a prefix or suffix to be used for all the keys being created, e.g., “image-“ for image keys, “website-“ for Web site keys, etc. Cheers, E. -- Eliot Kimber http://contrext.com

Another Feature Request: Refactor Key Names
by Eliot Kimber 02 Oct '17

02 Oct '17

While I’m asking for things, another one I’d like is a refactoring action to rename keys that will update references to the key in any referenced topics or maps, analogous to the existing rename resource refactoring. Cheers, E. -- Eliot Kimber http://contrext.com

Is Tamil among the languages for which a specific collation is available?
by Jean-Luc Chevillard 21 Sep '17

21 Sep '17

Greetings The title of this message says it all: Is Tamil among the languages for which a specific collation is available when using Oxygen? I have to sort items in the Tamil alphabetical order, but when I specify that « lang="ta" » as a parameter in my sort command, the order I obtain is the one which is based on the Unicode codepoint collation, which is not what one expects while sorting Tamil words The same thing happens if I define a parameter such as <xsl:param name="sorting-collation" select="'http://saxon.sf.net/collation?lang=ta'"/> and then use it in a sort command <xsl:sort select="." collation="{$sorting-collation}"/> To give a specific example the following short list is extracted from a much longer list which is part of an HTML file created by applying an XSLT file (containing SORT commands) to an XML file <ul> <li>அத்தத்தின் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 7 items]</li> <li>அனந்தன் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 1 items]</li> <li>அனற்பொறியின் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 1 items]</li> <li>அனற்றிரளின் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 1 items]</li> <li>அனுடத்தின் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 7 items]</li> <li>அமரமாதர் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 2 items]</li> <li>அரக்கர் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 7 items]</li> <li>அருகன் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 43 items]</li> </ul> HOWEVER, this is not the proper Tamil dictionnary order order, which should be: <ul> <li>அத்தத்தின் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 7 items]</li> <li>அமரமாதர் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 2 items]</li> <li>அரக்கர் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 7 items]</li> <li>அருகன் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 43 items]</li> <li>அனந்தன் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 1 items]</li> <li>அனற்பொறியின் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 1 items]</li> <li>அனற்றிரளின் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 1 items]</li> <li>அனுடத்தின் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 7 items]</li> </ul> Any suggestions would be appreciated -- Jean-Luc Chevillard (currently in Pondicherry, India) https://univ-paris-diderot.academia.edu/JeanLucChevillard https://twitter.com/JLC1956
