Checking whether a file exists in XSLT
by Lou Burnard 13 Jan '17

13 Jan '17

I need to write a stylesheet which checks the value of an attribute to see if it is the name of an existing file. You can't do it directly in XSLT of course, so I am following the advice of Mike Kay (https://www.oxygenxml.com/archives/xsl-list/200506/msg00400.html) and trying to do it with a java extension in an XSLT2 stylesheet. Here's the relevant template, which I run with saxon EE within oXygen 18.1 <xsl:template match="tei:pb"> <xsl:variable name="filename" as="xs:string"> <xsl:value-of select="@facs"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="resolvedFile" as="xs:anyURI" select="resolve-uri(@facs, base-uri(.))"/> <xsl:message> <xsl:value-of select="concat($filename, ' resolves to ', $resolvedFile)"/> </xsl:message> <xsl:if test="not(fs:exists(fs:new($resolvedFile)))" xmlns:fs="java.io.File"> <xsl:value-of select="concat($filename, ' Not Found')"/> </xsl:if> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> </xsl:template> The messages produced tell me that the filenames are being resolved correctly (they are all relative URLs like this ../../something/foo/foo.jpg) but the test always returns true, whether the file concerned exists or not. Am I missing something obvious? Or not obvious? This has been driving me nuts all day...

Using index.html + contextID with C# Help provider
by Franz-Josef Knelangen 20 Dec '16

20 Dec '16

Hi oxygen fellows, in the meantime, we managed to call a specific HTML file from the Webhelp file set using MS help provider. All is rendered correctly and looks OK. But, this has some drawbacks: * You have to care for a fallback solution yourself (calling index.html when no specific HTML help topic is available). * You can't call #anchors inside HTML files, since these are not files :). Anyone used the index.html + contextID approach successfully in C# projects?

Duplicate topic: handy but... same ID
by Yves Barbion 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

Hi group I really like the Duplicate feature in oXygenXML Author/Editor 18.1, which I use to duplicate a topic in a DITA map and add the topicref to the DITA map in one go. But... I see that the duplicated topic has the same ID, which may present problems when the topic is referenced. So, the author has to remember to remove the duplicate ID and generate a new unique ID on the duplicated topic. Or is there a way to get a unique ID on the duplicated topic automatically? Thanks -- Yves Barbion www.flowtime.be

Context-sensitive Webhelp using MS HelpProvider?
by Franz-Josef Knelangen 24 Nov '16

24 Nov '16

Hello there, new to this list so apologies if this has been answered before: We're moving from CHM to Webhelp for our desktop apps and my developer colleagues don't like to make the switch if they cannot use the MS HelpProvider to call the help from our Windows Desktop Apps. Anyone managed context-sensitive Webhelp with MS HelpProvider? TIA and Kind regards, Franz-Josef ________________________________ AKG Software Consulting GmbH Franz-Josef Knelangen Uhlandstra?e 12 79423 Heitersheim Germany Tel.: +49 (0)7634 5612-611 Fax: +49 (0)7634 5612-300 E-Mail: fjk(a)akgsoftware.de Internet: www.akgsoftware.de<http://www.akgsoftware.de> Gesch?ftsf?hrer: Dipl.-Ing.

Hi group Is there an easy way to select one or more rows in a table and turn these into heading rows (thead)? I'm thinking about something like this: 1. Select the row(s). 2. Right-click and choose "Refactoring > convert rows to heading rows". Thanks -- Yves Barbion www.flowtime.be

The oxy_video form control can be used to play video files, the oxy_browser form control can be used to render an HTML page or SVG file, and the oxy_audio form control can play audio clips. Implement Custom "Heavy" Form Controls oXygen now provides support for Heavy form controls. This new type of form control allows you to play video and audio resources, and render HTML or SVG resources. You can also implement your own custom form controls based on the new Heavy architecture. Convert Paragraphs to List Items and Change List Item Type When editing DITA, DocBook, XHTML, or TEI documents, you can easily convert selected paragraphs to list items by using the various Insert List Item actions on the toolbar. You can also change selected list items to another type (for example, change an unordered list to an ordered list). Smart Paste Handles Internal Links in Office Documents The Smart Paste feature has been improved to preserve links to other parts of the same document, when pasting content from Office documents into Author mode. Links are converted to cross references for the particular document type that you are working with. Improvements to Paste Strategies in Tables The strategies for the behavior of the paste mechanism when pasting content in table cells has been improved. Now, copied cells are pasted while preserving their initial order and spacing. DITA Support for Video and Audio Media Objects oXygen now includes actions to easily insert video or audio content within DITA topics. The oXygen visual editing Author mode will not only display the media content, but also allow you to play it in-place. On the publishing side, oXygen comes with a DITA-OT plugin that will enable the multimedia content to appear in HTML and PDF output. Embed Video and Audio Media in DITA to WebHelp Output You can insert references to video and audio media resources (such as YouTube videos) in your DITA topics and publish them to WebHelp output. The embedded video and audio objects can be played directly in all HTML5-based outputs, including WebHelp systems. Improve Speed for Computing Topic Titles The amount of time it takes to compute topic titles in the DITA Maps Manager view was reduced as oXygen accesses multiple topics in the same time to extract the title information. New Action for Duplicating Topics There is now a new contextual menu action in the DITA Maps Manager view called Duplicate that creates a copy of the selected topic and insert it as a sibling. It is helpful for quickly creating a new DITA topics that is similar to an existing topic. Lightweight DITA Improvements The Lightweight DITA DTDs were updated to the latest version. Also, you can now use the new Insert Media action to insert references to video or audio resources when editing Lightweight DITA documents. Tracked Changes and Comments Can Be Displayed in PDF Output You now have the ability to display tracked changes and comments in DITA to PDF output. This can be done by simply setting a parameter in the transformation scenario. Validate and Check for Completeness Command Line Tool A new command line tool was added that executes a Validate and Check for Completeness operation on a specified DITA map. The results are displayed in the command console (for example, whether or not the validation was successful, the number of errors or warnings, or you can even specify to display the entire report). The tool requires an oXygen Scripting license. Markdown Editor New Markdown Editor oXygen now includes a built-in Markdown editor that allows you to write and edit documents using Markdown syntax and converts it to HTML or DITA. The specialized multi-pane editor includes a preview panel to help you visualize the final output. The editor includes a variety of helpful actions, automatic validation, syntax highlighting to make it easier to read and write, and specialized syntax rules that combine popular features from several specifications. Create Markdown Documents Directly from DITA Maps Manager The Markdown editing support includes unique features that allow you to create Markdown documents directly in DITA maps (from the DITA Maps Manager) and to convert Markdown documents to DITA topics. Content Completion Improved Precision for Content Completion oXygen allows you to set a configuration file to control the content completion proposals for elements presented in the Content Completion Assistant. Now, you can identify more precisely the elements you want to control, by being able to check attributes and attribute values on those elements. Improved Content Completion for XPath and XQuery The Content Completion Assistant for XPath and XQuery was updated to take into account the latest additions in XPath 3.0 and XQuery 3.0. For example, new functions are now offered though content completion, such as empty-sequence, document-node, item, comment, namespace-node, and processing-instruction - just to name a few. File Comparison Tool More Accurate Second Level Comparisons on XML Nodes When using the XML Fast and XML Accurate algorithms for two-way or three-way comparisons, the second level comparison is now processed using a syntax-aware comparison that splits the files or fragments into sequences of tokens and computes the differences between them. This results in a more accurate second level comparison. Improvements to the Format and Indent Action The Format and Indent action in the File Comparison tool now works on more file types. You can now use the action on the following types of files: XQuery, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, RNC, XSD, RNG, NVDL, XML, ANT, DITAMap, WSDL, SVG, Schematron, XProc, XSL, and HTML. As usual, oXygen also added many new API and component updates for this release. Please let us know if you encounter any problems with this beta build. All feedback is welcome!

Fw: Error SVN
by O'Donnell, Dan 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

Hi, We are having problems with the attached error. It seems to be a version of the one discussed here: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/18/ug-author/topics/address-family-n… This is occurring on a new install of Windows10 and a new 17.1 download. We tried what was recommended in the post, creating a new custom_commons.vmoptions file in the Oxygen17 folder in Program Files. The file didn't exist so we created a new one. The file contained only one line java.net.preferIPv4Stack=true or -java.net.preferIPv4Stack=true (we tried it both ways). We then restarted Oxygen and checked the system properties (nothing there). We also tried rebooting the whole computer and then checking the Oxygen system properties. We also tried not checking but just trying to checkout the repository. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -dan [U of Lethbridge Logo] Daniel Paul O'Donnell Professor of English and Associate Member of the University Library Academic Staff Editor, Digital Studies/Le champ num<http://digitalstudies.org/>érique <http://digitalstudies.org/> Vice President, Force 11<http://force11.org> Department of English and University Library University of Lethbridge 4401 University Drive West Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Canada Tel. +1 (403) 329-2377 http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell @danielPaulOD ________________________________ From: Greta Vardazaryan <greta(a)editors.journalincubator.org> Sent: October 5, 2016 17:54 To: O'Donnell, Dan Subject: Error SVN Hi Dan, Please find attached the screenshot of the error.

join 2 table cells
by Ulrike Borinski 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

Good morning, I want to join 2 table-cells. If one is below or above the other – easy. But I want to join two cells side by side: I put the cursor in the right cell, this message appears: »The operation is enabled only when there is a selection that contains at least two cells from the same row of a table or when the caret is positioned between two horizontally adjacent cells.« I mark 2 cells, the button is enabled. What is to do? Kind regards Ulrike Borinski (Mac, Oxygen 18, build 2016081012) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
