Creating a RELAX NG datatype library .jar for use with the v.Nu schemas
by Graham Hannington 13 Mar '16

13 Mar '16

Revisiting some similar threads from several years ago... I want to use the Nu Html Checker (v.Nu) RELAX NG compact syntax schemas with Oxygen XML Author to edit XHTML5 documents. I'm using Oxygen XML Author version 15.2 on Windows 7. I'm already editing XHTML5 documents with the v.Nu schemas in another editor, jEdit, thanks to a jEdit XML plugin developer who has supplied me with a .jar containing the required datatype library. Good news: I can drop that .jar into the Oxygen lib directory, and everything "works": I point to the v.Nu schemas (that refer to a custom datatype), and Oxygen validates my XHTML5 documents. Bad news: I'm unable to re-create that datatype .jar myself, hence this email. I've cut down the release vnu.jar (which is what I believe the jEdit XML plugin developer did) to create a .jar containing just the classes (and other embedded data files) required by the datatype library (to avoid introducing classes that might clash with others in the classpath) to exactly the same set of files, and I've compared contents (including decompiling classes). I can't spot any significant differences between the two jars. But his works, mine doesn't :-(. And yet... both jars (mine and his) work in jEdit. So, I'm confused. To me, the most obvious answer is: there's something wrong with my .jar that I'm overlooking, that, for some reason, matters to Oxygen but not to jEdit (I haven't compared Jing versions in each product). Still, I have this niggling feeling that my jar might be okay, and that Oxygen has cached something to do with the custom datatypes in a way that requires the original version of the datatype .jar I used (from the jEdit XML plugin developer). I just don't know where that cache might be. I've deselected "parser caching", but I haven't seen any option to "clear parser cache". I'd appreciate advice on any of this. In particular: - Is my niggling feeling about parser caching just wishful thinking? Or is there a parser cache (that persists between Oxygen sessions) that I can clear? - Can someone provide me with steps that I can reproduce to cut down a release vnu.jar to, say, a vnu-datatype.jar that works in Oxygen? For details on what I'm up to and why, see: https://www.github.com/unsoup/validator (I must update that readme to mention raw.githubusercontent.com URLs an alternative to github.io URLs) Regards, Graham Hannington Fundi Software Pty Ltd 2016 ABN 89 009 120 290 This message has been scanned for malware by Websense. www.websense.com

[Announce] Streaming hands-on XSLT/XPath class (5 days, 24 hours) US$45
by G. Ken Holman 11 Mar '16

11 Mar '16

Fellow XML community members, Udemy, the streaming platform hosting my 24-hour-long hands-on XSLT/XPath class has imposed a price cap of US$50 on all classes. In advance of the imposed date next month, I've gone ahead and dropped the price today and created a 10% off coupon here: http://CraneSoftwrights.com/links/ptux-coupon.htm If you are interested, then please use the above discount coupon. This may seem counter-intuitive on my part to offer this, but I net a larger portion of the price paid with a coupon than of the list price paid without a coupon. This class is a comprehensive review of every element, every attribute and every function of XSLT/XPath 1.0 and XSLT/XPath 2.0, with exercises and answers. I am proud of how many students have lauded the material. This is a video recording of the 5-day class that I've taught in person around the world. I begin from first principles and work my way up to the complex concepts. Even seasoned XSLT users have appreciated the content. Please let me know, off list, if you have any questions. Thanks for any help you can be spreading the word and the link above to anyone who may have been interested in my material in the past. . . . . . . . .

by Arjan Loeffen 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Dear collegues, I'm on Oxygen 17.1.0 in Mars.1 Release (4.5.1). I lost my highlight on selections in Eclipse. Anyone, how do I get dropdown highlighting back? Is this an oxygen or eclipse thing? I do not have this problem in the Java IDE. I do have it in Oygen XSLT, XML, CSS etc. [image: Inline afbeelding 1] Thanks in advance! Arjan -- Arjan Loeffen, Armatiek BV 06-12918997

License of generate-xspec-tests-oxygen.xsl
by CIRULLI, Sandro 21 Feb '16

21 Feb '16

Hi, I posted a comment on the XSpec issue tracker related to this patch (https://github.com/expath/xspec/pull/74) I copy-paste it here below. Best, Sandro I tested the support for testing XSLT 3.0 with this XSpec test: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <x:description xmlns:x="http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/xspec" stylesheet="unit-converter.xsl" xslt-version="3.0"> <x:scenario label="When processing a data element with unit feet"> <x:context> <data> <altitude>1200</altitude> <unit>feet</unit> </data> </x:context> <x:expect label="convert feet to meters"> <data> <altitude>365.76</altitude> <unit>meters</unit> </data> </x:expect> </x:scenario> </x:description> It tests the following XSLT which makes use of high-order functions, a new feature of XSLT 3.0 (the example is adapted from www.xfront.com/Pearls-of-XSLT-and-XPath-3-0-Design.pdf<http://www.xfront.com/Pearls-of-XSLT-and-XPath-3-0-Design.pdf>). <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:math="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/math" exclude-result-prefixes="xs math" version="3.0"> <xsl:variable name="unit-converter" select="function( $value as xs:decimal, $f as function(item()*) as item()* ) as xs:decimal {$f($value)}"/> <xsl:variable name="feet-to-meters" select="function( $a as xs:decimal ) as xs:decimal {$a * 0.3048}"/> <xsl:template match="data[unit='feet']"> <xsl:copy> <altitude> <xsl:value-of select="$unit-converter(altitude, $feet-to-meters)"/> </altitude> <unit>meters</unit> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> I run this test with Oxygen 14.2 (which includes the Oxygen patch) and the test goes through successfully. However, I noticed that with this patch it is compulsory to specify the @xslt-versionwith the value '3.0' when testing an XSLT 3.0. If the attribute is not provided, the Oxygen ant file complains that XPath 3.0 is needed to run the test. If the patch is changed from: <stylesheet version="{( @xslt-version, '2.0' )[1]}"> to: <stylesheet version="{if ( @xslt-version, '3.0' ) then '3' else '2'}"> the XSpec test runs correctly even if @xslt-version is not provided. I wonder if this implementation may be more suitable as it does not force to specify the @xslt-version in the XSpec test, one only needs to specify the XSLT version in the actual XSL stylesheet. It also seems to me more consistent when writing XSpec tests for XSLT 2.0 as it is not required to specify @xslt-version in the XSpec test. Unfortunately I'm unable to test this implementation when running XSpec from the command line as XSLT 3.0 requires saxon9ee.jar (I only have saxon9he.jar available).

math and color
by Ulrike Borinski 01 Feb '16

01 Feb '16

Good morning, in Author mode I work with math-Elements using Math-Flow. In some circumstances I would like to color some of the math Elements. Some of them should be black, as they are usually. Some of them should be blue – if they are descendants of the Element »Lösung«. I try to change the color in my css – but they remains black. What can I do?
