Possible standalone WebDAV client with oXygen?
by David Sewell 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

I and a couple of other people in my department often need to read and write files via WebDAV connections (specifically, to MarkLogic's WebDAV server interface to its database). We all use OS X as our platform, and we have often found that the built-in WebDAV mounting support in OS X Finder is unreliable. We have used an alternative standalone client (Transmission), but lately it has had some performance problems as well. The internal WebDAV client within oXygen has always been solidly reliable. Is there any chance that it could be bundled or sold separately as a standalone WebDAV client? Would other oXygen users find that useful? (Or does anyone have suggestions about other OS X WebDAV clients to try?)

Problems with copy and paste from Firfox
by Sascha Manns 10 Jul '15

10 Jul '15

Hello List, actually i'm writing with XML-Editor a document. Sometimes i'm using copy and paste from Firefox to XML-Editor in Author-Mode. The problem is, after STRG+V the text is inserted on the wished place, but the umlauts are broken. So the german word "Beträge" looks like "Betrýge". I've seen in the sourcecode of the website UTF-8 is set as charset. Inside the XML Editors settings i have set: Fallback Charset: UTF-8. Also my docbook file begins with: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>. So i don't understand why this broken char happens. Maybe anyone knows more?

Defect in SVG viewer
by Timothy Reaves 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

I created an SVG document with - I believe - a version of oXygen in the 15.x series, about two years ago. I just opened it in oXygen to edit it, and it no longer renders correctly in oXygen. In the Mac Finder, Safari, and Firefox, it still does render correctly. Are there any known defects? If not, whom should I send the SVG to to create a defect report? Thanks.

Whitespace-only text nodes in XSLT
by Wendell Piez 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Hi, Given this stylesheet: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" exclude-result-prefixes="xs" version="2.0"> <xsl:variable name="mixed" as="element()"> <mixed>Here is mixed content, including <one>children</one> <two>with nothing</two> but whitespace between them.</mixed> </xsl:variable> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="$mixed"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="node() | @*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> I run it on itself in oXygen, and get <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><mixed>Here is mixed content, including <one>children</one><two>with nothing</two> but whitespace between them.</mixed> I would expect whitespace between the </one><two>. What am I missing? Have things changed wrt whitespace-handling rules? (As I see it, the temporary tree $mixed should contain a whitespace-only text node between the 'one' and 'two' elements.) Thanks for any insights, Wendell -- Wendell Piez | http://www.wendellpiez.com XML | XSLT | electronic publishing Eat Your Vegetables _____oo_________o_o___ooooo____ooooooo_^

Oh icon my icon!
by Syd Bauman 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Apologies if this is a FAQ. I'm working on some "do this in oXygen" documentation, and would like to show the reader which button to click, e.g., for configuring a transformation scenario. I could, of course, use my computer's capture-a-snippet-of- the-screen utility. But it seems better (IMHO) to just use the original graphic, if readily available. Where in my oXygen/ directory would I find the icons? (I'm looking in version 16 either in Mac OS X or in GNU/Linux -- I don't have easy access to a Windows machine w/ oXygen.) (And yes, I use version 17, but this documentation is aimed at users of v 16. :-) Thanks.

25 Jun '15

Hi group Is there an easy way in oXygen 17 to select the first row in a table and make that row a "heading row" (thead)? <feature_request> I think it would be nice to have some kind of content menu command which says: "Transform to heading row".</feature_request> Thanks -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu

DITA workshops using oXygen XML Editor
by George Bina 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hi all, Comtech Services, the company that organizes the DITA North America and DITA Europe conferences organizes also a number of DITA workshops and they use oXygen XML Editor to complete the different exercises, so these workshops may be a good opportunity to learn DITA and the oXygen DITA functionality. Here it is a description from Comtech Services of available workshops: *** DITA Getting Started: July 21-22 in Wakefield, MA This workshop is designed as an introduction to Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA). During the workshop you will learn to design and create information using a topic/task-based structured-authoring approach. You will also learn how to use XML markup with DITA elements and the importance of the DITA elements to information development. Optimizing the DITA Authoring Experience: July 23-24 in Wakefield, MA In this workshop, you are guided through the process of customizing your authoring environment using each of the following technologies: shells, specializations, constraints, templates, subject scheme maps, and publishing scenarios. With ample time for applying what you have learned, you will leave the workshop with the necessary tools to optimize the authoring experience for your authoring team. Advanced Publishing for DITA: August 3-7 in San Jose, CA In this workshop, attendees are provided a walk-through of the essential DITA fundamentals, programming skills, and DITA Open Toolkit configurations required to assemble, style, and publish DITA XML source. After a brief overview of the DITA framework, course lectures and exercises will focus on the key pieces of a DITA publishing architecture, how to set it up, and how to optimize its publishing capabilities using customizations and plug-ins. Attendees will learn to set up a publishing architecture using the pipeline provided by the DITA-OT and learn how to configure and debug the DITA-OT. For more information visit Comtech Services web site at http://comtech-serv.com/url/upcoming or contact Comtach Services at 303-232-7586. *** Best Regards, George -- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com

Plain '<' and '>' in reported Schematron messages?
by Tony Graham 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

Is there a way to un-escape '<' and '>' in the messages reported from Schematron validation? For example, this <report>: <report test="local-name($expression) = 'Empty'" role="Warning">'background-color=""' should be '<color> | transparent | inherit'.</report> produces: 'background-color=""' should be '<color> | transparent | inherit'. but the message in the 'Errors' window would be easier to read if it was: 'background-color=""' should be '<color> | transparent | inherit'.

Add static function name list for auto-completion in XQuery
by Florent Georges 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hi, Is there any way, in oXygen, to augment the list of function names to use for auto-completion when in an XQuery editor? Basically, a processor can add any function to the static context. So some functions can be called in a module (so should be available for code completion), even with no corresponding import statement. I have such a list of extra functions I would like to be available in oXygen when I write XQuery code (not to be evaluated, just for writing code). The ideal solution woud not require having any specific scenario nor processor "attached" to the file. Is this possible? Regards, -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/http://h2oconsulting.be/
