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.

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/

Using fonts in Oxygen Author mode
by scott ashmead 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

Hi, I've installed some fonts for some foreign languages. When I view content in the Oxygen editor in "Author" mode, the characters appear as squares instead of the foreign language characters. Can you please tell me what would be needed to have the correct characters display in the editor instead of squares? These are fonts for ancient languages such as Syriac. Thank you for your help!Scott

Validating CSS
by David Birnbaum 27 May '15

27 May '15

Dear Alex (cc oxygen-user list), Thank you for the quick response. I wonder whether it might be possible to use checkboxes instead of a single selection, so that users could combine profiles selectively according to their specific needs. I also wonder, though, about the possibility of associating a CSS profile in <oXygen/> with a specific CSS stylesheet document, that is, at finer granularity than is available through project-level or global preferences. I have a project that uses multiple stylesheets, some that contain just HTML5 selectors and some that mix HTML5 selectors with SVG selectors. I can put those stylesheets in different projects and specify different CSS profiles that way, but they really belong in the same project for other reasons, and in the non-SVG CSS files I'd want to raise an error if, for example, I specify a "width" value as a non-zero number without a unit of measurement, although that wouldn't be an error in an SVG context. This organization would be analogous to having different schemas for different XML documents in the project; here there would be different CSS profiles for different CSS documents in the project. I realize that there are other complications (e.g., validating inline or otherwise embedded CSS within an XML document), though, so I'm not sure how practical this idea would turn out to be. Best, David > Currently there is no solution to this problem. I will ad an issue to > find a solution to such a situation.

Validating CSS
by David Birnbaum 25 May '15

25 May '15

Dear <oXygen/> user list, I have an HTML5 document (XML syntax) with inline SVG and I'd like to associate a single external stylesheet with it that specifies both CSS3 and SVG properties. The <oXygen/> documentation at http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/17.0/ug-author/index.html#topics/pref…, which matches what I see in my configuration options, seems willing to allow me to select CSS3 or SVG, but not both simultaneously. Is there a way to obtain the sort of validation I'm looking for? I can choose CSS3 in the option menu and ignore the error messages for the SVG properties, but I'd rather have the benefit of validating both. Thanks, David
