xproc vs xslt
by Patrik.Stellmann＠gdv-dl.de 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

Hi, after some (more or less successful) experiments with xproc I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to implement everything in xslt and add the missing steps (for instance fop and schematron validation) as custom extension elements written in java. My argumentation: - Calling xslt from xproc you can only use string parameters (trying to fill in for instance a boolean parameter will result in conversion error) - The integration of xslt into oxygen "feels" much more advanced than that of xproc. - Direct output of messages from xslt (for debugging and logging with a link to the code that caused the output). (Running an xslt from xproc the xslt messages are not visible at all.) - I will have to add some custom extension written in java anyway. (So learning how to do it will be necessary in both cases.) Does anyone have more experience with xproc and could maybe add some arguments for or against xproc? Thanks and regards, Patrik GDV Dienstleistungs-GmbH & Co.

oXygen users meetup @ XML Prague
by George Bina 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Hi all, If you plan to attend XML Prague next week please consider joining us at the oXygen users meetup in the pre-conference day: http://oxygenxml.com/events/2015/oXygen-user-meetup-Prague.html The oXygen meetup is collocated with Saxonica users meetup so the day starts with a Saxon session where you can meet Michael Kay and other Saxonica developers, find the current status of Saxonica products and ask questions about Saxon. We follow with 2 very interesting sessions, in the first one Radu Pisoi will cover possibilities to refactor XML using XSLT and XQuery updates as technology but though an easy to use interface and Octavian Nadolu will show quick fixes for XSLT and XML, including Schematron Quick Fixes where we have invited also Nico Kutscherauer who initiated the Schematron Quick Fixes idea. After lunch, we have another guest, Claudius Teodorescu, who will present an interesting way of creating oXygen frameworks - a project that allows defining frameworks with XQuery + HTML + CSS and then it generates all the oXygen specific configuration files. Alex Jitianu will show how to create user-friendly interfaces to authoring XML documents where the document itself becomes the entire user interface and he will also preview some of the new functionality that will be available in the next release of oXygen. In the last part of the day I will show you where we are now with the web-based editing that we introduced last year at XML Prague - the oXygen WebApp and we will close the day with an open panel where you can see what are our plans for the future and ask the oXygen developers any questions you may have about oXygen. I am looking forward to meeting many of you there! Please register for the meetup at: http://oxygenxml.com/events/2015/oXygen-user-meetup-Prague.html#prague2015_… Best Regards, George -- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com

Webhelp ToC Icons
by Steve Bass 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

Does anyone have a suggestion on the "best" way to modify artifacts (xsl, js, css, others) so that we can have a unique icon image for DocBook elements: book, chapter, sect1, sect, 2, sect3 ... instead of open/closed books? Hopefully in a manner where we don't have to customize the shipping artifacts. We're using oXygen 16.1. --Steve Bass Washington Publishing Company

Separate colour for external parsed entity 'tags' in 'Author' mode?
by Tony Graham 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

Would you consider supporting a separate colour for the indicative 'tags' for the start and end of an external parsed entity that are shown when viewing all tags in 'Author' mode? The background does change, and there is the rather small icon, but there are sometimes three or more tags (real and indicative, combined) on the lines at the start and end of an external parsed entity.

Drop-down list of recently used DITAVAL files?
by Richard Forster 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

Hello Oxygen Team Is there an easy way of accessing recently used DITAVAL files in the transformation scenario settings? It would be great if the Filters tab of the transformation scenario settings had e.g. a drop-downlist next to the "Use DITAVAL file" box that would allow me to select from the last 10 or 12 DITAVAL files that I had been using. Or something similar... Thanks for considering!

Oxygen 16.1 - Marklogic debugging scenarios
by Frank Mortier 07 Jan '15

07 Jan '15

Dear all: I acquired Friday Oxygen 16.1 in order to debug a Marklogic application. I have encountered the same problem as Jacob in http://www.oxygenxml.com/pipermail/oxygen-user/2013-June/004698.html. The ML application uses the xqmvc framework whereby the main file is index.xqy, but the routing is provided by another module xqmvc.xqy, importing controller files which import modules. See e.g.: http://www.marklogic.com/blog/founders-online-lesson-performance/ and https://code.google.com/p/xqmvc/ I have been unsuccessfully testing various debugging scenarios yesterday, amongst others including all xqy files. I was also not able to debug a module in the basic framework. Related: what is the difference between using a validation scenario or a transformation scenario. I notice a difference between the documentation and the demo at http://www.oxygenxml.com/demo/XQueryDebuggerforMarkLogic.html Any suggestions? Frank

View Final + Comments?
by Tony Graham 07 Jan '15

07 Jan '15

'Track Changes' is good, and being able to select 'View Final' is good, but there's times when I want to 'view final' but also be able to see comments. Is there an option that will let me 'view final' but also see the comments that are managed by the 'Track Changes' feature? Regards, Tony Graham. -- Senior Architect XML Division Antenna House, Inc. ---- Skerries, Ireland tgraham(a)antenna.co.jp
