import order for docbook parameters: who wins?
by Robert Nagle 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

When you configure a docbook transformation, you can use the Parameters dialog to set the values for a parameter. Or you can set it in a customization layer in C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Author 16\frameworks\docbook\xsl\fo\docbook_custom.xsl My question is: which takes precedence? Can I assume that the values in docbook_custom.xsl will always override a value in the parameter dialogue box? Suppose the default value for some parameter value is "no" but I use the parameter dialog to change it to "yes", At the same time in docbook_custom.xsl I hard code it to "no". Who wins? -- Robert Nagle 6121 Winsome Ln #56C, Houston TX 77057-5581 (Cell) 832-251-7522 Carbon Neutral Since Jan 2010

Hi everybody, I have a question regarding DITA profiling and the DITA maps manager. Is there a way I could display profiling attributes set at topic level (not in the map) in the DITA map manager ?

Repeat fo:table-caption for a table that spans multiple pages question
by Coe, David E 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

How can I repeat the fo:table-caption for a table that spans multiple pages and add "- Continued" at the end of the table-caption on the subsequent pages. The tools I use are Oxygen Editor 16 as my XML editor and Arbortext Editor 6.1 to publish to PDF using its XSL-FO processor. Arbortext XSL-FO processor is equal to or slightly better than Apache FOP. At this time, I do not have the option to use a different FO processor. I prefer to try to solve it through XSLT and XSL-FO since I have more time and understanding invested in it, instead trying to learn how to create a FOSI file in Arbortext - I love learning but it takes time and deadlines seem to come too quickly. XSLT is fairly new to me and I am still learning; please forgive my ignorance if I stated something incorrectly in that regard. I am restricted to customer-provided DTD and XSL files even though I can modify the XSLT to solve a particular issue like I posed. It is my understanding that the XSL code implements the XSLT 2.0 and XSL-FO 1.1 standards. Fo:retrieve-table-marker is not supported by these processors. I have tried the various methods of using fo:retrieve-marker that I have found through several forums but I was not successful in solving this specific problem even though I did learn new stuff which allowed me to get this far. The best I was able to do was use fo:retrieve-marker for table caption in a static-content area but it repeats the table-caption on every page in the page header instead of displaying directly above the table. Below is my code snippet:  <xsl:template match="/"> <fo:root> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master page-width="8.5in" page-height="11in" master-name="first"> <fo:region-body margin-right="1in" margin-left="1in" margin-bottom="1in" margin-top="1in" /> <fo:region-before extent=".5in" /> <fo:region-after extent=".5in" /> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <fo:page-sequence master-reference="first"> <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before"> <fo:table-caption> <fo:block font-weight="bold" text-align="center">  <fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="table-caption-continued" retrieve-position="first-starting-within-page" /> </fo:block> </fo:table-caption> </fo:static-content> <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after"> <fo:block text-align="center"> <fo:page-number /> </fo:block> </fo:static-content> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body" font-family="sans-serif"> <xsl:apply-templates /> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="table"> <fo:table-and-caption> <fo:block>  <fo:marker marker-class-name="table-caption-continued"> <xsl:apply-templates select="title" /> </fo:marker> </fo:block> <fo:block> <fo:marker marker-class-name="table-caption-continued"> <xsl:apply-templates select="title" /> - Continued </fo:marker> </fo:block> <fo:table width="100%" table-layout="fixed"> <fo:table-column column-width="50%" /> <fo:table-column column-width="50%" /> <fo:table-header> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell border="solid"> <fo:block font-weight="bold"> <xsl:apply-templates select="tgroup/thead/row/entry[1]" /> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell border="solid"> <fo:block font-weight="bold"> <xsl:apply-templates select="tgroup/thead/row/entry[2]" /> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> </fo:table-header> <fo:table-body> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell border="solid"> <fo:block> <xsl:apply-templates select="tgroup/tbody/row[1]/entry[1]" /> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell border="solid"> <fo:block> <xsl:apply-templates select="tgroup/tbody/row[1]/entry[2]" /> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> <fo:table-body> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell border="solid"> <fo:block> <xsl:apply-templates select="tgroup/tbody/row[2]/entry[1]" /> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell border="solid"> <fo:block> <xsl:apply-templates select="tgroup/tbody/row[2]/entry[2]" /> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> ... </fo:table-body> </fo:table> </fo:table-and-caption> </xsl:template> I appreciate any assistance in trying to solve this problem.

Grammar checker and style checker plugins for oXygen
by Mike Unwalla 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

Hello, LanguageTool is a grammar checker and style checker (www.languagetool.org) You can integrate LanguageTool with oXygen (http://sourceforge.net/p/languagetool/mailman/message/32436496/) A term checker (www.simplified-english.co.uk) for Simplified Technical English (STE), specification ASD-STE100 (www.asd-ste100.org) uses LanguageTool. Thus, you can use the STE term checker with oXygen. Related article: www.oxygenxml.com/forum/topic10675.html. Regards, Mike Unwalla Contact: www.techscribe.co.uk/techw/contact.htm

HTML5 transformation
by Peter West 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

I'm transforming EPUB2 files to xhtml5 for EPUB3. Here's the beginning of one of the EPUB2 files. <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Personal Knowledge: Towards a Post-Critical Philosophy</title> <meta content="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> ... </head> My xsl file has, inter alia, this: <xsl:output method="xhtml" html-version="5"/> When I do the transform, I get html5 output, including the meta element, like so: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Personal Knowledge: Towards a Post-Critical Philosophy</title> ... </head> Oxygen and Jing do not like http-equiv="Content-Type" Uh-uh, no way. They want Default-Style or Refresh, and nothing else will do. I went through every contortion I could think of to recast teh meta element, to no avail. I could generate a second meta element, but I could not get rid of the original meta. I was as though that meta was hard coded into the html5 transformer. So I have two questions. Is it possible to circumvent the copy of the existing head subelements, including meta? Why is the xslt so stubborn about http-equiv="Content-Type", when the validation rejects it for html5?

OSX: Using Java 7 With Oxygen
by Eliot Kimber 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

I have just updated my OS X system to Java 7. I get Java 7 as the java version from the command line: contrext01:DITA-OT ekimber$ java -version java version "1.7.0_65" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_65-b17) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode) And I was able to configure Eclipse to use the Java 7 runtime. However, Oxygen is still using the Java 6 JRE and I can't see how to change it. The instructions in the help that specify using the Java Preferences utility are out of date as that utility is no longer provided by Apple and the Oracle Java preferences doesn't show anything except the Java 7 runtime. If I look at the system properties in the About Oxygen all the java-related properties reflect Java 6, not Java 7, but I don't see any place that these are actually being set (not in my .bashrc, not in the Oxygen app plist files). What do I do to get Oxygen to use the 1.7 JRE? Thanks, E. ————— Eliot Kimber, Owner Contrext, LLC http://contrext.com

XSLT keys in the outline view
by Wendell Piez 25 Jul '14

Hi, I can't remember why key declarations are not included in the XSLT outline view, and in any case wonder whether this could not be revisited. What was the reason again?
