Hi Last fall we did a large evaluation of HTML- and XML-editors with WebDAV-support, and sent you a feature request for secure webdav support, and we're happy that you have implemented this. I'm currently evaluating the oXygen editor, and is testing oXygen 4.0 under Mac OS X 10.3.3. I have a few questions about the transformation scenarios. I have used the xslt debugger to make an xslt stylesheet that does an XML2XML transformation. I want to convert a number of XML-documents that use a dtd to a new document structure using an XML schema. I have read the oXygen user guide, used the help system (which seems to be the same) and browsed through your mailing list archive and forum. After trying and failing a bit, the use of the transformation scenario and the use of macros is still unclear to me. I was hoping it would be possible to configure a transformation scenario to do a batch conversion, but I can't se how to do this. I hope you can tell me if this is possible, and how. Basically I want to do the following: Source files: file:/originalDocuments/*.xml XSLT: conversionRules.xsl Output: file:/convertedDocuments/${cfn}Converted.xml The use of the macro ${cfn}Converted would mean that a document with original name dok1.xml would be renamed doc1Converted.xml. Feedback and feature request: ------------------------------------------ (This is my personal feedback and feature requests, not connected to the evaluation I'm doing.) In the user guide you write that there are two types of scenarios: - applying to XML-files - applying to XSL-files It actually took a little time to figure out that the only way to change the type of scenario was to select a differt type of document as the active document. (to change between an xsl or xml document as the active document) Why not make only one "configure transformation scenario"-window which did not depend on the context? (With context I mean the dependence of the active selected document type.) To me the two types of scenarios just reflect two perspectives when working on a conversion. I think it would make much more sense to assume that for a transformation you will always need to specify the following: - a source (XML) - a transformation (XSL) - an output The source: ---------------- It should be possible to choose either an open document, a URI or a macro. It should be possible to specify a directory for batch processing of many files. The transformation -------------------------- It should be possible to choose either an open document or a URI to the XSL document. The output --------------- It should be possible to choose either - to open the resulting document in the editor - to specity a save URI - to specify a macro. It should be possible to specify an output directory and changes in filename for batch processing of many files. Best Regards, Are D.
