Hello
I've got several questions that are mostly UI related:
- When we split screen while editing, how can we open different files within each sub-screen? I know that works as it occurred accidentally while I was dragging a file tab, but I cannot re-produce it.
As I understand it, the feature called "Split screen" is only for splitting a single file buffer. As you noticed, you can split the screen between two files by having both of them open, then dragging one of their tabs toward the far side of the window where you want the new subwindow to go. You have to drag it pretty far. When you start dragging, there will be a gray highlight box showing the area where that file will be displayed. When you've dragged far enough, you'll see the gray highlight box change to a new area, e.g. the top, right side or the bottom.
- Can we have multiple project files *.xpr opened and presented within the project/file pane on the left? Advantage: When we switch project using Project > Re-open, one must save the current project files, and then open the other project files as needed. With multiple project trees, it's simpler to relate across files from each.
I've wanted this too sometimes. The only thing I know of is to "Link to External Folders" (the same folders) in each project.
- There probably should be a way to validate *.xsl files since there is an XSL (1.0) DTD.
XSLT cannot be validated by DTD in principle, because it allows arbitrary literal result elements. (You could validate a subset if you disallow LRE's.) However, Oxygen validates XSLT very well using an XSLT processor (see below).
When I try to validate I get an error msg that JAXP isn't installed.
"The transformer JAXP is not present! Please install it in the folder: file:/C:/Program Files/Oxygen XML Editor 8.2/lib/"
When you try to validate XSLT stylesheets, Oxygen uses the settings at Options / Preferences / XML / XSLT-FO-XQuery / XSLT. What setting do you have for "XSLT 1.0 validate with"... JAXP? You might try changing it to Saxon 6.5.5 or Xalan. I don't use JAXP there so I don't know what it takes to make it work. Lars
- Anyone has links to multiple output extension XSL elements when Saxon or Xalan are used for transformation to HTML (analogous to the <xt:document)?
- Soren: any plans of introducing a "tagged" view in the next release, in addition to "Text" and "Grid"?
- I'm not familiar with Eclipse and I currently use the standalone oXygen version. But I believe Eclipse must have Ant installed, so would this be of help for editing and executing Ant build files for DITA on the same platform? I'm not sure, otherwise, if Oxygen built-in transformers (e.g. Saxon 6.5.5) can be use with a 'standalone' Ant version, or would one in this case need to install the processor separately?
Many thanks Khaled
