Non-breaking spaces in fragments via framework
Dear mailinglist members, this might be a trivial problem, but even after a longer research I haven't found a solution to it. I try to insert a non-breaking space via a button created by a framework. I use the following code within an <action>: <actionMode> <field name="xpathCondition"> <String></String> </field> <field name="argValues"> <serializableOrderedMap> <entry> <String>text</String> *<String>{CODE_FOR_THE_NON-BREAKING_SPACE}</String>* </entry> </serializableOrderedMap> </field> <field name="operationID"> <String>ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.InsertOrReplaceTextOperation</String> </field> </actionMode> I added a placeholder CODE_FOR_THE_NON-BREAKING_SPACE above to show you were I want to fill in my non-breaking space. I tried which caused my whole framework to NOT be read by Oxygen XML Author. I tried which just created a regular space. I tried   which just created exactly these characters as a string in my XML document. I tried several other things which all didn't work. What do I have to put between my opening and closing <String> tags? Thanks in advance and kind regards Christian Achter

Are you sure? At the bottom bar you can see Unicode code for character under the caret. Normal space is U+0020 and non-breaking U+00A0.

I'm putting here directly encoded non-breaking space, but should work same. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jirka Kosek e-mail: jirka@kosek.cz http://xmlguru.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------ Professional XML and Web consulting and training services DocBook/DITA customization, custom XSLT/XSL-FO document processing ------------------------------------------------------------------ Bringing you XML Prague conference http://xmlprague.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you Jirka for your explanation, that was very helpful. I never realized the bottom bar of Oxygen XML Author telling me the Unicode code for the current character. When you say /"//I'm putting here directly encoded non-breaking space//"/ which code sequence are you using instead of ? Btw I made an interesting experience. My framework now writes a into my XML file. When I switch from Author to Text mode, this is not written in the text, it just looks like a "regular" space. But the bottom bar says it is a U+00A0. So everything is fine except the visual representation in the text. When I close the XML file and open it again in text mode, there is suddenly a displayed. So everything is even better after reopening the file. Thanks and kind regards Christian Am 05.12.19 um 22:11 schrieb Jirka Kosek:

You can use character map to insert character directly or depending on operating system used you can use keyboar shortcut. In Windows you can type 0160 while holding Alt key to enter non-breaking space directly. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jirka Kosek e-mail: jirka@kosek.cz http://xmlguru.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------ Professional XML and Web consulting and training services DocBook/DITA customization, custom XSLT/XSL-FO document processing ------------------------------------------------------------------ Bringing you XML Prague conference http://xmlprague.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Christian, Please see some suggestions below:
I tried which caused my whole framework to NOT be read by Oxygen XML Author.
The " " is an entity reference. If your XML document does not refer to a DTD which defines this entity reference. Also you should use the "ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.InsertOrReplaceFragmentOperation" operation to insert the entity reference. But whatever operation I'm using I cannot reproduce the part with the framework not being read by Oxygen XML Author. Are you manually making changes to the ".framework" file or are you using Oxygen's document type edit dialog for this?
I tried which just created a regular space.
Again, try to use the "InsertOrReplaceFragmentOperation" instead of "InsertOrReplaceTextOperation". As Jirka said, you can also use Oxygen's status bar to look at the hexadecimal equivalent of the character Regards, Radu Radu Coravu <oXygen/> XML Editor http://www.oxygenxml.com On 12/5/2019 5:39 PM, Christian Achter wrote:

Dear Radu thanks for your feedback. I am editing my .framework files manually. I stick to the InsertOrReplaceTextOperation because it works now and it is basically easier to handle: It automatically inserts the non-breaking space where the cursor is. I tried the InsertOrReplaceFragmentOperation in this case which has more parameters and my non-breaking space stranded somewhere in the document which felt a bit unexpected. So I stick to InsertOrReplaceTextOperation. Thanks and kind regards Christian Am 06.12.19 um 06:49 schrieb Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu):
