Hi David, To clarify things, this behavior happens only in the Author page (and when the default namespace declaration is located before the prefixed namespace declaration). In the Text page the content completion proposes elements without prefix no matter how the two declarations appear on the root element. We'll try to fix the behavior in the Author page, possibly in Oxygen v14.

Hi there, I'd like to report an annoyance in oXygen involving namespace prefixes in the element list. If you have a DocBook file that declares the following namespaces:

<book xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" xmlns:db="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0" xml:id="os-cs-devguide"> ...

Then every DocBook element in the element list will be prefixed with db:. If you remove the xmlns:db="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook". It would be better if oXygen in this situation just ignored the xmlns:db declaration and displayed the DocBook elements in the element list with no prefix.

I currently tell the writers to remove the declaration, but the whole issue confuses them. The problem is that we have developers who prefer to use emacs or whatever and have the habit of creating files with a bunch of namespaces, whether they need them or not (see example below). I haven't been able to break them of this habit.

<book xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:db="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0" xml:id="os-cs-devguide">
