Author Mode - CSS style(s) in effect
... subtitled: Why is <aff> generating a blank line in my display? When viewing an XML document instance in a browser such as Chrome, I can view the document in developer mode which allows me to select a portion of the document in the display area and then, in the lower section of the webpage, view the markup source as well as the CSS that has been applied. In oXygen, I can see anything and everything about the XML markup (and choose exactly what information I'd like displayed in the side frames), but I can't see exactly what CSS rules are being triggered for any particular element in context, making stylesheet development and debugging cumbersome. I can view the same document in a browser and use the development tools as an aid (basically switching back and forth from browser to oXygen), but in one particular situation (which I now find myself in) the browser display is fine but oXygen is doing something funky and for the life of me I have no idea why. Is my head buried into the sand so deep that I'm missing something in the view menu that will display the CSS? If not, has this feature been requested in the past? And if not, please consider this a new feature request. Mary P McRae XML Strategist and Technical Project Manager, IQ Solutions
Hi Mary: Is there a CSS declaration for 'aff'? If not there may be a default declaration that is causing the blank line. Betty

Hi Betty, Yes, as well as a second, more explicit declaration. The part that is killing me is that it looks just fine in Chrome.

Hi Mary, It is always a possibility that the same XML + CSS is rendered differently in a web browser than in the Oxygen Author visual editing mode. Oxygen has its own engine used to display XML + CSS so differences may arise.

Yes, thanks Radu - I understand the differences (and different browsers have varying levels of support - it's just that I can't see what CSS rules are firing in oXygen. I'm packing everything up and sending it over to support to see if they can help. Thanks again!

Hello Mary, Unfortunately we don't yet have a "CSS Inspector"view. But we do have an already registered request for such a feature. I've added your vote for it and you will be notified when it gets implemented. Meanwhile, the culprit could be a padding or a margin property. You could try and write a more powerful rule to override these properties. If you can send us an XML and CSS sample (or an entire framework) on our support email address (support@oxygenxml.com), we could try and look for the problem CSS rule too.

Alex et al. If oXygen divides its new CSS panel by CSS subsection and only shows a view that part of the CSS specification where the current CSS is located and provides a pull-down to fill-in the variables, oXygen has a very powerful word-processor that conforms to an open file standard, EPUB. This would be superior to both Microsoft Word and Adobe FrameMaker! The CSS subsections that I am referring to are body, page, paragraph, link, character etc. This means that the CSS file would have to be ordered, which is good. Robert (Bob) C. Leif, Ph.D. P.S.

Hello Mary, The problem is related with the fact that element sig-block is MIXED. Because of that, when loaded in author, a space character remains at its end. This space character is the one introducing a new line. To mark that space as insignificant, you can add one of the following CSS rules: sig-block { white-space:-oxy-trim-when-ws-only; } or sig-block *{ display:block ; } For the second rule to work, you must go to Preferences->Options..., page Editor / Edit modes / Author / Schema aware and make sure "Indent blocks-only content" is checked (although by default it is checked).
