Re: [oXygen-user] [OXYGEN-14931] How to tell Oxygen to abort loading a large XML file?

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Roger,

When you open such a large file in Oxygen, it should allow you to open 
in huge file editing mode, so maybe the next time you can pick this option:


https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/26.1/ug-editor/topics/huge-file-editor.html

Or you can try increasing Oxygen's maximum allowed memory:

https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/26.1/ug-editor/topics/increase-memory.html

Right now Oxygen is probably in an out of memory state, so you should 
probably kill it. Oxygen saves auto recovery info for all opened files 
once every 5 minutes by default, so if you re-open Oxygen and then 
re-open that other XML file which was not saved, Oxygen should prompt 
you to use the auto recovery info for it.


Regards,

Radu

Hi Folks,

I dragged and dropped a large (167MB) file into Oxygen. I have another 
memory-intensive operation (which I can't stop) going on at the same time, so 
Oxygen is taking a long time to load the XML file. It's been 15 minutes thus 
far and the file is still not loaded. I would like to tell Oxygen that I've 
changed my mind, don't load it. But Oxygen is completely unresponsive.

Is there any way, aside from killing the task (and losing all the changes I 
made but weren't saved), to get Oxygen to abort loading the file?

Re: [oXygen-user] Add full stop to list item in Reusable content

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Judith,

As  is a block-like visual element maybe you could use conref> and define the reusable content as  elements instead.


In general maybe such a style guide could be better implemented in the 
publishing customization part, in this way you could more naturally 
reuse entire  elements and rely on the publishing customization to 
add that extra "." if missing in the last .

Hi All,

I was wondering if there’s a way to add a full stop to the final list

but each manual may use different list items. Therefore, the final

only the final list item should have a full stop, it’s quite difficult 
to manage this list. Is there a way to add a full stop to the end of a 
list item outside the reusable content?


I tried putting the list items in both  and   elements, but 
then the full stop is placed on a new line in the output PDF:

Re: [oXygen-user] [OXYGEN-14072] Add custom catalog to OT build

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Scott,

As you seem to have a custom DITA OT installation inside your custom 
framework, why don't you also use it as a default engine for publishing 
in the Oxygen Preferences->DITA page?


Other than that, the DITA OT needs to have a plugin containing extra 
catalogs (or as a hack you need to manually make changes to the 
"catalog-dita.xml" inside the DITA OT). There is no possibility to 
enforce an extra set of XML catalogs from the exterior when  starting 
the DITA OT. At some point I wished there was such a way:


https://github.com/dita-ot/dita-ot/issues/1515

Also Jarno Elovirta experimented at some point with a way to install 
plugins in the DITA OT without the need to change any files in the DITA 
OT folder itself, this pull request was abandoned though:


https://github.com/dita-ot/dita-ot/pull/3152

the "built-in" OT, so when I set up a transformation scenario for the 
Oxygen OT target, it starts to work, but fails when it can't find the 
custom DTD.


When I add a pointer from [OXYGEN]/org.dita.base/catalog-dita.xml that 
references my custom catalog, the build completes fine. BUT .. I don't 
want to modify the default Oxygen installation files.


Some thoughts ..

- I don't think there's a param that I can add to the transformation 
scenario to reference my custom catalog .. is there?


- I've tried adding my catalog in Settings > XML > XML Catalog .. but 
that didn't seem to have any affect.


Is there any way to add a custom catalog without editing the default 
Oxygen files?


Currently using Oxygen 25.1.

Re: [oXygen-user] [OXYGEN-13754] QuickFix and DITA default attributes

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hello Jirka,

As usually default attributes appear on elements in the Schematron 
schema and there is no way to know if they have been set in the schema 
or directly on the XML element.


You can use a template to filter out the class attribute, something 
similar to this older forum thread:

Hi,

I'm creating few small "refactoring actions" using Schematron and 
QuickFix for DITA in oXygen. It works except that default attributes 
are being copied when some element is copied using QuickFix. For 
example the following QuickFix



    
    sqf:fix="wrap-image">Image is misplaced and not 
enclosed by a figure.


  
    
  Move image into adjacent figure.
    
    
    
    select="$image"/>

  

    
  

Will move image



as

placement="inline" 
xmlns:ditaarch="http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/"/>


I understand that this is perhaps because QuickFix is internally 
implemented as XSLT transformation so default attributes are loaded 
from DTD during the parsing. I can live with added @class and 
@placement, but xmlns:ditaarch namespace declaration instantly 
triggers validation error in oXygen which is inconvenient? Is this 
something you can fix in next releases?


For now I've workaround that is using XSLT for performing QuickFix 
action and uses  and I intentionally do 
not copy @class attribute. But QuickFix is much more concise.


Thanks and have a nice day,

Hello Judith,

An internal link inside a reused component should look like this:


    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Paragraph 
    
    

So:



That "#." part is called a self link, there are some examples of it here:

https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/1.3/specs/langRef/base/xref.html

So the "" should properly resolve in the 
HTML/PDF no matter where the entire reusable component will be used.


But this depends also on the publishing offered by Ixiasoft which we 
do not control.


About how you can insert "" constructs, 
Ixiasoft in general allows only inserting keyref links but in this 
case such a relative href link would need to be inserted in order for 
the link to work. If Ixiasoft's Oxygen integration does not offer you 
the way to insert such a link in the Author page, you can try to 
insert it in the Text editing mode and ask Ixiasoft to take such an 
use case into account for a future version.


About this remark:

Do  you offer DITA or Oxygen courses for technical authors who
would like to learn a bit more about how these kind of things work?

We do not offer training/courses. Even if we would, it would not help 
you much because you are using Oxygen with Ixiasoft which controls 
what actions and functionality the editor offers, the workflows are 
controlled by the CMS.


The DITA 1.3 specification is quite an useful set of resources about 
what the DITA standard can and cannot do.


We also have a set of videos for learning DITA with Oxygen (but they 
are with Oxygen desktop which has more functionality than the Oxygen 
products which are embedded and customized by Ixiasoft):

Re: [oXygen-user] [OXYGEN-12987] Need help with a Schematron rule

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Frank,


About the "access denied" problem, we seem to have fixed it in an Oxygen 
26.1 minor bug fix release:


https://www.oxygenxml.com/build_history.html?build_id=2024012406

*Security/Schematron:* Fixed an issue regarding the validation of 
Schematron documents when such files were created or saved in a 
location considered not safe.
So maybe you can re-download and re-install Oxygen 26.1. In the Oxygen 
main menu Help->About dialog besides the version you can also find the 
build ID information as from time to time we release newer builds of the 
same version to fix more severe problems.

Re: [oXygen-user] excluding conref source files from search results

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Peter,

In general it's a best practice to refer all DITA resources in your DITA 
Map, including topics which only contain reusable content.


For such topics one would usually set this processing-role attribute on 
the topicref:




A resource only topic automatically does not appear in the TOC and 
should also not be indexed by our WebHelp search engine. So in a way 
this would be the equivalent of setting the TOC=no and Search=no attributes.

When both topics are chunked, only the internal/contained links in the

If I "unchunk" both or even just one of the topics, then the

Re: [oXygen-user] [OXYGEN-10249] ANT transformation scenarios .. ?

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hello Scott,

I think this is a bug which I fixed in our code about a month or two 
ago, Oxygen 26 should no longer have this bug so you can give it a try.


Probably we'll also release an Oxygen 25.1 minor bug fix release 
containing this bug fix and a couple of other bug fixes as well in a 
couple of weeks.

If I open a framework in O25 that was created in O23, I can edit

Re: [oXygen-user] [OXYGEN-10021] Read only section of Xml

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Karl,

What XML vocabulary are you using? DITA, DocBook, TEI, something else?

Are you editing the XML content in the Text mode or in the Author visual 
editor mode?


When editing XML in the Author visual editor mode you have a specific 
CSS property which can be set to prohibit editing in certain elements:


https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/26.0/ug-editor/topics/dg-editable-css-extension.html

If you are editing XML in the Text mode, it gets more complicated, you 
would need to build some kind of Oxygen Java based plugin which 
prohibits editing in certain places...

Hello Group!

I'm wondering if there is a way to markup a section of xml as readonly

making changes within this section.


Scenario is simple.  You have current content in some Xml node and 
then you stash historical content in some other Xml node that you 
intend to keep around but not to edit.


This would be useful to me because I'll take the current information 
in my Xml and stuff it into the historical section of my Xml as I roll 
into a new season.  The issue I am having is accidentally changing 
content in the historical section of my Xml but I intended to make 
those changes in the current Xml node.


This is not mission critical, but would be a nice feature.

Hi Scott,

If you just configure using the CSS a combo box to edit the values of an 
attribute, by default those values will be gathered either from the DTDs 
(if you have defined a choice of values for the attribute in the DTDs) 
or from our content completion configuration file which can use XSLT to 
gather values from another location. Maybe this blog post by my

Re: [oXygen-user] [OXYGEN-9425] Association Rules in frameworks

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Scott,

The "DITATopicCustomRuleMatcher" java class is where the magic happens :)

It's quite hard to identify a DITA topic or map, it could use the base 
public IDs or it could refer to specialization DTDs, it could have 
various root element names, but the "DITATopicCustomRuleMatcher" Java 
class looks at various default attributes specified in the DTD like the 
"ditaarch:DITAArchVersion" attribute to decide if an opened XML document 
is actually a DITA topic or map.


https://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Editor/SDK/javadoc/ro/sync/ecss/extensions/dita/topic/DITATopicCustomRuleMatcher.html#matches(java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,org.xml.sax.Attributes)

So with this extra rule added at the end of all other rules, our base 
"DITA" and "DITA Map" frameworks will be applied on any kind of 
specialized DITA XML topic or map, without the end user having to create 
a special DITA framework extension to match their type of documents.


But once people start to create DITA framework extensions (like you do) 
for special DTD public ID, this extra rule placed at the end would no 
longer be necessary to you because you know that your topics and maps 
refer to specific DTDs. So I think it's correct that you are only using 
some very specific association rules in your DITA framework 
customization which no longer include our "DITATopicCustomRuleMatcher" 
class.


About this behavior:

but I think I'm seeing that after I remove all but the necessary rules 
from a particular framework, after some time, additional rules are 
added. When I close and save the framework, sometime later I go back 
and there are rules that match on Root Local Name .. concept, task, 
reference, etc. .. I'd swear I didn't add those. Do I have gremlins, 
or is this a feature? 
This would be a bug, but we would need some way to consistently 
reproduce it.

Re: [oXygen-user] [OXYGEN-8414] Refactoring functionality

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hello Judith,

Please see some answers below:

A somewhat related question. When I export xml files from Eclipse, 
this ‘ixia_locid’ attribute is added to certain elements. Is there a 
way to add this ‘personalised’ attribute to the attribute list? Then I 
won’t get these errors (hopefully).


This attribute is not part of the DITA specification, so Oxygen is right 
in flagging it as valid.


From what I remember when opening the same files with Oxygen in the 
Ixiasoft environment they use our APIs to tell Oxygen to skip showing 
certain validation errors. There is an example about how such a plugin 
for Oxygen can be built here:


https://github.com/oxygenxml/wsaccess-javascript-sample-plugins/tree/master/validationProblemsFilter

But unfortunately there is no user-friendly setting to precisely skip 
this error.


Also, do you have more information on this Schematron custom 
validation check? Then I can discuss with my colleagues if it’s 
something we can use and implement.


Usually if you were working with Oxygen desktop (without the Ixiasoft 
integration) and wanted to add custom Schematron rules I would suggest 
this article:


https://blog.oxygenxml.com/topics/sharing_schematron_validation_rules.html

As you are working with Ixiasoft, I think they might also have some 
material about how to customize the DITA XML framework configuration and 
then how to deliver it to all users.


Hope this helps!

Oxygen has the ability to create custom XML refactoring actions based

local disk. We also have a predefined "Wrap element content" XML 
refactor action which would probably help in this case:

could use the Oxygen desktop application's "XML Refactoring" tool.


I think you should also consider adding a Schematron custom validation

problems so that people will be notified when they insert text in 
cells without wrapping it in pargraphs.

Re: [oXygen-user] Understanding @colsep and @rowsep

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Frank,


About this question:

So perhaps, to keep my DITA data portable and to ensure they are 
rendered correctly with other transformations, it would be safer to 
also set @colsep and @rowsep to "1". But really for each ? 
Wouldn't it be enough for ?
Setting the attributes on the table or tgroup will propagate the values 
as inherited for each table cell. So you do not need to set them 
individually on each cell. You only would do that if you want the table 
cell to have a different value of @rowsep/@colsep than the value set on 
the table.


Setting the attributes on the colspec will influence only the entries in 
that column.

Hi all,

I understand that these attributes create separator lines for colums

*@frame="all"* to create lines for particular rows or columns only?


For a normal CALS table with lines for all rows and columns (i.e. 
like a grid), is enough to set *@frame="all"* or do I additionally 
need these attributes? The code that Oxygen creates (see below) with 
these settings (i.e. without these attributes) ...


does not have these *@colsep* and*@rowsep* attributes, only 
*@frame="all"*, and is rendered as desired with my CHM and PDF 
transformations.


I have several tables with *@colsep*/*@rowsep="0" *or*="1"*. These 
attributes may have been added by FrameMaker when I converted 
unstructured content to DITA. Can I safely remove all of these 
attributes when I just want a CALS table with row and line separators

As Radu points out, the DITA specification does not require that topic 
IDs be unique beyond the scope of the XML document that contains them. 
In general, especially when using keys and with the addition of the 
“same topic” fragment identifier (‘#./some-element-id’), topic IDs are 
of little practical value because you almost never need to refer to 
them unless you nest topics within a single XML document. If you are 
using keys for all references to things outside of topics and you only 
have a single topic in each DITA source file, there is never a reason 
to refer to topic IDs in your DITA source.


I used to go out of my way to make the ID of every topic that is the 
root of its XML document “topicid” just to make the point that they 
don’t need to be unique.


However, as Radu also points out, many tools assume that DITA topic 
IDs are useful (they are not) and therefore make assumptions or impose 
requirements on them. These assumptions are unfounded and the 
requirements are misguided. Nevertheless, it is the case that many 
tools do this and it’s just not worth the effort to fight it.


At ServiceNow we use the practice of making the topic ID the same as 
the topic filename, because we also impose a filename uniqueness 
requirement on our content. Filename uniqueness is also not required 
by the DITA standard but it turns out to be really useful in practice, 
especially if you are using the “keyname == filename” practice for 
assigning keys to topics and images when you add them to maps, 
something Oxygen makes very easy to do.


One reason to make the topic ID the same as (or reflect, as you show 
in your template) the topic filename is that it makes correlating 
error messages that reflect the topic ID to the source topic 
easier—many DITA processes involve combining or modifying topics in a 
way that might change their organization into files, meaning that the 
original filename may be lost even though the original ID is retained 
(i.e., chunking as implemented in newer Open Toolkit versions, which 
only changes topic IDs when necessary to make the chunked result have 
unique topic IDs).


So as much as it pains me to say so, the practical implication for 
most of users of DITA content is that topic IDs should be unique 
across your content set.


Note, however, that this is still not sufficient for determining the 
anchors used in generated outputs—as long as there is reuse the output 
processor may need to generate new unique anchor values (i.e., HTML 
file names, PDF anchors, contextual help context IDs, etc.), in which 
case the original topic filename or ID cannot be preserved—at best it 
becomes the basis for the generated value (i.e., the way Open Toolkit 
adds “-1” to topic filenames when a topic is used as both a 
resource-only topic and a normal-role topic in the same root map context).


When you are using keys, those become a natural basis for generating 
output anchors and may be completely different from the topic’s 
filename or ID. Keys are necessarily unique within a root map and 
therefore serve as a reliable basis for output anchors when uniqueness 
of anchors within the deliverable is needed (which it usually is).


Another option is to use the  element to provide hints for 
deliverable anchors. For DITA 2.0 we’ve extended the semantics of 
 to make this explicit and you can anticipate that in a 
DITA 1.3 context by implementing your own handling of  to 
determine output anchors.


And of course the ditavalref facility, with the ability to define key 
and filename prefix and suffix values, makes it possible to re-use 
topics in different parts of a map and ensure unique keys and 
filenames in the effective input to an output process.

Hi all,

I understand that a topic ID must be unique within the scope of the 
root ditamap used for publishing the content.


FrameMaker, which I used previously, creates IDs of the type

id172OC0C03J7

So there is an arbitrary combination of 11 digits and letters.

In oXygen I have set the "DITA > ID Option" as follows:

${localName}_${id}

Which creates IDs of the following type:

So there is an arbitrary combination of only 9 characters, mostly 
letters. But perhaps sufficient for ensuring uniqueness...

Re: [oXygen-user] Struggling with conkeyref/conaction=pushafter

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hello Frank,


Please see some answers below:


If the pushed content is not shown in the Oxygen Editor, then the 
feature is not really useful for me. I need to see it to have control 
over what I am doing.


As I said, Oxygen does not show the push in place where the content is 
pushed.



The conref-push content does not appear in CHM output either. Perhaps 
this has to do with the fact that I still use oXygen V21.1 to generate 
CHM output. (I made some XSL customizations which are not easy for me 
to apply to V25, a bit difficult and lengthy to explain...).


I do not know about that, if plain DITA to HTML5 in Oxygen 25.1 output 
shows the push, then the publishing works. If not, probably the way in 
which you attempt to push might be incorrect, if you send us a sample 
project we can look into this further.



It appears much simpler for me to filter the contents out. But owing 
to the way my process is set up, I would need to apply a second 
ditaval file.



Can I specify two ditaval files for the "args.filter" argument? This 
would be the best.



Yes:

https://www.dita-ot.org/dev/parameters/parameters-base.html#base__args.filter



I heard of ditvalref branch filtering and I tested this. It does not 
create the desired result as duplicates of every reused topic are 
created. This is not what I want and it messes up many topic 
references. Can I set up branch filtering differently so that no topic 
duplicates are created? Probably not...



Once you choose using branch filtering you need to use also key scopes, 
use only  keyrefs and conkeyrefs. So yes you should probably avoid this 
if you have other choices.

this has to do with the fact that I still use oXygen V21.1 to generate 
CHM output. (I made some XSL customizations which are not easy for me 
to apply to V25, a bit difficult and lengthy to explain...).



It appears much simpler for me to filter the contents out. But owing 
to the way my process is set up, I would need to apply a second 
ditaval file.



Can I specify two ditaval files for the "args.filter" argument? This 
would be the best.



And I would need a second attribute in addition to "product", 
otherwise I would have to edit each and every element that uses a 
"product" attribute. There are not so many attributes available. 
Perhaps I could (mis)use "platform"... (for indicating the project).



I heard of ditvalref branch filtering and I tested this. It does not 
create the desired result as duplicates of every reused topic are 
created. This is not what I want and it messes up many topic 
references. Can I set up branch filtering differently so that no topic 
duplicates are created? Probably not...



The reason is that my ditaval files contain conditions for creating 
variants (oem1, oem2, etc. -- no condition stands for the base 
product) of a product group (project1, project 2). The same ditaval 
conditions (oem1, oem2, etc.) are used across different product 
groups. It never occurred to me to filter on product groups (projects) 
because I use root ditamaps stored in different folders to create 
output for different product groups.

Frank

Re: [oXygen-user] IDs for new DITA topics

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hello Frank,


Please see some answers below:


I understand that a topic ID must be unique within the scope of the 
root ditamap used for publishing the content. 
Your understanding is incorrect, the topic ID must be unique inside the 
same topic file. So for example if in the "topic.dita" you have two 
inner topics, all topics existing inside the "topic.dita" must not have 
duplicate IDs. But if you have "topic1.dita" and "topic2.dita", the 
 elements in both files can have the same ID, the DITA standard 
does not impose a uniqueness restriction for the topic IDs in the 
context of the entire project.



DITA 1.3 specs:

https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/1.3/specs/archSpec/base/uri-based-addressing.html


This addressing model makes it possible to reliably address elements 
that have values for the |@id| attribute that are unique within a 
single DITA topic, but which might not be unique within a larger XML 
document that contains multiple DITA topics.


But it is true that Oxygen and other tools attempt to create by default 
unique IDs for a created topic file in the context of the entire 
project, some CMSs may need them, sometimes the publishing (for example 
Oxygen's DITA to WebHelp output) may use these unique IDs for certain 
features.



So there is an arbitrary combination of only 9 characters, mostly 
letters. But perhaps sufficient for ensuring uniqueness...
Indeed the ${id} ID value we generate has about 9-10 unique letter-digit 
combinations. We consider this to be enough. The number of unique 
combinations is about 36 (26 letters in the English alphabet + 10 
digits) to the power 9, it's 1 followed by about 14 digits. We consider 
this to be enough for a value which is not intended to be unique by the 
DITA specification anyway.


By the way we also have a longer "${uuid}" editor variable which can be 
used and expanded, a unique sequence of 32 hexadecimal digits if you 
want something even more unique.


https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/25.1/ug-editor/topics/editor-variables.html


However, when I use the "DITA > Insert > Insert New DITA Resource" 
command, oXygen does not honor the "ID Option" setting, but creates 
IDs which are identical to the file name. 
Usually an ID derived from the title or from the file name is more user 
friendly when for example inserting references to elements inside a topic.


We would do the same by default when using the "File->New" wizard dialog 
to create the topic but the topic is not yet saved on disk so we do not 
yet know its file name or its title so we use the random value instead.



In the Oxygen Preferences->"DITA / Topics" page there is an "Use the 
filename as the value.. of the root element id" which you can uncheck if 
you want.

Radu

FrameMaker, which I used previously, creates IDs of the type


id172OC0C03J7


So there is an arbitrary combination of 11 digits and letters.


In oXygen I have set the "DITA > ID Option" as follows:


${localName}_${id}


Which creates IDs of the following type:


task_rf2_vcg_ywb


So there is an arbitrary combination of only 9 characters, mostly 
letters. But perhaps sufficient for ensuring uniqueness...



However, when I use the "DITA > Insert > Insert New DITA Resource"

This is not what I want and surely not suitable for ensuring uniqueness.


How can I get oXygen to honor the "ID Option" setting or make it 
otherwise generate IDs with arbitrary characters which are likely to 
be unique?

Frank

Re: [oXygen-user] Do I need a namespace declaration in dita root elements?

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Frank,


One way to check if an attribute is necessary is to see if it's already 
defined with that certain value in the associated DTDs.


If you open the DITA concept for example in Oxygen in the Text mode and 
place the caret inside the  tag, then remove the attribute, 
look in the "Attributes" view, if that specific attribute still appears 
there with the value grayed out, this means that it's already defined 
with that value in the associated DTDs and it's not necessary to define 
it in the XML instance.



In your case with "xmlns:ditaarch" which is a prefix namespace mapping 
declaration it is useless if:



1) It's already declared in the DTDs (which it is).

2) It's not used anywhere in the XML document (and it isn't, there is no 
"ditaarch:abc='def'" attribute in the XML document).



So in your case the prefix namespace declaration is useless in both cases.

Radu

Re: [oXygen-user] Learned Words

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Frank,


Let's say I have a folder in my project containing the "de.tdi" or in my 
case the "en.tdi" like in this sample DITA project:



https://github.com/oxygenxml/DITA-Startup-Project/tree/master/custom-settings/learned-words


The "*.tdi" has multiple lines, on each line a learned word which must 
not be flagged as an error.


I go to the Oxygen Preferences->"Editor / Spell Check / Dictionaries" 
folder and in the "Learned words" section I set a custom location and I 
can use editor variables to set it like 
"${pd}/custom-settings/learned-words".


Then I can switch for example the "Spell Check / Dictionaries" to the 
"Project" level settings (there is a radio button at the bottom of the 
page) and whenever I open the project XPR file in the Oxygen Project 
view I will get these custom learned words being read from the project 
folder.

Radu

So if you clear the entire content of the "Information" view and then

lines of logging that you previously attached right?

The problem seems to be the validation scenario named "odd4crit_data". 
You do not need a validation scenario if the XML file references 
directly the schemas. And probably in your validation scenario you 
mentioned only the Schematron validation as a stage and did not add a 
validation stage for the Relax NG based validation. So Oxygen does 
what your validation scenario says and skips Relax NG based validation,

Re: [oXygen-user] Validation problem

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Lou,


Strange.


Let's say I have a stock TEI document "abc.xml" like this one below 
which has a similar reference to the TEI schemas (both as RNG and SCH):





href="http://www.tei-c.org/release/xml/tei/custom/schema/relaxng/tei_all.rng; 

   type="application/xml" 
schematypens="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0;?>
href="http://www.tei-c.org/release/xml/tei/custom/schema/relaxng/tei_all.rng; 
type="application/xml"

    schematypens="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron;?>
http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0;>
  

  
  
  
 Some text here.
  
  



I go to the Oxygen main menu "Window->Show view" and show the 
"Information" view.


Then validate the XML document, in the Information view I get some 
information like this:



[ 15:42:54] - start scanning file:/.../abc.xml with schema: 
file:/../frameworks/tei/xml/tei/custom/schema/relaxng/tei_all.rng

[ 15:42:54] - Found 1 problem
[ 15:42:54] - Schematron Error Scanner - start scanning 
file:/../abc.xml with schema: 
file:/../tei/xml/tei/custom/schema/relaxng/tei_all.rng

[ 15:42:54] - No problems found


Do you get similar messages in the Oxygen Information view?

Re: [oXygen-user] Inserting child elements automatically

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hello Cody,


Indeed the "InsertXrefOperation" Java operation does not have a 
parameter to specify some fixed text to insert inside the link, I added 
an internal issue based on your feedback. I do not have an easy 
workaround for you, it's possible that what you want would be possible 
with a Java based extension which would somehow listen for inserted 
links and add that text inside the inserted link.



But coming back to your use case which seems to be to always add custom 
text inside a link to a web page, I would rather suggest using a custom 
Schematron schema to signal as a validation error to the end user that 
the link is empty:



https://blog.oxygenxml.com/topics/sharing_schematron_validation_rules.html


So a Schematron schema like this would report a user friendly warning if 
there is an empty link:


http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron; 
queryBinding="xslt2"

xmlns:sqf="http://www.schematron-quickfix.com/validator/process;>
    
    
    An external link should have 
custom link text set inside.

Radu

Hi Frank,


Let's split your use cases in two:

1) Inserting elements using Oxygen's actions (toolbars, menus)

2) Inserting elements using the content completion window.


1)


Let's take table insertion for example:


If you edit your DITA framework extension that is defined in the 
Preferences->"Document Type Association" page, it has an 
"Author=>Actions" tab.


If you edit the action "insert.table", it calls an operation named 
"ro.sync.ecss.extensions.dita.topic.table.InsertTableOperation" with 
certain parameters. One of the parameters is named "cellFragment", you 
can set its value to "".


There are other ways to change a table, for example insert a new 
column, insert a new row. So actions like "insert.table.row.below" or 
"insert.table.column.after" which also need to be changed accordingly.



2) Inserting elements like  using the content completion window.

Your DITA extension framework customization can contain a 
"cc_config.xml" file which defines that for certain elements, if they 
are inserted, another element should be inserted inside them as well:


https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-editor/topics/configure-elements-attr-cc-individually.html#configure-elements-attr-cc-individually__examples_configuring_elements 
<https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-editor/topics/configure-elements-attr-cc-individually.html#configure-elements-attr-cc-individually__examples_configuring_elements>



Hope this helps.

Re: [oXygen-user] Inserting current date into DITA file

Hi Frank,


I created a small DITA OT plugin (please see attached) which adds the

Re: [oXygen-user] Adding attributes to images inserted from DITA Reusable Components view

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Frank,


With Schematron you can report a validation error for example when an 
image does not have a certain attribute. You can also add a quick fix 
action to quickly add a certain attribute to an image if missing. But 
Schematron does not automatically make changes to the content inserted 
in the document.


I suspect you used the Oxygen specific "cc_config.xml" configuration 
file to specify that the attribute @scale is required on an  element.


This indeed is not taken into account when images are inserted using the 
"DITA Reusable Components->Media" tab or the toolbar action to insert an 
image.


I added an internal issue to consider improving this in a future version:


    EXM-52437 Take into account required attributes when inserting 
image references

Re: [oXygen-user] Image and table width in Author mode

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Frank,


So:


The DITA attribute "scale" would do the trick. [But strangely enough 
only if set to about "80" %, and not "61" % , which would be the 
equivalent to "92/150" dpi). However, I do not want to scale images in 
the published output, only in the editor.


In my opinion adding the @scale attribute in the XML document just to 
make things look in a certain way in the editor is not a good way to 
proceed.


The good thing is: MiramoPDF ignores the "scale" attribute and leaves 
the images as they are in the PDF.



Looks like a bug in Miramo.


The bad thing: oXygen applies this scaling in the CHM files (as 
expected, of course).



Works as expected.



Isn't there any trick to make the oXygen editor believe the "scale" 
attribute was set to "80", but without actually applying this 
attribute to the dita data? Couldn't this be implemented somehow?


Not yet. Maybe with a Java based plugin a listener could be added to 
automatically add a default @scale attribute to each image element, such 
default attributes not being serialized in the final XML content but 
being taken into account... but this would need to be pursued further...


For our CSS-based PDF processor we have this "image-resolution" CSS 
property:


https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/25.0/ug-editor/topics/dcpp_images.html

I added an internal issue based on your feedback to consider taking it 
into account in the editor as well:

I do not use FrameMaker anymore, neither for editing nor for

for publishing to CHM. Shifting back to FM is definitely not an option 
for me.



The only thing I currently do is compare how DITA files look like in 
FM and oXygen to make sure they are presented in a similar way. I must 
be sure that the files are OK. If I see them completely differently, I 
get confused and start worrying that something has gone wrong...

The use case is: In the editor window I would like to have a good 
estimate of how wide images are to see if they exceed the borders of 
an A4-sized page. This is especially important when I place multiple 
inline images in the same paragraph so that they are shown side by 
side. It looks ugly if there is a line break just because one of the 
image is a few pixels too wide. In FrameMaker I could see this exactly 
and then I would tweak the images a little in Photoshop to cut off a 
few pixels...



It is good to know that there is an option in MiramoPDF (and other PDF 
rendering engines) that scales images automatically down to make them 
fit on the page. But this is not applicable to the use case I have 
just described. Moreover, the images may get blurred. I always sharpen 
them when I scale them down in Photoshop and make sure that text is 
still readable.



As a workaround, can I display a kind of ruler in the oXygen window? I 
would like to see a thin vertical line at a user-defined pixel or mm 
position on the right-hand side of the editor window. This line would 
mark the end of the text column. I could do this with CSS (fixed 
width, border right), but the line shifts to the right if an image is 
wider.



Best regards,

Frank

Oxygen's default DPI is about 96 which is closer to the Web output.

We have some CSS settings to change the DPI when publishing DITA to PDF 
using our CSS based engine:


https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/25.0/ug-editor/topics/dcpp_images.html

but we do not have settings to change the DPI in the visual editor on a 
per-image base.


I would need to reduce all images to about 66% of their size (= by 
factor 1.5). Unfortunately I do not know of any CSS style which scales 
images based on their own pixel size. Percentage values in CSS apply 
to the widht or height of the viewport.


Yes, I also do not see a possible way to do this with CSS. DITA  
elements allow setting the width or scale attributes on them. Like:




and Oxygen takes this into account. But we take it into account because 
we know it's DITA, not because of a certain CSS rule which could be 
modified to cover another attribute.



Likewise, I would  like to make sure that table columns are not too 
narrow on the PDF pages.


Most XML editors are not what you see is what you get especially because 
XML can be published to multiple formats. The PDF may have a different 
font, it splits into pages, it has a certain page width... best you can 
do is to try and make things look more like the published content in the 
visual editor and check the PDF from time to time.

Hi list,


I publish DITA content as online help and PDF. In oXygen's Author mode 
I would like to make sure that images do not exceed the width of the 
A4-sized PDF pages. Sometimes I also place two or more inline images 
side by side in a paragraph and want to make sure if all of them fit 
on the line or if there is a line break between them.



All my images have PNG format and an "otherprops="fmdpi:xxx" attribute 
where xxx is usually 150, in some cases 140, 160 or similar. 
FrameMaker, my previous XML editor, honors this attribute and scales 
the images appropriately.



I notice that oXygen displays images bigger in its editor compared to 
150 dpi images in FrameMaker. I would need to reduce all images to 
about 66% of their size (= by factor 1.5). Unfortunately I do not know 
of any CSS style which scales images based on their own pixel size. 
Percentage values in CSS apply to the widht or height of the viewport.



Likewise, I would  like to make sure that table columns are not too 
narrow on the PDF pages.



What can I do? Any ideas are welcome.


Regards,

Frank

Hi Frank,


Let's split your use cases in two:

1) Inserting elements using Oxygen's actions (toolbars, menus)

2) Inserting elements using the content completion window.


1)


Let's take table insertion for example:


If you edit your DITA framework extension that is defined in the
Preferences->"Document Type Association" page, it has an
"Author=>Actions" tab.

If you edit the action "insert.table", it calls an operation named
"ro.sync.ecss.extensions.dita.topic.table.InsertTableOperation" with
certain parameters. One of the parameters is named "cellFragment", you
can set its value to "".

There are other ways to change a table, for example insert a new column,
insert a new row. So actions like "insert.table.row.below" or
"insert.table.column.after" which also need to be changed accordingly.


2) Inserting elements like  using the content completion window.

Your DITA extension framework customization can contain a
"cc_config.xml" file which defines that for certain elements, if they
are inserted, another element should be inserted inside them as well:

https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-editor/topics/configure-elements-attr-cc-individually.html#configure-elements-attr-cc-individually__examples_configuring_elements


Hope this helps.

Re: [oXygen-user] FM/OXY: Different DITA code for "conkeyref"

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Frank,


The content inside the dlentry which has a conref is fallback content, 
it's used only if the conref does not resolve. So what's there is not 
really important. But it also needs to be there to make the XML valid 
according to the DTDs.


Oxygen by default does not generate that extra paragraph inside the dd: 
"".


So this is probably something which you defined in your framework 
customization, maybe you specified in your "cc_config.xml" for example 
that when a "dd" is inserted, Oxygen should also insert a paragraph 
inside it.


About that Schematron rule, I would refine it to skip looking inside 
elements which contain conrefs:

BTW: This difference became obvious after defining a Schematron rule

Re: [oXygen-user] Conkeyrefs not rendered on map-level

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Sasha,


Usually problems can be either editing problems or publishing problems 
or problems which affect both editing and publishing.



Currently I want to switch from Oxygen 23 to 25.0 including an 
extracted build-in DITA-OT3.x with custom pdf2 plugin but In the 
updated environment we have the following effect:



In almost all DITAVAL contexts (we have a lot) the variable texts are 
not rendered into the DITA Map anymore without error messages.


This looks like an editing problem, in such cases we are interested in 
knowing what those particular error messages state. Ideally we would 
also have a small sample DITA project to reproduce the problem on our 
side. You can do this with a separate off list email.


Just a few DITAVAL contexts produce output as before.


By output do you mean publishing?


In published content topics/chapters everything is fine -> conkeyrefs 
are resolved.


So the publishing is fine? Only the DITA Maps Manager has problems 
displaying the keyrefs?


Also Oxygen Author WYSIWYG resolves all conkeyrefs as expected in 
topics and in the map.



Ok, so the main editor area seems to work.



In the pre-processing output (…_MERGED.xml) the specific map elements 
do not contain the variable text but conref attributes with wrong 
transformed links:
The conrefs contain “path/topic.dita#ElementID” instead of 
“path/ditatopic.dita#topicID/ElementID”


In correct output contexts there are no conref attrubtes rendered into 
output, just the elements with resolved text.


So there is also a publishing problem as well? Oxygen 25.0 comes bundled 
with DITA OT 3.7 from what I remember, maybe there is some 
incompatibility between your custom PDF plugin and DITA OT 3.7.


Do you have also a DITA DTD specialization plugin? If so did you install 
it in the DITA OT bundled with Oxygen 25.0?


I guess, there could be many different reasons for this. I tried a lot 
and couldn’t reproduced the problem in a simple test project. I also 
did´nt manage to simplify our project to a working state.


I somehow suspect you may have some DITA specialization for certain 
topics. I'm not sure. If you can reproduce about the same problem when 
editing and when publishing, the problem is usually somewhere in the 
DITA Open Toolkit publishing engine, some plugin which may not be installed.

Radu

Maybe someone experienced a similar effect (conkeyrefs in topic 
content resolved but not in map title/data elements) and can provide 
hints for a possible cause and or solution.


What I can say so far:
- It has nothing todowith the custom pdfplugin: same problem with 
build-in pdf and html transformation scenarios.

- We are using only standard pdf parameter settings.
- It has nothing todo with filtering directly because I have deleted 
all filter atts in the conkeyref chain in scope of the problem. Also 
our props attribute specialization does not affect the problem.

- We do not use:

-  - scoped keys and ditavalref in maps

-  - push-replace

-  Same problem with and without DITA project files.

- Problem is not caused by DITA topic content structures (I have 
copied content from working to non-working context.


I'm curious if someone has already seen something like this.

Sascha

Re: [oXygen-user] DITA Reusable Components list (Keys tab) does not update

Hi Frank,


Right, we support rectangular selection:


https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/25.0/ug-editor/topics/rectangular-selection.html#rectangular-selection__rectangular_selection_feature


About your attempt to reload the keys in the "DITA Reusable

Manager to reload the current map's contents, this should also trigger a 
reload of keys in the side view.

Re: [oXygen-user] CSS validation warnings

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Frank,


Please see some remarks below:


/Also make sure you prefix the pseudo class value also in the 
oxy_action. /--> How do I do this?



Like this:


:root:before {
    display:block;
    content: oxy_button(action, oxy_action(
  name, 'Tags on/off ...',
  description, 'Toggle Full Tags',
  operation, 
'ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.TogglePseudoClassOperation',

  arg-elementLocation, '.',
  arg-name, '-oxy-no-tags'
    ));
    position: fixed;
    top: 4px;
    left: 160mm;
}

:root:-oxy-no-tags, :root:-oxy-no-tags * {
    -oxy-display-tags:none;
}


Negative values do have an effect in oXygen's Author mode and they are 
essential for me. Hm...???



As I said there are two distinct aspects:

- CSS Validation using the W3C CSS validator. Negative margins are 
reported as errors by it.


- The CSS engine Oxygen uses to render the XML in the Author page, 
engine which supports negative margins.



I'll investigate to see if "margin-inline-start" is really required or 
can be replaced. I saw that it is used in one of oXygen's CSS files 
and wanted to reverse a formatting effect produced with this style.


We use this property in a single place because the DITA CSS are also 
used by our Web Author (in-browser editor). So the Oxygen desktop does 
not use this property in any way from what I looked but our Oxygen Web 
Author product which runs in a web browser uses this property as it uses 
common CSSs with the desktop application.

Hi Frank,


There are two distinct aspects to this:


1) Installing your framework in Oxygen and editing a DITA topic in 
the Author mode using your custom framework's CSS. I tested and on my 
side Oxygen reports no error when opening and editing a DITA topic 
with your framework. So I cannot reproduce this problem you reported:



This is annoying because the "Results" window keeps popping up 
whenever I save a dita file.
2) *Opening your "custom.css" in Oxygen and validating it*. Here 
indeed some errors are reported.



2.1)



Unknown pseudo-element or pseudo-class “:no-tags”
You can avoid this error by prefixing the custom pseudo class with 
"-oxy-", something like ":root:-oxy-no-tags".


*Also make sure you prefix the pseudo class value also in the 
oxy_action.*



2.2)



*“-2em” negative values are not allowed *:
Such errors are reported by the W3C CSS validator, the CSS is 
considered invalid according to the CSS standard. We do not have 
settings to filter out errors reported by the CSS validator.



2.3)



Property “*margin-inline-start*” doesn't exist : 0
Again this property does not see to be defined in the CSS3 standard 
and is reported as such by the W3C CSS validator. We do not have a 
way to inhibit this.


Oxygen's CSS engine used to render DITA topics in the Author mode 
does not support this "margin-inline-start" property or use it in any 
way. But some browsers seem to support it.

Property “margin-inline-start” doesn't exist : 0
Again this property does not see to be defined in the CSS3 standard and

Oxygen's CSS engine used to render DITA topics in the Author mode does 
not support this "margin-inline-start" property or use it in any way. 
But some browsers seem to support it.

Hi list,


I keep getting the following CSS validation errors for my "custom.css" 
file in oXygen V25:


  * Unknown pseudo-element or pseudo-class “:no-tags”
  * Negative values are not allowed: -0.5em /(padding)/
  * Property “margin-inline-start” doesn't exist : 0

This is annoying because the "Results" window keeps popping up 
whenever I save a dita file.



How can I tell oXygen to ignore these elements/properties/values?

I can't find the required settings under "Options > Preferences > CSS 
Validator".

Re: [oXygen-user] Going from FrameMaker to oXygen -- @type not added automatically

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Frank,


So:


Good to know that the Type and Format attributes are neither required 
nor good practice. /.../
There is a problem which may occur if you are using the @type attribute 
on and off inconsistently.


So let's say you have a DITA Map which uses it a lot like:



  
and then you decide not to use it anymore on topicrefs, so you might end 
up with something like this:




  
      
  
So the reference to "concept.dita" no longer has @type set on it, but 
the parent task.dita has type set on it. And the DITA specification 
states that in such cases the @type attribute value cascades to the 
child element. So when publishing the DITA Map content is interpreted as:




  
      
  

which will trigger a publishing warning.

Oxygen's "Validate and check for completeness" action from the "DITA 
maps manager" view should report such problems.


But in general, once you decide not to use @type in the DITA map, you 
should actively remove the attribute from the DITA Map otherwise you end 
up with @type attribute values cascading on to topicrefs which no longer 
have the @type attribute set.



I right-clicked in the Editor window and selected /"/Insert > Insert 
New DITA Resource", then I selected a custom framework template.



Thanks, I added your details to the already opened issue.

Hi Frank,


Please see some remarks below:

They are not required and they are not a best practice either.

From what I've experienced along these years, most end users who want 
these attributes to be added automatically are usually the ones 
migrating from Framemaker or using both Oxygen and Framemaker on the 
same set of DITA files.


My general best practice for these attributes would be:


1) For the "type" attribute, never set it on any link or topicref as 
the publishing engine will infer it from the target.


2) For the "format" attribute, Oxygen by default sets it on 
references to DITA Maps and non-DITA topics, but when referencing 
DITA topics, the @format attribute is not set automatically as it's 
default value when not set is "dita".





When I insert a new dita resource into a ditamap (i.e. a new topic 
or map which I create and insert in one go), oXygen should add these 
attributes automatically. I have set the options under "Options > 
Preferences > DITA > Maps" accordingly.



However, only "format" attributes are set, "type" attributes are not 
set although I have checked both options.
Checking those "Format" and "Type" checkboxes in the "Options > 
Preferences > DITA > Maps" preferences page should work...


I tested and indeed, if in the DITA Maps Manager I insert a reference

but if I use for example the contextual action "Append child->New" to

About the last point in your missing features list: the DITA specs 
allow plain text as well as block elements like  inside an . 
If you create constraints that disallow plain text (and inline

in oXygen’s author view.


And I do suggest everyone to create constraints before starting to 
work with DITA, as the definitions in the so-called standard DITA 
packages allows almost everything and is not meant to be a useful 
subset of elements for anyone’s specific content domain. The first 
step in any useful DITA implementation is defining constraints and 
possibly specialisations. I often get the reply from newbie DITA 
users that they want to stick with standard DITA. Fact is that 
constraints, and even specialisations, do not take you away from the 
standard. DITA was intended to be customised, i.e. adapted to your 
particular content domain, so that it will become as useful as 
possible - without pushing you out of the standard. Any DITA tool 
should support constraints and specialisations (as long as you create 
them in the defined manner), otherwise they cannot claim to be DITA 
compliant at all.


Good luck with the transition from FM to oXygen.

It would be great if oXygen could enhance its Outline View and make

  * Allow users to place the cursor between tags, or at the

need to waste room on the screen for a separate Attributes window)
  * Expand/collapse complete tree of elements or attributes in one

For exmaple, for Text..., the "Text" is shown both for

Can I add this as feature request?

I think you will find that oXygen provides more and different

About this specific request:


So I thought maybe I could perhaps quickly toggle the "Print-ready" 
style on and off to see the tags and better find the correct cursor 
position. Can I create a keyboard shortcut for doing this?



We do not yet have a means to set a certain keyboard shortcut for

reference:

There are other ways in which someone could for example create a custom 
Author action which sets a certain pseudo class on an element and then 
the CSS selectors can use that pseudo class to enable or disable certain 
properties. For example with the "custom.css" file I'm attaching I added 
a button directly in the Author visual editor and when the button is 
clicked, a certain CSS pseudo class is set on the root element and the 
tags are shown or hidden based on it.

Hi all,


This is my first posting to this list.


I am in the process of switching from FrameMaker V11 + DITA-FMx to 
oXygen V25 as my DITA editing tool. I have been using oXyen for quite 
a while as a transformation engine, but not as an editor. So in this 
respect I am still at the bottom of the learning curve.



I'd like to set up the Author mode in a way which comes close to what 
I was used in FrameMaker. I mainly worked in WYSIWYG view and with the 
Structure View, Elements and Attributes windows.



I have spent some effort on making oXygen's "Print-ready" view for the 
Editor window (in Author mode) look as WYSIWYG-ish as possible, with 
custom CSS styles that give me visual clues to the underlying XML 
structure. I then thought that I could use oXygen's Outline view in a 
similar way as FM's Structure View, but I feel quite lost in this window.


  * It does not allow me to position the cursor between the elements
  * It shows only a single attribute, not all attributes that are set
  * It shows only the attribute value, not the name
  * ...

I therefore find it hard to see the XML structure in the Outline view 
and to place the cursor precisely when I want to insert new elements.



So I thought maybe I could perhaps quickly toggle the "Print-ready" 
style on and off to see the tags and better find the correct cursor 
position. Can I create a keyboard shortcut for doing this?

Re: [oXygen-user] Custom DTDs with default Oxygen OT

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Scott,

If you would only wanted your DTD specialization to be used by Oxygen 
when editing or for validation, adding a reference to the custom XML 
catalog in the Oxygen Preferences->"XML / XML Catalog" page would be enough.


But indeed for publishing the DITA OT publishing engine needs to have an 
extra plugin installed, there are no parameters which would allow 
passing a reference to an extra XML catalog to the DITA OT when it starts.


https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/25.0/ug-editor/topics/dita-integrate-specialization.html

You could actually keep a separate "plugins" folder outside of the DITA 
OT main folder as long as you refer to it in the 
"DITA-OT3.x/config/configuration.properties" file:


https://www.dita-ot.org/dev/parameters/configuration-properties-file.html

But this would still mean the DITA OT folder would need to be changed, 
changes made to the "configuration.properties" followed by running the 
DITA OT integrator task which adds an extra reference to your XML 
catalog from the main DITA OT XML catalog.


And the main problem is that on Windows, Oxygen is usually installed in 
the "Program Files" folder which is read-only and making changes to 
files there is problematic if you do not have admin privileges.


Some more ways to distribute a custom DITA OT to the users:

1) Make the custom DITA OT available as an add-on:

https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/25.0/ug-editor/topics/contribute-external-dita-ot-extension.html

For example here:

https://github.com/oxygenxml/dita-ot-3x-plugin

In the Oxygen main menu "Help->Install new add-ons" you can point Oxygen 
to an HTTP location containing the zipped DITA OT and Oxygen would 
download it and make it available in the "Preferences->DITA" page.


2) Add the custom DITA OT folder directly inside the framework folder. 
an Oxygen framework can provide also custom transformation scenarios and 
the custom transformation scenarios could use the 
"Parameters->"dita.dir"" parameter to refer to the custom DITA OT 
bundled with the framework.


3) If you use a Git repository for example you could also commit the 
custom DITA OT inside the repository so that everyone gets it when they 
check out the project.

Radu

As it stands, users can install the framework and edit topics

well, but when they go to do an OT build, it fails to recognize
the location for the custom DTDs.

I thought there was an OT parameter that let you specify the

Was hoping that I could get this to work by just having the
users install the framework.

It seems like my only options are (after installing the
framework) ..

- install and integrate the "doctypes" plugin into the default

- OR .. provide another OT that has the doctypes plugin

From what I tested in your case a selector like this should work in Oxygen:


entry:has(styled-content)
but if an extra ">" is prepended inside the has() pseudo class it stops 
working with Oxygen.


From what I tested a web browser supports both has() value styles (with 
or without the > prefix).


I also looked in the CSS specification and I added an internal issue to 
also support in Oxygen the selector if it has a leading ">".

Re: [oXygen-user] XPath version in XPath toolbar?

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hello David,

Sorry for the delay.

We run both XPath 2.0 and 3.1 query expressions using the Saxon 11 
Enterprise Edition XSLT processor, providing the XSLT processor with the 
proper XPath version.


In such cases probably as you say the XSLT processor should report more 
precisely if certain expressions although supported by it are not quite 
compatible with the imposed expression version. But this is not 
something we control.

Dear oxygen-user@oxygenxml.com,

If I select XPath version 3.1 in the XPath toolbar and evaluate an 
expression like:


*//l => count()*

in a document that contains ** elements, it correctly returns the 
count of those elements. If I select XPath 1.0 and evaluate the same 
expression, it correctly raises an error because it doesn't understand 
the arrow operator, which is not part of XPath 1.0. If I select XPath 
2.0 I also expect an error because the arrow operator is not part of 
XPath 2.0, but instead the result is the same as with 3.1. Am I 
mistaken in expecting 2.0 to raise an error here?

Re: [oXygen-user] Table formatting: style attribute

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hello Michael,

Great, I'm glad this works for you for editing.

Probably such styling also depends on how you publish the JATS document 
further, if you produce an HTML document from it, that may work but for 
producing a PDF having HTML-related styles in the JATS file will 
probably not produce results in the PDF.

Hi Michael,

We (the Oxygen XML developers) are not very familiar with the JATS format.

Oxygen uses CSS to render the JATS content in the Author visual 
editing mode. If for example you open the CSS 
"OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/jats/lib/author-css/authoring-extension.css" 
CSS and add this selector to it:


*[style]{
    -oxy-style:attr(style);
}

then save your CSS and re-open your JATS file, Oxygen's visual editing 
should interpret the small CSS snippet value from any element which 
has a "style" attribute.


But is this correct according to the standard?

records the name of the style to be applied to the element;

The value of the @style attribute seems in the standard to indicate

Re: [oXygen-user] Auto-insert element with cc_config

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Scott,

Welcome to the Oxygen mailing list!

The DITA "Insert image" dialog has a "Figure title" text field. Once you 
fill that, it automatically inserts a figure. So what you want may not 
be that necessary.


Coming back to what you want, the "cc_config.xml" file does not have the 
ability to invoke custom actions in certain contexts.


There are other settings when creating a DITA framework extension which 
allow you to remove an item from the content completion window (for 
example remove ) and add instead of it a custom Author action with 
the same name which may perform other things when invoked:


https://blog.oxygenxml.com/topics/custom-author-action-content-completion.html

For example you can create a custom Author action which inserts an XML 
snippet like this in the document:


""


Oxygen has support for various editor variables which get expanded when 
used in XML snippets:


https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/24.1/ug-editor/topics/editor-variables.html

This "/{ask('Input URL', ///relative_url/)}/" editor variable would show 
a very simple URL chooser, so it does not show the "Insert image" dialog.


If you want to show the "Insert image" dialog, you have the option to 
create an Author action which calls a sequence of two or more other 
Author actions:


https://blog.oxygenxml.com/topics/composing-author-actions.html

Radu

Re: [oXygen-user] Relax NG validation messages

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi David,

Oxygen uses the Jing parser to validate XML documents with RNG/RNC 
schemas so we present the messages as they are given by the parser.


I added an issue on the parser's GitHub issues list:

https://github.com/relaxng/jing-trang/issues/268

an idea about how the error message should be rephrased.

Dear oxygen-user@oxygenxml.com,

I have a question about the error messages  reports when 
validating a Relax NG rule that types an item as xsd:integer. My test 
XML is:




1


and my test Relax NG is:

start = stuff
stuff = element stuff { xsd:integer {minInclusive = "1"
maxInclusive = "1"} }


As I expected, both "1" and "01" pass validation. Initially I 
(erroneously) expected "1.0" to pass because I thought validation 
cared only about the value space, and not the lexical space, and it 
didn't because I had misunderstood how integer was defined. Section 
3.3.13 integer of https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/ plainly says 
"disallowing the trailing decimal point", a limitation of the lexical 
space that automatically disallows the trailing zero.


I am, though, puzzled by the error message that  displays for 
"1.0", which reads:


character content of element "stuff" invalid; must be a decimal
number without any significant digits after the decimal point


I think that the wording of the error message suggests that "1." 
should pass, since the message seems to implies that the decimal point 
is fine, and the mistake was putting a zero after it. Yet validating 
"1." raises:


character content of element "stuff" invalid; must be an integer


This is consistent with the spec, as cited above, but also, I think, 
misleading because the *value* of "1.0" is an integer, and the 
prohibited trailing decimal point is about the lexical representation 
of the value. The error message doesn't distinguish value space from 
lexical space, although it could.


Am I alone in thinking that these two error messages could be clearer 
because the error in both cases is the same: the lexical space of 
xsd:integer does not permit a decimal point? Neither of these messages 
fingers the decimal point as the invalid part of the content.


Sincerely,

David

Re: [oXygen-user] suppress hover-over text in editor?

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Alan,

Indeed I've seen people present for example pieces of XSLT content using 
Oxygen and then a large tooltip window appears while hovering over the 
XSLT content.


In the Oxygen Preferences->"Editor / Content Completion / Annotations" 
page we have a setting named "Show annotations in tooltips" which should 
disable tooltips when hovering over content in an opened XML document. 
So maybe this will help a bit.


But we do not have a setting to disable tooltips in a way globally, as 
you say in the DITA Maps Manager for example or in the results view. I 
added an internal issue based on your request to maybe add some kind of 
global tooltip off switch.


For doing a demo with Oxygen using a projector to gain more screen space 
you can also use the Oxygen main menu Window->"Hide all toolbars" and 
"Hide editor tabs" actions.

Hi, Roger, Joel,

One more thing in addition to this, the xml:space attribute does not 
need to be specified directly in the XML, it can be defined as an

For example a codeblock defined in the DITA DTD:

Hi Folks,

I love the "Format and Indent" button in Oxygen.

But it has a gotcha!

It replaces multiple spaces in your data with a single space. For
example, in my XML document it changed this:

GBE6   BELGRANO 6

to this:

GBE6 BELGRANO 6

See the change in the data?

GBE6   BELGRANO 6
GBE6 BELGRANO 6

Now you might think, "Well, what's the big deal? Why does it matter
that Oxygen discarded a few spaces?"

Actually, it is a huge deal!

In my use case, I have a program which checks that the TRM_IDENT value
matches every TRM_IDENT value in another XML file that had not been
formatted by Oxygen. My program kept returning an error saying that
the values don't match. It took me many hours to find the problem:
Oxygen changed the data in the first file.

I did some research and found that Oxygen has a way to specify that
space is to be preserved during a format and indent operation:
Preferences/Editor/Format/XML click on "Preserve text as it is".

If you're using Oxygen, I recommend that you open it up right now and
click on that option. If you don't, then one day you might run into
the same situation and waste many hours trying to figure out why
things aren't working.

Hi Roger,

Right, like in most editing applications each opened file has its own 
undo/redo stack of changes independent of the other opened files.


In the Preferences->"Editor" page there is an undo history size setting 
which limits the undo history for each opened file to a maximum of 200

The undo history for an opened file is lost if the file is closed and

Re: [oXygen-user] Git an Oxy XPR project files

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Stefan,

About this remark:

Usually the XPR is modified when you "publish" something. The reason 
is that oXygen always associates a file with a transformation. This 
leads to a change in the scenarioAssociation element of the XPR file. 
I think this is a very useless feature in oXygen projects.
I agree, by default we should not have saved the association directly in 
the XPR, but this can be controlled.


In the Oxygen Preferences->"Project Level Settings" page you have a 
checkbox named "Allow transformation scenario associations to be saved 
at project level" which you can uncheck and then commit the XPR which 
will get modified because of this change.


About this other remark:

It would help to have a setting which disables the file association 
completely for DITA projects. 

You mean transformation scenario association, right?

Re: [oXygen-user] [ann] Security maintenance builds in response to the Log4j vulnerability

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Lisa,


Right now we have on our web site new installation kits fixing the 
security problem for Oxygen 24.0, 23.1 and we'll soon have the same for 
Oxygen 22.1.



For older Oxygen versions there was only one component in Oxygen uses 
the Log4j 2.x libraries, the Calabash XProc engine located in 
"OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\lib\xproc\calabash". If you are not using Oxygen to 
edit XProc files you can remove that "calabash" folder completely.



Or you can try to use this small free utility we provide to update all 
Log4.j 2.x libraries in your Oxygen installation:

Re: [oXygen-user] Possible to Put Code Templates in a Framework?

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Eliot,

So we have the API:


PluginWorkspaceProvider.getPluginWorkspace().importGlobalOptions(optionsFile);
You could call it twice, once with the location of the plugin's 
options.xml and once maybe with another location of an options.xml 
containing code templates.


Maybe load a project specific XML options file every time a new project 
is opened:



    @Override
    public void applicationStarted(StandalonePluginWorkspace 
pluginWorkspaceAccess) {
pluginWorkspaceAccess.getProjectManager().addProjectChangeListener(new 
ProjectChangeListener() {


    @Override
    public void projectChanged(URL oldProjectURL, URL newProjectURL) {
  File projectSpecificOptions = new File(new 
URL(newProjectURL, "options/options.xml").toURI());

  if(projectSpecificOptions != null) {
pluginWorkspaceAccess.importGlobalOptions(projectSpecificOptions);
  }
    }
  });
    }

Radu

Hi Eliot,

For now you cannot save code templates at framework level. We have an 
internal issue registered for this and I added your contact details to 
it, adding the issue ID below for future reference:


    EXM-36264 Code templates at framework level

In the meantime maybe you can create custom Author actions but they 
will work only in the Author visual editing mode.


Or maybe you can store the code templates at project level and have a 
project.xpr saved in the Git project that everybody needs to open in 
Oxygen before editing.

Re: [oXygen-user] Possible to Put Code Templates in a Framework?

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Danny,

With the framework extension script (which is our new way of extending a 
framework configuration) you can refer to an XML file containing 
serialized Author actions, but not code templates.


https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/23.1/ug-editor/topics/framework-customization-script-usecases.html#framework-customization-script-usecases__section_qzt_5ry_jnb

Author actions can only be used in the Author visual editing mode while 
code templates are defined only globally or at project level and can be 
used also in the Text editing mode.

Radu

Re: [oXygen-user] FOP configuration

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Wendell,

Right the Preferences->"XML / PDF Output / FO Processors" page can be 
saved at Project level and you can set a "Configuration file" there 
using editor variables like "${pd}".


If you want full control over this you can also maybe distribute an 
entire set of FOP libraries with the framework, create an ANT build file 
in the framework which runs the transformations, then create pre-defined 
transformation scenarios at framework level to run the ANT scenarios.

Hello oXygenites:

Today I am endeavoring to follow guidelines for creating
Accessible PDFs, with "accessible" being in that technical sense
we all know, in addition to its more general sense.

Apache documentation (eg
https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/2.3/accessibility.html)
describes how I can set an true in
the fop.xconf file to get at least some  accessibility features in
my PDFs.

Of course, I find a copy of this file in the libraries of the
oXygen distribution (and once also inside a DITA framework). It
has admin permissions.

To turn this feature on, is my best approach to edit this file
with admin rights or is there a better way?

Should I be considering using a framework for this project and if
so, how would I set it up for the framework? Assuming there is no
way to configure it per Project (maybe even better).

Re: [oXygen-user] [ANN] Writer Helper Add-on - the newest release in the Oxygen add-on library!

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Yves,

I'm glad you enjoy the new add-on.

Based on Pieterjan's similar request we added an issue for this:

    EXM-49001 [Writer Helper] Automatically create reusable components

We do not have some precise future plans for it, we found useful for our 
interns to work on it in order to get more accustomed using the Oxygen 
APIs but indeed one direction would be to automatically create a 
reusable component and conref to it from all places.


My initial wish for the add-on was for it to be useful no matter what 
XML vocabulary you are using, so it does not have any DITA-specific 
features.


Also the add-on only takes the text content into account when finding 
similar content, so if your two similar paragraphs have different 
attributes or they contain key refs, like for example one of them has a 
keyref  and the other does not, we still report them 
as similar because we rely on the end user to make the final choice. So 
if we add tools to make changes to the content we would need to find 
perfect matches, paragraphs or blocks which have the same attributes and 
precisely the same XML structure.

Radu

Re: [oXygen-user] '# ' in Markdown editor

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the report, I added an internal issue to look into fixing this.

From version to version we might update the libraries which parse 
Markdown, we have also our own functionality which attempts to add some 
backmapping between the edited Markdown and the HTML preview, I suspect 
there is a bug on our side.


The "DITA" preview looks Ok though.

I also notices that in Oxygen's Markdown editor there is some red 
foreground around one of your links which you made bold:


- **focheck** はサブモジュールとして 
**[stf](https://github.com/Schematron/stf)**

I added an internal issue to have that sorted out as well.

Re: [oXygen-user] Unresloved index-key value error

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Henry,

If you edit the transformation scenario and set the "clean.temp" 
parameter to "no", then publish, after the transformation you should 
have in the transformation temporary files folder a file named 
"topic.fo" which is the XSL-FO file on which Antenna House is applied.


Maybe you can open the XSL-FO file in Oxygen, format and indent it and 
search in it for "indexid-1393266570", maybe you will get some 
indication from what original DITA content the XSL-FO element containing 
the "indexid-1393266570" was produced.

There is a "Type alternative strategy" setting in the "Options" tab. But

I have an element that is declared to have a type that is a complexType and the

complexType.

When the Oxygen tool gets to the element, it realizes that its type is an 
abstract complexType, so it randomly (?) picks one of the subtypes. And it 
almost always picks the wrong subtype.

So the generated XML instance document is wrong 

Is there a way to tell the Oxygen tool, "Hey, when you encounter this element, with 
this parent, then use this subtype"?

Our Git add-on is compatible with Oxygen XML Editor/Author/Developer 
versions 21.1 or newer.



And he answered:


I’m using Oxygen XML Editor 23.1.

I removed the plugin from the extension folder of the com.oxygenxml in 
the preferences folder then reloaded the plugin through the ‘Install 
New Add-ons’.


The Git Client appeared and installed OK.

Re: [oXygen-user] Displaying LaTeX in XML documents

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Michael,

The plugin is Javascript based:

https://github.com/oxygenxml/wsaccess-javascript-sample-plugins/blob/master/latex-images-support/wsAccess.js

and has this condition to identify XML elements that it should render:

return "latex" == nodeContext.getNodeName() || ("foreign" == 
nodeContext.getNodeName() && "embed-latex" == 
nodeContext.getAttributeValue("outputclass"));

I think in your case the condition should be:

return "tex-math" == nodeContext.getNodeName() && "MathJax" == 
nodeContext.getAttributeValue("version");
You probably also need to modify the CSS Oxygen uses to edit JATS 
content to hide the text content from the element, probably something like:



tex-math[version=MathJax]{
    display:inline !important;
    white-space: -oxy-trim-when-ws-only !important;
}
tex-math[version=MathJax] * {
    display:none !important;
    white-space:normal !important;
}

Hello,

The blog post at

I downloaded the ‘latex-images-support’ folder and installed it in my 
plugins folder. The math expression in the sample file—




A document containing LaTeX :
$x=\frac{1+y}{1+2z^2}$


is rendered correctly as an image when I view it in Author mode (using 
Oxygen 23.0).


I’d like to be able to use the plugin with JATS XML documents, which 
can contain LaTeX inside a  element, like so:


$x=\frac{1+y}{1+2z^2}$

or



Is there a way to configure or modify the plugin to handle this?

Re: [oXygen-user] Save via WebDAV

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Gary,

Adrian asked me to help you further.

I'm afraid using our Java APIs from a plugin we do not have control to 
allow a third party plugin to control where and how a resource is saved.


Maybe you can also look at other options Exist has for uploading content 
to their database:


http://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/uploading-files.xml

like the section about "Uploading files with XQuery". Or ask around on 
the Exist list, maybe there are ways to set this up on the server side 
instead of using Oxygen to drive the transformation.

Hi,

Both the results and/or output of an Oxygen transformation are 
designed to be saved locally.
So, no, there is no way to configure an Oxygen transformation scenario 
to output the result to a remote location (this includes an eXist-db 
database).


One trick you can use, if you have WebDAV enabled on your eXist-db 
server, is to mount the WebDAV repository as a network drive (or as a 
folder for Linux/macOS) and configure Oxygen to output to that mounted 
location (as if it was local).

Re: [oXygen-user] Followup (strange rendering of some Tamil vowels when in TextMode in oXygen

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hello Jean-Luc,

We are not very familiar with Tamil but discrepancies like this are 
usually caused by the use of different fonts for rendering in the Text 
and Author pages.


In the Oxygen Preferences->"Appearance / Fonts" page there is a font for 
"Editor" - for the Text editing mode and a default font for the Author 
visual editing page. They are different so this might be the cause, your 
friend could try to set the "Editor" font to the same font used for 
Author for example or to try different other fonts as well, maybe she 
will find a better font to render Tamil on Mac.

I have recently shared some XML files with a friend who has just 
bought and installed oXygen on a Macintosh. She has sent me some print

There is a strange rendering of some Tamil vowels when in TextMode,

in oXygen under Windows.


Do you have suggestions?

Re: [oXygen-user] short and long

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Aaron,

In the Oxygen main menu you can show the Tools->"XML refactoring" 
dialog. The dialog should contain a "Convert to concept" XML refactoring 
action allowing you to convert any DITA topic type to a concept. Then 
you choose the files to change and you also have a Preview to check out 
what will happen.


There are also lots of other refactoring operations available there, if 
you need to build your own, you can use XSLT or XQuery update to create 
such XML refactoring operations:


https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/23.1/ug-editor/topics/custom-refactoring-operations-x-tools.html

There are lots of other DITA refactoring samples in this GitHub project:

Re: [oXygen-user] Different indices not repected in Epub3 transformation

Oxygen ships with the DocBook 1.79.2 XSLT stylesheets.

Should I update the DocBook XSLTs in Oxygen to a newer stable version? 
If so, which one would be that?


Question for Bernard:
My knowledge of DocBook indices and how they are used is quite limited. 
Could you give me precise details about how you expect the indices to 
work in the EPUB? I added your indices sample to a small DocBook 5 XML 
document I have, they seem to look similar when publishing to EPUB 3 or 
to PDF.

Re: [oXygen-user] Specifying multiple CSS files in an HTML5 transformation scenario

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Kristen,

There is no such option in the base HTML5 output as far as I know. You 
will probably need to create a third CSS which imports those 2 CSSs and 
refer to that instead. But somehow your 2 CSSs will not be copied 
automatically to the output folder, probably if you refer to them in the 
DITA Map with "processing-role='resource-only'" will get them copied to 
the output folder.
Or you may add a DITA OT plugin which with a custom ANT build target 
copies these extra CSSs to the output folder.

Re: [oXygen-user] Request for changes in xquery indentation

Hi France,

Thanks for remembering to do this. I added an internal issue with ID 
"EXM-44828" to look into your sample and try to improve our format and 
indent based on your sample.

Hi,

At the last DITA Europe Conference, I discussed xquery indentation in

If they don't get unanimous approval, I would suggest that some of them 
become configurable in preferences.


I attached an xml file that is indented as I prefer (so please do open 
it without automatic indent). I included comments that indicate the

Re: [oXygen-user] oXygen 21.x running on Windows: Is there a way to make icons smaller?

Hi Kris,

Right, if we manage to implement it I will also find such a feature 
useful when using Oxygen with a low resolution projector to present 
pieces of XML or XSLT content to the audience because the action would 
free available screen space.

Hi Kristen,

Somehow for this use case in which you have a small screen area and 
the toolbars get in the way I had this idea of adding a new action 
called "Hide toolbars" to the Oxygen "Window" menu.
There is already an action there called "Maximize editing area" which 
hides the side views so maybe these two actions would go well together.


Both actions (the one which hides side views and the one which hides 
the toolbars) would be toggle actions and you could assign keyboard 
shortcuts to them so that when you want to maximize the editing area 
you could hide both the side views and the toolbars.
The main menu has most actions inside it anyway and the content 
completion window makes the Author toolbar redundant in a way. Also 
the regular shortcuts for saving, opening files would still work.


So maybe people could increase the editing area and edit distraction 
free and by hiding toolbars and side views.

How about if the end users wrap these particular identifiers in some

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Christian,

Please see some suggestions below:

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

The upper  node has an atribute hkg:orgKey="#n_123_456" pointing to 
second element's xml:id="n_123_456". I use the following CSS to display 
the value of  of the second element in the visual

affiliation:after {
     content: " role: " oxy_textfield(

This works fine. But now I need to create the line

dynamically which means: Instead of the specific value xml:id n_123_456 
it should use whatever the value of the attribute @hkg:orgKey of the

"/TEI/text/body/div/ab[@xml:id=@hkg:orgKey]/seg[@type='name']/orgName/text()" 



but it doesn't work. I also tried other variations like 
ab[@xml:id='@hkg:orgKey'] or ab[@xml:id=attr('hkg:orgKey')] and many 
more but none of them gave me the expected result.


Maybe it is a syntax problem. I really hope there will be a solution to 
this and I would be very thankful for assistance. Any help is appreciated.


I tried to send as much code as needed but of course shortened some 
parts not relevant in this case. If something is missing (or too much)

Re: [oXygen-user] How to customize the default DITA topic validation scenario

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Kristen,

When automatic or manual validation is performed on a DITA topic, we 
have about 3 validation stages, a stage in which the DTD/schema is used 
to check for errors, a stage in which a custom Schematron schema is used 
to check for errors and a stage in which a DITA specific error scanner 
is used to check for more errors.
Our DITA specific error scanner for topics only checks for broken table 
layouts and for references to missing topics but it could be improved to 
also check for broken references to IDs in the same topic. I will add an 
internal issue to do this. Hypothetically the error scanner could also 
be improved to report links to other topics which have missing IDs but 
this would mean that the validation would not be fast anymore, it would 
need to also load those referenced topics and look into them. But for 
IDs located in the same topic it's no problem.


For now maybe you can create a custom Schematron schema to do this extra 
check:


https://blog.oxygenxml.com/2017/02/sharing-schematron-validation-rules.html

Some time ago we created this experimental Schematron schema:


OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\resources\dita-1.2-for-xslt2-links-checker.sch


which actually looks inside the referenced topics for the IDs. It might 
also work for references inside the current topic.

Re: [oXygen-user] schematron validation in a batch file

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Lou,

We plan to have in the future an Oxygen command line tool allowing 
validation and transformation. So I added your feedback (which covers 
very well the use case) to the opened internal issue, we will get back 
to you when we do.
So for now you can probably put something together using Jing for 
RelaxNG validation and the Schematron stylesheets but indeed you would 
still need some kind of detector to read the header from each XML file 
and get the xml-model instructions there, obtain the schemas and use 
them for validation (which is more or less what Oxygen does).

One of the features of oXygen which I really love is the way it allows
me to combine schema validation with RELAXNG and with schematron just by
adding a couple of PIs to the top of my file. But this requires me to
fire up oXygen and open up each file one by one which is not so
convenient if I have 100 or more independent documents to validate. I
would rather do this in a bash script, along with all the other
pre-validation sanitation work. But

(a) only oXygen will take any notice of my PIs (obviously)

(b) none of the open source validators I've looked at seems to have a
hook for including schematron validation

(c) oxyGen will do a batch validation of documents included in a project
file, which is close to what I want, but still requires me to fire up
oXygen, make the project file and click a couple of times, so not really
a batch process

Maybe someone else has found a way round this, or could explain to me
why it's just not possible. And how exactly does oXygen do this magic?

Re: [oXygen-user] '<' in validation scenario names?

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the report, I added an issue on our side to look into this.
I guess the label used in the Problems view is HTML aware so it tries to 
interpret the "<" as a special character and removes it. But the labels 
used to present scenario names in the list of scenarios are not HTML aware.

I do not have a sensible workaround but you could try this:
In Oxygen's main menu Edit->Insert from Character Map you can search for 
"less than" in the character descriptions. You should find a character 
called "Small Less-than Sign" which could be used instead of the regular 
less than sign. This seemed to work on my side although certain fonts 
may not be able to render it.

Re: [oXygen-user] PI between visible in Author mode?

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Tony,

About this remark:


I also haven't found a way to insert a PI between  in Author mode.


That's because usually when moving inside a table the cursor moves from 
one row to another and does not stop between the rows.
In the Oxygen Preferences->"Editor / Edit Modes / Author / Cursor 
Navigation" page there is a checkbox called "Quick navigation in tables" 
which can be disabled to allow the cursor to also be placed between 
rows. But I think it's best to create some kind of custom Author action 
based on a pre-existing operation like "InsertFragmentOperation":


https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/21.1/ug-editor/topics/dg-default-author-operations.html#dg-default-author-operations__insertfragmentoperation

The action defined in the framework configuration could be called 
"Insert a page break processing instruction before current row". And it 
could be added for example to the contextual menu when you right click 
inside a table cell.

Maybe you can try as a workaround to implement some kind of side view
in which the processing instructions are shown and edited when the
cursor is places on a table row and then use our API to make changes
to the processing instructions and update the XML document.


We already have info-level Schematron  as a budget way of

Hi Yves,

Coming back to your request:

Honestly I don't think that's a good idea.
Looking at how many changes our technical documentation writer does
between releases, how many spell check errors he fixes, how much
content
he reuses, how much phrasing of existing paragraphs he changes, some of
the changes the technical writer does should not appear as revisions
because they are small bug fixes in the existing DITA content.
So having the application mark as revisions every DITA element in which
changes have been done will generate in the end a very large list of
revisions, a list which will be overwhelming to read by anyone.
Also if I change a single character in a paragraph (a spell check) that
entire paragraph which may span half a page will be marked as a
revision.

To whom is this revision list destined? Is it for the end user (like a
list of new features) or is it for an internal reviewer?
If the list is for the end user maybe it should be manually created
because the end user does not need to know that a certain paragraph was
re-written to improve its readability.
If the list is for an internal reviewer, maybe the tech writers should
use change tracking instead because change tracking and comments
already
can be made to appear in the published output.

The problem with adding new functionality to Oxygen is making sure that
functionality covers as many similar use cases as possible. If I only
cover a company's use case but my support for revisions is not generic
enough to cover the use cases of other companies, then it's not worth
implementing it.
So ideally I would need to be in direct contact with two or more
companies requiring this and understand if we can build a solution
which
would satisfy lots of various company-specific needs.
Because in the end, if the revision-related improvements are kind of
company-specific it's not worth in investing resources to add the
improvements in Oxygen.
In a way this is why Oxygen has API, this is why we have support for
plugins, for custom validation and why the publishing can be
customized,
in order to cover company specific requirements with company specific
customizations made by a company which could have a separate contract
with that company based on providing this service.

Re: [oXygen-user] Managing revisions

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Yves,

Coming back to your request:


  Track changes automatically, i.e. without having to change the @rev attribute 
manually


Honestly I don't think that's a good idea.
Looking at how many changes our technical documentation writer does 
between releases, how many spell check errors he fixes, how much content 
he reuses, how much phrasing of existing paragraphs he changes, some of 
the changes the technical writer does should not appear as revisions 
because they are small bug fixes in the existing DITA content.
So having the application mark as revisions every DITA element in which 
changes have been done will generate in the end a very large list of 
revisions, a list which will be overwhelming to read by anyone.
Also if I change a single character in a paragraph (a spell check) that 
entire paragraph which may span half a page will be marked as a revision.


To whom is this revision list destined? Is it for the end user (like a 
list of new features) or is it for an internal reviewer?
If the list is for the end user maybe it should be manually created 
because the end user does not need to know that a certain paragraph was 
re-written to improve its readability.
If the list is for an internal reviewer, maybe the tech writers should 
use change tracking instead because change tracking and comments already 
can be made to appear in the published output.

So I understand that some custom development work would need to be done,
using the various technologies (oXygen plugin, CSS, XSLT...). We are
getting requests like these quite regularly from our oXygen customers,
so I think it would be very nice to have this as a standard feature in
one of the next releases of oXygen XML Author/Editor.

Kind regards

Hi Yves,

I see no one else answered this on the Oxygen Users List.

I'm linking to the similar thread you started on the DITA Users List:

https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/dita-users/conversations/topics/44837

My answers for your questions would be:

> Track changes automatically, i.e. without having to change the

By "track changes" you mean automatically setting the @rev attribute on
modified elements. And this can be done with a custom Oxygen plugin.

> Indicate the changed paragraphs with change bars in the PDF
(using Miramo)

Using our DITA + CSS = PDF plugin this could quite easily be done, add
some CSS selectors which add borders for elements containing the @rev
attribute.

> Generate a list of revisions

You would need some kind of custom XSLT processing going through all
topics and creating maybe a DITA topic containing links to all changed
topics.

Radu
