Hi David,
Thanks for the suggestions, valuable as usual.
Indeed if the target element has some sort of a title it would be useful
to show it in the left part. This would make also the quick find work on
the title content as well.

Hi Robert,
I was pleasantly surprised to see that copy from html into an Oxygen
docbook file works surprisingly well.
Yes, it's useful to quickly import some content (especially tables,
lists) while converting some of the styling to Docbook tags.
I have more problems when pasting from
Hi Johan,
You are using Docbook 5 (as you were mentioning xml:ids).
If it is Relax NG or XML Schema based:
Basically in order to propose you the entire list of IDREFs Oxygen needs
to validate the master document (which xi:includes all modules) instead
of the module which is opened.
So when
But if you are using Docbook 5 DTD-based (and you probably are):
Oxygen uses Xerces for validation and when parsing XML files with
associated DTD schemas Xerces will parse and validate the XML document
before the xi:include's are resolved. Because of this the gathered IDs
will also be

Bu the way, good new, in Oxygen 14.1 the actions for inserting xrefs and

Hi Paul,
Usually commercial WYSIWYG XML Editors are in a certain price range.
We are at the lower bound of that range. We cannot go lower because we
consider the editor is worth the price.
For academic organizations (like universities) or for people who want to
learn XML our price is very
Hi Johan,
Just one small remark:
Unfortunately the recenet addition of master file in Oxygen (which I thought
would handle this)
does not seem to work this way for plain XML files (at least I didn't get it to
work). It works fine for XSLT stylesheets though.
You are right, we will try to
I just wanted to say that as a technical writer using docbook, I find
that Oxygen XML Author does 98% of what I need. It's about $150
cheaper than the XML Editor license. XML Editor has a few more
debugging features which for me are not terribly important. On the
other hand, it has some cool
(This is a bit off-topic but I'm staying in thread since it might be
of interest to the docbook community)
Now I'm curious :-)

But not sure its invalid.

You're correct Paul. However, even the WYSIWYG tools mentioned do not give
you true WYSIWYGness like Word will give you. Its more of a rough
approximation. It because of the nature of divorcing the content from the

I don't understand this xinclude problem with oxygen. Oxygen has been
handling my xincludes, and nested xincludes, seamlessly from versions
around 7 or 8 at least. There was a base problem with the earlier
