I'm in the process of evaluating/configuring XMLMind
(currently V2.11 Professional, Java 1.5.0_06) to our
XML Schema and would like to know, whether it is
worthwhile to upgrade to the newest version. It's my
first use of the tool, I very much like what I see so
far, but there are a few glitches, and I'm wondering
whether they are usage issues - I'm not at a css
expert level, tool issues, or version issues.
Answers, suggestions, etc. are very much appreciated
and would help me make that choice.
(1) I'm using the list pseudo-function
page:before {
display: block;
color: red;
content: division(content(list(rows, 1,
attribute, type,
selection, single
values, "...\A\DpageTypeC)));
}
and was hoping that an document element such as
<page type="pageTypeC">
would populate/pre-set the list. Am I expecting too
much?
(2) I've also noticed a case-sensitivity issue, for
example
question[type="checkAll"] > choice:before {
display: inline;
content: check-box(attribute, isCorrect,
label, "",
unchecked-value, "false",
checked-value, "true");
}
does not impact the attribute isCorrect, but one named
iscorrect. What could cause this?
(3) For an element such as
<graphic src="animage.jpg">
<alt>An alt text</alt>
</graphic>
I would like to display both the image and the alt
text in the editor. Using the content: key seems to
prevent access to the alt element. I do have a
work-around using :before, but I was wondering whether
there are other ways to access alt from the content:
value.
(4) I was attempting to do a similar thing to (2)
using radio-button, but it would not work. Is this a
version issue, or was I doing something wrong?
question[type="multipleChoice"] > choice:before {
display: inline;
content: radio-buttons(rows, 1,
labels, "1",
attribute, isCorrect,
selection, single);
}
Actually, in reality, I would like to use the text
content of the choice element
<question type="multipleChoice">
...
<choice isCorrect="false">The wrong
choice.</choice>
...
</question>
and have it populated/pre-set as well. Is this
possible?
(5) After working a while without restarting XMLMind,
images won't display anymore due to a Java heap space
issue. Continuing freezes it up. Is this a memory
leak in the version I'm using and fixed in V3.2?
Thanks for any help in advance.
