hi,

when i copy paste the html text from browser in docbook xml file it shows validation errors.


how to copy paste text from browser.

is there any setting to do in oxygen.

can you explain?

Hi,

It is not always possible to paste a copied fragment in Author mode and keep the XML document valid after the paste operation. If the copied fragment cannot be placed at the paste location without creating a validation error you will see a dialog box in Author mode with some options with different ways of avoiding the validation error. Usually these options propose adding or removing a surrounding XML element or moving the paste location to the next or previous element relative to the current cursor location.

Please specify what is the document type in which you want to paste the copied fragment (DITA, Docbook, TEI, etc) and also give an example of the copied fragment and the paste location in the target document. What is the result of the paste operation in the target document? Does Oxygen display the dialog box with the paste strategies for avoiding a validation error?

If you want to paste plain text instead of XML markup of the target document you have to disable the option Convert external content on paste from menu Options -> Preferences -> Editor -> Edit modes -> Author -> Schema aware.

We need more details for understanding the problem. What is the paste location? In what Docbook element is the cursor located in Author mode when you paste the fragment?

When you paste in Author mode does Oxygen display a dialog box with some options like split the current para element or paste at current location even if invalid? What option did you select in the dialog box?

Is it a validation error that was created by the paste operation, that is before the paste the Docbook document did not contain validation errors? What is the error message?

Hi,

After paste I get a Docbook validation error that itemizedlist element is not allowed in td element. Is that the error that you get? It is a case of structure of the copied fragment that is not pasted as a valid Docbook fragment. In the HTML page from the browser there is an itemized list inside a table which is converted by Oxygen Author to a Docbook informaltable element containing an itemizedlist. A simple way of fixing the error is edit the Docbook document and remove the table tags (informaltable, tbody, tr, td) if you don't need the table structure. Other way is move the itemizedlist outside the informaltable element.

Thank you for for your help.


but if i copy and paste from content from word document the format is missing entirely , paste it as a plain text.

how i can solve problem.

[sorin]

If you copy from MS Word to Oxygen Author mode in a Docbook XML document the copied fragment should be pasted as plain text only if:

• either a dialog box is displayed by the paste operation and you select the option paste as plain text
  
• or you disable the option Convert external content on paste from menu Options -> Preferences -> Editor -> Edit modes -> Author -> Schema aware.

Otherwise the copied content should be converted to Docbook markup. Did you paste in a Docbook XML document in Author editing mode? If yes please send us a sample MS Word document and specify what fragment you copied from that Word document and pasted in Author editing mode.
