[oXygen-user] Removing or adding two attributes at the same time

[Felix Sasaki]

Hi all,

For an oXygen framework (DocBook), I would like to exectue an operation 
that removes or adds two attributes at the same time after the user has 
clicked on a button.

The use case is that in my DocBook customization these attributes need 
to appear at the same time. Adding or removing just one of them would 
make the file invalid, and having two buttons is not an option, because 
there are many such combined attributes, the GUI would get too full.

The ChangeAttributeOperation at
http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/index.html#topics/dg-default-author-operations.html
didn't work for me since I cannot have two of these operations 
associated with one button.

Looking at
http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/index.html#topics/the-action-dialog.html#the-action-dialog
it seems not possible to trigger two operations via one action: "An 
action has one or mode operation modes. The evaluation of an XPath 
expression activates an operation mode. The first enabled operation mode 
is activated when you trigger the action."

I also tried to evoke an XSLT transformation via XSLTOperation that 
removes the attributes. But although the "script" value IMO opinion 
points to the right location of the XSLT and that XSLT file is valid, I 
get an error from evoking the action, saying:
"Couldn't exectute operation 
ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.TransformOperation because 
... cannot create Transformer: failed to compile stylesheet."

Any ideas how to move forward? If the XSLTOperation is the way to go: is 
there an example in an existing framework that demonstrates how the 
operation is used?

Thanks,

Felix
