annotations in RNC not showing

[XedMada]

In pervious versions an RNC file with comments (single hash)

Code: Select all

# comment

showed up as annotations when editing files with that schema assigned (tool tips and the annotations page of the model view.) This no longer seems to be the case in 12.1. I've also tried adding a second hash

Code: Select all

## annotation

for true annotations but these do not show either. This is the case both with and without the Editor/Content Completion/Annotations/"Use all Relax NG annotations as documentation" option. Is there something else im missing here?

Annotations are still working for other file types ive tried like schematron.

oh, ive also tried manually specifying

Code: Select all

namespace a = "http://relaxng.org/ns/compatibility/annotation/1.0"

to no avail, but this shouldn't be necessary anyway.

Please try opening the [oXygen]/samples/relaxng/personal.xml file. This refers to personal.rnc as schema and I just tested it and annotations appear when I try to edit the document, for example when adding a new person element.

the personal.xml file does show annotations.

After a bit more testing, it looks like annotations are not working beyond an external call im making to another .rnc file early in the schema. Annotations above this work (there is only one, thus why I didn't catch it til now), below this do not work. If I remove the annotation for the external reference they all seem to show again.

e.g.

Code: Select all

## Foo Annotation

external "foo.rnc"

breaks all annotations past it unless I remove the "Foo Annotation" line.

Is this a bug or can you not annotate an external pattern? I cant seem to find any documentation in the rnc spec stating this, but im not an expert.

I will look into this - it looks like an issue on how we extract the annotations. I will let you know as soon as I have more details.
