We installed Stedman's for Word. It creates a .lex file. As far as I know that is microsoft only format. What format does the dictionary need to be to work with Oxygen? Where can I find more info on it. I noticed some spell files in %AppData%\com.oxygenxml.author\spell. Are these hunspell files? Sho...

How do I use a custom spell checker with Author 14. In particular I want to enable Stedman's http://www.stedmans.com/product.cfm/376/216 dictionary. We have a custom DocBook document type association set up for our users.

Thanks for letting me know.

Sure thing.

When I go into Docbook document type association settings and try to edit or create and action I get following error. Detection errors: C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Author 14\${framework}\docbook.jar - C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Author 14\${framework}\docbook.jar (The system cannot find the path spe...

14 is out. Where are the promised improvements? The linking works just like before.

Using the same method, would it be possible to convert the MS PowerPoint files (OOXML) to Docbook XML and vice versa? Possible? Yes. Easy or practical? Not in my opinion. I am not aware of any XSL stylesheets out there that already work with OOXML, so you are going to have to write it from scratch....

Just wondering if the functionality mentioned in this post is coming soon. Are you planning to add it in one of your future releases?

I ended up using roundtrip XSL. I had to heavily modify it and fix a number of bugs, but now it works. I can covert DocBook to Word. Thanks.

I dropped the idea of importing Word to XML for now. I think that is just too much hassle.

Our users are asking for a simple way to convert DocBook XML to OOXML (DocBook to Word DOCX) and back. The editing in house is done in Oxygen but sometimes they have to send files for editing to other people and Word is still the de facto standard. I imagine this will be a major undertaking so any h...

Thanks for great news.

One of our users received following error. The application detected an error that is not automatically handled. It is possible that this error is not critical and the application may continue to work normally but our recommendation is to report the error and restart the application. If the applicati...

The Insert Link action bundled together with DocBook framework is really under developed. :( When you insert a link there is no dialog to enter the URL. You have to go into edit attributes, find the right attribute and then enter the URL. That's a lot more actions than it needs to be. Why can't this...

OK. CSS3 hyphen implementation would be preferred.

In my docbook framework I want to be able to use custom list style character: dash. It is not a part of css standard so it has to be done with "content". I can do that but I cannot keep the text after first line aligned with top line. Usually on the web I would do it with negative text-ind...

Thanks you. The code will get me started. I agree with adding an artificial root element to selected fragment.

What if I have the selection that starts in a middle of one paragraph and ends in the middle of other? Will the code still produce valid XML?

I am trying to write an operation where I can use a short XSLT script to change a fragment of the document into something else. It would work as following: You would select a chunk of document or position your cursor in the document and the chunk of document will be selected by an XPath (probably se...

We want to implement custom actions in content completion dialog similar to "Split listitem" that comes up if you press ctrl + space with cursor inside <para> of <listitem>. This action seems to be custom since the cursor is not inside the <listitem> but inside the <para>. I looked in DocB...

Great. I already wrote an action to add xincludes but I am sure it is not as comprehensive as the built in one.

Thanks. I was able to do the substitution. For text pasted from Word I modified xhtml2db5.xsl stylesheet and for plain text I used ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.AuthorSchemaAwareEditingHandlerAdapter#handlePasteFragment

Thanks for all the help.

The process method of ClipboardFragmentProcessor does not fire when pasting from another text editor like Microsoft Word or Notepad. It seems to only fire when copying/pasting from Oxygen Editor. Is this normal?

The forum topic should be "Lack of setter or modification methods on AuthorNode"

I am trying to process pasted text. I want to look for certain pattern and change that into elements. If pasted text is " hello [1;2]" i want to change that into " hello <xref linkend="id.1"/><xref linkend="id.2"/>" I am using ClipboardFragmentProcessor but I ...

Awesome. I did not know that. I always assumed the XPath methods are absolute. That will definitely work. Thanks.

Since you are looking as this, can you provide a way to override the tooltip in SAIDElementsCustomizerDialog. Currently it just gets set to GenerateIDElementsInfo.PATTERN_TOOLTIP (line 227 in SAIDElementsCustomizerDialog.java) //Tooltip for the pattern field idGenerationPatternField.setToolTipText(G...

The use cases of it are plentiful. For example you want to select all elements of a certain type, within a given element. Currently I would probably solve such problem by traversing it using the AuthorNode API with some helping of recursion. But it would be much easier if there was a method like Aut...

And in general how do I do relative XPath given a particular AuthorElement?

If I have AuthorAccess A and AuthorElement E how do I find number of previous siblings of E?

Thank you for comprehensive answer. I'll look into renaming the package in my sources. I was really hopping to avoid such implementation though. So far I was able to implement everything I need just by extending Docbook5UniqueAttributesRecognizer and GenerateIDElementsInfo. And if it was not for the...

GenerateIDElementsInfo on constructor public GenerateIDElementsInfo(AuthorAccess authorAccess, GenerateIDElementsInfo defaultOptions) { //Read the Auto ID Elements Info from options. this(isAutoGenerateIDs(authorAccess, defaultOptions), getIDGenerationPattern(authorAccess), getIDGenerationElements(a...
