Does Oxygen editor have a capability to cut down on the number of tag choices that an author sees when adding a new paragraph, etc? I know I can cut down on the tags if I do DITA constraints, but if Oxygen did it it would save me time.

thanks,
Mark

Using Oxygen 22 on MacOS. When I open a DITA map with this standard doctype: <!DOCTYPE map PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Map//EN" "map.dtd"> Oxygen gives this error: F [Xerces] FileNotFoundException-/Users/magldi/git/docs/map.dtd It's looking for map DTD in the same directory where the map is, instead ...

I also am trying to figure out how to integrate Oxygen webhelp output into a Salesforce website. I do not have a solution yet, but I had an email exchange with someone who had done this. Here is a summary of what he told me: Their solution was to create a local website (not on Salesforce) with all t...

Thanks Ionela. I noticed that these little widgets also appear around some tables. Like in this reference topic: <reference id="r_wf_blah" xml:lang="en-US"> <title>Configuration</title> <shortdesc>blah blah</shortdesc> <refbody> <table frame="none" id="table_o3p_wfs_33b"> <tgroup cols="2"> <colspec ...

I'm using Oxygen v.22 with DITA and publishing to responsive webhelp output. I want to turn off collapsible sections in the webhelp but this transform parameter does not seem to have any effect when I set it to no: webhelp.show.expand.collapse.sections The default is yes. This parameter is not menti...

Thanks Costin. Unfortunately, this Oxygen webhelp system is served from a Google Cloud bucket, which does not provide any redirect capabilities. I had already checked. We'll figure something out. I might write my own javascript to do this.

I'm publishing DITA files to responsive Oxygen webhelp and the client wants to have URLs to topic pages that do not have ".html" in the URL. So if normal webhelp has a topic URL like this: /webhelp/docs/c_overview.html Instead of that, they want this: /webhelp/docs/c_overview They were using an Embe...

We have many writers using Oxygen version 22. Authoring of DITA and Docbook files, source files stored in git. Is there a way to turn off automatic background pretty-printing of XML files that are being authored in Author mode? Sometimes the XML gets reformatted by the pretty-print operation and thi...

That worked! You were right, "DITA Map" was unchecked. I don't remember unchecking it, but now that it's checked, I have lots of DITA maps to choose from in the New dialog box.

Thanks!

Using Oxygen 22.0 on Windows 10. When I do File > New, the New dialog box only has one DITA map: Map (Lightweight - Experimental). Where are the other DITA map templates, like bookmap and plain map? When I look under the Oxygen installation folder, there are a lot of map templates: C:\Program Files\...

Oh I see it now, obviously I did a defective search. But I can't find dita-ot:capitalize. dita-ot:get-topic-id works. This also works for OT 2.1.

They're probably not documented because they are intended to be internal to the OT.

Thanks,
Mark

Aah, I see it in Oxygen's 3.x OT. But it's not in the 2.5 OT I am working with. I thought it was some Oxygen extension or something. There are no docs about this, either, in the OT docs at https://www.dita-ot.org/. Maybe I'll open a bug.

Thanks Radu!

In working on a DITA OT XSLT file in Oxygen 21.1, I saw many XPath functions in the XPath dropdown that have a "dita-ot:" prefix like these: dita-ot:resolve-href-path() dita-ot:capitalize(text) dita-ot:get-closest-topic(n) etc. There are about 21 of these in the XPath function dropdown. What are the...

Ouch! You're right. That fixed it, Radu, thank you very much! I've looked at that file a hundred times. I have a follow-on question now. This setup uses a fake string "file:///mystring/" in the catalog to make it easier on authors, as kind of an alias: <system systemId="file:///mystring/overview.xml...

I'm running Docbook 5.1 and I'm using XML catalog files to resolve file paths. There are 3 catalog files connected with <nextCatalog> elements. When I add the top-level catalog to Options/Preferences/XML/XML Catalog, Docbook publishing fails because it can't resolve the file paths. But when I add th...

That worked Radu. Thanks again!!

Using DITA OT 3.2.1, running HTML-based output (Suitehelp). This command line runs successfully: bin\dita -f suitehelp -i "C:\path\to\mymap.ditamap" -v But when I try to run the same OT, transtype and ditamap in Oxygen v.18.1, the build fails with the errors below near the end of the build. I create...

I am running two transformation scenarios that uses a customized DITA OT v1.8.5 to produce pdf2 and D4P output. Both PDF and D4P produce output when I run it in Oxygen 19. But when I run the same scenarios in Oxygen 20.1, they both fail. Partial PDF and D4P log files below. What do you think? Thanks...

Aha! Great, that worked. I went to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts, and I unchecked Mission Control (which was Ctrl-Up Arrow) and also unchecked Application windows (Ctrl-Down Arrow).

Now I can do what I need with Ctrl-up/down, just like in Windows.

Thanks,
Mark

Using Oxygen 19.1 standalone on OSX. When I have a file open (XML, XSLT, shell script etc), I want to scroll the window without moving the mouse. On Windows I can do this with Ctrl-Up Arrow and Ctrl-Down Arrow. What is the equivalent on OSX? I can do this with 2 fingers on the trackpad but I want a ...

I have a client who has a dozen or more writers using Oxygen but the department manager complained to me that she could not renew the Oxygen maintenance by having her purchasing department issue a purchase order. The manager has to use her own credit card to buy the maintenance, and then fill out an...

I got it working. All I did was to remove the existing XEP config in the FO Processors dialog, and replace it with nothing. Then it just worked. I guess Oxygen was smart enough to figure it out from these DITA OT parameters that were already there in the transformations scenario: pdf.formatter = xep...

Thanks Radu. Does it need to be the shell script? Because the XEP shell script (usually called "xep") is not in the repo I'm using. Only the jar file xep.jar is available as an executable. I could dig up the shell script from another XEP installation I have, but I'd like to now if I can get it to wo...

I'm using Oxygen 18.1 on OSX. Oxygen seemed to find where XEP was when I installed Oxygen. But when I run a PDF from a DITA map (DITA OT 1.8.5), the build fails with this error: BUILD FAILED /Users/maglid/git/tools/DITA-OT/build.xml:44: The following error occurred while executing this line: /Users/...

Adrian, I emailed the force quit log file to support@oxygenxml.com.

Here is another report. This was from today, the author opened Oxygen using Launch Pad. Oxygen never opened, it just had an endless spinning beachball. He had to use Force Quit. No Oxygen messages. This time Oxygen would open after the Force Quit. There have been times in the past where it hasn't, a...

Thanks Adrian. I'm collecting more information. Here is a response from one writer: Just about every morning, when I go to open Oxygen I get a dialog with the following message: "The application may have crashed during the precious run. Do you want to open the files that were being edited in the pre...

I have about a dozen writers using Oxygen 18.1 on Mac OS X (DITA). About 5 of them say that Oxygen crashes on them every day at least once. Some of those are using OS X Sierra 10.12.4. Sometimes they can't get Oxygen to work again unless they reboot. Is there a problem with 18.1 on OSX? Would upgrad...

Using version 18.1. My map called top-level.ditamap references topics and a map of key definitions: <map> <title>My Guide</title> <topicref href="topic1.xml" /> <topicref href="topic2.xml" /> <mapref href="keydefs.ditamap" format="ditamap"/> </map> keydefs.ditamap is like a variable file with thousa...

Do you sell this plugin? I need to run it on a server, not from Oxygen.

Thanks,
Mark
