Re: Reg exp for appending file extension

I think I need to use brackets to specify the capture group.
Find: "(.*)"
Replace With: "$1.dita"

Reg exp for appending file extension

Trying to change all instances of the type <xref href="myfile"> to <xref href="myfile.dita"> using Find/Replace. If I set Xpath to //xref/@href and enter a regexp of ".*", that seems to find the required text string. How can I then quote the found text string in the Rep...

Re: Docbook refentry conversion

Another reason that syntaxdiagram is a problem is that we are also looking to transform some topics from DITA -> troff.
And the troff DITA-OT transformation does not support syntaxdiagram, unfortunately.

Re: Docbook refentry conversion

I was expecting some kind of textual list output. Search the web for "syntax diagram" and you get a flow chart.
By the way, we are using DITA 1.2.

Docbook refentry conversion

Looking to convert refentry content from DocBook XML to DITA.
The default DocBook to DITA transform does not work well. For example, it converts cmdsynopsis => syntaxdiagram
And syntaxdiagram is for flowcharts, I think.
Any suggestions?

Re: Finding all id elements in a chapter

I got this working. It was easier than I expected: XPath: //@id Text to find: .* Select "Regular Expression", deselect "Dot matches all" Then do a Find All, right-click on the results and save to a *.txt file. You can process the resulting file using Oxygen, to remove unwanted fi...

Finding all id elements in a chapter

Is there an easy way to find all the id elements in a chapter? And list them, if possible.
I have been using Search/Replace on a single chapter.
I tried using xpath such as //sect1[@id] to get all the id's in a sect1 element. But it returns too many hits.
What is the correct xpath for this, please?

Re: emphasis role="strong": quick way to enter

Looks like I can do this by creating a code template:
<emphasis role="strong">${selection}</emphasis>

Select the text to wrap, press Ctrl-Space, then choose the code template.
Quicker than typing it all in manually!

I need to mark up a lot of strings as bold text, using <emphasis role="strong"> <emphasis role="strong">hello</emphasis> Using Ctrl-E, I can quickly wrap a string with <emphasis>. But is there a way to avoid manually typing in the role="strong" attribute. Maybe I can te...

Re: Where are the desktop icons and menus?

If you install Oxygen under a regular user they should all work, you will also find application menu items under Applications -> Other. Adrian But if I install Oxygen as a regular user, can I install to /opt? Otherwise, I will have to install to my /home/mike directory, which is not what I want.

Re: Where are the desktop icons and menus?

The icons were on the root Desktop. I had to copy them to my home Desktop folder.
No sign of the application menu items, though.
