I find that I've been using the editor variable ${ask('message', relative_url, 'value')} to prompt a user either to choose a place where to save output, or to select files for supplementary input. For the first need, it would be nice if users could pick just a directory, and not a file. For the seco...

Hi Sorin,

Hm, it seems that a little experiment I did showed that the problem is specific to my git repo, which has had several years of accumulation, and at one point the case difference and diacriticals threw a wrench in the normal git workflow. So ignore my complaint.

In the git plugin I'm getting a list of files for deleting and adding that don't match the list that exists when I run git status in the shell. These seem to have to do with cases where filenames have had changes in case, or in accentuation. If you want to look, I've just pushed a clean repo here . ...

The Git plugin / add-on is amazing, and very useful. Thank you! I realize that git has dozens of parameters that could be supported, so when I suggest this and others, I'm focusing only on those parameters in git that I tend to use. That said, it would be helpful to have an amend checkbox, to includ...

Small bug to report. I have some files that are named identically except for the last letter (before the extension). The ones ending in ς are superimposed upon the ones ending in σ. That leaves a gap in the file listings, and it makes it difficult or impossible to put the focus on the ones ending σ.

Thanks, Radu this makes sense. I didn't know about getting .xpr files into the editor via dragging. Now that I'm looking at my .xpr file, I'm wondering if, instead of a new menu option as I had earlier requested, there was a built-in project.sch file in frameworks/oxygen/ that did some basic checkin...

I have been developing a project that is now several years old, and the project .xpr file is now 3.5 MB. Recently I've been getting "Unable to save" messages when I change a transformation scenario for a file, and I'm wondering if the size is a problem (perhaps in tandem with Dropbox synci...

Thanks -- perfect! It might help future users if documentation made this suggestion more explicit.

Now that I'm using the validation tab, it's unclear to me what function the schema tab has. That is, what does the latter do that the former does not do?

In the Document Type Association > Schema Tab it would be nice if one could associate a document type with more than one pairing of schema type + schema URI.

In the Document Type Association > Schema Tab it would be nice if one could pick a Schema type that is pure Schematron (i.e., not mixed with other schema languages).

Low-level request: it would be nice if hitting ctrl+shift+alt+C for select content worked not just when the cursor is in a text node, but also when it is within an attribute value, to select everything between the quotation marks. Not sure if that's feasible, but it would be a nice convenience.

Oftentimes I find myself editing files that are either very large or involve some complicated Schematron rules. Sometimes these rules give tips or aids in editing, and I have to wait a long time to get contextual help via SQF or Schematron-based messages, because the engine is checking the entire fi...

Here's a sample. You'll see that color coding would be nice not just for a string, but for variables. <x:scenario label="Scenario for testing function matches"> <x:call function="tan:matches"> <x:param name="input" select="$regex-greek"/> <x:param name="p...

A nice feature would be to have color coding for xspec @select. It took me the longest time to diagnose an error, only because I thought (due partly to the color) that was the correct syntax for a string, when it should have been .

Update: after further futzing about I discovered that the following code generates the same stack overflow error. If you remove the 'xml:' or replace it with another namespace prefix, or if you move the variable declaration into its next sibling the error disappears. A Saxon glitch? <xsl:template ma...

In oXygen 19 I'm getting java.lang.StackOverflowError for files that are validated fine in oXygen 18, probably because of the Saxon engine upgrade. After some troubleshooting I determined that the problem was due to instances of <xsl:attribute name="xml:id"/> . I'm just registering the obs...

A helpful addition to the Author mode would be support for CSS Fonts Module level 3 . The request is prompted because I am working with a font that has contextual alternates and CSS such as this, which picks the 27th variant of a particular glyph; it works fine in most major browsers: *.ar-cv-n27 { ...

I notice that color coding is missing from the contents of @value of <sch:param>. Could this be introduced?

I have a set of four Word documents. Three of the four open up just fine through the Archive Browser but the fourth grinds oXygen to a halt. It's faster for me to end the task, restart oXygen, and start from scratch. After several hours I was able to determine that U+0308 COMBINING DIARESIS was caus...

Although @subject in a Schematron <assert> or <report> is now supported in oXygen, I'm finding that variables in the XPath expression are not resolved, e.g., <report test="exists($ids-in-error)" subject="*[@xml:id = $ids-in-error]">This element is in error.</report> The first $id...

I have an XML file without mixed content upon which I've applied a stylesheet through the author mode, using Preferences > Document Type Association > Author > Actions > ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.XSLTOperation. When I apply the stylesheet, it introduces a space text node between occ...

I'm running into the same problem as Martin, but have decided to use this hack/workaround in lieu of a script, until the problem can be addressed: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="3.0&q...

Thanks, Adrian. Those pointers are very helpful. I anticipate the schemas may be used by people outside the context of a framework. So here's one more workaround for those who might stumble on this thread. Use the fn:doc-available() function in the Schematron file to generate a warning and prevent a...

OK, I've isolated the problem to schematron. An XML file whose prolog invokes a simple schematron file with the following... <sch:pattern> <sch:rule context="/*"> <sch:assert test="doc-available('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oxygenxml/userguide/master/DITA/UserManual.ditamap')&qu...

I have a set of files that are validated by means of calls to raw XML files on a github server, in the form, e.g., of document($filename) and document-available($filename) where $filename = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/[USERNAME]/[REPO]/[BRANCH]/[FILE].xml' In oXygen 16.1 I had no problems in ...

There have been times when I've wanted to temporarily disable a whole class of elements. It would be nice, in the Refactoring options, to allow users to choose via XPath one or more elements to comment out.

Hi, it would be nice to be able to allow users to indicate in the Preferences whether the timestamp in the information pane should allow whole (default), tenths, or hundredths of seconds.

OK, I chimed in. Let's see what happens.

Hi, according to the thread here... https://github.com/schematron-quickfix/sqf/issues/2 ...it seems that one should be able to do multiple sibling <sqf:call-fix>es (as children of <sqf:fix>). But when I do so in a Schematron file in oXygen, I get the cvc-complex-type.2.4.d error. I've tried differen...

Thank you for the thorough background. Would you be willing, next time you update the documentation, to include a modified form of this discussion in the material about regular expressions? The escape classes \w and \W are widely used, and a bit more prominence to the issue in oXygen documentation w...
