It's OK! Got it working as a standalone file. I am really grateful for your patience and help.

Dear Octavian, Thanks once again. I'm currently using a very long schema ODD and a short standalone Schematron file. I'm embarrassed to say that in my ignorance I haven't managed either to embed your new Schematron fragment in my ODD or to use it as a standalone file. I don't want to post a very lon...

Still a problem. The assertion you suggested works fine for persName/@ref or rs/@ref with a single value, but with multiple space-delimited values, it only fires if ALL are missing from the personography -- that is, the assertion is satisfied if ANY ONE of the values matches an xml:id. I suspect it'...

Thanks so much, Octavian. All my attempts to use a let statement and the tokenize fn had either not validated in the ODD or had thrown an error at a later stage. This solves my immediate problem, and the technique will be useful elsewhere too.

I want Schematron to check that a target in a TEI/XML file corresponds to an xml:id in another file. My (possibly clumsy) report uses test="not(document('../personography/HAMpersons.xml')//tei:TEI//tei:person/[@xml:id] = substring-after(./@ref,'#'))" This works fine for the majority of cases, but ob...

Perfect! Thank you.

Thanks, Radu. I thought I'd tested with a non-regex string to eliminate the possibility of regex being the cause of failure, but perhaps I did that too hastily. I also tried fn:matches, but it cannot take a sequence as first argument. Is there a simple way of testing that all space-delimited values ...

Hi I'm embedding Schematron rules in a schema for validating a TEI/XML personography. I have eight reports that constrain the attributes and values in the context of <relation>. Seven fire correctly and one never fires. For some rules I'm tokenizing the value of @mutual and looking at the individual...

Hi Octavian. Many thanks for your answer. As you suggest, highlighting the beginning of the line isn't perfect, but it would be good enough for now. I've moved several errors and warnings for particular text strings from the <text> context to <lb>. The (relatively unimportant) warning about straight...

Just realised (Duh!) that I might be able to use the <lb/> at the start of every line. Should make the problem more tractable. Will try again with that in mind, and if that does it, apologies for having troubled you.

In my ODD file (for Relax NG XML) I want a Schematron test to identify straight quotes in text in mixed content files. I've tried this: <elementSpec ident="text" module="textstructure" mode="change"> <!-- Reminder about curly quotes in text --> <constraintSpec ident="quotes" scheme="schematron"> <co...

Thanks, Radu. Unchecking that option fixed the problem for my colleague. I don't think the rest of us had it checked. I'm going to get rid of most or all default choices in the schema anyway, as they don't really help.

Hi I've just started with ODD containing some elementary Schematron, generating a Relax NG XML file for validation of our TEI/XML files. For four members of our team the schema seems to work fine, but for one colleague, two rules in particular fire wrongly or fail to fire. We haven't spotted any dif...

I now suspect an XPR file, as removing that from my XMLs folder solved the immediate problem. I wasn't sure which line(s) in the XPR had blocked that kind of content completion, so clues would still be welcome. Thanks.

Hi. I have oXygen 21.1. When editing a TEI/XML file, content completion works fine for almost everything specified in our Relax NG schema when schema is associated with the file, except that when inserting a <note>, the attribute @hand does not prompt me for available xml:ids declared in the header....

Thanks, Radu. I might try TEI-L at some point for questions specific to that transformation. I got it to run by setting the corpus parameter to ${pdu}. As for the unwanted HTMLs, I'd already tried unchecking the "Open->In System Application' checkbox, but it hadn't helped. Today I figured out that t...

I'm trying to run oddByExample.xsl over a folder of some 400 TEI/XML files, following Lou Burnard's instructions at http://teic.github.io/TCW/howtoGenerate.html. If I follow Lou's instructions to the letter, I get an error: "Exception thrown by URIResolver: Malformed URL ...". This is from running t...

Thank you for quick responses. Should be OK now, touch wood.

PS. Or globally edit the text element in each XML to add the attribute xml:space="preserve" (and adjust schema accordingly), then allow the original XSLT to run with indent="yes". That looks a (deceptively?) simple fix. Is there a catch?

David

Thanks, Radu. I've found this useful discussion: http://tei-l.970651.n3.nabble.com/oXygen-and-the-quot-Format-and-Indent-quot-function-td2346233.html I'm currently thinking of doing the following. (1) Reverting my XMLs to the latest version before the XSLT edit which included indent="yes". (2) Remov...

Hi I wrote an XSLT to edit a folder of 400+ XML documents. It was meant to adjust many elements inside teiHeader/fileDesc without changing anything substantive in the rest of the teiHeader or in the text portion. When I added indent="yes" to the XSLT, it pretty-printed the whole header of the XMLs, ...

Many thanks for quick reply. My preferred solution, given that the website has server-side processing, is for a suitable XSLT 2.0 processor to be used. Is there any merit in XSLT 1.0 solutions which create a new root element and a set of new elements which copy the existing elements but give them th...

Beginner's confusion about the namespace of an XML and perhaps of an XSLT. This post overlaps with several previous posts, but I couldn't be sure I'd found the appropriate fix in them. Apologies if already answered. I have a set of XML files which reference an XSLT file and a Relax NG schema, as fol...

Works a treat. Thank you.

We have started marking precision on some XML date elements. An invented maximal example is as follows: <date when="1815-01-06" notBefore="1814-10" notAfter="1815">6 January c1815 <precision match="@when" precision="medium"/> <precision match="@notBefore" precision="high"/> <precision match="@notAft...
