Hi Adrian, These books comprise all of our documentation. They share the same transformation settings, conditional text settings, and so on. There is topic reuse across the books, and there are cross-references between the books. At https://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/post58690.html you can see an expla...

Useful technique, thank you!

Is there a way to write a CSS selector so that it is only applied when the parameter is set to a particular value?

Hi Adrian,

We have about 50 writers sharing the same project file. Each of us works on a different set of books, and that varies over time depending on the workload assigned to us. The favorites for one writer wouldn't apply to the others.

Another thought - it should be possible to add a directory to the favorites list, so that when expanded, it shows the contents as they currently are (i.e. the favorite directory contents are the filesystem contents, not further static favorite entries).

These options can also be found in the " Profiling/Conditional Text " and " Profiling/Conditional Text/Colors and Styles " preferences pages. You set to store the options from these pages in the project file (selecting the "Project Options" radio button from the bottom of the page). For this, the p...

It would be useful to have a "favorites" folder in the Project view where I could add/remove files I tend to work on most often, with the information being stored in my user-level Oxygen settings:


The favorites would be at the top of the Project list where they are most accessible.

Hi everyone, There was indeed a bug with conditional PDF metadata when the cover page was suppressed. This bug will be fixed in the next release of the PDF Chemistry publishing engine. Here is the CSS we will use to conditionalize our PDF data for our books (no @outputclass on map) and release notes...

Hi Alex, In the following screenshot, I wrote "awesome" and the other person wrote "boring": image.png Even though I understand the reason for it, it's confusing for "Yours" to not have my changes on the left and "Theirs" to have my changes on the right during rebase. Can you consider the following ...

Hi Dan, I see what you are saying now. This indeed works! div[class~="bookmap"][outputclass~="A"] *[class ~= "front-page/front-page"] { -oxy-pdf-meta-title: "A1"; -oxy-pdf-meta-author: "A2"; -oxy-pdf-meta-description: "A3"; } div[class~="bookmap"][outputclass~="B"] *[class ~= "front-page/front-page"...

Hi Dan,

Also, the tool is not using any of my definitions. It's using something else and I can't figure out where it's coming from.

Hi Dan, I did read that documentation. In the following CSS selectors, there is only one bookmap element, and only one of the bookmap conditions will be true for any given document (outputclass is A, B, or not set), so there will only be a single match: div[class~="bookmap"][outputclass~="A"] {...} ...

Hi Dan, The unset properties were there to see if the default properties were overriding my attempt to set the title. The problem is that I cannot get the -oxy-pdf-meta-title to apply in this code: div[class~="bookmap"][outputclass~="A"] { -oxy-pdf-meta-title: "A1"; -oxy-pdf-meta-author: "A2"; -oxy-...

Hi everyone, We have a few different document types (books, release notes, installation notes) that require slightly different PDF formatting. So far I've had good results setting an @outputclass attribute on the <bookmap>: <bookmap outputclass="install_notes"> then using that as a CSS selector to t...

I do have two strongly wanted enhancement requests: 1. Auto-pulling remote non-conflicting commits would be very helpful. Despite repeated requests, many writers still go days between pulls. Our commit graphs have many parallel and intertwining nonsynchronized paths because of this. Debugging commit...

Hi Alex, While looking into Git submodules: https://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/post58267.html?hilit=git%20plugin#p58267 I think I figured out that differences in LF/CRLF line endings were the cause of my Git client interaction issues. I will retry my sparse checkout experiments to see if they work, and...

Thanks Sorin! Based on your findings, I was able to create a simple file named "DocumentList.xml" in the current directory: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <bl:block-list xmlns:bl="http://openoffice.org/2001/block-list"> <bl:block bl:abbreviated-name="foo" bl:name="bar2"/> </bl:block-list> th...

Hello Chris, From what I tried a few moments ago, having a *.dat archive containing only a DocumentList.xml file, with the proper structure, is enough. In regard to the name of the *.dat file, you should first read https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/22.1/ug-author/topics/autocorrect-dictionarie...

I'm attaching a testcase that demonstrates the issue.

Hi all, We have 40 ditamaps and counting in our project. To enable our writers to adjust cross-references when moving files, I added all the ditamap files to the Master Files list. Unfortunately, now the Context drop-down menu in the DITA Maps Manager is showing the first 20 maps from the DITA Maps ...

Hi Cosmin, I just tried this out and it works brilliantly - thank you!! Here is the command line I used for the LibreOffice Math equation editor in LibreOffice 6: "C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\smath.exe" --nologo "${cf}" The --nologo option suppresses the splash screen, which provides a more...

Hi Cosmin,

I just tried this out and it works brilliantly - thank you!!

Hi all, I'd like to provide some company-specific AutoCorrect entries to our writing team. We store our project on a Git server. From the documentation at https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/22.1/ug-author/topics/add-dictionaries-for-autocorrect.html I see that I can provide an incremental AutoCo...

Hi Alex, I did some experimenting with Git submodules through the Oxygen Git plugin. The basic functionality is there, but some of our writers are nontechnical and anything beyond a pushbutton interface will invite confusion. Accordingly, I have the following enhancement requests: 1. When you clone ...

Okay, I think I figured it out. On my Windows 10 machine, I have Oxygen for Windows installed, and I have Ubuntu linux installed via WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). By default, Oxygen's Git plugin converts text files to CRLF upon checkout. In that same repo directory, if I commit a CRLF file via ...

Here's another strange finding - if I discard the files, they come back listed as "modified" when I switch focus away from Oxygen and switch back!

crlf-test.tgz Hi Alex, So you have pointed me down the right path, and it looks like it's not related specifically to submodules at all. We have a mixed environment with multiple Git clients: Oxygen for Windows Git client Git for WIndows Git command line in Ubuntu linux I created LF and CRLF versio...

Hi Radu, Thanks for the reply and thought. It's more that we select the label text to wrap it in <codeph> (or another) tag. Or we might want to copy/paste the label into another window to search internal documentation or paste it into a terminal window. From a broad perspective, underscores are simp...

Hi all, I tried to use the Git submodule feature of the Git plugin today, but didn't work as I expected. When I switch to a submodule, the plugin shows every file in the submodule as having an uncommited local change: image.png If I select all files and Discard them, the list becomes empty - but onl...

When I double-click in the Oxygen editor, it selects a phrase for me. Currently, this phrase selection stops at underscores. However, I would like it to select through underscores, as almost all the labels we wrap in <codeph> in our documentation have underscores in the names. It would be very usefu...

Hi Radu, I have writers that are asking for such a combination of features: Allow topic editing in a map with resolved topics (this request) Allow resolved-maps to be opened from a selected branch of the map This would allow them to open all topics relevant to a particular feature, then edit those t...
