I do not believe this is a particular Oxygen problem. I have a large number of files making up a complete document. They all start with: <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.0//EN" "C:\Program Files\Oxygen 5.1\frameworks\docbook\dtd/docbookx.dtd" [ Do I have to edi...

It turns out that you have to enable PNG processing explicitly. Without this, the references to the bugs are silently ignored.

I can only comment on my experience. As for 1, I can only say that even on a lowly G4 1.2GHz iBook, I don't have to type slowly. If you believe that I shouldn't be getting the problems I do, I would appreciate your suggesting some clue as to why my documents get littered with <abbrev> tags. I take i...

I was originally asking if something could be done (disabling pop-ups). Rather than being told "It's not possible", I was given suggestions that didn't work (in the verison I'm using), or didn't actually address my question. It is possible that the way things are done is appropriate for cr...

I have reverted to verison 5.1 following problems with V6; your suggestion does not work in version 5.1. I am converting a very large document to use XML. It is impractical to select the complete body of text that will be enclosed in tags, as this would involve repeatedly moving the cursor backwards...

There must be something I am saying that is confusing you. I do NOT want the system to add a closing tag and leave the cursor between the two tags. I simply want </ to close the currently-outstanding tag. Doing what you suggest (which doesn't work anyway, turning off Tag Insight does exactly that - ...

I have a simple docbook file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.0//EN" "C:\Program Files\Oxygen 5.1\frameworks\docbook\dtd/docbookx.dtd"> <book> <chapter> <title>Test</title> <section><title>Testing</tit...

I think you still misunderstand my question. I want to be in a state where two things happen: 1: There are NO pop-ups. 2: When I type "<" followed by "/", I get the automatic completion of the end tag (without having to type anything else). So, if I type the six characters "...

If you read my question you will see:

How can I stop these pop-ups appearing and yet not lose the related
feature that is actually useful: auto-completion of tags?

Turning off tag insight also turns off automatic tag completion!

When I use Oxygen to create an XML document, it insists on popping up lists of options. For example, after typing "<" it displays a list of the items it thinks could follow. I find this extremely irritating, as the pop-up invariably covers text I need to look at and it is cumbersome to get...

Version 6.0 of Oxygen (build 2005051805) fails to transform my document to PDF and goes into an infinite loop. I have left it running for 20 minutes but it generates no output. The transformation cannot be stopped; I have to kill Oxygen. V5.1 completes the transformation successfully in under 3 minu...

If you move from one opened file to another by selecting the appropriate tab, the input focus is lost; you have to click on the file display window before being able to do anything (for example, scroll using Page Up/Down). Why does selecting a tab not put the input focus back where it was the last t...

It would have been helpful to have pointed out that the existing V6.0 product must be manually removed before the new one can be installed. It was annoying to find this out after downloading and having to repeat the installation. Even better, you should have given the corrected product a different v...

I have just upgraded to V6.0. First, it unhelpfully threw away all of my carefully-set options: I have put them back. However, now it insists on doing things I most certainly do not want it to do. In particular, whenever I type in a tag, it ALWAYS follows it by the closing tag. I do not want this. I...

I have a small example that uses docbook callouts. If I transform in the Oxygen environment using Docbook HTML, I get the expected output (having created the missing directory images/callouts and copying in the various .png files). However, if I use Docbook PDF, the callout bugs disappear - everythi...

Increasing the memory parameter from 180 to 400 (on a 1GB PC) solved the problem.

Glad things got sorted out in the end.

If you go to the User Guide and search for XInclude you get to a page that states: Here is an example of a chapter file that is included in a book file using XInclude. Nowhere on that page does it suggest that the example can only work from a particular directory. At the very least you should make t...

My point was that you have an example in the User Guide that doesn't work! I feel you should be the ones to correct it.

In Oxygen 5.1, as the number of open documents grows above about 18, the editing performance drops dramatically. The point at which things start to slow down is slightly variable. I have created 26 tiny xml files: A.xml..Z.xml. I start Oxygen and open the files one after another, starting with A.xml...

I have just created several new files for my project (Oxygen 5.1). When I select one and then choose "Add all to project", I get a warning that one of them has already been added. This is expected. No new files are added and from then on until I restart Oxygen, I cannot add any new files t...

I have been investigating XInclude with Oxygen 5.1 and I have found problems in the example from the User Guide. XInclude has been enabled and I am using the "Docbook PDF" transformation. I copied the example to a file c:\TEMP\test.xml. When I try to apply the transformation scenario, I ge...

Here is my XML file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.0//EN" "C:\Program Files\Oxygen 5.\frameworks\docbook\dtd/docbookx.dtd" [ ]> <book> <title>XXX</title> <chapter><title>YYY</title> <para>Here is a b...

guiicon was the first thing I tried, but it too puts the icon on a separate line

When transforming a document I get the message:

E Processing terminated by xsl:message at line 143

There is no other information and clicking on the message does nothing. How am I supposed to find the error when I have a large number of files, all > 143 lines long?

I have a number of small icons (.gif) that I need to display in running text. For example, If X and Y are two such icons, I want my PDF output to look like: Press the button X to start and Y to stop. Everything I have tried results in: Press the button X to start and Y to stop. Does anyone have any ...

Thanks to your help I have now managed to get the character from a different font into my document. To do this I have added the new font to my FOP configuration: <configuration> <fonts> <font metrics-file="impact.xml" kerning="yes" embed-file="../../Windows/fonts/impact.TTF&...

Thanks. That sounds more like it. I shall look into using "role". On the question of finding the ttf files, if the path is relative to the original Docbook document, (i.e., the one containing "<!DOCTYPE book ...") it implies that I must have separate copies of the fonts for every...

If I understand what you have said, I would have to change each appearance of the character manually whenever I wish to generate the PDF file. The character appears over 200 times! This would render Docbook useless for any large project.

I hope I have misunderstood.

I have two problems when trying to follow your suggestion: 1: It seems to be replacing the font for the whole document. All I want to do is to be able to use ONE character from a different font. The actual character is unicode &#x25BA; (a solid, right-pointing triangle). 2: I have used "imp...
