Hi there, Using recent releases of the Jing jar file, we're finding that NVDL validation fails with error messages related to parsing of Schematron and namespaces. However, when we do the same validation in Oxygen, we don't see those errors, so it seems likely that Oxygen is passing some flag to Jin...

Hi Alex,

If it's as simple as dropping a new version of a jar file in the lib folder, then please do send it along (mholmes@uvic.ca). Otherwise, I'm happy to wait for the next release.

All the best,
Martin

Hi there, I have a bunch of code templates that look like this: <title level="a">${xpath_eval(replace('${selection}', '[“”]+', ''))}</title> which were working OK, but having just upgraded to 21.1, they don't seem to be working; nothing happens when I hit the keystroke sequence defined for the templ...

Hi Radu, Our problem is that the schemas and stylesheets are all interdependent, so both validation and transformation scenarios would have to be updated. The whole thing is a bit difficult to disentangle. I think we're going to stop supporting versions before 18.1, and use the wildcard approach. Th...

You're absolutely right. But with the JS I can write code and test it on any old machine, whereas I need a Java build environment to use Java. I always find it painful to get Eclipse set up for Java work and I tend to avoid it if I can. It would be neat if there were a docker container all pre-confi...

Looking at the AuthorCaretListener, I'm going to have to instantiate it when the editor is activated, of course. Is there any way to do this through a Document Type configuration in JavaScript, as I can do with regular Author actions, or will this have to be done through a plugin? It looks as though...

Ah! I hadn't noticed that. I guess I should be able to use it with a caret listener to highlight ranges when the caret hits an anchor.

Thanks indeed,
Martin

Figured it out. I don't need to cast the findNodesByXPath result to an array.

HI there, I'm working on creating actions using the JSOperation functionality, and encountering some problems calling API functions. Here's some example code: function doOperation() { var selText = authorAccess.getEditorAccess().getSelectedText(); var documentController = authorAccess.getDocumentCon...

Hi all, This may be an impossible goal, but it's worth asking: I have documents which are tagged in stand-off mode, using anchor elements, like this: ...This discussion covers <anchor next="#v2j_ht4_1hb" ana="e:institution" />institutional repositories<anchor xml:id="v2j_ht4_1hb"/> and library suppo...

Works perfectly! Thank you so much.

Cheers,
Martin

If I use surroundInFragment I get the same result: an extra space before the closing tag.

Hi there, I'm writing Author actions using the Document Type Author Action configuration, and finding a couple of oddities. First, an extra space is inserted following the closing tag of the element I insert; and secondly, the compound edit functionality seems to be failing (nothing happens when I u...

Hi Radu,

I'll let Council know and ask them again what they want to do about the plugin and support for older versions.

Cheers,
Martin

Hi there, I noticed today that the bleeding-edge (testing) version of the TEI plugin cannot do its normal TEI ODD to RNG transformation in Oxygen 21.0. I think this is because the transformation as configured is expecting to find saxon9ee.jar in the Oxygen lib directory, but it no longer seems to be...

Thanks Radu, that works perfectly!

Just for completeness I'd like to try one more time with JS -- could I get a hint as to the process of using the MenusAndToolbarsContributorCustomizer approach in JS?

Meanwhile, I'll download the SDK and start getting comfortable with the Java.

Cheers,
Martin

Thanks Radu! I'll have a go at figuring out the MenusAndToolbarsContributorCustomizer thing. I'm increasingly wondering if it would make sense to move this work to Java, but the JS approach is very convenient (no need for the SDK etc).

All the best,
Martin

I think I've figured out the problem with regard to some files getting the new menu item and some not; but I'm not sure how to solve it. If a document is opened in Author mode, then it gets the item. If it's opened in Text mode (which is the default for most of our projects), then it doesn't get the...

Hi there, When I right-click (in Editor mode) on the path to an image, I have the option to Open File at Cursor, and Open File at Cursor in System Application. In both cases, an image (JPG) is opened in the system application. Is it possible to configure Oxygen so that the first of these would open ...

One more thing I'm trying to figure out: At the moment, the operation (which inserts two elements and adds an attribute) is carried out in three steps; that means that if the user wants to undo it, they need to undo three times, which is a little confusing for them. Is there a way to wrap a sequence...

The symptom is that the menu item appears when I have no project open and just open a random XML document; but when I open a project which has a defined document type, along with code templates and so on, the menu item often fails to appear. I can get it to appear if I re-copy the plugin content int...

Hi there, This is working nicely so far, but I'm having a problem getting my plugin's right-click menu item to show up when the project itself has a document type defined, with its own Author Mode CSS. Is there something special I have to do in the Document Type configuration to make my plugin avail...

Thanks indeed for this really detailed and helpful answer!

Hi there, I'd like to ask what the most effective approach will be to providing the following simple sequence of actions in Author mode, through a plugin. I'd like to use JavaScript rather than Java, but if Java is required, I can live with it. This is the sequence of actions: 1. User selects text, ...

Hi there, One of the built-in Oxygen QuickFixes (which offers to delete text which is a child of an element that doesn't allow text children) conflicts with a custom QuickFix I've added to my schema (which offers to tag up the text automatically). I'd like to turn off the default quickfix, leaving o...

Doh! Thanks indeed. I'd given up and done it a different way, which also works fine: <pattern xmlns="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" xmlns:teix="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/Examples" id="dvpp-noTextInDivOrLg-constra...

Slightly tweaked version that has the same result, except that I get a linebreak inside the <lg> , which suggests that the regex is failing to match anything: <pattern xmlns="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron" id="dvpp-noTextInDivOrLg-constraint-rule-15"> <sch:rule xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/...
