I stopped using <oxygen/> a long time ago in favour of the likes of Sublime and VSCode (which have GUID generator plugins); however, back when I was experiencing this limitation in <oxygen/> I did make a little tool to ease this process. Essentially you run the tool; and then you use Ctrl+Shift+V in...

Okay fair enough, I will consider upgrading sometime in the future.

Even easier! <backmatter> <booklists> <glossarylist navtitle="Glossary" locktitle="yes" chunk="to-content"> <topicref href="topics/glossary.dita" type="dita" toc="no" linking="none"/> </glossarylist> <indexlist/> </booklists> </ba...

Ah, this is probably not the right solution, but it does appear to work. Instead of using the `glossgroup` element I am using the `dita` element and including it into my book map as follows: <backmatter> <booklists> <glossarylist> <topichead navtitle="Glossary" locktitle="yes" ch...

Hi I have created a glossary by creating a document with the root element "glossgroup" with the title "Glossary". In my bookmap I have added the following: <backmatter> <booklists> <glossarylist href="topics/glossary.dita" type="glossgroup"/> </booklists> </ba...

No worries, I have created a simple application that generates and pastes GUIDs automatically using a hotkey.

I have uploaded the application to GitHub for anybody interested:

Hi guys Is it possible to insert a unique GUID into XML documents when editing? I would like to add unique GUID's in my DITA documentation for the topic id attribute. In NotePad++ there there is a simple plugin that generates and inserts a GUID at the caret position. I was able to map this to a keyb...

Hi

Out of interest, has any progress been made on this in newer versions of Oxygen? (I am still using 10.3)

Many thanks

Hi guys, It would be great if <oxygen/> included a print function which can print XHTML+CSS3 to include features like: content: leader('.') target-counter(attr(href), page); At present the only way to achieve this is with a program called Prince (which is rather expensive). Many thanks, Lea Hayes

Thanks again for your help!

Hi George, I have another question regarding Jing and Trang. I created the following Windows batch file using your advise, and this has been working great. In a Java project I have added the "jing.jar" and "trang.jar" into the build path. Do you know how I can replicate the follo...

Thanks George, that is fantastic!

I have a couple of Schematron bits that get lost, but this isn't too much of a problem because I can just drop those back in manually.

Thanks again!

Hi guys,

I have a large selection of RelaxNG schemas files. There is one root most file which is called "selector.rng", and this includes the various other RelaxNG modules.

Is there a utility that will combine all of these schemas into a single file?

Many thanks!
Lea Hayes

> There is no specification that requires that. Surely "xml:base" must validate with "xs:anyURI"? It was actually Michael Kay (author of Saxon) who told me it was invalid to have an AVT in a "xml:base" attribute. And it certainly makes sense, because the "xml:base&...

Hi, I have recently experienced a serious problem with one of my stylesheets which could have been eased if the XSLT validation in the <oxygen/> editor raised the following as an error: <xsl:template match="something"> <!-- AVTs cannot be used for "xml:base" attribute! --> <somet...

Excellent, I have adjusted the plugin XML file so that when I patch in a couple of weeks it is all up and running! Here is the Java code of the plugin that I have created in case anyone else runs into this forum message: package custom.oxygen.plugin.comment; import ro.sync.exml.plugin.selection.Sele...

I have created the plugin, and it appears to work fine. It is a selection type plugin which shows up in the context menu.

How can I assign a keyboard shortcut to this plugin?

Preferably (Ctrl+Shift+,) because this is what I am used to.

Thanks,
Lea Hayes

Hi,

Thanks for the link, I will have a go at creating my own plug-in to achieve this until the feature is available in the <oxygen/> editor.

Cheers!
Lea Hayes

Hi guys, I use the (Ctrl+Shift+,) shortcut to comment out selected XML all of the time. However, often I am wanting to comment out XML which already contains comments. Naturally this causes problems because in XML it is not possible to nest comments. I think that it would be fantastic if this automa...

Sorry for the delay in response. Basically I wanted my own XML schema to indicate a warning instead of an error if the XML matches a certain criteria. For example, If an optional (but recommended) element is missing from an XML document I wanted to be able to display the warning indicator. Or if a v...

Hi, One of the features I like about the Oxygen xml editor is that it highlights errors and warnings with different colours. Is it possible to have a RelaxNG schema produce a warning (instead of just all errors) with the yellow indicator? Despite numerous searches on Google, I have been unable to fi...

Hi guys, This are two features that I would really like to see as well. It would also be fantastic if it were possible to specify manual header and footers (like in Microsoft Word) with special tokens which are automatically replaced with page number, or total pages, filename and path, etc. I have o...

Thanks!

That worked perfectly

Hi,

When I open a schema file in Oxygen XML editor it automatically splits the view into a diagram and markup.

Is it possible to make it so the diagram is initially closed? I have had a look through the settings, but I cannot find one to do this.

Many thanks,
Lea Hayes

Thanks George, I haven't used a lot of Schematron yet, but I think that I can probably work that out. How can Schematron be embedded in RelaxNG? Will this effect the "Schema Converter (Trang)" tools output when generating XSD files? I've seen something about "key" and "keyRe...

Hi, In my XML schema I have two separate identifier types as it were. I am using @xml:id and @name. They each identify a different type of content. I have got @xml:id working nicely by using data "ID" and "IDREF" for the @ref. How do I add a second class of ID/IDREF without causi...
