Thanks for the kind words

Hi Steve, We had the same issue with the 10.2 a week ago but we updated the kit on-site with the same fixes so that is why 10.2 also works. We'll also release 10.3 in a matter of days and it should also have no more problems with the new Apple Java updates and run OK with Snow Leopard (Java 1.5 or 1...

Hi Steve, This is indeed probably caused by the Java updates. We already had reports about the updates crashing Oxygen with Java 1.6 or on Snow Leopard with both 1.5 and 1.6. We updated the Oxygen 9.3 kit with some fixes which should solve this. So please re-download the 9.3 kit from: http://archive...

Hi Simon, The code should be something like: AuthorNode contextNode = authAccess.getDocumentController().getNodeAtOffset(insertOffset); if(contextNode.getType() == AuthorNode.NODE_TYPE_ELEMENT) { String ns = ((AuthorElement)contextNode).getNamespace(); } Regards, Radu

Hello Simon, When we made the author extensions we made the decision that XML fragments inserted with the specific insert actions needed to have the namespace fully specified on them. So if your main XML file looks like: <root xmlns="http://rootns.com"> ........................ </root> and...

Dear Richard, Thank you for contacting us. First of all about CSS: When editing in the Author page, Oxygen uses CSS to apply styling to the edited document so that it looks close to the generated output. The XML itself does not contain any styling information. The CSS files used by Oxygen for editin...

Hi Mike,

A fix will be available in Oxygen 10.3 (couple of weeks).

Hi,

Assigning keyboard shortcuts to Oxygen plugins will be available in Oxygen 10.3

Hi Jan,

We'll try to allow for multiple selection in the Author in a future Oxygen version.
For now you can use the multiple selection and Drag And Drop available in the Outliner to move multiple tags.

Radu

Hi Dylan, You should be able to do this using the Oxygen 10.3 API. Oxygen 10.3 will appear in a couple of weeks. I suspect you already have an Oxygen 10.2 beta. I am not sure the beta you have contains the API, but here is goes: How this should be done (if no API changes appear before the 10.3 relea...

Hi Sean,

Thanks for sharing the problem and solution with us.

Hi Lea, Thanks for the code tip :) We'll try to improve the in-editor "Toggle Comments" to take into account already existing comments in time for Oxygen 10.3 probably using the same escaping \ between the illegal -- that you suggested. If this gets implemented, this will also be available...

Hi Lea, Starting from Oxygen 10.3 (couple of weeks) you will have the ability to assign keyboard shortcuts to your custom plugin actions. Here is the modification which you will have to perform to your plugin.xml file in order to assign shortcuts to the action: <extension type="selectionProcess...

Hi Lea, Indeed we know about this limitation when using the "Toggle Comments" operation and we'll probably try to fix it in a minor version of Oxygen 11. Your suggested solution to escaping inner comments is indeed a good one and we'll probably use something very similar to what you propos...

Dear Graeme, I assume you are running Windows. Starting from version 10 Oxygen tries to detect if HTML Help Workshop is installed and if it finds the registry key for it it will try to compile the project mapName.hhp using the workshop to obtain the compiled CHM output mapName.chm . If you have a ve...

Hi, You are probably referring to the pretty-print which is done when the XML displayed in the Author page gets saved. You can either set an "xml:space='preserve'" attribute on the XML root element or in the associated CSS file add a rule like: * { white-space:pre; } Of course the rule can...

Hi, There are two situations in which problems like this can occur. 1) Loading an XML file which specifies an encoding and contains characters which cannot be loaded using that encoding. 2) Adding illegal characters to an already loaded file and then trying to save it. We already improved the second...

Hi Jarno,

This should be fixed in Oxygen 10.3 (couple of weeks).

Radu

Hi, Just to make sure we understand your use-case: You open a file in Oxygen (encoded in UTF-8 for example), you change the encoding in the XML header to "ascii" and then save. When saving, the error message does not offer any indication of the line/column where the "offending" c...

Hi Jan,

I added this as a feature request for a future version.

Regards,
Radu

Could it be possible to add an option to enable / disable the current behavior? If the behavior was disabled I suppose you could handle drag / dropping files easier. Unfortunately this is not possible right now without completely breaking the docking feature for editors. Would it be possible to get...

Hello, We will consider adding an option which will allow '.' to also match line breaks however this most probably will not be the default behavior. The reason is, in some cases, you may want to preserve the white spaces(space="preserve") and this feature would interfere and probably lead ...

We have added support for replacing \n, \t and \0...\9. It will be available in the next minor version, 10.3.

Regards,
Radu

Hello,

The "look-around" issues have been addressed and the fix should be available in the next minor version(10.3).

As for the multi-line support can you give us an example of a use case?

Regards,
Radu

Hello,

We will probably add support for replacing with \n and \t in a future version.

Regards,
Radu

Hi, The problem is that the drag behavior is used to re-arrange or split editor tabs in the edit area. We cannot add the behavior of dragging tabs to the DITA Maps Manager or to the Project without disabling the default behavior which is done through a third party component (the Jide docking framewo...

Hi Jarno, We already have this done in the current development stream. So if you drop files (from Project or Windows explorer) in the DITA Maps manager tree they will be linked as topic references. If you drop them on the toolbar they will be opened. We can give you a beta to test this. Regards, Radu

We'll probably go with one of those

Hi Jarno, We added some handlers for the split and for frameworks like DITA, Docbook 4 and 5, TEI P4 and P5, XHTML id's are no longer copied on split. In addition for DITA the "conref" will be no longer copied on split. The changes will probably be available in Oxygen 10.3. If you want a b...

Here are the names we came up with
"Replace conref with content"
"Replace with content"
"Merge Referenced Content"
