Re: Repeating chapter titles at the top of each page

Hello, The only solution that came to me in mind is to duplicate the chapter in order to add the title again in the document: <chapter keyref="using_the_product"> <topicref keyref="topic1" outputclass="page-break-after"/> </chapter> <chapter keyref="using_the_produ...

Re: Error "cannot invoke "String.length()" because "<local12>"is null."

Hi,

Could you try to start Oxygen using the oxygen.bat script and launch the transformation again, then copy the stacktrace here?
Or you can try to send us the debugging log of Oxygen in the online form.

Regards,
Julien

Re: Error "cannot invoke "String.length()" because "<local12>"is null."

Hello,

Is it possible for you to send us the console output of the transformation? It is in the tab named after the transformation:

You can send it directly to support@oxygenxml.com for analysis.

Re: Crop marks using Chemistry

Hello,

I don't have <oXygen/> XML Editor 25.1, build 2023042509, only the last maintenance build 2023070306 but the problem doesn't seems to be present on this version.
Maybe you could try to update to this last maintenance build and see if the page numbers align.

Re: Xpath epressions in SVG not expanding

Hello David,

The file extension must be .template.svg for the processor to use it as a template. Default SVGs with classic extensions aren't processed.
