OK so Format and Indent evidently does tidy up blank lines that contain spaces.

So maybe we should delete this entire topic. I'd delete it if I could...

A bit more info. One use case is that oXygen XML Editor creates blank lines containing SPACE characters when pasting indented text. If there are blank lines, oXygen puts spaces into those lines ala auto-indent or the like. As I said, I have some REGEX that deletes the vestigial spaces. But it would ...

And now that I'm thinking about it, other structured text editors such as Visual Studio Code can be configured to remove spaces from blank lines when a file is Saved. I find that behavior very convenient...

A small addition to my original suggestion. I initially thought that auto-indent was putting SPACE characters in blank lines. That may or may not be true. The other possible culprit seems to be pasting indented text that includes blank lines(?) In any event, I periodically end up with blank lines th...

For oXygen XML Editor 22. IF I use blank lines to make a topic's structure a bit easier to navigate visually, THEN auto indentation or some other tool/process sometimes puts SPACE characters into blank lines(?) The problem then becomes that IF a blank line contains spaces, THEN Preferences -> Editor...

Thanks Radu. It was a bit un-obvious where to find it. But now that I have it works. Cheers, Riley SFO

I suspect my question has been asked and answered before but Search isn't returning a previous instance. So I'll ask (again)... In a DITA topic file, IF I want to insert a new / fresh value for the topic's ID, how (besides Quick Fix) can I do that? For example, I have an empty ID spec ala id="&...

Thanks as always Radu. Riley, SFO...

For oXygen XML Editor 21.1, dita-ot-3.4. This isn't so much a problem as it is something I'd like to understand. In the DITA-OT map file customization.ditamap oXygen XML Editor 21.1 displays a warning about the line with the keyref . <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTY...

Thanks Radu.

That fixed it. Good "trick" to know...

What about the different DITA formatting options such as XSL-FO and CSS? I've believe I've just collided with this issue. I've been creating DocBook content as a learning exercise. It appears that getting nicely formatted and branded PDF out of DocBook requires one to go cave-diving into the XSL-FO...

------ For <oXygen/> XML Editor 21.1, build 2019120214. I receive errors when trying to generate a one-page DocBook 5.1 topic as PDF. I've only just begun exploring DocBook. So the problem may simply be my inexperience. The DocBook topic's XML validates without error Transformation Scenario == XML w...

Actually another extremely(!) good tool for developing REGEX is regex101.com . I just used it to convert a lowercase character to uppercase. Example excerpt follows. Target text (excerpt): <td>kill REGEX (case-sensitive find): <td>([a-z]) REGEX substitution: <td>\U$1 Result: <td>Kill For information...

Currently running oXygen XML Editor 21.1. In oXygen, I'd like to be able to use REGEX find/replace to change case ala this example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20742076/regex-replace-uppercase-with-lowercase-letters I understand only a few REGEX engines support upper to lower or lower to upp...

Thanks as always, Adrian.

Good to know my question will contribute to tidying up the HELP page a bit, too.

For oXygen 21. As part of learning XSLT I'm doing examples from a book. But oXygen XML, debug view, Nodes/Values Set panel isn't displaying the transform's context node . Here's the target XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <menu> <appetizers title="Work up an Appet...

For oXygen XML Editor 21, Java-based Linux version. It seems that tiling editors vertically places the editing windows in the order they were opened (versus alphabetically)? Also, when I've tried drag-and-drop'ing tiled editor windows, all I've been able to achieve is UN-tiling the editors. That is,...

oXygen XML Editor 21, Java-based "other" version to enable running on Linux Mint 32-bit. When I run a transformation scenario, oXygen XML Editor 21 displays a Transformation problems panel at the right side of the program's workspace. Unlike other panels or view that I can dock in other po...

For oXygen XML Editor 20.1, fully updated. I used the information in this page -- https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/20.1/ug-editor/topics/git-addon.html -- to install the Git add-on. So far it works nicely. BUT when I installed it, oXygen XML warned me that the add-on wasn't signed. I this morn...

I'll note that as of today, oXygen XML version 20.1 help still returns results for Compiling LESS Stylesheets to CSS but nothing for Sass...

Can someone please point we less sophisticated users to the information needed to "create (or copy from some place) your own icon for it and set it to the action"?

For oXygen XML Editor version 20, Linux Mint 32-bit, JRE version 8. (I'm loving using Linux and love being able to run oXygen XML on it.) OK, but I have one problem. In my Linux system have a physical project folder / directory. As in not aliased, not linked-to. IF in the Caja file manager I double-...

Howdy: The good news is that the CTRL+e shortcut is exactly what I'm looking for. The less good news is that it took me two days to find it. That's because I searched oXygen XML Editor (19) online help, and tried filtering Options > Preferences > Menu Shortcut Keys -- for the word wrap . Don't know ...

For oXygen XML Editor 18. Per my experiments and the oXygen XML 18 online help topic Compiling LESS Stylesheets to CSS , oXygen XML 18 supports LESS compilation. Yay! Q: Is there any chance of getting Sass added to the list of supported editor modes AND CSS preprocessors? Q: Might a version 18 user ...

So basically what you want would be that in the Project view, when you right click to have a submenu with all already defined external tools. After you invoke one of them the editor variables like cfd, cfdu, cf.... should be expanded based on the current project selected file and not on the current...

Currently using oXygen XML Editor 18 (great product). Would it make sense to add the ability to more easily open a particular file in a previously defined External Tool ? To give but one example, I have a couple of different Web browser profiles that I use to verify the appearance and operation of X...

For oXygen XML Editor, version 18. Should I expect oXygen XML Editor 18 to properly display SVG images when working in Author mode? I'm using oXygen to edit an XHTML 1.1 page that both the W3C validator and oXygen 18 validate without errors. (oXygen is, by the way, overall a very nice XHTML and CSS ...
