Hi Mandar, Yes, Oxygen installs and uses its own implementation of java.net.HttpURLConnection based on the Apache HTTP Client open source libraries. So creating an URL based on HTTP and opening a connection by calling its methods will return our custom connection. In order to use a SUN HTTP connecti...

Hi Anathea, We have support for having editor variables in a file template. For example if you open the file template: OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\templates\topic\Topic.dita you will see that it contains an ${id} editor variable which gets expanded when the user creates a new DITA topic. The ...

Hi Sander, As I replied here: http://tech.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/dita-users/message/28179 the problem can happen when the DITA Map references a DITA topic with a @href value which is not fully escaped, something like: <topicref href="Event Detail Types Listed/Detail%20sectionTo%20-%20Copy.d...

Hello Sebastien, Sorry but you cannot visually create table cells from an element's attributes. In the next Oxygen version (14.1) you will at least be able to edit attributes in-place using usual controls like combo boxes or text fields so at least this will maybe prove useful for editing attributes...

Hi Lea, I am still using Oxygen 10.3, is this possible? If you had a newer Oxygen version (I think 13.0 or newer) you would just have to open the new file template used to create DITA topics: OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/dita/templates/topic/Topic.dita and its content contains an editor variable li...

Hi Lea,

Sorry but we discussed this improvement request and this is not one of the directions in which we want to take Oxygen in the future.

Radu

Hi Eleanor, Oxygen tries to determine the elements which may be inserted at a certain offset based on the associated schema. Could you also share with us the schema (and dependencies) which is used to validate the XML fragment you provided? You can contact us directly using support@oxygenxml.com Reg...

Hi Sebastien, Here are a couple of ways (I would prefer alternative (1) for your case): 1) Create an XML catalog file in your framework directory which maps "http://www.s1000d.org/S1000D_4-1/xml_schema_flat/descript.xsd" to a local resource located in your framework directory like: <!DOCTY...

Hi, I understand. Apache FOP is run as an external process (as a different Java VM) in order to have better control over the memory it consumes. The started Java VM gives this warning when it tries to instantiate the java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferences class. When a fatal error occurs all the console...

Hi, You should make sure you are using Saxon EE 9.4.0.3 as an XSLT engine. You can either modify the transformation scenario and choose it as an XSLT engine then "Debug" the transformation scenario or if you are in the debugger perspective there is a combo box on the toolbar allowing you t...

Hi Christian,

A fix for this will probably be available in the next Oxygen 14.0 minor bug fix release available on site (probably in a couple of weeks).
This RSS feed announces such minor bug fix releases:

Hi Mandar, Oxygen also uses Apache Log4j internally for debug purposes. What we do when we want to show more logging (or logging for a certain package) is to configure a log4j.properties file in the OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR . Our default log4j.properties (which is not present in an installation kit) has t...

Hi Neil, If you edit the document type, in the Author tab there is a Content Completion tab. In that tab you have a list of Remove content completion items to which you can add the various items you do not want to see in the content completion window (with exactly the same name as presented there). ...

Hi Patrick, I think the problem was already fixed in the latest 14.0 build available on site: http://www.oxygenxml.com/build_history.html#2012070512 Options GUI: When editing/duplicating a document type, the ${framework} editor variable from URLs in the Classpath was not expanded when choosing an op...

Hi Patrick, This topic should be a starting point: http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/topics/localizing_frameworks.html Basically your translation.xml should look like this one: OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/docbook/i18n/translation.xml then if you edit the Docbook 4 document type, in the Classp...

Hi Patrick, You are talking about the possibility to customize icons in the Outline view using our Java API, right? We have a new API interface called: ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.node.customizer.XMLNodeRendererCustomizer If you edit a document type, in the Extensions tab you can now set your own imp...

Hi Sebastien, This is for the standalone version of Oxygen, right? Have you implemented a Workspace Access plugin until now using our Plugins SDK? One possibility would be to use for validation a very simple XML Schema in order for Oxygen to automatically validate the file each time the user modifie...

Hi Janette, Yes, the sequence "--" is not allowed in XML comments. But if you select the entire content, right click and choose Toggle Comment the trick that Oxygen does is to also escape the "--" sequence to something like "-\-". Afterwards you can use the same action ...

Hi Sebastien,

Sorry but currently we have no support either for floating boxes or for "flex" display.
I added your request to our issues list but it is hard to implement using our current architecture.
I'll update this thread if this ever happens.

Radu

Hi Belinda, Yes, we've had this limitation from the very beginning, but you are the first user to report it. On Eclipse the content is printed without wrapping the text according to the page width settings. I added an improvement request to try to remove this limitation on Eclipse and I'll update th...

Hi Simon, The method: ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.highlights.PersistentHighlightRenderer.getHighlightPainter(AuthorPersistentHighlight) is called for every highlight, and a highlight has access to the attributes set to it in the XML: ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.highlights.AuthorPersistentHighlight.g...

Hi Belinda, Just open the CSS: OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/dita/css_classed/dita.css and after the last import: @import "conrefs.css"; add the lines: @namespace oxy url('http://www.oxygenxml.com/extensions/author'); oxy|processing-instruction, oxy|comment, oxy|cdata{ white-space:pre-wrap...

Hi Belinda, Well, actually Oxygen 14.0 which was release a month or so ago changed displayed comments and processing instructions to be line-wrapped by default. But this can be done via the CSS, what type of XML documents are you editing? Maybe I can propose you some modifications if you cannot upda...

Hi Pablo, It's very hard for me to follow all your modifications. For example you are the DITA OT bundled with Oxygen 14 but the reported DITA version in the console is 1.3. This means that you have replace the bundled DITA OT with an older one, right? You also have problems in the libraries which a...

Hi, I also want the PrintOperation in the right click popup menu. Besides adding an author operation to the pop-up menu by editing the associated document type you can also use this API to customize the JPopupMenu before showing (API available also from the Author Component Provider side): ro.sync.e...

Hi, One might be a bug. I am getting a random "MY ACTION" button on my custom toolbars, that isn't listed anywhere in the toolbar. If I delete the toolbar where it appears, it jumps to my next custom toolbar instead. It's very odd. That's strange. So you are referring to the custom toolbar...

Hi Neil, The AuthorOperations only work with AuthorAccess. And AuthorAccess does not (yet) have API to call print. Maybe a workaround would be to avoid creating the "Print" action as an "AuthorOperation" (in the associated framework). In the applet you could add a custom toolbar ...

Hi Pablo, Are you using the DITA OT bundled with 14.0 or have you installed DITA OT 1.6 in a separate location? This probably is related to the libraries Oxygen uses to start the DITA OT ANT process. If you edit the transformation scenario, in the Advanced tab there is a Libraries button. By default...

Hi Pablo,

My knowledge of DITA specializations is not good enough to answer this question.
Maybe you should write about this on the DITA Users List with some small examples. Eliot Kimber, the master of DITA specializations replies to threads quite regularly there.

Radu

Hi Victor, There was an older DITA Open Toolkit version in which flagging indeed was not rendered in the PDF, but recent versions of the DITA OT overcame this limitation. Flagging in PDF seemed to work for me using Oxygen 13.2 and the bundled DITA Open Toolkit. So there are several stages: 1) In you...
