Hi, In Oxygen 16.1 there was an option called: Check for duplicate element IDs within a topic we removed that option because the specification states something like: http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/archSpec/id.html Thus, within a single XML document containing multiple peer or nested to...

Hi Johann, Sorry but we do not have API which would allow you to customize the way in which the fold icon looks like or is placed. Maybe a possibility would be not to use our folding support at all. You can add form control buttons in the Author mode which can be associated to Author actions. An Aut...

Hi Konstantin, The method "AuthorComponentFactory.setOpenURLHandler" is static, you can set a single open URL handler which handles the open events in your entire custom application. So you should set the open url handler only once. And for each tab you open you should keep a global mappin...

Hi Konstantin, How exactly are you using our SDK, are you using it as a Maven project or just downloading the ZIP containing all JAR libraries and using it as such? About the removed annotation @API, the 17.1 SDK should now contain a new JAR library called "oxygen-annotations.jar" which sh...

Hi Chuck,

I answered you here:

Dear Chuck, When the DITA Open Toolkit publishing engine is running, it reports a lot of information in the DITA OT console view. Oxygen tries to gather from the console reports which refer to various problems encountered by the publishing engine and display these messages separately in a "Prob...

Hi Patrik,

Indeed the oxygen.jar contains inside it patches, patches both for an older version of Apache IO (1.3.1) and for other libraries including the Xerces library. So you took the right decision to move the reference to the new IO library as high as possible in the list.

Regards,
Radu

Hi Patrik, You took the right decision. The problem is that in that hard coded list of libraries Oxygen adds by default there is also a reference to the "commons-io-1.3.1.jar" shipped with Oxygen so you needed the reference to the latest IO library to be before that in order to ensure that...

Hi Patrik, You should edit the transformation scenario and in the "Advanced" tab click the "Libraries" button and add a new link to the library: DITA-OT\lib\commons-io-2.4.jar In DITA OT 2.1.0 the library has a different name so Oxygen by default added that JAR library name to th...

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this issue, your analysis is correct.
It looks like a bug in Oxygen, we'll look into this and try to fix it in the next Oxygen version (version 18, next year in Spring).

Hi Amber,

Could you tell me what that CMS is? Maybe it has a special connector for Oxygen.
How exactly does Oxygen work with the CMS, does it access resources via WebDav or do you check out resources locally and edit them there?

Hi, In the XSLT stylesheet: DITA-OT/plugins/org.dita.pdf2/cfg/fo/attrs/commons-attr.xsl are all the attribute sets used to output a topic's title like "topic.title" (for first level topics), "topic.topic.title" for second level topics, "topic.topic.topic.title" for thir...

Hi Roger, Right now we do not have this support to reuse the value returned by the ask variable in multiple places. I will add an issue for it and it will be discussed. One possibility if you have a Java developer could be to implement an Oxygen plugin and use our API to add a custom editor variable...

One more thing:

A similar procedure is done if you have a framework and use in the CSS various icons:

Hi Patrick, So let's say your plugin adds a new toolbar button with your custom image. Somewhere in an "images" folder you have an image called let's say myImage.png which you currently use for that button. Besides that image in the same folder you should have another image called myImagee...

Hi Amber, You should use the "Insert/Edit Content Reference" action only when you have an existing DITA element on which you want to either set a @conref attribute or edit to current @conref attribute to change its target. But if you want to insert a new conref (along with the XML element ...

Hi Amber, This is quite an unusual request. Could you give me more details about why you want to do this? Relative paths are more easy to manage are more robust to changes (like moving your entire project to another folder). We have no setting for this. We do have Java-based API which would allow yo...

Hi Ari, Besides what Adrian said, about your remark: For some reason I've never noticed that you use US Letter by default Actually we started doing this in 17.1, the default CSS for editing Docbook tries to show a page-like layout instead of letting the content span the entire screen width. In the C...

Hi Christine, Probably that import tool she is using looks and imports only topics directly linked in the DITA Map. So your student could refer to each topic which contains reusable content also in the DITA Map with references like: <topicref href="reusables/reusableFigures.dita" processin...

Hi Peyton, Each Oxygen version comes with the latest Saxon 9 XSLT processor available and it uses it during DITA OT transformations. It's possible that the Saxon processor may signal certain errors which it tried to silently ignore in older versions. But there is definitely a problem in the XSLTs. C...

Hi Roger,

This is not possible right now.
Could you give me more details about your particular situation?
Maybe in the DITA Map you could have that value in only one place and in all other places have conrefs to it. Because you can use conrefs also in map content.

Regards,
Radu

Hi, This usually happens if you have edited the transformation scenario and set the parameter fix.external.refs.com.oxygenxml to true . Usually people enable this parameter when they have projects in which the published DITA Map has references to topics outside of the folder where it is located: htt...

Hi Trish,

Glad this works for you.
About this remark:

Just a note on your help page, the version of fop-pdf-images that you need is 2.1, and is not on the page that is linked from the user guide.

You are absolutely right, we'll fix the download page link in the next release.

Hi Sébastien, I'm not sure I understand. There is no special "Oxygen log file". Oxygen uses the Apache Log4j libraries to log internal debug messages. And the libraries will output this debug information in the places specified by the "log4j.properties" file which can be placed i...

Hi Johann, Unfortunately the code which parses the frameworks on our side is not xi:include aware. Maybe as possible workarounds you could: 1) Use entity references instead. 2) Generate the final ".framework" files from your own set of ".framework" files by applying an XSLT style...

Hi, The first time you post on our forum, the post needs to be manually approved. This is a protection against spammers. But all your other messages from now on will be directly posted. About the user manual topic link you gave, it refers to rendering PDF images when editing XML documents in the Aut...

Hi Ari, What version of Oxygen are you using? On the Author toolbar there is a "Styles" drop down. You could try to check in it the "Full Width" layer. By default Oxygen tries to squeeze the content in an US Letter width. We considered this to be easier for writing on very wide m...

Hi Martin, In Oxygen 17.1 we added some security control in the application, among which letting the end user know when the XSLT or XQuery engine tries to connect to a remote site. That null part of the message looks like something we fixed in the latest 17.1. But as you are already using it, maybe ...

Hi, About this remark: It is strange because when I validate my xml file in Oxygen by using xerces I don't have the problem. Oxygen also uses Xerces for validation but it completely controls the Xerces parser by directly using its Java API. For example in cases in which the XML has a DTD associated ...

Hi,

I'm not sure if this can be made to work or not, never tried it myself.

Looking at the ANT documentation for the task you are using:

https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/schemavalidate.html

it seems to have a disableDTD attribute but I'm not sure if it would help you or not.
