Preventing unintended changes

It would be really useful for those of us who use Oxygen both to browse and to edit files to have a an easy way to temporarily switch off the possibility of editing a file that is loaded: perhaps using a toolbar button and/or keyboard shortcut to toggle editability on and off (in any mode). This wou...

Check boxes for boolean data

In a later release if it isn't possible now, would it be possible to optionally display and edit attributes of type xs:boolean using check boxes? Perhaps it could appear on the tag itself in full tags+attribute display in the author mode, and in the attribute perspective, and maybe even by a CSS pro...

Chain of XSLT

Is it possible to set up a transformation scenario in Oxygen 11 that uses a chained series of XSLT transformations, with each transformation taking as its input the output of the previous transformation, or do I have to do each separately? I have read the help files on setting up scenarios, and I ca...

Author mode very slow - follow up

The problem seems to relate to using any CSS stylesheet at all. If I remove all CSS processing instructions in the XML the Author mode runs fine without the stylesheet (with its normal complaint about not finding a CSS) and does so at normal speed, but of course then I lose all the visual advantages...

Author mode very slow

I have a problem with data entry gradually becoming very - indeed cripplingly - slow when using Author mode. I've tried the same file in Oxygen 10.0, 10.3 and now 11: the file is only 216KB but in Author mode it often takes as long as 5 or more seconds between typing a character and it appearing on ...

Author mode: elements view

Is it possible to set up the elements view in Oxygen so that where the schema defines the possible content as a sequence the elements are presented in that sequence rather than in alphabetical order?

Equivalent to greater than or less than test on strings

In an XSL transformation I find <xsl:if test="@num>preceding-sibling::element/@num"> ... </xsl:if> works fine as a test so long as the num attributes referenced have numerical values (e.g. when @num is 2 and the equivalent in the preceding sibling is 3, the result is false). Is there some ...

Is this functionality available in Author view? If not, can the option to insert arbitrary user-defined code templates in Author view be added to a forthcoming release?

CSS selectors

Are there any plans to support the extremely useful CSS 'last-child' and 'empty' selectors for the Oxygen author view soon? If not, please can I add this to your wishlist! In the meantime is there an easy workround?

Re: Completely disable Pretty-Print

My mistake - it only seemed to work. What in fact it did was to make the XML document valid against the Schema but then made the Schema itself invalid. The consequence of this seems to be that the XML document is not validated at all (hence no problems show up) because the Schema was unable to be va...

OK. Thanks, I have now done both the things in (2) and it seems to work. [In fact, I added <xs:attribute ref="xml:space" fixed="preserve" use="required"/> not to the root but to relevant descendant elements, to allow some reformatting, i.e. inserting line breaks in help...

Re: Help file font size

I don't think it is anything to do with IE 8. I only have IE 7 and I have this same problem with the Oxygen help file too. It wasn't present in the last release of Oxygen, only in the most recent one.

Thanks!

I am using Oxygen Author and trying to establish how to control the presence or absence of line breaks where I want them in a text file generated by applying an XSLT transformation to an XML file. The XML is as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE l1 SYSTEM &...
