DocBook to Epub cover tweaks

I'm loving the DocBook to Epub transform, and I have figured out how to get most of my customizations in there. 2 minor issues are plaguing me: 1) Is there a way to change or customize the filename generated for the cover image (JPEG for me) in the "images" folder? It appears that the file...

When to Use Character Codes

I'm pretty new to XML and coding generally, but picking it up quickly. One question I can't seem to figure out is when I should use character codes for characters (such as &#8212 for em-dash) instead of using the character itself in the XML. For example, if I paste in content from Word to a DocB...

Using SVN to track changes inside ePub

Oxygen offers such great support for working with ePubs: the ability to edit and search inside without unzipping it is invaluable. I'm starting to implement my epub work in an SVN repository. At a glance, it looks like the SVN client can't track differences inside an ePub, even though all the files ...

Smart Paste MSWord to DocBook Documentation?

I absolutely love the smart paste capability when moving a document from MSWord into DocBook. Is there any documentation on how Oxygen processed the styles in MSWord? I still have to do a lot of cleanup on my DocBook doc, but if I had a better idea of how Oxygen handles the import, I can set up rule...

Re: text view: breaking attributes

It's just a readability issue for me, and I'm still relatively new to this stuff, so maybe its silly. But I don't like it when the attributes on my inline elements make the line break (my lines have lots of text and get long)--I like having block elements on their own lines. I know it doesn't make a...

text view: breaking attributes

This is a minor issue, but it's cause me grief: I'm working in HTML and DocBook primarily, and when I use the Indent feature to automatically clean up my XML or HTML for reading in the Text view, Oxygen adds newlines to tags with attributes. I don't want that. In the Preferences pane, I have uncheck...
