Hi Alexey, The presented combo box has nothing in it probably because the XML element does not have a value set for that attribute. Did you somehow want that when the user click inside the combo box to automatically set an initial value for him to start with? As far as I know we do not have such fun...

Hi Yuri, Are you using the standalone Oxygen version or the Oxygen plugin for Eclipse? What version of Oxygen are you using? If you go to the Oxygen Preferences-> Network Connection Settings / HTTP(S)/WebDAV page and change the internal used HTTP Client to v3 do you obtain the same behavior? Could y...

Hi Alexey, In Oxygen 15.2 you do not have this possibility. We plan to release Oxygen 16.0 this week and in Oxygen 16.0 you will have a brand new editor variable called xpath_eval . You will be able to use it inside the ask editor variable like ${xpath_eval(@id)} and it will return for example the v...

Hi Mike, There is an Oxygen Plugin type called Workspace Access for which our Plugins SDK has a sample: http://www.oxygenxml.com/oxygen_sdk.html#Developer_Plugins Such a plugin can add toolbar buttons and also has API to add highlights in the editor area based for example on certain detected spell c...

Hi, The option "ignore CSSs in the associated document type" does what it says, it ignores the CSS associated in the document type configuration and uses only the CSS directly referenced in the document. What you were looking for was an option like "ignore CSSs linked in the XML docum...

Hi Alexey, The CSS linked in the document type is considered as having a very high priority. What you could try would be this: If you edit your custom document type configuration in the Oxygen Preferences->"Document Type Association" page in the Author->CSS tab you can only decide to ignor...

Hi Frank, Indeed Oxygen 15.2 and older report validation errors on ANT build files based on a specific schema so they might incorrectly report valid constructs as invalid. As I said Oxygen 16.0 which we plan to release in a couple of weeks will have huge improvements in this regard and will validate...

Hi Frank, Could you give us more details? In the Oxygen Preferences->"Document Type Association" page you can edit the "ANT" document type. This document type has a set of association rules. Right now all XML documents which have <project> as root element are considered ANT build...

Hi Belinda, I am not very familiar with the Word to DITA processing so my advice would be for you to write these questions on the yahoo Group DITA Users List, Eliot Kimber, the expert who developed the word to DITA plugins is registered on it and may help further. From what I looked, in the XSL: OXY...

Hi Frank, I don't quite know, hardly anybody uses the Legacy PDF transform anymore, you could try to look in the XSL: OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\plugins\legacypdf\xslfo\topicmerge.xsl If this does not help, maybe you could find some help on the DITA Users List. In my opinion if you w...

Hi Phil, So what I did to test things was this: 1) I copied the en.xml to the Customization_DIR_NAME\common\vars folder. 2) I edited the en.xml and modified the path to the image for note with type @notice: <variable id="notice Note Image Path">Customization/OpenTopic/common/artwork/notice...

Hi Jan,

I remember we changed the behavior to do exactly what you want (open links to web pages in a web browser) in oxygen 12.1.
So you should try to upgrade to a newer version of Oxygen (current version is 15.2).

Radu

Hi Kat, I will assume that you do not have English mixed with Chinese in the same text, you probably have separate tags in which you have either English or Chinese text. So as a workaround maybe you could set different fonts to those tags in the CSS like: *[xml:lang="ch-CH"] { font-family:...

Hi Phil, The paths to the image resources which you have in your custom en.xml should be like: <variable id="notice Note Image Path">Customization/OpenTopic/common/artwork/notice.gif</variable> in order to properly point to the artwork images located in the external customization folder. R...

Hi Scott, Oxygen uses the DITA Open Toolkit open source engine to generate various output formats from DITA content. There is no special setting for this, you will need to modify the XSLT stylesheets used to produce the XHTML output. This XSLT stylesheet: OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\x...

Hi Bill, I think you are on the right track. So you tried to add some kind of caret listener and disable the actions in certain places? Our own code also goes through the actions and enables them when the XML is opened and it might also enable/disable them based on certain listeners (caret, mouse) s...

Hi Frank, Thanks to your hints I now can run Ant successfully. However, now I get the following error message with the build.xml file that comes with the OT 1.7.5: It seems that you are not passing the transtype parameter to the external DITA OT. I do not know exactly what you are doing, what parame...

Hi,

You will probably need to located the PDF front-matter.xsl in your older DITA OT distribution and try to first understand and then customize the "createFrontMatter_1.0" template which outputs the first page of the PDF.

Hi Frank, So you have two problems: But now I get another error message when running the custom transformation: I implemented the DITA customization with the recommended plugin mechanism and copied the plugin to the external OT's plugin folder. I suppose the reason is that I have to run the "DI...

Hi Bill, Is it possible to create a custom toolbar (with custom actions) and have buttons which toggle? Right now you cannot define an author action in a document type association with toggle behavior (only push button). But we'll try to provide this useful functionality in a future version and I wi...

Hi, If you use a DITA Bookmap for your project (you have an example in: OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\samples\dita\it-book\taskbook.ditamap ) the bookmap can refer in its <frontmatter> section to a <notices> element which can refer to a topic which will be shown before the table of contents. The notices are sh...

Hi Frank, Indeed in the case in which you have an entity reference and external parameter entities the XML parser used by Oxygen (the open-source Apache Xerces library) does not report undefined entities. The XML Specs: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#include-if-valid If the entity is external, and th...

Hi Frank,

You probably edited the transformation scenario and in the Parameters tab set a value for the dita.dir parameter. That value must be a file path like C:\DITA-OT\DITA-OT1_7_2\build.xml and not an URL path like you have now file:\C:\DITA-OT\DITA-OT1_7_2\build.xml.

Regards,
Radu

Hi Frank, I reproduced this, the place in the build file where it crashes: C:\Users\radu_coravu\Desktop\xslthl\DITA-OT1.8.4\build.xml:44: The following error occurred while executing this line: C:\Users\radu_coravu\Desktop\xslthl\DITA-OT1.8.4\plugins\org.dita.pdf2\build.xml:150: The following error ...

Hi Alexandr, Sorry for the delay. For example, I have two user: USER_1 and USER_2. I open TEST_DOC.dita in Oxygen and I am adding four test comments by USER_1. After this I open TEST_DOC.dita in Oxygen by USER_2. I see all USER_1's comments. Then I open Review View(push button Manage reviews on Auht...

Hi Yuri, One possibility would be this API: ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.component.AuthorComponentFactory.setDITAKeyDefinitionManager(KeyDefinitionManager) which would allow you to provide the map of keys to be used by our code when computing conkeyrefs, keyrefs, clicking keyref links and so on. The ...

Hi, This thread was mostly about showing xsi:type as an attribute in the Text editing mode. For the Author editing mode you could probably use our Java-based API to add an AuthorDocumentFilter: http://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Editor/SDK/javadoc/ro/sync/ecss/extensions/api/AuthorDocumentFilter.html...

Hi Alexandr, Please see some answers below: 1. How customize Review View? How get access to Remove Comment action into Review View? We do not have API for this. What exactly is your use case? Could you give us more details about what you want to achieve? 2. How customize context menu on highlight co...

Hi Tom, Oxygen uses the open source DITA Open Toolkit project to publish DITA content to various output formats. The DITA 1.2 specs about topicset: http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/langref/topicset.html#topicset states something like: A <topicset> is similar to a source file that contain...

Hi Ulrike, I posted the issue you mentioned. Oxygen 15.2 comes with DITA OT 1.7. If you look in the Oxygen Help menu-> About dialog there is a tabbed pane called Frameworks in which you can see the bundled DITA OT version. If you are already using Oxygen 15.2 and the legacy PDF problem still manifes...
