Display problems in Internet Explorer

Post by **shygin** » Sun Jul 02, 2006 10:15 am

Hi,

I am a novice in XML and also a newbie to oxygen XML editor. I have recently tried to convert a doument in MS word to XML. For that i had copied the whole text from Word to Oxygen XML editor and provided suitable tags using TEI DTD. It got successfully parsed but when i view it in Internet Explorer, at the end of each tag its providing a line break, though when i view it in oxygen whole thing is in a single line.

My code:-
<p>Declaration of Independence <q>We the people of......... against anti–slavery</q>.— Declaration</p>

This when viewed in IE 6.0, becomes like this:-

<p>Declaration of Independence "We the people of......... against anti
_

slavery"
.
_

Declaration</p>

I have tried changing the options in Preferences but still the problem persists. I am not sure where I am going wrong. Is there any settings in OXygen that will help me to solve this or it has something to do with IE 6.0.

Please someone guide me.

Thanks

SNV

Hello,

It is a problem of IE 6.0. Replace the — and – references with the character codes:

Code: Select all

antiâ€“slavery&#8217;.&#8212; Declaration

An alternative is to transform the TEI document to HTML using the TEI HTML transformation scenario in <oXygen/> and make sure Open in browser is selected in the scenario to open the HTML result in a browser. If IE 6.0 is not the default browser you should set the path to iexplore.exe in Options -> Preferences -> Global -> Default Internet browser so that the HTML result is opened in IE 6.0.
