Oxygen XML Forum

Using Oxygen 4.0 on Windows NT with an RNC schema.

Sometimes the prefix (foo:body) displays in the Tag insight dropdown, and that's what appears in the document, which is what I want, and sometimes the namespace itself does (http://www.example.com/foo:body), which is not what I want.

Further, editing the document seems to affect what appears in the dropdown -- typing in foo:body, even though that doesn't appear in the Tag Insight dropdown, will then cause the other prefixes to appear.

I don't have reproducible behavior yet, though I've certainly been trying to create it.

If there's an explanation somewhere of how namespace display works in tag insight, that would be a helpful start.

Insight default attributes is off.

TIA.

Hi,

Oxygen identifies a set of elements that should be presented by the content completion popup in the current context. Each of these elements has a namespace and a local name. The current context, among other things, defines a set of proxy namespace mappings. If there is a proxy associated with the element's namespace then we present the element as proxy:element (foo:body in your example). If there is no such prefix then oXygen will present the element in the content completion popup prefixed with the actual namespace separated by a "#" character. When selecting such an element for insertion in the document oXygen will add the element together with setting the default namespace to the element namespace (using xmlns attribute).

Thanks for answering.

What do you mean, concretely, by "there is a proxy associated with the element's namespace "?

Can you give an example using markup? Thanks.

Hi,

A proxy can be associated with a namespace using the xmlns:proxy attribute, where proxy stands for the proxy to be assigned to that namespace. For instance associates the p proxy with the http://www.example.com/namespaceP namespace. Now inside the p:test element if it is possible to enter elements from http://www.example.com/namespaceP namespace then those elements will be presented prefixed with p:. If it is possible to enter elements from other namespaces, for instance element a from http://www.example.com/namespaceA namespace then oXygen will present in the content completion list something like http://www.example.com/namespaceA#a and if that element will be selected the inseted code will look like thus correctly setting the namespace for the inserted element.
