Oxygen XML Forum

Hi all,

I'd like to provide some company-specific AutoCorrect entries to our writing team. We store our project on a Git server.

From the documentation at

https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... rrect.html

I see that I can provide an incremental AutoCorrect dictionary .dat file to augment the built-in dictionary. And from the web page at

https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question ... rect-list/

I see that the .dat file is really a .zip file that has a hierarchy of files within it. But my questions are:

1. What is the minimum set of files required by Oxygen XML Author for an incremental AutoCorrect dictionary?
2. Are there any special naming requirements (language codes, etc.) for the incremental AutoCorrect .dat files?

Thanks!

Hello Chris,

From what I tried a few moments ago, having a *.dat archive containing only a DocumentList.xml file, with the proper structure, is enough.

In regard to the name of the *.dat file, you should first read https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... additional. You could name it, for example, en_synopsys.dat or en_US_synopsys.dat.

All the best wishes,

Excellent, thank you Sorin!! I appreciate you running the experiments to confirm.

I had read that documentation page but it was not clear to me that a user-defined suffix could be included after the language code. It would be a nice documentation enhancement to mention this.

Added a documentation task .

Have a nice day and a relaxing weekend!

Thanks Sorin! Based on your findings, I was able to create a simple file named "DocumentList.xml" in the current directory:
then zip this directly into a file with no directory structure:
and it was detected. I also found that:

• The original file must be named DocumentList.xml. It cannot have another name.
• The namespace must be present on every element and attribute. A default namespace defined on the root caused the file not to be detected.

Great! Thanks for sharing this on the forum!
