Hello,

If I load a file with extension txt in Oxygen 11, Oxygen treat it as a text file. But in fact the content of the file is XML. How could I tell Oxygen to consider it as XML and be able to have syntax highlighting and other things related to XML ?

The file is loaded through the pipe mechanism under Mac OS X and the command open:

Code: Select all


gzcat B000QUU7KC.xml.gz | open -f -a Oxygen

The command line launcher oxygenMac.sh doesn't seem to have the required options:

Code: Select all


mac:oxygen ludo$ oxygenMac.sh --help



Usage: 

	oxygenMac.sh --help	: to show this help

	oxygenMac.sh --h	: to show this help

	oxygenMac.sh [pathToFile]...	: to open the specified files

	oxygenMac.sh -instance pathToXMLFile -schema pathToSchemaFile -schemaType XML_SCHEMA|DTD_SCHEMA|RNG_SCHEMA|RNC_SCHEMA -dtName documentTypeName:	to open a file with default schema association

TIA,

Ludovic Kuty

You can change the internal oXygen file association for the "txt" files. For this:

Open the Options/Preferences dialog
Go to "File Types"
Select the "txt" entry and press "Edit"
Change the default editor to "XML Editor"

Dan
