Oxygen XML Forum

In Oxygen 23 I am editing TEI documents. I'm introducing a new elements in a new namespace via a customization of the TEI schema. While trying to use this new schema (RNG XML format), I've stumbled upon the problem well-described by Syd Bauman at https://journals.openedition.org/jtei/2573#annexe regarding the error

conflicting ID-types for attribute "id" from namespace "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" of element...

Following Bauman's suggestion, I un-checked the “Check ID/IDREF” box in Oxygen > Preferences> > > RELAX NG. While this solves the immediate problem of the RNG schema being valid, it has the consequence of disabling the content completion/lists of values for attributes while editing the dependant TEI documents in Oxygen.

Are there other solutions, hacks, or work-arounds to solve this? The attribute content suggestion functionality Oxygen provides is crucial to our workflow...

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi,

Maybe you can make changes to the custom RNG file to avoid that validation error, like my colleague Alex did in this older TEI issue:
https://github.com/TEIC/oxygen-tei/issues/7

This will allow you to add back the ID/IDREF checking making Oxygen's validation and content completion work again.

I have no problem trying a patch on the RNG. Thanks for the tip - we'll see how it goes!

FYI - adding the namespace declarations directly into the RNG file worked. Hopefully the folks at TEI-C will fix the problem at source (in customization) but this is a clean patch. Thanks!

Hi,

I'm glad you found a solution for your problem.
