Open XML Validation

[tmakita]

Hi,
I'm testing https://github.com/jelovirt/com.elovirta.ooxml. When I open the result .docx file, Word (2013) reports that it cannot open the .docx file because there is error.
So I tried to to open & validate this .docx file via oXygen 19.0. When I open the "xml/document.xml" in the .docx file, I've noticed that oXygen normally reports error for some parts, but there are the error report that cannot be understood. For instance:

Code: Select all

<w:hyperlink r:id="rIdHyperlink104">

    <w:r>

         <w:rPr>

                <w:i/>

                <w:rStyle w:val="Hyperlink"/>

         </w:rPr>

         <w:t>Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License</w:t>

    </w:r>

</w:hyperlink>

oXygen reports errors about w:rStyle.

Code: Select all

System ID: zip:file:/C:/Users/toshi/OneDrive/Documents/test/wml/wml-link/out/docx/mWebLinkTest.docx!/word/document.xml

According to the newest schemas (wordml.xsd) from http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyA ... index.html it should not reported as error.

Code: Select all

  <xsd:complexType name="CT_RPrOriginal">

    <xsd:sequence>

      <xsd:group ref="EG_RPrBase" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

    </xsd:sequence>

  </xsd:complexType>

  ...

   <xsd:group name="EG_RPrBase">

    <xsd:choice>

      <xsd:element name="rStyle" type="CT_String"/>

      <xsd:element name="rFonts" type="CT_Fonts"/>

      <xsd:element name="b" type="CT_OnOff"/>

      <xsd:element name="bCs" type="CT_OnOff"/>

      <xsd:element name="i" type="CT_OnOff"/>

      <xsd:element name="iCs" type="CT_OnOff"/>

      <xsd:element name="caps" type="CT_OnOff"/>

      <xsd:element name="smallCaps" type="CT_OnOff"/>

      <xsd:element name="strike" type="CT_OnOff"/>

      <xsd:element name="outline" type="CT_OnOff"/>

      ...

    </xsd:choice>

  </xsd:group>

In contrast, the schema (probably) oXygen using is defined as follows:
[C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor 19\frameworks\ooxml\schemas\xsd]

Code: Select all

	<xsd:group name="EG_RPrBase">

		<xsd:sequence>

			<xsd:element name="rFonts" type="CT_Fonts" minOccurs="0">

				<xsd:annotation>

			</xsd:element>

			<xsd:element name="b" type="CT_OnOff" minOccurs="0">

				<xsd:annotation>

				</xsd:annotation>

			</xsd:element>

			<xsd:element name="bCs" type="CT_OnOff" minOccurs="0">

It is natural that oXygen reports error for w:rStyle, because it must comes first child of w:rPr.

But I found that this schema is bit old.
Do you have any plans to update WordProcessingML scheme files to the newest?

I attached sample DITA instance.

Hi Toshihiko,

I will add an internal issue to update the XML Schemas we ship for OOXML validation.
About the publishing problem, I have no issue opening the OOXML file with MS Word 2016.

Hi Radu,

> About the publishing problem, I have no issue opening the OOXML file with MS Word 2016.

It may be my mistake. The error occurred in more complex DITA documents.

> I will add an internal issue to update the XML Schemas we ship for OOXML validation.

For your reference, I found fatal XML Scheme error in both ISO and ECMA supplied OfficeOpenXML-XMLSchema-Strict/wml.xsd itself when I opened via oXygen.
Some default value is assigned as "no" although its type is defined as xs:boolean.
I'm wondering how to solve this problem because its is international standard.

Hi Toshihiko,

So:

It may be my mistake. The error occurred in more complex DITA documents.

If you put together a DITA project for which the generated DOCX is invalid you can create a new issue directly on Jarno's plugin issues list:

Probably Microsoft does not validate with a 100% standards conformant parser. When we update the schemas we'll probably manually fix this error.

Hi,

Oxygen 19.1 was released a couple of days ago and it should contain an update on its internally used MS Word XML Schemas.
