[oXygen-user] Transforming without Entity placeholders

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Sorin Ristache)]

Hello Sascha,

Now I understand. You want to expand only the %entitiesxcom; reference 
in the DOCTYPE declaration. I suggest a find and replace operation on 
all DocBook chapter files using a regular expression that matches the 
entity reference. Unfortunately you can't do it in only one action in 
the Oxygen application because the replace part in the Find/Replace in 
Files dialog box (Ctrl+Shift+H) is not multi-line enabled yet. But you 
can do the replacement in one action per DocBook XML file, in the 
Find/Replace dialog box (Ctrl+F or menu Find -> FInd/Replace), using the 
following value in the "Find" area:

<!ENTITY % entitiesxcom SYSTEM "entitiesxcom.ent">(\s*?)%entitiesxcom;

and the following multi-line value in the "Replace with" area:

<!ENTITY company "Acme Widgets, Inc.">
<!ENTITY product "Top Widget">

You have to enable also the options "Regular expression" and "Dot 
matches all" in the Find/Replace dialog box.

We will consider also adding multi-line support for the replace value in 
the Find/Replace in Files dialog box (Ctrl+Shift+H).


Best regards,
Sorin
