We have a large organization and we've done significant work on our custom framework. When our writers encounter a problem, we want then to come to our internal support group instead of wasting your time in support. There are two menu item on the Oxygen help menu, report a problem and Support Center...

Hi, We have very large documents with hundreds of xincludes. For the most part these documents have not real content other than the xinclude references and we edit them to add new references to new content or reorder existing references. However, opening these documents takes significant time and it...

Hi.

If I create an xml document, perhaps through a transformation scenario, and that xml document is valid against the report.dtd found in frameworks, is there a way to load that document into the "Results" panel so that users can view results and navigate to items in the report?

Are there any plans to support SWF graphics in Author?

Using a simplified test, it appears that the $pd variable isn't being expanded or is causing some error. Given the following code: ${xpath_eval(concat('${pd}', '\foo.xml'))} which doesn't resolve to an actual file, I get no error message. Changing only the internal variable, ${xpath_eval(concat('${p...

I should add that with ${pd}\ no document is opened and no error is presented. If I remove it I get a cannot open file error.

Hi, I've got an ant transform scenario that generates a report about the current project files. It runs fine, but I want to open the report when it's complete, so I put this in the Output tab Open field: ${xpath_eval(concat('${pd}\', replace('${pn}', '_project', ''), '_report.xml'))} If I remove the...

Is there a way to cause a custom action to execute after a new document is created from a template (file->New)? I would like to execute the docbook generate.ids action to execute so that a new document has all IDs populated.

If you are authoring a mixed content element and insert an inline element and it happens to be at the end of the line and thus wraps, it it hard to tell if there is a space, which in this context would be significant. <para><guidropdown>Alphabetically by block name</guidropdown>. Sorts blocks alphab...

In our project files we have something like the following <String>user.defined.editor.variables</String> <userEditorVariable-array> <userEditorVariable> <field name="name"> <String>${targetset}</String> </field> <field name="value"> <String>${pdu}/../../../../someproduct/targetse...

In the docbook framework Insert Table dialog, we would like control on the default status of the "Title" checkbox. In our instance, most tables are informal, so our writers have to constantly uncheck the box.

In a docbook file, there is an Insert Table dialog that provides a radio button for model selection, CALS or HTML. We have customized the DTD to only allow CALS but the model selector remains. You can select HTML and you are greeted with schema errors. Is there a way to configure the dialog to only ...

If you have internal markup in a table and you set tag display to full with attributes, tables become very difficult to work with. A helpful feature would be to have a second tag display selector that applies to table cell contents.

We have set up variables so that writers can select the variable to point to targetsets in the docbook olink dialog and it works very well. Could the xinclude dialog be enhanced so that the Insert Editor Variable is available to writers when they want to include an xinclude. We save our cross produc...

Your suggestion sounds reasonable. The only possible improvement would be to allow a configuration in framework for expanded elements. For example I might want to specify expand chapter, section[not(parent::section)], refentry, refsect1 and all others would be collapsed. This would certainly be a &q...

We have large reference books that have refentry targets for hundreds of various ref pages. The default behavior now is to fully expand the tree view for the book, so there are chapter, refentry, refsect1, refsect1, refsect3, etc. all expanded which makes scrolling to the specific link target diffic...

In a docbook document, if I have an imagedata element with a fileref attribute that points to an image file, I can double click or use the context menu->Open image to launch the image in an external image editor that is the default editor for the file extension. Is it possible to configure Oxygen to...

Is there a feature in Author that enforces that selections are tag balanced so that the selection would be a valid general parsed entity? This is a feature of Arbortext that our writers can't find in Author.

That doesn't appear to be it, every checkbox on that page, xml/ xml parser, is checked.

18.1 is my version, but the same code that works with a "flattened" file doesn't work with xinclude references (three deep).

This thread seems to answer my question:

topic9894.html

One more problem: if the file a.xml has an xinclude to b.xml where @val is, the xincludes don't seem to be expanded and the oxy_xpath seems to fail. Is there a flat on the doc function to expand xincludes? Also, where is the documentation for the doc function?

That Worked! Thank you so much.

Steve

This doesn't seem to be working as expected. Here is the code: link[xlink|href]:empty{ content:oxy_xpath(oxy_concat('document(', oxy_url('${pdu}', 'a.xml'), ')//@val')) !important; } The entire content of a.xml, which is in the same folder as the current xpr file is <a val="my content"/> I...

Is it possible to use Oxygen variables in the xpath, such as ${pdu}?

I would expect that if you are after word1 and before the space, if you type the space bar the cursor would advance to between the space and word3 which would allow you to start typing word2. This would require you to add a new space between word2 and word3, but that would be a natural action for a ...

Given this example from https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/18.1/ug-editor/topics/format-and-indent-xml.html?hl=spaces <p>The file is located in <i>HOME</i>/<i>USER</i>/hello.

We have a custom element that has a link attribute that contains a symbolic reference to a destination. We do this so we can have the link resolve to different locations, such as draft vs final. We would use the js to evaluate the proper environment to use to create a physical link address. Regardin...

I edited the simplify but missed the function definition that I modified to take no arguments.

according to https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/18.1/ug-editor/concepts/dg-url-function.html you can use a function as one of the components to the oxy_url() function. I've added a function to my framework commons.js file function resolvehref(href) { return "http://www.google.com"; } w...
