Hello again . Sinceit went so good last time, I'm inventing new problems to solve. Joking, the company in the current project is doing that . The problem stats as follows. Within XML Documents we have a dialog that appears on the right click, the contained menu entries are calling the extensions that I am currently working on. As the menu entries can be valid or invalid ( one extension works on a subtree starting with LIST, the other one does not work on lists, for example. ) I have the task to find a way to make the menu entries greyed out my the currently marked content in the document. So far the plan for battle. I know how to get the currently marked selection, or the point where the cursor resides, I have found out how to enable and disable the entries in the EditPopup-menu, and I have an idea how to model the logic for deciding which menu item can be active on which selection. Just one part is missing. In order to process all that, I need an event, and I thoughtabout catching t

I got this question from a co-worker:When I compile our CAEWriter doctype, I now get a capacity. For the moment, I've stopped using the -cap arg.

When publishing a DITA map and using the SMA stylesheet there is a blank page inserted after the front cover title sheet. Is there anyway to prevent the blank page?

New to IsoDraw. Looking for a way to customize the menu options (ie. remove some, add custom menu options).

Hello,We prefer out users to work with No-tag mode in Edit view and most of the elements are stylized in AT to look more WYSIWIG. There are some processing instruction thatare inserted in our document. At this point we have to switch to the full or partial tag mode to see this processing instructions. Is there a way in Styler to style processing instructions may by a generated text that shows the processing instructions?Karthik

Hello,We have a custom Schema and I added it in the New Dialog window. The root element is called <document> and AT inserts the root element. Then when I try to insert the other child element of the root element AT gives the error message as this "Document as read-only". I cannot insert any more elements after document. So I did a save as and renamed it as different file. Now I could able to insert the rest of the child element.The issue still presets - When I save the document it still says as read-only document:-( 😞I closed the AT window and I get the prompt to save the file with "Yes" and "No" button and I clicked Yes. When I reopened the file again all I could see in <document> element. Here is the interesting thing - Now I could able to modify the document and save it with changes. Is this a typical AT behaviour or am I missing something?ThanksKarthik

I just upgraded to 64-bit Windows 7 (which I really like) and have had very few problems until I tried to configure data merge. When I went to Control Panels -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources (ODBC) to setup a System DNS for Excel, all that was available was the SQL Server driver.After much searching I found (on the SQL Server Developer Center of all places) that there is a 32-bit ODBC Administrator with all the drivers I'm familiar with. Instead of going to Control Panel..., run %WINDIR%\SYSWOW64\ odbcad32.exe

Inserting a comment node before the root node is not as simpleas I thought it should be.I devised a way and share it accordingly:test document:<mydoc><mytitle>Sample MyDoc</mytitle><mybody>Firstpara</mybody></mydoc>test JavaScript: // // source D:/work/acl/cloning/commentTrial1.js // var globalObject = this; (function(){ // create a testing namespace globalObject["commentTrial1"] = {}; // use "cls" for convenience cls = globalObject["commentTrial1"]; cls.identify = function(){ print("you have called commentTrial1.identify()"); } cls.insertCommentBeforeRoot = function(text) { var doc = Application.activeDocument; // scrub to avoid interpolation of quotes var scrubText = text.replace(/\"/,"\\\" ); var commentNode = doc.createComment(text); // from file:///C:/Program%20Files/Arbortext/Editor/docs/javadoc/aom/index.html // getDocumentElement() // This is a convenience attribute that allows direct access // to the child node that is the root element of th

Where can I find out how to execute ACL code? I am researching task to read a list of files (XML) and generate a PDF using the FOSI and PE. I have found some funcions I would use, but I don't know how to put it together. Thanks for any ideas to point me in the right direction. Thanks. Allissa

Hello adepters,I looking for ACL help to perform attribute value change for the selected part of xml file. In my schema I have a attribute called copyfit and this attribute is available in some block level element. So when I select content of xml and activate the ACL code it should prompt the user to put any value between 0-9 and the copyfit attribute value should be changed/inserted as per the user input. For example if my selected content is<section><head></head><para><para><list></list></section>the attribute copyfit is only available for <section> and <head> then it should only change/insert in those elements only.Thanks in advance.Karthik

Is Isodraw supports additional plug-in? If so, whats the programming language it supports?I need to add a plug in for unit convertor.

Hello , I have a small issue working with ACL and developing some app extension. Problem description: I need to go through a document and replace all Processing Instructions with a custom text extension. To locate the PI, I'm using the function find_pi. This works nice so far. The one problem is, that when find_pi hits the documents end, it sometimes asks the user if he wants to continue the search at the top of the document ( as no more pi's are found at the bottom ) . How can I disable this message ? Thanks for your help ! Greetings !

Hi All, I couldn't see any questions on IsoView so I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum for my question. My issue is that I'm trying to do some very specific printing from IsoView. As such, I need to print a specifically sized IsoView image to a device context so I can then print it my self. I have tried using the messages WM_PRINT and WM_PRINTCLIENT but strangely, they do not seen to be supported. I then tried to use the Draw method on the IViewObject interface. The IViewObject is supported by IsoView but the image I got from the Draw message was the wrong size and of low quality. Why this should be the case I have no idea. I would gladly display the image on the screen and just grab the bits but this operation has to run in the background and Windows clips all the content of offscreen windows. Does anyone know where I'm going wrong or have any good ideas I haven't thought of? Any help would be much appreciated. I'm working on Windows XP using Visual C++ 2005 with MFC and ATL Thanks i

We use 4.3 for SGML and 5.4 for XML. Since you can't run 4.3 and 5.4 at the same time, we often open an SGML file in 5.4 and cut and paste into an XML doc. The SGML book is still being revised so these are live documents and if saved from 5.4 crash the EMS-2 SGML compile.Using ACL, will it be possible to set up a hook to catch that a doc being opened is SGML and lock it from editing? Open it as read-only in other words?Guess I'm asking that, if they double-click a filename and Editor starts to open it, is it already too late to open as read only?A nice second function would be to open it as free-form and skip the pop-up to recompile the DTD for 5.4.I could do it by doctype as well as the five SGML doctypes are different from the XML doctype.Thanks,John T.

I can't remember what this is called. A better strategy than using XMLComments for providing guidance to authors completing forms-like entries.Was it all a dream?Given my record in recent posts, I'm sure I will remember twixt the clickand send.-- Paul Nagai

Hello, We currently have some trouble with one XSL stylesheet. The sheet hasn't been modified in any way since it was last working (the file date is 09/02/2005) but when I open any XML document I get the following error : [A30223] Could not load stylesheet 'C:\dtd\doctypes\presse\article\article.xsl' - _stysht::load_xslt_ss failed When the XML document is loaded in Epic, if I try to select the stylesheet (Format/Turbo styler) I get this error message : "[A30121 Stylesheet article.fos cannot be edited with turbo styler" The reference to article.fos is a mystery to me, as I selected article.xsl. For reference, we are using Epic 4.3, build JUN-1218. Any idea on how to fix this, or any things to check welcome. Thanks and regards Christophe Lefebvre LexisNexis France

Hello, One of our user recently encountered a problem with caracter entities. The ISO sets (lat1 and so on...) are included in our DTD, and indeed Epic shows them as available. But on Epic instead of the proper caracter (ie : é) it's shown as the entity between superior and braces (ie : <[eacute]> ). The preferences haven't been changed, the Epic installation hasn't been changed either. Any idea on this ? Thanks and regards
