Modular docs without hoop jumping?

Is it possible to include the link for a modular doc by just including
an Xinclude, rather than opening a doc, selecting it, copying it all,
and then pasting it in. It would be so much easier if I could just
Ctrl+J select xinclude, and then enter the path. Am I just missing
something? I have the most current release of XmlEditor.

Thanks,
Steve

PI with last saved DATE


It would be convenient if XMLMind editor would be able to add a PI to
XML documents, whenever a document is saved. That PI should be in the form
of a ISO 8601 date. E.g.

  <?xxe-date "2005-11-01 15:23:22Z+0100"?>

or

  <?xxe-date "20051101T152322Z0100"?>

or whatever ISO 8601 format you chose.

Since this feature is intrusive, it should properly be off by default.

And checkbox should therefore exist in Options/Save

If such a PI exists already, XXE should replace the existing PI, whith a
new one, whenever the document is saved.

Since that info is added inside the document, it is easy to utilize using
XSLT.

Regards,

Jens

* Why not simply use the date of the file? XSLT has no file date
function, but it is pretty easy to add one. See
http://saxon.sourceforge.net/saxon6.5.4/extensibility.html

* If you really want the above PI, you can implement this yourself using
a document hook. See

No, you cannot just insert <xi:include> and type an URL and optionally
an xpointer in XMLmind XML Editor. <xi:include> elements, like namespace
prefixes, only exist in XXE during document load time and during
document save time.

If you don't like the "copyAsInclusion"/"pasteInclusionEnabled" way of
doing things, may be you'll like command "include". See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/include.html. You
can bind this command (with parameter "into", "after", etc) to any
keystroke you want.

We have just developed XMLmind XML Editor, and not the piece of sofware
which converts your XML résumé to PDF. And the problem apparently lies
in this piece of sofware (called an XSLT style sheet).

I would just suggest to try inserting a non-breakable space between
"Grove" and "City". To do this, please select the whitespace between
Grove" and "City" and press Ctrl-Space_Bar to replace the selected
whitespace by a non-breakable space (displayed on screen as a small
dot). I hope that this will solve your problem, but I have no way to be
sure.

Re: PI with last saved DATE

The saxon extension seems to be the most elegant method, if only I could
figure out how to extract the file date of my source tree - if that is
possible at all ?

That sounds like what I'm looking for. I was looking for where to set
key-bindings and am not clear exactly where to do it. Do I create a
configure.xxe file in the Application Data/XMLmind/XMLEditor directory,
or is there a config file to edit in the main install directory?

For example you can add the following menu item to include the feature in a
menu and tie it to an F key (F11 in this example):

<item label="XXE Include" command="include"parameter="into[useXInclude]">
  <accelerator code="F11" />
</item>

More on how to add a menu:
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/menu.html

More on the include command:
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/include.html

Alternatives might have been introduced with v3 of XXE but I haven't had the
time to investigate these yet.

Extend selection to sibling with Esc + L|R

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to fix this problem, or if it's maybe
a bug. When I select an node, and then press ESC+Left|Right it selects
the next respective sibling, but if I just hit Left or Right again while
still holding ESC, it cancels the selection. The only way I'm able to
continue selecting siblings is I have to hit ESC+Left|Right each time,
which is kind of annoying.

For example the CTRL, and SHIFT keys do not exhibit this behavior. I can
just hold down CTRL+SHIFT, and keep hitting Right, and it will
continually select text one word at a time.

Is this intended functionality, user error, or a bug?

Thanks,
Steve

document full of large images : using 'Images displayed as thumbnails'

Hi !

 

With XmlMind 3.0, I’m trying to open a large document (DocBook) containing lots of big images. To be able to load this document, I first had to increase the limit of memory usage to 512Mb. Then, once the document is loaded, I used the stylesheet 'Images displayed as thumbnails'.

 

The problem is that I didn’t find a way to permanently use the stylesheet 'Images displayed as thumbnails', so that I don’t have to wait a long time when loading the document before I can change the stylesheet. Is it possible ?

 

Thanks for your help !

Jerome
