Introduction

This page explains how to add ITS 2.0 WYSIWYG editing functionality to the XML editor oXygen. Currently the functionality is available for working with DocBook files, version 5.0, and for ePub or XHTML5 files (only in the latest version, see below). It is maintained by Felix Sasaki.

NOTE:

  • The functionality has been tested with oXygen version 16.
  • The following ITS 2.0 data categories are implemented: Translate, Localization Note, Terminology, Text Analysis, Locale Filter, Allowed Characters
  • The WYSIWYG functionality includes only addition or removal of local ITS 2.0 attributes for the above data categories. No ITS 2.0 processing (locally or globally) is involved.
  • The implementation makes use of other software resources:

First step: get the files

Download

Second step: install the files

For oXygen 15.1 and 15.2

Put the files into the following directories. All of these are subdirectories of the oXygen distribution.

  • its2-24-white.png into oxygen/frameworks/docbook/
  • docbook5.framework into oxygen/frameworks/docbook/ . NOTE: this will override the docbook5.framework file that is provided with the original oXygen distribution. It is recommended that you make a copy of that file so that you can restore the original.
  • docbook_its2.css into oxygen/frameworks/docbook/css/
  • dbits.rng into oxygen/frameworks/docbook/5.0/rng/

For oXygen 16.0

Create a DocBook file and do WYSIWYG editing (for oXygen 15.1 and 15.2)

Start oXygen and create a DocBook 5.0 file. The video available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x6AH3JdjY4 shows how to work with the WYSIWYG mode, and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6zIW6blF5k shows how text analysis markup is generated. Here a short summary:

  • Right click and choose the ITS2 Add context menu to add ITS attributes to the parent element of the cursor position.
  • Right click and choose the ITS2 Remove" context menu to remove ITS attributes from the parent element of the cursor position.
  • The menus will appear only if there is something to add (that is if the attribute(s) in question s are not already set) or if there is something to remove.
  • For adding attributes to selected text content (that is, inserting a new element), do the following:
    • Press CTRL+1 to add Translate information.
    • Press CTRL+2 to add Localization Note information.
    • Press CTRL+3 to add Terminology information.
    • Press CTRL+4 to add Text Analysis information.
    • Press CTRL+5 to add Allowed Characters information.
    • Press CTRL+6 to add Locale Filter information.
  • To autogenerate ITS 2.0 Text Analysis markup, right click and choose Automatic text analysis.
  • To get a WYSIWYG visualization of the ITS 2.0 information, choose the DocBook ITS2 style from the Styles menu.

Create an ePub file or an XHTML5 file and do WYSIWYG editing (for oXygen 16.0)

  • Start oXygen and create an ePub or XHTML5.
  • Right click and choose the ITS2 Add context menu to add ITS attributes to the parent element of the cursor position.
  • Right click and choose the ITS2 Remove" context menu to remove ITS attributes from the parent element of the cursor position.
  • The menus will appear only if there is something to add (that is if the attribute(s) in question s are not already set) or if there is something to remove.
  • For adding attributes to selected text content (that is, inserting a new element), do the following:
    • Press CTRL+1 to add Translate information.
    • Press CTRL+2 to add Localization Note information.
    • Press CTRL+3 to add Terminology information.
    • Press CTRL+4 to add Text Analysis information.
    • Press CTRL+5 to add Allowed Characters information.
    • Press CTRL+6 to add Locale Filter information.
  • To autogenerate ITS 2.0 Text Analysis markup, right click and choose Automatic text analysis.
  • To autogenerate Localization Notes with translation suggestions, right click and choose Generate Translation Suggestions. NOTE: requires that text analysis markup is available since based on that markup linked data sources like DBpedia are used.
  • To autogenrate Schema.org markup, right click and choose Generate Schema.org Markup. NOTE: requires that text analysis markup is available since based on that markup linked data sources like DBpedia are used.
  • To get a WYSIWYG visualization of the ITS 2.0 information, choose the ITS2 style from the Styles menu.
