Embedding html in xml tags, when rednering text as html

Quick question,
I have a site that reads all content from an external xml.
The text box that reads this info renders the content as html; does
anyone know how to go about putting an html tag in an xml tag so
that flash can read it?
So would it be possible to do:
<content>
" Welcome to the site<br>we are happy to have you
here<br><img src="logo.jpg"> "
</content>

I completed deleted the old way, so I have to recreate this
from scratch...but here is how I used to be able to do it (which,
looking at how I do it now since HTML wasn't parsing, this was so
stupid).

And now in 1.1, having that, it prints this on screen:
<a
href='/dsn/catalog/viewproductpage.asp?OwnerID=1&PageID=%7B7A0FB858%2D2184%2D4033%2DB474% 2D2B22D89BBD96%7D'><img
src='/images/s/dshe/mini/7/79219.jpg border='0' /></a>
whereas before, it would be that image and it would link to
the page specified in the href.
I'm about to take off from work for the night, but I'll check
back when I get home if you need anything else from me.
Thanks for your help, Kin. :)

How to get all xml tags in a text frame?

I want to get all the xml tags of the text in a text frame. I had tried the following methods but always get the tag binding the frame itself. <br /><br />1) XMLReference objXMLRef = Utils<IXMLUtils>()->QueryXMLReferenceData(textModel, 1);<br /><br />2) XMLReference objXMLRef = Utils<IXMLUtils>()->GetStoryThreadXMLReference(textModel, textIndex);<br /><br />Thanks in advance.

I would think if you intanciate the XMLReference and use IIDXMLElement GetChildCount / GetNthChild would do what you are looking for.

[CS3][JS] Apply XML tag for selected text

Hi
I need to apply XML tag to selected text in a tagged content.The XML tag is already applied for paragraph.I need to apply XML Tag for selected text in a paragraph.
I have used following code, it applies tag for entire paragraph,not a selected text in a paragraph.
app.selection[0].associatedXMLElements[0].markupTag=myDoc.xmlTags.item("italic");
Please suggest me.
Regards
kumar

The example script, markup.jsx
//Markup.jsx
//An InDesign CS4 JavaScript
//Shows how to use the markup method.
main();
function main(){
    mySetup();
    mySnippet();
    myTeardown();
function mySetup(){
    var myDocument = app.documents.add();
    var myPage = app.activeWindow.activePage;
    var myRootXMLElement = myDocument.xmlElements.item(0);
    var myXMLTag = myDocument.xmlTags.add("xml_element");
    var myXMLElementA = myRootXMLElement.xmlElements.add(myXMLTag);
    myXMLElementA.contents = "This is a paragraph in an XML story.";
    var myTextFrame = myPage.textFrames.add({geometricBounds:myGetBounds(myDocument, myPage)});
    myTextFrame.contents = "This is the first paragraph in a text frame.\rThis is the second paragraph in a text frame.\rThis is the third paragraph in a text frame.\rThis is the fourth paragraph in a text frame.\r";
function mySnippet(){
    //<fragment>
    var myDocument = app.documents.item(0);
    var myPage = myDocument.pages.item(0);
    myDocument.xmlElements.item(0).xmlElements.item(0).markup(myPage.textFrames.item(0));
    //</fragment>
function myTeardown(){
function myGetBounds(myDocument, myPage){
    var myPageWidth = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageWidth;
    var myPageHeight = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageHeight
    if(myPage.side == PageSideOptions.leftHand){
        var myX2 = myPage.marginPreferences.left;
        var myX1 = myPage.marginPreferences.right;
    else{
        var myX1 = myPage.marginPreferences.left;
        var myX2 = myPage.marginPreferences.right;
    var myY1 = myPage.marginPreferences.top;
    var myX2 = myPageWidth - myX2;
    var myY2 = myPageHeight - myPage.marginPreferences.bottom;
    return [myY1, myX1, myY2, myX2];
I think you can use the markup function on the selected item (Text Object have a markup method)

Can't use HTML in XML tags anymore?

I've noticed with 1.1 that HTML that worked in an XML tag in
1.0 no longer displays. Spry seems to be taking what is in the tags
as a literal string. For the most part, I've been able to work
around this, however, I'm running into some issues now where there
are tags that are empty because a certain product just has nothing
to go in that tag. When that happens, it is being displayed on the
page as:
<td></td> and the style I'm calling on all
<td>'s (a bottom border) doesn't show since there is nothing
in the tag at all. I tried just putting a space, but white space
(when there is nothing but whitespace) is ignored and putting
results in the XML not loading correctly. &nbsp;
results in " " showing up in that <td> whereas in
1.0, it would've been a non-breaking space.
I guess what I'm asking is if there is a way to still get
HTML to display correctly or if there is some sort of workaround
for cells that end up being blank?

I completed deleted the old way, so I have to recreate this
from scratch...but here is how I used to be able to do it (which,
looking at how I do it now since HTML wasn't parsing, this was so
stupid).

HTML bodypart rendered incorrectly when using text/calendar bodypart

We have a web application in which we are constructing multipart email messages and sending them via an Exchange 2003 server.
The structure of the email message looks like this:
multipart/mixed
multipart/alternative
    bodypart (text/plain)
    bodypart (text/html)
    bodypart (text/calendar)
bodypart (application/ics, base64 encoding, iCal file attachment)
The problem is that when we include the text/calendar bodypart, any embedded images in the HTML bodypart are displayed as attachments at the bottom of the email (which appears as a meeting request) in Outlook. Additionally, the HTML is not rendered entirely correctly. Hyperlinks appear appropriately as does the font formatting (e.g., bold), but table formatting is ignored and so items are not lined up as they should.
If we remove the text/calendar bodypart, the HTML displays correctly, including the inline images, but the email does not show up as a meeting request.
Doing some digging, I saw that HTML with inline attachments should be in a multipart/related section, however, we saw no change from the original problem.
I'll post this to the Outlook forum as well (link TBD) as I don't know where the problem officially lies. If anyone knows if this is a bug, or has some insight as to how to get the HTML to display correctly and also have the email show as a meeting invitation, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Ah, that would explain why removing the text/calendar body part "fixed" the HTML issues. I'll let our product planning team know.
This, however, begs the question, why is MSFT working on the quality of HTML to RTF conversion rather than just displaying the HTML? I'm not sure I see an added benefit of using RTF over HTML in this case. I can't imagine that there is there some sort of limitation the rendering engine. Do you happen to know the answer?

Searching for XML tags using Oracle Text

I am using full text search to find documents based on a search text. It works fine for pdf, word documents, etc. However for XML documents, searching for a particular tag name does not find anything. Searching for text within tags works fine. Any thoughts?
Edited by: miyer on Feb 21, 2011 6:25 PM

Hi
Try adding the following variable to ucm config.cfg and then see if a new xml checkin returns the result for FT search :
TextIndexerFilterFormats=xml
Save the file , restart UCM and then test .
If the new checkin gets the results as expected then execute Collection Rebuild cycle to have the existing contents as well FT indexed to be searchable (for XML).
Thanks

Absense of xml tags and blank text fields

I am a new user to LiveCycle and am trying to create a document that will not display the text field if the corresponding xlm tag is not provided.
I seem to be able to do this if the text field is wrapped in a subform, but as this document has many text fields it simply would not be efficient to wrap every field independantly. Currently, I have subforms consisting of multiple text fields. Each of these text fields are bound and the subform they are in is flowed and is set to repeating with no minimum or maximum records required.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I don't think there is a particularly easy way to do this, you can add some code in the initialise event, something like;
if (this.dataNode.isNull)
this.presence = "hidden";
You can use this.dataNode to reference the value the field is bound to..
If you have lots of fields and If your users are using Reader 9.1 then you can use event propagation,
http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2011/06/propagating-events.html.
Otherwise you can try doing something with proto elements.
Hope this helps,
Bruce

How to turn off XML tag when outputting xml nodes?

I'm outputting some xml data and each time ColdFusion adds the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> tag. Is there any way to turn this off?

It's difficult to tell what are are doing and how best to remedy it without you giving us at least some idea what your code looks like.

Hi,
Here are two possible solutions :
xmlelement("EXCEPTIONS",
xmlforest(
    xmlforest(
      v1.exception_code as "EXCEPTION_CODE"
    , v1.exception_long_desc as "EXCEPTION_LONG_DESC"
    ) as "EXCEPTION"
)or,
xmlelement("EXCEPTIONS",
case when v1.exception_code is not null
         or v1.exception_long_desc is not null
    then xmlelement("EXCEPTION",
           xmlforest(
             v1.exception_code as "EXCEPTION_CODE"
           , v1.exception_long_desc as "EXCEPTION_LONG_DESC"
end
)

InDesign crashes when I add xml tag

I have some groups (image + text) inside text.
When I try to add xml tags with a grep query InDesign crashes.
If I try to manually add xml tag to the text in a group, for example "evitare l'umidità", InDesign give me a message error.
I think it's a bug
Here there is the document Dropbox - ProblemaTag.idml
Thanks

I haven't done a Book in CS6 yet, but I'm starting to wonder if there might be some sort of bug (not extremely likely, but....) that's new. We had another post yesterday where ID crashed when trying to move a particular file into the chapter 5 position.
Can you add this file first, then move it to the correct spot after the other files are added?

Conversion of text with xml tags to text without xml tags

Hi all,
We have a requirement wherein we have to discard xml tags in a text string.
The scenario is that we have got the text from the fm READ_TEXT which contains xml tags also.
we need to populate this text sans the xml tags into the data segment of a iDOC.
The text returned by the FM is " <s><<H>INVOICING INSTRUCTIONS:</><s> Invoices referencing a Boyne "
Helpfull ans will be rewarded
TIA

Use the function module:
SOTR_TAGS_REMOVE_FROM_STRING
sorry for duplicate post:

How can I replace a text/range of text enclosed in a XML tag

I want to replace a piece of text enclosed inside a XML tag in a text frame.
In my input parameters, I have the In-design document page number, text frame UID in that page and the XML tag name inside that text frame
which encloses my old text.
what command/function/interface can I use which can help me to replace the existing text with the input text ?
eg:
[old text] -----> [new text]
where [ ] is XML tag with name tag1.

After some trail and POC, I was able to write the below piece of code.
This detects the starting and ending position of the marker and based on that we can replace the text inside it. Hope it helps.
InterfacePtr<IDocumentSignalData> data(signalMgr, UseDefaultIID());
        if (data == nil)
            break;
        UIDRef docRef = data->GetDocument();
        InterfacePtr<IDocument> doc(docRef, IID_IDOCUMENT);
IDataBase *db = docRef.GetDataBase();
//Get the spread
InterfacePtr<ISpreadList> spreadList(doc, UseDefaultIID());
int32 spreadCount = spreadList->GetSpreadCount();
for ( int32 spreadIndex = 0; spreadIndex < spreadCount; spreadIndex++ )
// Get the spread reference
UIDRef spreadUIDRef(db, spreadList->GetNthSpreadUID(spreadIndex));
// Get the spread object
InterfacePtr<ISpread> spread(spreadUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());
int32 numberOfPages = spread->GetNumPages();
for (int32 nPage = 0; nPage < numberOfPages; nPage++ )

if( frame->IsTextFrame() )
//Now trying to get the marker position for XML tag

CREATING XML TAG W/SPACES and CDATA. EXPORTED FROM PDF BUTTON

Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone could help with the following when working with livecycle Designer.
In our current XML we use in production we have a tag that looks like
a. <action function='Form1650' method='Add' and Action 'Upload' />
How do I go about making a field like this? I tried creating a text field and making in invisible and that’s fine and all BUT when I go to make the binding name for the field it won’t let me put spaces in for the (function='Form1650' method='Add' and Action 'Upload') portion of the tag.
2) We currently use CDATA in our XML file to allow users to enter free form data w/ special characters like (<, &, etc) and not have our application crash. I noticed when using a exporting button in a pdf to generate a XML file it takes tags like < and converts to &lt. Is there a way to have PDFs use CDATA embedded in the XML tag on output or some other solution?

Hi,
You need to declare the namespace of each element used in the XPath expression, like this :
SQL> select extractvalue( XMLDATA
2                     , '/samp:Field1/UTI/U01'
3                     , 'xmlns:samp="http://www.oradev.com/chipsxml.xsd"' ) "XMLDATA"
4 from chipsxmltable1 x
5 ;
XMLDATA
No
SQL> select extract( XMLDATA
2                , '/samp:Field1/UTI'
3                , 'xmlns:samp="http://www.oradev.com/chipsxml.xsd"'
4                ).getstringval() "XMLDATA"
5 from chipsxmltable1 x
6 ;
XMLDATA
<UTI>
<U01>No</U01>
<U02>Y</U02>
<U03>Y</U03>
<U03a>Y</U03a>
<U03b>Y</U03b>
<U03c>Y</U03c>
<U04>Y</U04>
<U05>Y</U05>
</UTI>
Please see EXTRACT and EXTRACTVALUE documentation :

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/functions052.htm#SQLRF06173
BTW, "XMLDATA" is a pseudo-column used by Oracle. I don't know if it'll ever cause any conflict but maybe you should rename your column.

XML tagged content flows in as one paragraph

Hi gang,
I am working on a small XML to InDesign project. I set up the document. It has paragraph and character styles. It has XML tags. It has tags mapped to styles. I built a model example of text and tagged it carefully, applying xml tags to text and not including the hard returns.
When I import the XML and then drag it onto the page, the entire xml content shows up and most of it is correct. Most xml tags arrive as separate paragraphs that are correctly paragraph-styled.
Except for just three xml tags. They all arrive within one paragraph. I need them to be on separate paragraphs. It ignores my xml-tagged model of text. All but these three tags show up correctly with hard returns separating them.
How can I get the remaining three tags (which are 6 child elements deep in the xml structure) to show up as separate paragraphs instead of in one paragraph?
Best to you,
Mike Witherell in Maryland

So, if the basic idea behind [Jongware]'s XSLT is what you need, you can modify it. For example, let's say you have three elements, foo, bar, and rad. foo and bar should be on their own lines.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0">
<xsl:template match="/ | node() | @*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="foo|bar">
<xsl:copy><xsl:apply-templates /></xsl:copy><xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This applies Jongware's line break template to the foo and bar tags, while copying everything else as is. You can add more tags to the second template by separating them with the bar character.
