Ok, so validation tools in XML-land are quite good.

When you're in an XML file, you can do DTDs, XSDs, Schematron etc... and have good confidence that contents in the file meets expectations.

How about making assertions about collections of files on a file system?

I'd love to have Schematron, but have it skim thru our main doc repository fileset and check for various business rules we want to enforce.

Can anyone recomend tools or approaches for this?

Has anyone used Greenfox (https://github.com/hrennau/greenfox)?

This looks quite promising, but I've had some issues getting this working quite as advertised.

Hi all, I'm looking for tips or ideas on how to keep track of where to work on research in my family tree.

As the tree grows towards a larger 3 digit number of people, I find the opening the database and having a good idea of where to go work is getting a bit harder.

How do you keep track of 'to-dos', and whats missing for your collection?

Just writing to say that adding a few custom refactoring operations into the companies framework was utterly painless.

The docs explained what I needed to do. There were samples for XQ and XSLT refactoring scripts, and for the descriptor file as well.

Those went into a totally logical place in the framework. A little bit of wiring had those files picked up in the refactoring menu.

The preview and diff view of changed files means that I feel safe giving this out to our writing team. They can see what they're changing even in a big library of DITA content.

Demos to stakeholders went well. They said: 'ok, we can run that', and 'how much content can we run that over'.

Bingo. TY Oxygen.

Hi all,

Work hsa a large-ish writing group that is always looking for tools to make editing serious medical content easier.

One of my first projects there was a vocabulary flagger done in Schematron.

Every two weeks we ingest a structured wiki page for vocabulary terms, and build a Sch file to flag that vocab in DITA files. These are pushed out to all workstations in an Oxygen framework on the comapny shared drive.

It's been good. It's been a real crowd pleaser.

However, there are some disadvantages:

  • Flagging with Sch can only highlight an element. It cannot highlight a specific word substring within an element.
  • With approx 2k terms loaded as Sch rules, there is a performace hit w

When it comes to pictures of relatives in my tree, my data has basically three types of people:

  • There are no photos of this person.
  • There is a gravestone photo of this person.
  • There is a person I've met IRL, and I might have dozens and dozens of photos of the person.

What policy do you use when its person you've known in real life? I'm publishing this data into a TNG website and it feels like more than 10 is too much. Should I indicate there are more? Should I try to make 'spillover' albums?

Appreciate any suggestions or ideas.

r/camping•

Hi all, More and more, I'm digging cold weather camping. You get the whole place to yourself, check-in and check-out times are rare, and the day time temps might be totally manageable. You just have to handle night time lows.

Colorado has plenty of non-developed places to camp. Free camping is great. But, you do have to take that night-time insulation seriously.

If I go to a state park, I can pay $35 per night (our state parks are pricey) for a reliable electric site and run an electric blanket. But that's sort of steep when compared to the alternate cost of free.

So, I'm looking to bridge that gap. If I ran an ordinary electric blanket overnight in my tent from a battery, plus the sleepi

Howdy XML nerds. I'm looking for a good language to pair with XSLT.

Work has lots and lots of XSLT. It is definitely the core of what our group does.

Our main source content is DITA (in a document database), and it gets heavily transformed into Indesign, direct SQL queries, and other database ETL stuff. We've been moving more and more content into DITA.

However, I feel like we're struggling with moving into a more flexible realm were is easier to automate and chain together complete workflows. Most of our transform are run by us, directly form our IDEs, and ends up making us the bottleneck.

I'd like to easily access a SQL database, run various queries. Receive those files, XSL them, comb
