Yay!
I just installed oXygen 7.0 on my PC and created a new file from template, used TEI P5 (experimental) All and it validates! Yippee!
That may not seem like much to many of you, but the oXygen-supplied RelaxNG schema for TEI P5 All would not validate on any of the lab PCs, nor on my laptop. Trying to validate a document using that schema caused a Java memory error. Only 2-3 people in the TEI workshop were able to successfully validate that schema. They all had their own laptops and they were an even mix of PCs and Apples. An even number, or more, of personal laptops failed at validating that schema, too.
Thankfully, oXygen allows you to install a registered copy on any platform its available for, which is several. It sucks that I’ll have to do much of my homework restricted to the PC, but I’ll manage for now. At least if the PC handles the extra Java load gracefully. That isn’t a given as it is rarely graceful anymore.
I need the full thing as I need the complete bibliography tag subset. I can then remove large portions, but I need to start with All and not Lite. Now I just need to figure out how to make my own schema using Roma, and get it working in oXygen.
Ahhh, learning is in the air. Or is that Spring?
Update (dateline yesterday): I got Roma to make me a schema and got it into oXygen, made and validated a document. On the laptop! No memory error. Yay!
