Re: [docbook-apps] xml:id xl:href namespace declarations

[George Cristian Bina <george@oxygenxml.com>]

oXygen offers all the attributes on content completion, but the 
association between the document and the DocBook schema is done probably 
based on the root element namespace, so if you do not declare the 
DocBook namespace you get no proposals. Once you add the 
xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; namespace declaration you should 
be able to see all the attributes, including the xml:* and the ones from 
the XLink namespace - the later will be inserted by oXygen content 
completion together with a namespace declaration. oXygen does not 
require a declaration for the XML namespace.

Best Regards,
George
