Hi all, Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum to ask this quesiton. I am learning xsl and using jedit. When I run the transformation on a file I get an error when trying to use a user defined function saying that it "cannot find a variable with name of string". I have specified the said variable as a parameter of the user defined function and then try and reference it later in the funciton. eg.

 < xsl:function name="cc:lastSubString">
   < xsl:param name="string" / >
   < xsl:param name="char" / >
   < xsl:choose>
      < xsl:when test="contains($string, $char)" >

Is this because the JEdit XSLT plugin doesn't support version 2 of the xsl specification oir is my xsl wrong thanks

This may not be what jEdit is designed for, but I'm trying to use it to write documentation and can't get it to format a paragraph normally. For example, if I put a tab at the start of a paragraph and set soft wrap to on, the second (wrapped) line will be indented by the tab's width just like the first line. In a normal text paragraph in a document (or a book) that wouldn't happen, the first line would be indented by a tab, and the second line would not be indented and would be flush with the left side of the screen.

Is there a way to do this in jEdit? I got soft wrap to work, but no matter what options I select I can't keep all the subsequent wrapped lines of a paragraph from being indented.

Can someone explain me what is the relationship between jEdit and Jext - they look very similar.

I would like to be able to save my settings...just in case I have to reinstall jEdit again and I'd rather not have to reconfigure the editor to my liking if I can help it.
Where are the global options stored (directory?) and is it just a file I can copy somewhere else and put back if a reinsstall is done?

Hi, I have jEdit configured to use

C:\jdk1.5.0\bin\javac

for compiling, but I see no place where I can tell it to execute with

C:\jdk1.5.0\bin\java

unless I hand type it all out in the console plugin. It seems to default to my /prior/ 1.4.1 jre installation's java.exe

C:\Programs\jdk1.4.1_02\bin\java

How do I set the default to be the correct JVM? Thanks! Thomas

Is there a way to assign a syntax mode to the current buffer. I get files that have one extension while containing code that uses another. For example, Python, VBScript and JavaScript renamed to txt in order to pass our firewall. I would like to identify the language via a command, or menu or something w/o having to actually change the file extension.

Thanks,
Paul

Hi,
i don't want to turn Line Numbers on every time i start jEdit. how can i make them stay?
cheers.

What did you do to the block cursor? It was really a block
like in terminal so it could be easily seen, and now it is
four pixel-wide lines. Not only it might be tiring to find that thing, but the lines interfere with the lines of text while a block was an unobtrusive background. Perhaps an option for a real block cursor? 4.1 segfaults on my system for some reason, both on 1.4.2 and 1.5 beta 2, so I have to look for another editor, or somewhat do 4.1 work again.

Using the keyboard, how do I switch between open files. I currently have to select the bar just above the text area which brings down a drop down list and select the other program from there. Ideally I would like to set up Ctrl-Tab as a 'swap open files' key
Peter

How do I set the home key up so that when pressed, the cursor goes to column 1. Currently it seems to go to the first non white-space character which could be in column 10!

Hello, I'm new to jEdit coming from BBEdit. BBEdit had functions called "Copy Lines Containing..." and "Cut Lines Containing...". I can't find that jEdit has a similar function, does it exist?

For those that are not familiar with those functions here is an example. Take the following text file:

bananas, apples, oranges, grapes
apples, bananas, grapes
oranges, grapes
bananas, oranges, apples, grapes, kiwi

If you choose the "Copy Lines Containing..." function and specify 'bananas' as your query your clipboard will be set with the following

bananas, apples, oranges, grapes
apples, bananas, grapes
bananas, oranges, apples, grapes, kiwi

I have 2 questions about jEdit.

1: How to configure jEdit that it can fold sourcecode betwen { and } (or other configured chars/strings)... for example code looks like that:

function gen_new_size($old_x, $old_y, $new_x, $new_y) {
$gen_x = $new_x;
$scale = $old_x / $new_x;
$gen_y = intval( round( $old_y / $scale ) );
return array($gen_x, $gen_y);
}

and now i want to fold it to:

function gen_new_size($old_x, $old_y, $new_x, $new_y) { [4 lines]
}

------------------------

2: I usualy working o multiple files (5-10), and in prewious versions of jEdit, when i quit jedit and then launch it again, all opened files was still opened. Now, when i close and reopen jedit, it starts with blank file.
What/where is option to force jEdit to keep opened files open after reopen?

Am a total jedit newbie...Found it to be much faster than expected...wanted to know whether there is any way to increase the fontsize of results in the hypersearch results window. My eyesight is not what it used to be...thanks in advance.

Anyone know how to change the default colors of the docking area? (File System Browser, HyperSearch Results, etc)

The colors in general are fine, but the thing that bothers me is that the *selected* panel does not stand out very clearly on my laptop display, which is what I use for work. So it's difficult to tell which panel to click to close down the docking area.

In a nutshell, there's poor contrast between the unselected and selected docks.

Thanks for any tips,
Paul

Community,
I currently use UltraEdit but will want to go over to jEdit on my Linux machine.
In UltraEdit there is a list one can view (similar to the browser list) that one can set up to show the beginning of each procedure. By double clicking on a specific procedure, one is transported to the line in the main editor window.
In UltraEdit it's found on View | View/Lists | Function List.
Is there such a beastie on jEdit or anything similar.

Hello,

Is there a way to sort the function/variables ... list in a case insensitive manner ?

Thanks in advance

Hi, how can I insvruct jEdit
to wrap a selected (i. 300 chars long line) at a specific or some kind of usual column number?

It's not an automatic wraping at the view-layer that I want. I want to get \n-s inserted at for example every 80th character or better at each blank whose column# is > 80

does there exist such a command or does anyone has a macro for that?
Where can I find a collection of macros?

Hi,
Is there a way to add the references to manuals of other softwares - such as jdk api - so that the documentation can be loaded from a zip file into the jedit help window. i know that unziping the manual into jedit/doc/api folder along with a simple xml file does the job. However, its a criminal waste of space to unzip the manual (help files).

Thanks,

Salgavkar
