Getting each component on a single, separate line (this is useful for quickly reviewing long folder lists):
- Open the find and replace window in oXygen, and check the "Regular Expression" box.
- Find: “\n” Replace: “[type one blank space]” all code should be on a single line. If not, hit "Ctrl + Shift + Y" to turn off Line Wrap
- Find: “\t” Replace: “[type one blank space]”
- Find: “[two blank spaces]” Replace: “[one blank space]>” repeat this step until no more instances are found
- Find: “> <” Replace: “><”
- Find: "<c " Replace: "\n<c " (the single space after the "c" is important in both the find and the replace expression here)
Stylesheet:
- To associate the stylesheet, open the finding aid you want to preview, and click the icon in the top-middle of oXygen that looks like a green push-pin. Select the CSS tab at the top of the pop-up window, and browse to the stylesheet that lives here: N:\Administration_CHoM\Policies_and_Policy_Development\Processing\FindingAid_ToolsAndSchemas\EAD_Schemas_Stylesheets\oXygen
- Toggle to the “Author” view using the tab in the bottom-left of Oxygen to see a styled, more human-friendly rendering of the finding aid. This stylesheet doesn’t match Harvard’s stylesheet for end-users, but provides a preview that’s a bit quicker to use than the web-based OASIS previewer HOLLIS previewer.
- Color-coding functions given by this stylesheet:
- Blue text is text generated by the stylesheet
- Purple text is text generated from Attribute Values
- Black text is from the contents of EAD elements
