Line wrap: Document  > Edit > Toggle Line Wrap (or Ctrl+Shift+Y)

Validate: Document > Validate > Validate (or Ctrl+Shift+V)

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
