Hi all,

I can’t seem to find any information about how to keep the DOCTYPE when uploading files to a BaseX server.

Here’s the situation:

1. We use oXygen and we edit DITA files. 2. We want to use an XML native database, therefore we’re considering BaseX. 3. When importing files in a BaseX server, the DOCTYPE is dropped. 4. However, oXygen needs the DOCTYPE for editing DITA files.

Specifically, I am wondering if there is a BaseX server-side setting that would keep the DOCTYPE when uploading a file.

Many thanks for your help, Stefan

Hi,

Doctype is not preserved. At the moment you would have to re-add it when fetching the doc by some convention or custom PI.

You might also be interested in argon-author.com where we are working on what you described.

It is MIT License, so have a look if you like.

Regards, Max
