[oXygen-user] [ANN] Version 5.0.0 of the Oxygen Batch Documents Converter add-on has been released!

[Alin Belu]

Hello everyone,

We are excited to announce that *version 5.0.0* of the *Oxygen Batch 
Documents Converter add-on* is now available!

For the newest version of the add-on, our team of developers worked hard 
to bring you an impressive list of useful improvements:

*** OpenAPI to DITA ***

* You can now convert JSON or YAML files that use and conform to the 
OpenAPI specification (versions 2.0, 3.0, or 3.1) to DITA documents and 
there is a 'Create DITA maps from OpenAPI documents' option that can be 
selected to instruct the converter to split the documents into separate 
topics that are referenced in a DITA map.

*** Word to HTML/DITA ***

* Improved the Word styles mapping configuration by inheriting the style 
configuration of the custom style from the base style.
* SVG images embedded in Word documents are preserved as SVG.
* IDs that result from image and table bookmarks are now handled better 
to find the correct location.
* Improved the IDs generation on topics and sections by using the text 
from headings.
* Improved the handling of tables by preserving header row information 
during the conversion.
* Fixed a case where a list that contains content between list items was 
broken into multiple lists.
* Fixed a case where multiple ordered lists were merged into one.
* Fixed a case where the conversion failed when the document contained 
duplicate mappings between numberings and styles.
* Fixed a case where WMF images were not handled by the converter.
* Fixed a case where the DITA result contained an invalid MathML equation.
* Fixed a case where the DITA result contained images wrapped in the 'b' 
element.
* Fixed a case where the value edited in the Word Styles Mapping table 
from the preferences page was not saved.
* Updated the Java-Mammoth library used for Word to HTML/DITA 
conversions to version 1.5.0.

*** HTML to DITA ***

* Improved the conversion of object elements from HTML by adding a 
proper 'outputclass' attribute in the DITA result.
* Added an option in the conversion dialog box that allows you to decide 
whether or not the 'div' elements will be ignored.
* Fixed a case where 'id' and 'class' attributes were lost when breaking 
paragraphs by processing the 'br' elements.

*** Markdown to DITA ***

* Added support for the Markdown abbreviations.
* Improved the conversion to allow processing of headings specified as 
HTML in the Markdown documents.
* Improved the handling of the local references.
* Improved the handling of the HTML anchor elements in the Markdown 
documents.

*** Other ***

* The formatting of 'pre' elements is prevented when converting HTML to 
XHTML.
* Fixed the layout of the preferences page because it was not entirely 
visible on low resolution screens.
