<div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><div class="body"> <div class="p">There are varios ways in the <strong class="ph b">Oxygen</strong> standalone version through which a team of writers can share and use a set of common settings. Below I will try to list each of these possibilities along with useful links:<ul class="ul" id="topic_whr_nly_c5__ul_m2f_sly_c5"> <li class="li"> <p class="p"> Save the settings at project level and have all users use the same project <strong class="ph b">"projectName.xpr"</strong> file in the Project view when editing. Most of the Oxygen Preference pages have a switch radio button which allows you to pass the settings to Project level and save them in the current project configuration file opened in the Project view. If you commit that Project configuration file to a version control system like <strong class="ph b">GIT</strong> or <strong class="ph b">SVN</strong>, all writers can open and use that project when working with the repository content. </p> <p class="p">For example, when we work on the <strong class="ph b">Oxygen User's Manual</strong> using our common <strong class="ph b">GitHub</strong> repository, we all open in the <strong class="ph b">Project</strong> view the <strong class="ph b">"userguide.xpr"</strong> project which comes with various fixed options (eg: enabling automatic spell checking):<a class="xref" href="https://github.com/oxygenxml/userguide" target="_blank">https://github.com/oxygenxml/userguide</a></p> <p class="p">You can find out more details about sharing projects here: <a class="xref" href="https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/17.1/ug-editor/#topics/sharing-projects.html" target="_blank">https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/17.1/ug-editor/#topics/sharing-projects.html</a>.</p> </li> <li class="li"> <p class="p">Create and then provide a <strong class="ph b">default options XML document</strong> to others. When placed in a specific place in the Oxygen installation or referenced via a specific property in the application startup script, this default options XML document will be used by the application to provide default values for certain settings. You can find out more about how default options work here:<a class="xref" href="https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/17.1/ug-editor/#topics/default-options.html" target="_blank">https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/17.1/ug-editor/#topics/default-options.html</a>.</p> </li> <li class="li">Have others manually <strong class="ph b">import</strong> an options XML document which you <strong class="ph b">exported</strong> from Oxygen:<a class="xref" href="https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/17.1/ug-editor/#topics/import-export-preferences.html" target="_blank">https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/17.1/ug-editor/#topics/import-export-preferences.html</a>.</li> <li class="li"> <p class="p">An Oxygen plugin could use our <strong class="ph b">Java API</strong> to impose fixed options when the application starts using the API method: <strong class="ph b">PluginWorkspaceProvider.getPluginWorkspace().setGlobalObjectProperty(key, value)</strong>. In our <a class="xref" href="https://www.oxygenxml.com/oxygen_sdk.html" target="_blank">Maven-based SDK</a> we have a sample plugin called <strong class="ph b">ImposeOptions</strong> which imposes a fixed set of options when the application starts. </p> </li> </ul></div> <p class="p">If you want to share <strong class="ph b">document type configurations</strong> (for editing certain XML vocabulary) you can find more details in this older blog post: <a class="xref" href="http://blog.oxygenxml.com/2015/08/document-type-extension-sharing.html" target="_blank">http://blog.oxygenxml.com/2015/08/document-type-extension-sharing.html</a>.</p> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AboutOxygenXmlEditor/~4/ijz2ztr8NGQ?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1" alt=""/></div>
