<b>What's New in Oxygen XML Editor 26.1</b><br>
<br>
Oxygen XML Editor is an incremental release of the
industry-leading bundle of tools for content authors, developers,
collaborators, and publishers.<br>
<br>
Starting with this version, <b>DITA authors</b> can now convert
sections to new topic files while preserving the DITA topic type,
saving time and effort while ensuring that content remains
properly structured. When editing DITA topics, several actions
listed as proposals are accessible from the content completion
window to help make it easier to insert content references and key
references. A new option is also available to control whether or
not non-DITA resources are automatically converted to DITA when
inserting topic references in the DITA Maps Manager, yet another
time saving improvement.<br>
<br>
<b>DITA publishers</b> that use the Zendesk Help Center
transformation scenario will be happy to know that it now
automatically creates and publishes a table of contents and also
supports publishing to a subsection. For CSS-based PDF
transformations, the new support for prepress print layout ensures
that your PDFs are print-ready. The PDF transformation now also
automatically fixes some incorrect values for the units of
measurement detected in the width/height of images. When running
DITA transformations, the real-time progress is constantly updated
in the status bar to keep users informed of the current publishing
step being processed.<br>
<br>
<b>Author mode</b> improvements include the content completion's
Split action now automatically adding required first child
elements inside the newly created element, removing extra steps
from the editing process. Also, the spell checker now detects
spelling errors for text inside two consecutive inline elements
without a space in between them, helping to keep content
error-free by preventing words from being incorrectly merged
together.<br>
<br>
Some quality of life improvements were also added when using <b>Markdown</b>.
The Smart Paste mechanism converts Markdown content that is pasted
within XML documents in Author mode into the target vocabulary.
Syntax highlights are now displayed for other languages embedded
within Markdown, making it easy to identify and edit code snippets
in different languages. The DITA preview pane now presents colors
and filters for profiling attributes, allowing users to visualize
their filtered content with ease.<br>
<br>
<b>JSON users</b> now have the power to transform JSON documents
using <b>XSLT transformation scenarios</b>, unlocking a myriad of
new possibilities. The content completion for JSON offers
proposals even when no schema is associated and the JSON Outline
view can help increase productivity as it now displays the number
of child elements in each array's label and also supports drag and
drop. Furthermore, basic text editing support was added for<b>
JSON5</b> documents, and a new <b>JSON Schema Validator add-on</b>
is available to provide support for validating JSON documents
against JSON schema version 2020-12.<br>
<br>
The <b>AI Positron Assistant</b> continues to get impressive
updates. A separate Enterprise version of the Oxygen AI Positron
Assistant add-on is now available for users who want to connect
directly to OpenAI accounts or Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service. New
document templates are available to help easily create AI Positron
custom actions, unlocking personalized AI solutions. A new AI
action is also available to translate content into any desired
language. The AI Positron Refactoring action makes it easier than
ever to refactor and optimize AI projects and it now works when
applied on remote resources. In addition, the chat pane now uses
XML syntax highlighting for XML code to make it easier to
visualize and understand the AI response.<br>
<br>
Other features and improvements were added as well. One such
feature is the ability to execute Quick fix proposals in bulk,
which allows users to resolve multiple issues at once. The latest
engines are available for the Saxon XSLT and XQuery Transformer
add-on and XProc 3.0 schemas were added to offer support for
content completion and validation for XProc 3.0 files. Unique
values are now automatically generated for ID-type attributes that
are inserted using the Content Completion Assistant, saving time
by eliminating the need to manually add them. Also, schema files
and new file templates were added to support editing DocBook 5.2
documents and SVG 1.2 Tiny documents.<br>
<br>
This release also implements a variety of performance
improvements, security enhancements, API and component updates,
and various bug fixes.<br>

<b>What's New in Oxygen XML Scripting 26.1</b><br>

<b>What's New in Oxygen XML Web Author 26.1</b><br>
<br>
This release has some interesting new features for DITA users,
introducing <b>support for DITA-OT project files</b> and
providing better handling of DITAVAL filters. The DITA Map pane
allows users to specify a DITA-OT project file and choose between
the contexts defined within it. Users may also easily switch
profiling conditions, and there is the option to hide or present
as grayed out content that is excluded by the current filter in
the document, DITA Maps pane, and in the Outline pane.<br>
<br>
The AI Positron Assistant's feature for previewing changes was
improved to allow choosing which of the AI's proposed changes will
be incorporated into users' documents. When dragging a node within
the Outline pane, the outline tree automatically scrolls along
with the movement to make it easier to precisely drop the node
where needed. The Unicode support was improved to better support
surrogate characters (e.g. emoji characters) and the text mode is
available as read-only mode for concurrent editing sessions. When
Markdown content is pasted within DITA, DocBook, TEI, or XHTML
documents, it is automatically converted to the target vocabulary
by the smart paste functionality.<br>
<br>
If users develop Web Author customizations, the new CSS Inspector
lets them see the styles of the selected element and the process
of uploading a framework now includes validation to keep
customized frameworks error-free. Server logs are available from
the Administration Page to help troubleshoot issues with the Web
Author server and some new URL parameters are also available to
impose a DITAVAL filter or a DITA-OT project context for filtering
the document.<br>
<br>
Version 26.1 also brings a variety of performance improvements,
security enhancements, API and component updates, and bug fixes.<br>
