Working with Archive Files
- EPUB - An e-book file format that can be used on many types of devices, such as smart phones, tablets, e-readers, or computers.
- OOXML - An XML-based file format for representing spreadsheets, charts, presentations, and word processing documents.
- ODF - An free and open-source XML-based file format for electronic office documents, such as spreadsheets, charts, presentations, and word processing documents.
- Document content (XHTML and image files).
- Packaging files.
- Container files.
When an archive is expanded in
the Archive
Browser view, you can add or delete files that compose the
archive structure. All changes made to the structure of an archive are saved immediately. You
can open files from within the archive to edit them in the main editing pane and save changes
back to the archive. You can also use the 
Open in System Application action to open the archive
in the default system application that is associated with that type of file.
EPUB-Specific Validation
When working with EPUB archives, the Archive
Browser includes a
Validate action on the toolbar that checks the EPUB archive to make sure the
structure and content are valid. Oxygen XML Developer uses the open-source
EpubCheck validator to perform the validation. This validator detects many types of
errors, including OCF container structure, OPF and OPS mark-up, as well as internal
reference consistency.
