Migration from Serna to XML Author

[Drumminman]

Hi to everyone, and I have very fundamental question..
I'm trying to configure XML Author for working with customized DocBook version, wich is using in our company, and it'd customized for using with Syntex Serna+XMLMind FO Converter+Antenna XSL Formatter, custom dtd and xsd's, custom xslt styles, a lot of publishing scripts.
So, what I should to read, where I and for I should to look, to understand, in what order and what exactly I should to do to make this mission accomplished.
At first, we have slightly customized dtd, xsd and xslt styles set, how I could to apply it?

Hi,

In Oxygen the support for editing a certain XML vocabulary is based on this concept called "framework" (or "document type association").
If you look in the Oxygen Preferences->Document Type Association page there are two document type associations, one for Docbook 4 and the other for Docbook 5. All the Docbook framework configuration files and additional resources (schemas, catalogs, CSSs) are stored in the: OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\docbook

If you edit the one for which you want to alter support, it has various tabs in which you can configure association rules, an XML catalog, a default schema to be used for validation (if the XML documents do not specify one), an Author tab containing CSS for visual editing and custom Author actions:

So for example if you set up a new custom XML catalog, validation and content completion for Docbook documents will use that.
In the same framework editing dialog there is a "Transformations" tab in which you can create custom publishing transformation scenarios. Oxygen has support for ANT transformation scenario so you can call custom ANT build scripts.

Instead of directly modifying Oxygen's Docbook framework supports you can extend the framework configuration and share that extension with others:

Once you have set up a framework, you can share it with your colleagues in various ways:

Hope this helps.
