Output formats

Post by pwatt »

Hi,

I haven't used Oxygen software yet, but I want to know what output formats it supports. I don't even know if Oxygen outputs anything or is just an editor. I need to output the following:

- printable guides in PDF format (e.g. user guides, administrator guides...)
- online help (HTML help, browser help)
and it would be nice:
- a website

Can Oxygen do this for me? Or do I have to use it with something else that will do the actual "publishing" part?

Thanks.

Hello,

Oxygen can generate the final output from the edited XML source document with XSLT and XSL-FO transformations. For a transformation you need a transformation scenario, either a built-in one as for the built-in document types or a custom one created for your specific document. The format of the final output of the transformation is set by the stylesheet and it can be PDF, HTML, XHTML, HTML Help, Eclipse help, etc.

Also a set of HTML files can be generated by a single transformation as needed for a website. However Oxygen does not include a built-in stylesheet for that.


Regards,
Sorin
