Oxygen XML Forum

oXygen is very impressive in its feature set. Actually it was oXygen's cool support of DocBook (http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/DocBookAuthoringTools) which referred me.

But DocBook it seems has been topped! DITA seems to be the upcoming new text (natural language) document format of choice, beating out DocBook in terms of re-purposing content and even S1000D in terms over overall flexibility and extensibility -- at least that's what I'm reading when googling for "DITA DocBook" and "DITA S1000D" --take a peek.

Thus DITA is the format our organization is thinking about using, so I'm kind of bummed oXygen isn't supporting it yet. On a key list of all WYSIWYG XML editors supporting DITA, notably missing is oXygen. Please add DITA support.

But I'm glad you're considering DITA: I'm submitting my vote for it on your cool feature-request survey.

I'm glad your ultra-cool product comparison also mentions DITA (add more competitors, as XMetaL, BTW); and I hope you can be checking off DITA support for yourself there soon. Please add me to the email notification list for when you get DITA! Sincerely, -Mike B. Parker

BTW, this is the correct URL for the feature request survey; the one I posted earlier was an internal frame found via search, and didn't work.
