[oXygen-user] [Ann] Oxygen XML Editor 17.1 beta - DITA Specific Improvements

Fri Oct 2 01:45:40 CDT 2015

Hi everybody,

For all DITA fans, here are more details about the DITA-specific 
improvements made in 17.1:

1) The dialog used to insert a topicref (or edit its properties) in the 
DITA Maps Manager has been totally rebuilt. It now allows you to also 
specify profiling conditions, to edit topicref metadata or to edit any 
other attribute on the topicref.
So in the DITA Maps Manager this new "Edit Properties" dialog can edit 
just about any property on a topicref (including defining metadata 
keywords on it).

2) Dialogs used to insert cross references or web links now allow you to 
also specify a DITA 1.2 target key.

3) The action "Insert Key Reference" was removed. Instead, the toolbar 
action "Reuse Content" can do multiple things:

3.1) Insert plain conrefs
3.2) Insert conkeyrefs
3.3) Insert keyrefs to metadata

4) We added support for DITA 1.3 (I'm attaching a topic which shows how 
to enable it and list of things of what we implemented).

4.1) For DITA Map cross domain publishing, we present the DITA Map 
referenced with scope="peer" and keyscope set on it with a special 
colored icon. We also have a tooltip for it + we also gather all keys 
from this peer map although the reference to it will not be expandable 
in the DITA Maps Manager.
4.2) We added support for the "Insert Equation" action to insert the 
proper DITA 1.3 Math ML constructs. Also both referenced MathML and SVG 
external resources (via <svgref> and <mathref) are properly rendered as 
images in the Author editing mode. We also installed your MathML and SVG 
rendering DITA OT plugins in the DITA OT 2.x which is now bundled with 
Oxygen.
4.3) Same-topic references. If I enabled DITA 1.3 support and I use the 
usual dialog for inserting crossreferences, if I'm inserting cross 
references in the same topic I will insert them using the new 
"#./elementID" syntax.
4.4) Once DITA 1.3 support is enabled, new DITA 1.3 Relax NG based file 
templates are available.
4.5) Support for key scopes both when validating, inserting, resolving 
key references and publishing:

4.6) Support for inserting, editing and publishing using branch filtering:

5) The DITA OT 2.x bundled with Oxygen is a very recent custom build so 
it should also contain some support for support for key scopes and 
branch filtering.

Regards,
Radu
