[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hello,

We are pleased to announce the release of Oxygen XML Editor version 21.1.

See the complete list of new features here:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/#new-version

New in Oxygen XML Editor 21.1
=============================
Version 21.1 of the Oxygen XML Editor includes numerous improvements for 
DITA, CSS-based PDF publishing, JSON, XSLT, translation support in the 
content completion feature, new editing features and validation support 
for HTML documents, new APIs, various component updates, and much more.

Some examples of improvements added in this version for DITA authoring 
include the ability to use the Resource Hierarchy/Dependencies view to 
show all the direct references for DITA resources, a new action (Find 
Similar Topics) that can be used to quickly find related topics that can 
be added as related links in the current topic, improvements when 
pasting table content both inside the table or outside, and when 
searching for references to images, the generated results will report 
direct references, instances where key references are used, and links to 
IDs.

For those who use the CSS-based PDF publishing support, the DITA Map to 
PDF - based on HTML5 .& CSS transformation scenario now has support 
for a new parameter for generating a mini table of contents at the 
beginning of each chapter, support was added for numerous languages 
(including Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Spanish), new parameters can be 
used to control deep numbering options, and you now have the ability to 
style topics depending on their role (such as preface, notice, abstract, 
or copyright). The XML to PDF Transformation with CSS scenario was also 
improved to include an option to apply CSS stylesheets that are 
specified in the framework.

With the release of version 21.1, Oxygen PDF Chemistry is no longer in a 
BETA stage. Oxygen PDF Chemistry is included in Oxygen as the default 
PDF publishing engine and it is also now available as a separate 
commercial option for those who want to use the publishing engine 
outside of Oxygen.

An HTML framework was added to provide specialized editing features for 
HTML content, without treating it as XHTML. The brand new HTML editor 
offers various editing features such as a new document template, folding 
support, syntax highlighting, and the Content Completion Assistant 
offers HTML-specific proposals as well as annotations and links to the 
HTML5 specification. A built-in validator based on the W3C HTML 
Validator was added and the Outline view handles void elements or 
elements that are not closed to present the HTML structure properly.

JSON users now have a tool for generating sample JSON instances from a 
JSON schema, the JSON document template now includes several 
customization options, and JSON Schemas with multiple references are 
resolved correctly. XSLT developers now have proposals in the content 
completion for XSLT 3.0 accumulators, better support for text value 
templates, and transformation improvements.

Other features and improvements include translation support for the 
Content Completion Assistant, a new XPath function that returns the 
current platform, and nested editor variables are now supported. As 
always, this release includes numerous other requested features, API 
additions, bug fixes, and component updates.
