      • Visual (WYSIWYG) XML Editors

        Oxygen offers CSS-based, out-of-the-box visual editing support for a number of important XML documentation frameworks (DITA, DocBook, TEI, XHTML). Also, if you are planning to use other types of XML documents, an API is available for customizing Oxygen.

        • Generic Visual XML Editor

          Oxygen allows you to visually edit any XML document. By default, Oxygen includes out-of-the-box capabilities for content review, change tracking, profiling, and conditional text, all of which are independent from XML vocabulary. Driven by CSS stylesheets, Oxygen is simple to use and highly customizable.

          • Customizable XML Editor

            The Author mode in Oxygen XML Editor offers you a productive way to author XML documents, in a manner similar to using a word processor. Oxygen can easily be customized to visually edit any XML document according to your organizational needs and preferences.

          • User-Friendly XML Visual Editing

            Oxygen makes XML document authoring much easier than editing with an unstructured word processing application. Oxygen keeps your documents more organized and efficient by only allowing valid structure and eliminating the need to encode semantics into arbitrary styling. It also reduces the time used in editing content by guiding the author through the process.

          • Built-in Table Support

            Oxygen offers built-in support for both CALS and HTML table models. If your XML vocabulary adheres to one of those models, Oxygen will automatically detect the table elements and structure the content in a tabular fashion. If your XML vocabulary uses other table standards, you can use the standard W3C CSS table styling properties in the associated stylesheet.

          • Review Tools

            Oxygen includes a variety of helpful review tools that improve your ability to collaborate with other members of your team. The review features include the ability to track changes, mark content for various reasons, add comments or comment threads in your content, manage the review features, and to search comments or changes.

          • Profiling/Conditional Text

            Profiling text is a way to mark blocks of text meant to appear in some renditions of the document but not in others. For example, you can mark a section of a document that is to be included in a manual to be designated for 'expert' users and another section for 'novice' users, while unmarked sections are included in all renditions.

          • Constant Validation

            Keeping the content valid at all times is a top priority. As a result, Oxygen will automatically reject actions that will make the document invalid and propose solutions to keep the document valid. Document validation is performed automatically each time the document is changed.

        • XML Digital Signature and XML Canonicalization

          Oxygen includes a tool for creating and checking digital signatures for both enveloped and detached signatures. The enveloped signatures are stored in the signed document, while the detached ones are stored in a separate file.

          A digital signature is a requirement when exchanging information on an untrusted network. Since XML is used for content storage, it is important to be able to digitally sign the XML files or messages.

        • Helper Views

          There is a set of views, located by default at the side of the editing area, to help you with XML editing. They display the structure of currently edited XML elements, as well as the available attributes and entities.

      • Oxygen WebHelp for DITA and DocBook

        Oxygen offers support for transforming DITA and DocBook resources into WebHelp output. WebHelp consists of a series of HTML pages, neatly integrated into a system that offers table of contents, index navigation, text search capabilities, and various delivery formats (including feedback-enabled systems).

        A WebHelp system is the result of running a transformation scenario. However, if you require an automated process that produces the WebHelp output, the same result can be obtained by running the transformation inside Oxygen XML WebHelp Plugin, which is a command-line interface application that requires its own license key.

    • Events Webinar: Guided authoring - enforcing editing rules

      When editing documents there are various rules that you want your content authors to follow, such as grammar rules, document structure guidelines, business requirements, style preferences, or rules for the generated output. To enforce these rules, companies often use grammar checking apps, custom schemas or best practice guides. For content authors, there are usually too many rules to remember them all when writing content. The best approach for this challenge is to signal the user when a rule violation is detected and offer suggestions to help them solve possible rule problems and maintain integrity in their documentation.

    • Events Webinar: Understanding and developing Schematron Quick Fixes

      Schematron solves certain limitations that other types of schema have when validating XML documents since it allows the schema developer to define the errors and control the messages that are presented to the user. Therefore, Schematron makes the validation errors more accessible to users and helps to ensures that they understand the problem. These messages may also include hints to help the user to fix the problem, but this doesn't complete the solution since the user still needs to manually correct the issue. This may cause users to waste valuable time and also creates the possibility of making additional errors while trying to manually fix the reported problem. Schematron Quick Fixes provide automatic actions to fix validation errors, thus offering a complete solution, while saving time and avoiding the potential for causing other issues.
