Oxygen XML Author 14.2

Related Versions: 14.014.114.2

Version 14.2 of Oxygen XML Author streamlines XML reviewing by adding support for highlights and a Review manager panel. Highlights help you focus on the content you need to review and the Review manager panel displays all the changes, comments and highlights from a document so you can quickly inspect and manage them.

Since searching for topics and other documents is probably the most important repetitive task a content author performs, Oxygen 14.2 improves the searching capabilities by adding a view for finding resources from the current project and from DITA maps. The search returns results immediately even for very large projects while supporting complex text search expressions (multiple words, boolean operators, group searches, etc.), as well as XML-aware filters.

Reviewing

Review Panel   [read more...] The Review panel provides a simplified way of monitoring all the insertions, deletions, comments, and highlights in an XML document. This handy tool is especially useful for large teams that need to gather and manage all the edits from working on the same project. The Review panel offers a wide range of reviewing actions, as well as a search filter.

Review Color Highlights   [read more...] Using the color highlight feature, you can create digital markers to emphasise important fragments in your documents. This is especially useful when you want to mark sections in your document that need additional work or the attention of others.

XML Authoring

Edit Table Column Specification Values Using Form Controls

Column specification properties in CALS and HTML tables can be edited directly using form controls in DITA, DocBook, and XHTML documents.

Fast Text Searching

Search Resources by Name or Content   [read more...] You can find resources by typing words from their content or by resource names (or even parts of their names). You also have the capability to search through comments, insertions, deletions, and highlighted content in all the resources of a project or opened DITA map. The results are available instantly. The Open/Find Resource view and the redesigned Open/Find Resource dialog box support both simple text and complex searches (boolean operator searches, XML-aware searches, group searches, etc.) The search index is automatically rebuilt when you make changes to files in your project (such as add, delete, refresh, or save resources).

CMS Integration and Connectivity

SharePoint Support

You can connect to a Microsoft SharePoint server, browse it using the Data Source Explorer view, edit, check-in, and check-out resources. The SharePoint support is available in the Oxygen XML Enterprise Edition only.
