Oxygen XML Author 15.1
With the release of version 15.1, Oxygen is the first XML editor to fully support right-to-left and bidirectional text in the visual editing mode. Content authors are able to create and edit XML documents in the OxygenAuthor mode in languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and others.
This version of Oxygen XML makes a leap forward in working with XML modules. Using the Master Files support, Oxygen assists you while editing an XML document that belongs to a set of assembled modules, and provides you features such as module validation, in-context Content Completion Assistant, ID referencing or module connection overview.
The integration of the entire DITA for Publishers plugins suite enables Oxygen users to produce Kindle output from DITA maps.
The Eclipse version (4.3) is now supported by the Oxygen XML Eclipse plugin. Also, to keep you up-to-date, we bundled the latest third-party components such as Saxon Enterprise Edition 9.5.1.2, TEI Schemas (2.5.0), TEI Stylesheets (7.1.0), DITA for Publishers 0.9.18, and Calabash 1.0.13.
There are changes in:
Working with Modular XML Files in the Master Files Context
XML Module Validation [read more...]
When you validate an XML document, Oxygen automatically determines the Main Files that reference that module and validates the entire hierarchy of the assembled modules. This is especially useful, for example, when a module references IDs that are declared in another part of this hierarchy.
XML Module Editing [read more...]
The Content Completion Assistant uses the schema declarations from the Main Files and only proposes elements and attributes that are valid in a particular editing context.
Search/Refactor Support for ID/IDREFS [read more...]The Main Files defined for the current module determines the scope of search and refactoring actions for ID/IDREFS values and for updating references when renaming or moving a resource. Oxygen performs search and refactoring actions in the context that is determined by the Main Files, improving the execution speed. |  |
Module Connections Overview [read more...]The Resource Hierarchy/Dependencies view allows you to visualize and understand the relationship between XML resources that are referenced using XInclude and external entity mechanisms. |  |
Renaming or Moving an XML Module Updates its References [read more...]
Oxygen automatically updates all the references to a module when the module is renamed or moved in the Project or Resource Hierarchy/Dependencies view.
XML Visual Editing
Bidirectional Text Support in Author Editing Mode [read more...]
Oxygen is the first XML editor to offer complete support for languages that require right to left writing. This means that content authors editing documents in the OxygenAuthor mode are able to create and edit XML content in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu and other right to left languages.
Table and List Sorting [read more...]
The advanced sorting support in Oxygen allows you to sort the content of tables and list items. The dedicated Sort dialog box lets you sort an entire table or list, or a selection of rows or list items. You can also use the Sort dialog box to perform a sorting operation based on multiple criteria.
