Oxygen XML Editor 10.2
Related Versions: 10.010.110.210.3
April 15, 2009
Content Change Tracking
The support for collaborative editing was improved with the addition of content
change tracking to the Oxygen 10.2 visual editing mode.
Change Tracking [read more...]
Change tracking is a way to keep a history of the changes made to a document. When change tracking is enabled, inserted and deleted content is highlighted in the document, allowing you to easily identify the affected regions. Tracked changes can be rendered in callouts (balloons) displayed at the side of the document with connecting lines pointing to the changed content.
Multiple Authors Support [read more...]
Oxygen supports changes from multiple authors, rendering each author's changes with different colors.
Change Management [read more...]
You can review the changes made by you or other authors and then accept or reject them using actions in the contextual menu, on the toolbar, or from the Review panel.
Visual Editing (Author) Mode
Compact Representation for the Tags-on View
Oxygen offers 6 different modes for presenting the element tags, ranging
from no tags to full tags with attributes. In version 10.2 the tags are displayed in a
compact way allowing the user to see more of his document in the same editing
area.
Improved Support for Included Content
The representation of included content (external entities, XInclude, etc.) was
updated to label the included content with only a small icon that allows to open the
referenced document. The content of the included document is rendered in the including
document and can appear both in block and in inline contexts.
Support for CSS Width Properties
Oxygen XML Editor version 10.2 provides support for the CSS
width properties: min-width, max-width
and width. This allows you to specify the width for tables, table
columns, paragraphs, images, etc.
CSS Extension Function attributes()
This CSS extension function returns a string containing serialized form of the
attributes of the current element and allows you to write a CSS for Oxygen XML Author
that presents parts of the document as XML code.
Document Frameworks
More Flexible Document to Framework Association
It is possible to use patterns when defining the document type association
rules. For example, to detect ant scripts the association rules can specify the root
element to be "project" and the files names to match the pattern
"build*.xml".
Image Scaling
The default CSS stylesheets for DITA, DocBook and XHTML were updated to use the
image width attributes to automatically scale the images to match the specified
widths.
Table Width and Column Width Support
The Oxygen XML Author API for tables provides support for width management.
The default table support for DITA, DocBook and XHTML was updated to take into account the
width from the table and column specifications covering both fixed and proportional
dimensions.
Visual Table Width Management
Oxygen 10.2 allows to visually resize DITA, DocBook and XHTML tables and
table columns in the Author mode.
DITA OT 1.4.3
Oxygen integrates the latest DITA Open Toolkit, version
1.4.3.
DocBook OLink Support
Oxygen allows to easily insert an olink by browsing or searching the olink
database.
Added DocBook 4.5 DTDs
The DocBook 4.5 DTDs are available in the DocBook 4 framework.
Additional Frameworks
A Widgets framework provides a default schema for the widget configuration
files. A Twitter framework provides a default CSS for rendering Twitter statuses in the
Author mode.
Author SDK
Author API Extension: CSS Styles Filter
Developers can change the styles of the XML elements displayed in the
Author mode dynamically by registering a styles filter
implementation.
Author API Extension: Content Completion Filter
Developers can change the list of content completion proposals by registering a
content completion filter implementation.
Document Listener Methods
Developers can register listeners for receiving notifications about the content
to be inserted and deleted. The document changes can be accepted or rejected.
XML Schema
Improved Design of the XML Schema Diagram
The components from the XML Schema diagram gain in visibility by using
different colors and shapes for each component type. The symbols for the compositors
(sequence, choice, all) and the occurrence labels are more compact and layout-friendly.
The connection lines are thickened when linked to a required component. There are also
many other changes that make the diagram more ergonomic.
Search and Refactoring Actions Available from the XML Schema Diagram
The powerful search and rename components actions can be triggered from the XML
Schema diagram and from the Outline view. The scope of these actions can be set to the
entire project or to a list of files and directories.
Editing Improvements in the XML Schema Diagram
There are a number of improvements in the editing support for the XML schemas,
including in-diagram editing for attributes, in-place editing for all/sequence/choice, and
a number of additional drag-and-drop actions (dropping a type on an element to set the
element type, on a complex type to set the base type, etc.)
Hierarchy/Dependencies View for XML Schema Import/Include Links
The relationship between schemas can be visualized and understood with the help
of the Hierarchy/Dependencies view.
Author Mode for XML Schema
The Author mode is available on the XML Schema editor allowing
to edit the annotations visually and presenting a really nice and compact view of the XML
Schema, with support for links on included/imported schemas. Embedded Schematron rules can
be rendered using the alternate CSS stylesheet for XML Schema plus
Schematron.
XML Schema Documentation
Component Level Chunking
The XHTML output of the XML Schema documentation can be generated in chunks,
one file for each XML Schema component. This is useful when generating documentation for
large schemas when a split based on namespace or schema file that were previously
available is not enough to get files of reasonable size for the documentation output.
Relax NG, Schematron, and NVDL
Hierarchy/Dependencies View for Relax NG Import/External Ref Links
The relationship between Relax NG schemas can be visualized and understood with
the help of the Hierarchy/Dependencies view.
Author Mode for Relax NG
The Author mode is available in the Relax NG schema editor
presenting the schema very similar with the Relax NG compact syntax. The imported schemas
and external references are presented with links enabling an easier navigation to those
schemas. Embedded Schematron rules can be rendered using the alternate CSS stylesheet for
Relax NG plus Schematron.
Author Mode for Schematron
The Author mode is available in the Schematron editor
presenting the Schematron and ISO Schematron schemas in a nice visual
rendering.
Author Mode for NVDL
The Author mode is available in the NVDL scripts editor
presenting them in a compact and easy to understand representation.
XSLT and XQuery
Hierarchy/Dependencies View for XSLT Import/Include Links
The relationship between XSLT stylesheets can be visualized and understood with
the help of the Hierarchy/Dependencies view.
Sequence View for Presenting XQuery Transformation Results
The Sequence view for XQuery output allows to browse and identify each of the
sequence members. It takes advantage of the lazy evaluation support implemented by some
XML databases to fetch the results on demand.
XSLT and XQuery Content Completion Assistant for Saxon Extensions
Saxon specific functions are proposed by the Content Completion Assistant for
XSLT and XQuery when the extensions namespace is declared. The functions are presented
together with their documentation so the developer gets instant help.
Author Mode for XSLT
The Author mode is available in the XSLT editor. This enables
the possibility to provide different views on the XSLT stylesheets.
General and Usability Features
Contextual Actions of the Archive Browser View to Preview Images and SVG Files
Oxygen allows working with ZIP based formats (OOXML, ODF, Widgets, etc.) by
presenting their content in an Archive browser and editing their resources as normal
files. It is also possible to see the images and to render the SVG files from the Archive
Browser view.
More Information in the Elements View
The Elements view shows also the other elements that can appear inside the
current element but not at the current position.
Better Accessibility for Dialog Boxes
Oxygen computes automatically and sets mnemonics on all the dialog boxes
actions so you can use ALT+letter to invoke them.
Filter for the "Menu Shortcut Keys" Options
All of the Oxygen actions can be invoked through shortcuts defined in the
Options->Menu Shortcut keys preferences page. The filter allows to quickly locate an
action to define a shortcut for it.
Support for Read-Only Files
A lock decoration appears in the editor tab for read-only files and the content
cannot be changed. The read-only status appears also in the Properties view.
More Editor Variables
An editor variable is available representing the path separator, ${ps}, that
allows creating portable command lines for external tools. The editor variable for
Oxygen home folder, ${oxygenInstallDir}, is available in the context of configuring an
external FO processor.
