Oxygen XML Editor 4.2

Schema Model View

The Model view provides schema-related information for the document elements and attributes. The content model, the element type, the attributes, the attribute type and constraints are presented in a compact manner giving the user an insight in the document schema while editing or browsing the document. XML schema annotations are extracted and presented for both element and attributes thus offering an instant help to the document author.

Content Completion Assistant Shows Schema Documentation

The XML Schema documentation is presented by the content completion support. The Content Completion Assistant offers additional information for the element and attribute proposals. It will look up the schema annotation and will make the documentation available to the author in a simple and elegant manner.

Annotated XML Schemas

To take advantage of the schema documentation support bundles annotated schemas for XSLT stylesheets and XML schemas.

Contrast Control

The contrast control options allow to change the transparency levels for markup or text. With a smart pop-up button located on the toolbar the user can easily change the focus of attention from markup to text and vice versa. For instance, the transparent markup option, combined with locking the tags, can be used for safe and easy text-only editing.

User Control over the Transformation in Progress

After starting a transformation an action becomes enabled, allowing the user to stop that transformation. Therefore, the user is in control and can decide to stop a time consuming transformation at any time.

Improved Search Support

Support for finding all occurrences in a file was made available via the contextual menu and through a configurable shortcut. If no text is selected then the word at cursor will be automatically detected and searched for.

Breakpoint Operations Enhancements

Added support to easily add, toggle or remove breakpoints in the Breakpoints panel.

Allow to Define XSLT Extensions Locations

The XSLT processor's extensions paths can be specified using a system property. Please consult the User Manual for details.

Ready-to-Use JSP 1.2 XML-Editing Support

An additional document template was added to allow creation of JSP 1.2 documents and the samples now have a JSP entry.
