What's New in Oxygen XML Webhelp 23.1
Related Versions: 23.023.1
Version 23.1 of Oxygen XML WebHelp offers some very exciting enhancements and customization possibilities for the premier publishing solution for modern web-based help documentation.
Some of the new version highlights include:
- New transformation parameters and HTML fragment placeholder parameters to open up a myriad of additional possibilities for customizing the look and style of your output (e.g. you can integrate a custom search engine or add custom content to background areas that were previously inaccessible).
- The rendering of the various types of DITA
<note>
elements was redesigned to make them stand out and more visually appealing. - You now have the ability to add a component in your WebHelp output that links to the PDF equivalent of the documentation.
- This release also includes various bug fixes and component updates.
You can visually customize the web help HTML output using Oxygen Styles Basket, a free web-based visual tool that helps you fine-tune the CSS that is used by Oxygen XML WebHelp to produce web help output and by Oxygen PDF Chemistry to produce PDF.
The Oxygen WebHelp can now be used with the Oxygen Feedback 1.4 block-level comments functionality to form a flexible review solution, allowing users to add and manage comments contextually at a specific location within the WebHelp page where block elements appear. The Feedback Comments Manager plugin for Oxygen XML Editor/Author integrates also the block-level comments functionality, making it easier to locate the exact content source referenced by a particular comment and streamlines the process of making changes to the source document in response to the provided comments.
