Syncro Soft announces the release of Oxygen AI Positron Assistant version 4.1! 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

Syncro Soft is proud to announce the release of Oxygen AI Positron Assistant 4.1, a powerful tool that helps users increase their productivity by providing support for using AI-generated content within Oxygen tools - Oxygen XML Editor/Author/Developer, Oxygen JSON Editor, Oxygen XML Web Author, and Oxygen Content Fusion.

Version 4.1 enhances existing AI features and introduces a wide range of new functionalities, including improved validation tools, dynamic AI workflows, and enhanced collaboration capabilities, making the assistant even more capable and user-friendly.

Key Enhancements in Version 4.1 for Oxygen XML Editor/Author/Developer and JSON Editor

* Preview Changes Before File Updates

Several AI actions, such as Create Topics and Split Topic, can create or update multiple files. With version 4.1, users can preview the changes these actions will make before saving them to disk, ensuring greater confidence and control over modifications.

* Fix Validation Problems

The Intelligent Agents category now includes a new Fix Validation Problems action. This action validates the current document and suggests fixes for all identified issues, streamlining both the validation process and the resolution of validation problems, ensuring high-quality content.

* AI-based MathML Generation

The new Formula/Equation action leverages AI to generate MathML formulas based on user descriptions. This feature simplifies the creation of complex mathematical representations and enhances technical documentation workflows.

* AI-based Code Annotations

The Annotate Code action adds comments to XSLT, Schematron, or XSD code, explaining its purpose and functionality. This is particularly useful for developers aiming to improve code readability and maintainability.

* Export and Import Chat Sessions

Version 4.1 introduces the Export Chat action, allowing users to export chat sessions as JSON documents. These can be shared with others or re-imported using the Import Chat action, making it easier to troubleshoot custom AI actions issues, or to resume conversations at a later time.

* Notification for Unchanged Content

When an AI action processes content but does not result in any changes, the user is now informed, eliminating the need for unnecessary previews or visual inspection. This improvement saves time and ensures a smoother workflow.

* Invoke Positron Actions from XPath

A new XPath function (ai:invoke-action) has been introduced, enabling users to seamlessly invoke an AI Positron action from any XPath context (such as XSLT, XQuery, Schematron, etc.) by providing the action ID, contextual text, and the content to be processed.

* New AI Callback Functions to Enable Dynamic Workflows

The plugin now includes several new AI callback functions, which are specialized mechanisms enabling the AI to dynamically invoke external processing and use the results in generating its response. These new functions can be used to invoke another AI action, to find all the available AI actions, and to validate a document, thus empowering users to create complex, dynamic workflows as part of a custom AI action.

• The callback function that invokes an AI action that enables the delegation of processing to other AI actions, thus a developer can use a divide-et-impera approach to simplify and optimize the AI action processing.
  For example, if the users need to format a text document as a DITA topic, they could invoke an action that decides which topic type to use and afterwards delegates specific actions to format the text as a DITA task, concept, reference, troubleshooting, etc., depending on the determined topic type. Thus, instead of a very complex action that needs to know how to format all possible topic types, simpler actions can be used that focus on less complex processing.
• Instead of specifying a predefined set of AI actions that can be invoked, the users can let the AI discover all the available AI actions and invoke them dynamically as needed, via the callback function that returns all the defined actions.
  This allows developers to create dynamic AI actions that have access to a "toolbox" of other AI tools and let the AI decide which tools to use to perform a specific task.
• When processing or generating content, an AI action can now use the callback function that validates a document, ensuring that the generated content is valid. In case of errors, it offers the opportunity to automatically correct the detected problems.

Version 4.1 Updates for Web Author and Content Fusion

Most of the features were also implemented for Oxygen XML Web Author and Oxygen Content Fusion, including the Fix Validation Problems action, the Formula/Equation action, the notification when content is not changed, and the AI callback function to validate a document.

In addition to the support to attach a remote file, a new Attach from computer option allows users to incorporate files from their local machine into prompts. Attachments are useful in various use cases. For example, the user can attach a screenshot and ask the AI to update a documentation topic based on that image.

Syncro Soft announces the release of Oxygen AI Positron Assistant version 4.0! 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

Syncro Soft is proud to announce the release of Oxygen AI Positron Assistant 4.0, a powerful tool that helps users increase their productivity by providing support for using AI-generated content within Oxygen tools - Oxygen XML Editor/Author/Developer, Oxygen JSON Editor, Oxygen XML Web Author, and Oxygen Content Fusion. Version 4.0 enhances the existing AI features and introduces new actions and functionalities, making the assistant even more capable.

With version 4.0, the recently implemented Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) optimization process was broadened. In addition to retrieving context information from a project, it can now also retrieve content using the Oxygen Feedback search functionality. The AI Positron Fix action now also leverages the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) process, leading to more relevant error fixes.

Intelligent Agents is a newly added category of AI-powered actions that introduces a set of powerful tools designed to streamline DITA XML topic management. These intelligent agents go beyond simple content manipulation, offering advanced capabilities to save files, add references to the DITA map, and access a wide range of functions for contextual understanding and project structure modification. The new actions available in this category include:

• Expand Draft - Enhances a draft of a DITA XML topic by refining the content, adding markup that is consistent with similar topics, and generating documentation based on the referenced images using Vision support.
• Split Topic - Splits large topics with numerous subjects into multiple topic files. The newly created topics are also conveniently referenced in the DITA map that is currently open in the DITA Maps Manager.
• Create Topics - Generates DITA XML topics based upon user input, incorporating relevant project content. It creates a topic hierarchy, assigns DITA document types, and proposes a DITA map location. Topics are then saved and added upon user approval.

The Reuse category is another addition to the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant, focusing on optimizing content management and consistency within DITA XML workflows. It introduces the following AI-powered actions:

• Component - Asks the AI to identify the most similar existing reusable component that matches the current selected paragraph.
• Product Name - Searches for product names in the selected content and replaces them with key references if keys are defined for the particular product names.

Developers will benefit from the new Suggest Refactoring AI action, which generates suggestions to refactor selected XSLT or XSD code, thus making it easier to understand and maintain. Additionally, the existing Generate Code action now produces code that is more relevant to the current editor type (XSL, XQuery, CSS, JSON, XML Schema, or Schematron) by reusing components from the current document.

Moreover, information about the document type is now automatically passed to the AI for context in chat sessions, and various new function calls were added that can be referenced within custom actions to offer context information in order to retrieve more relevant answers from the AI.

Other improvements include the proper detection of Markdown content containing XML code in the AI's response, allowing for the XML code block to be inserted or previewed. Additionally, document type information is now automatically passed as context for conversations when initiated directly from a new chat with the AI. Various security enhancements have also been implemented.

Syncro Soft announces the release of Oxygen Content Fusion version 7.1! 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

Syncro Soft, the developer of the Oxygen XML suite of products, is proud to announce the release of Oxygen Content Fusion 7.1, the web-based collaboration platform for content creation!

Version 7.1 builds on the "projects" concept introduced in the previous version by enhancing its functionality and offering even more capabilities. A project enables users to make changes across multiple files and once they are happy with the results, these can be committed directly to the repository to be shared with the rest of the team.

This release provides various new ways to manage files and folders in the project personal workspace, including easy methods for renaming or moving resources. The references for renamed or moved files are updated automatically to ensure that the links and references remain valid. Now, users have simple ways to upload resources from their local computer to their workspace. Other file management improvements include the ability to discard all changes to return the personal workspace to a clean state and the new multiple editor tabs support makes project exploration more efficient.

The personal workspace also received two powerful features, one for searching within the project and another for validating the entire DITA project, useful especially before committing to make sure the changes do not introduce any problems. Also, defining new publications and updating existing ones is now possible directly from the personal workspace. All changes that are the result of creating and editing publications can now be submitted in a single commit.

The file comparison tool was enhanced with the possibility of comparing XML files in text mode and the diff and merge support now also works for Markdown and other text files.

It is now possible to create a review task from the changes the users make in their personal workspace to make it easy to send the changes for review before integrating them into the project.

Other improvements were implemented to streamline and boost the authoring experience. Now, users have the ability to highlight document content using one of the predefined color markers to flag content that needs special attention, for example during a review process. A toolbar action was added to display and edit a DITA map with all of the topic content expanded as one document. It is now possible to insert links and add references to existing topics within a DITA map using drag and drop functionality. A simple text editor is also provided for making changes to non-XML files in the personal workspace.

Syncro Soft announces the release of Oxygen AI Positron Assistant version 3.0! 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

Syncro Soft is proud to announce the release of version 3.0 for Oxygen AI Positron Assistant, a powerful tool that helps users increase their productivity by providing support for using AI-generated content within Oxygen tools - Oxygen XML Editor/Author/Developer, Oxygen XML Web Author, and Oxygen Content Fusion.

Version 3.0 continues to increase the efficiency of using the tool as certain actions now leverage the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) process to obtain context from the users' current projects, ensuring that the AI responses are not only more meaningful but also tailored for their particular projects.

The new AI Positron Assistant drop-down widget offers a very quick and convenient way of accessing useful AI actions by displaying a floating contextual menu directly within the editing area. For example, it contains a useful new action named Rewrite content that opens a floating input box where users can provide the AI with instructions on how to process the selected content.

Interface improvements include the possibility for users to customize their own AI actions to display as Quick Assist fixes in the editor. This feature presents a convenient pop-up menu on the left vertical navigation stripe with commonly used fixes, allowing for customization to align with individual preferences.

Additionally, it is now possible to choose the OpenAI model used in chat sessions and actions right from the AI Positron Assistant view. This functionality provides a very quick and easy way for users to experiment with the different available models.

A variety of new AI actions that are specific to working with DITA XML documents have been implemented, including a Proofread action that helps users identify potential issues in their content regarding logical consistency, grammar, spelling, readability, and comprehension. Furthermore, the new Resolve Comments action enables the AI to change content based on suggestions found within comments and then also removes those comments to save time in the cleanup process.

Other newly implemented actions include the Improve Structure action that instructs the AI to enhance DITA XML documents by adding additional structure or inline elements, and the Add Structured Content action continues the content from a document with additional structured content generated based upon similar content from the current project, which gives the AI more context for formulating the new XML structure.

This release also comes with several additions for the Oxygen XML Web Author version of the plugin, including some of the above mentioned AI-powered actions (e.g. Proofread, Resolve Comments, and Improve Structure), alongside various other user experience enhancements.

Syncro Soft announces the release of Oxygen Content Fusion version 7.0! 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

Syncro Soft, the developer of the Oxygen XML suite of products, is proud to announce the release of Oxygen Content Fusion 7.0, the web-based collaboration platform for content creation!

Oxygen Content Fusion version 7.0 enhances the project support by introducing a personal authoring workspace where you can make changes across multiple files and once you are happy with the results, you can commit them directly to the repository to share them with your team. The dedicated Changes side-view enables you to preview and adjust changes before committing. An XML-aware conflict resolution tool helps you pull changes from the repository, detects conflicts, suggests automated solutions, and also allows merging content manually for more complex scenarios. Along with the powerful editing features for XML documents, the built-in Web Author allows you to edit Markdown files inside the authoring workspace providing syntax preview and toolbar actions to insert common structures.

The workspace feature includes a Publications side-view for easy browsing of a publication's DITA map. Users can open the map in a specialized DITA map editor to modify the structure using toolbar or contextual menu actions. The intuitive interface supports drag and drop, copy/paste, and various other actions for organizing topics. The editor also supports advanced DITA features such as profiling attributes, key definitions, and map references.

Continuous Deployment for the output is now possible as version 7.0 adds support for publishing connectors to enable uploading output to various platforms such as Amazon S3, Netlify, or servers with SFTP protocol. The output can be configured to include an "Edit Online" link in each topic that sends authors to their personal workspace where they can make changes to the source of that topic. When used in conjunction with automated builds, these changes will be live as soon as the build finishes.

For more information about the new release, please see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/content_fusion/whats_new.html

You may also try these new features on our public demo deployment: https://fusion.oxygenxml.com/projects

Version 2.1 also introduces three AI-powered XML refactoring actions that enable users working with DITA XML topics to generate alternate text for images, generate missing short descriptions, and shorten existing short descriptions.

Syncro Soft announces the release of Oxygen AI Positron version 2.0! 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

Syncro Soft is proud to announce version 2.0 of Oxygen AI Positron Assistant, a powerful tool that helps users increase their productivity by providing support for using AI-generated content within the Oxygen tools - Oxygen XML Editor/Author/Developer, Oxygen XML Web Author, and Oxygen Content Fusion.

Version 2.0 adds support for Vision models, allowing the AI to read and interpret images that can be easily added by users to the prompts entered in the Chat window, thus supporting more use cases.

A new action called Generate Documentation Draft is available that can be used to create a draft DITA topic. This feature provides users with control over the draft generation process, allowing them to specify the context for the new topic, instructions, and images. Furthermore, this version also introduces an action that enables users to get a proposal for updating a DITA topic after they update the images referenced in that topic, by having the AI analyze the new images and propose content changes.

Two new variables that can be applied on content with tracked changes were introduced and they can be used to write prompts, enabling users to provide the AI with both the original and modified text and ask the AI engine to analyze the change. Additionally, users now have the ability to filter the list of AI actions and some of the most frequently used actions (e.g. Correct Grammar, Improve Readability, Use Active Voice) are now available as Quick Assist fixes.

The Oxygen XML Enterprise edition license for Oxygen XML Editor, Author, and Developer products now includes access to the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant Enterprise add-on at no extra cost (provided their version is 26.0 or later). Moreover, the Enterprise version of the add-on allows users to connect directly to Anthropic Claude (in addition to the existing options for OpenAI and Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service).

Syncro Soft announces the release of Oxygen Content Fusion version 6.2! 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

Syncro Soft, the developer of the Oxygen XML suite of products, is proud to announce the immediate availability for Oxygen Content Fusion 6.2, the web-based collaboration platform for content creation!

The focus of this release was to redesign the user interface after analyzing the possible workflows, updating the layout to include more information and making the relevant actions at each step easily accessible, as well as updating the embedded visual editor that is based upon the Oxygen XML Web Author technology.

The new layout adjusts the fonts and spacing to include more information on each page, provides intuitive navigation controls and, in some cases, it extends the working area to take advantage of the full width of the page.

Users now have the ability to easily find the tasks they want to focus on by filtering the list of review tasks based on the task name. Task management actions can now be performed directly from the task list, so you can delete a task or mark it as integrated directly from the list of your tasks. The task activity view focuses on the changes made in each user interaction, but also provides actions to compare the selected version of the file with the latest version or open the latest version.

Content Fusion's visual editor was updated to integrate the latest changes implemented in Oxygen XML Web Author 26.1.0. Some of the interesting new features added for the visual editor include the ability for DITA users to easily switch profiling conditions and choose whether to hide the excluded content or show it as grayed out, and the Outline pane also now distinguishes nodes filtered by a DITAVAL file. When Markdown content is pasted within DITA, DocBook, TEI, or XHTML documents, it is automatically converted to the target vocabulary by the smart paste functionality. The Unicode support was improved to better support surrogate characters (e.g. emoji characters) and the text mode is now available in read-only mode for concurrent editing sessions. Additionally, the Split action now automatically inserts required first child elements.

When developers create customizations for the Web Author visual editor, they can now use the new CSS Inspector to easily view the styles applied to the selected element. Additionally, a validation process for uploading frameworks was introduced, ensuring that customized frameworks remain error-free.

To enhance the filtering capabilities, a new loading option is available that allows plugin developers to control whether content excluded by a DITAVAL filter is displayed as grayed out or completely hidden. Furthermore, a new API that enables the addition of a toolbar in a side view empowers developers to better customize the layout of the side-views contributed by their plugins.

Syncro Soft announces the release of version 26.1 of the Oxygen XML suite of products! 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

Syncro Soft is proud to announce the immediate availability of version 26.1 of its industry-leading XML suite of products: Oxygen XML Editor, Author, Developer, Web Author, Publishing Engine, WebHelp, PDF Chemistry, Scripting, and JSON Editor.

The Enterprise edition of Oxygen XML Editor/Author/Developer becomes AI-ready, offering access without the need for an additional subscription to the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant Enterprise add-on which allows direct connection to OpenAI accounts or to the Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service.

Version 26.1 introduces new functionality tailored for DITA users, XSLT/XQuery developers, and JSON/YAML developers, enhancing productivity and versatility across various workflows.

The Oxygen Publishing Engine include float support and new CSS properties, providing users with greater control over their PDF output customization.

Oxygen Web Author brings support for DITA-OT project files to manage the editing context and improved handling of DITAVAL filters.

Additionally, version 26.1 introduces the JSON Schema Validator add-on, facilitating seamless validation of JSON documents against JSON schema. Moreover, the Batch Documents Converter add-on now includes XSD to JSON Schema conversions, expanding its utility.

What's New in Oxygen XML Editor 26.1

Oxygen XML Editor is an incremental release of the industry-leading bundle of tools for content authors, developers, collaborators, and publishers.

Starting with this version, DITA authors can now convert sections to new topic files while preserving the DITA topic type, saving time and effort while ensuring that content remains properly structured. When editing DITA topics, several actions listed as proposals are accessible from the content completion window to help make it easier to insert content references and key references. A new option is also available to control whether or not non-DITA resources are automatically converted to DITA when inserting topic references in the DITA Maps Manager, yet another time saving improvement.

DITA publishers that use the Zendesk Help Center transformation scenario will be happy to know that it now automatically creates and publishes a table of contents and also supports publishing to a subsection. For CSS-based PDF transformations, the new support for prepress print layout ensures that your PDFs are print-ready. The PDF transformation now also automatically fixes some incorrect values for the units of measurement detected in the width/height of images. When running DITA transformations, the real-time progress is constantly updated in the status bar to keep users informed of the current publishing step being processed.

Author mode improvements include the content completion's Split action now automatically adding required first child elements inside the newly created element, removing extra steps from the editing process. Also, the spell checker now detects spelling errors for text inside two consecutive inline elements without a space in between them, helping to keep content error-free by preventing words from being incorrectly merged together.

Some quality of life improvements were also added when using Markdown. The Smart Paste mechanism converts Markdown content that is pasted within XML documents in Author mode into the target vocabulary. Syntax highlights are now displayed for other languages embedded within Markdown, making it easy to identify and edit code snippets in different languages. The DITA preview pane now presents colors and filters for profiling attributes, allowing users to visualize their filtered content with ease.

JSON users now have the power to transform JSON documents using XSLT transformation scenarios, unlocking a myriad of new possibilities. The content completion for JSON offers proposals even when no schema is associated and the JSON Outline view can help increase productivity as it now displays the number of child elements in each array's label and also supports drag and drop. Furthermore, basic text editing support was added for JSON5 documents, and a new JSON Schema Validator add-on is available to provide support for validating JSON documents against JSON schema version 2020-12.

The AI Positron Assistant continues to get impressive updates. A separate Enterprise version of the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant add-on is now available for users who want to connect directly to OpenAI accounts or Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service. New document templates are available to help easily create AI Positron custom actions, unlocking personalized AI solutions. A new AI action is also available to translate content into any desired language. The AI Positron Refactoring action makes it easier than ever to refactor and optimize AI projects and it now works when applied on remote resources. In addition, the chat pane now uses XML syntax highlighting for XML code to make it easier to visualize and understand the AI response.

Other features and improvements were added as well. One such feature is the ability to execute Quick fix proposals in bulk, which allows users to resolve multiple issues at once. The latest engines are available for the Saxon XSLT and XQuery Transformer add-on and XProc 3.0 schemas were added to offer support for content completion and validation for XProc 3.0 files. Unique values are now automatically generated for ID-type attributes that are inserted using the Content Completion Assistant, saving time by eliminating the need to manually add them. Also, schema files and new file templates were added to support editing DocBook 5.2 documents and SVG 1.2 Tiny documents.

This release also implements a variety of performance improvements, security enhancements, API and component updates, and various bug fixes.

For more information, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_editor/whats_new.html

What's New in Oxygen JSON Editor 26.1

The JSON support added in Oxygen XML Editor/Developer is also available in the Oxygen JSON Editor version 26.1. JSON users now have the power to transform JSON documents utilizing XSLT transformation scenarios, access to content completion for JSON even when no schema is associated, JSON Outline view that displays the number of child elements in each array label and also supports drag and drop, basic text editing for JSON5 documents, and the new JSON Schema Validator add-on provides support for validating JSON documents against JSON schema version 2020-12.

Furthermore, this release also sees the implementation of various performance improvements, security enhancements, API and component updates, and bug fixes.

For more information, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/json_editor/whats_new.html

What's New in Oxygen XML Scripting 26.1

The DITA Validate and Check for Completeness script received important performance enhancements, significantly reducing the time it takes for the script to finish when using DITAVAL filters.

For more information, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_scripting/whats_new.html

What's New in Oxygen XML Web Author 26.1

This release has some interesting new features for DITA users, introducing support for DITA-OT project files and providing better handling of DITAVAL filters. The DITA Map pane allows users to specify a DITA-OT project file and choose between the contexts defined within it. Users may also easily switch profiling conditions, and there is the option to hide or present as grayed out content that is excluded by the current filter in the document, DITA Maps pane, and in the Outline pane.

The AI Positron Assistant's feature for previewing changes was improved to allow choosing which of the AI's proposed changes will be incorporated into users' documents. When dragging a node within the Outline pane, the outline tree automatically scrolls along with the movement to make it easier to precisely drop the node where needed. The Unicode support was improved to better support surrogate characters (e.g. emoji characters) and the text mode is available as read-only mode for concurrent editing sessions. When Markdown content is pasted within DITA, DocBook, TEI, or XHTML documents, it is automatically converted to the target vocabulary by the smart paste functionality.

If users develop Web Author customizations, the new CSS Inspector lets them see the styles of the selected element and the process of uploading a framework now includes validation to keep customized frameworks error-free. Server logs are available from the Administration Page to help troubleshoot issues with the Web Author server and some new URL parameters are also available to impose a DITAVAL filter or a DITA-OT project context for filtering the document.

Version 26.1 also brings a variety of performance improvements, security enhancements, API and component updates, and bug fixes.

For more information, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_web_author/whats_new.html

What's New in Oxygen Publishing Engine 26.1

Syncro Soft announces the release of Oxygen AI Positron Assistant version 1.1! 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

Syncro Soft is excited to announce version 1.1 of Oxygen AI Positron Assistant, a powerful tool that helps writers increase their productivity by providing support for using AI-generated content within the Oxygen tools - Oxygen XML Editor/Author/Developer and Oxygen XML Web Author.

Version 1.1 introduces a separate Enterprise version of the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant add-on allowing users to directly connect to their AI models, either using their OpenAI accounts or OpenAI services hosted on Microsoft Azure. This enables them to have full control over the AI service that is used by the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant and to leverage personalized or company-specific AI models.

AI Positron custom actions, which are defined as JSON configuration files, can now be easily created by using new document templates that provide a starting point for action definition.

The translation actions were extended with a new action that enables content translation into any language.

The AI Positron Refactoring action that provides the ability to batch process a set of files using AI now works when applied on remote resources (such as resources located on WebDav servers or from Content Management Systems).

This version also includes various enhancements to improve the user experience. For example, the AI actions are displayed directly in the chat pane prior to a new chat being initiated, making them even more accessible. Additionally, XML syntax highlights have been implemented for XML code within the chat pane, aiding in better visualization and understanding of the XML structure.

To start benefiting from Oxygen AI Positron Assistant, users have the option of a trial period. Additionally, there are several subscription plans to choose from to align with specific usage needs.

Syncro Soft announces the release of Oxygen Content Fusion version 6.1! 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

Syncro Soft, the developer of the Oxygen XML suite of products, is proud to announce the immediate availability for Oxygen Content Fusion 6.1, the web-based collaboration platform for content creation!

Version 6.1 introduces exciting new features, such as the Due Date for review tasks, to ensure effective project management. The due date is visible in various places in the user interface and reviewers will receive email notifications to remind them that they need to finalize their task in time.

Single Sign On support is another much requested feature. This is now available by using OpenID Connect, thus allowing users to authenticate using an organization's SSO system, offering a secure and simplified login procedure. Existing Oxygen Content Fusion users with an account created via LDAP or sign up can use a third party app that implements the OpenID Connect protocol.

With the new Comment-only Review Mode, task owners will now have better control as it allows them to limit the reviewers to only have the ability to add comments without changing the content. This ensures that the document content is always seen in its original form by all reviewers.

The newly introduced Request Re-Review action enables task owners to request additional reviews should the need arise (a typical scenario for utilizing this feature is after addressing comments provided by other collaborators and requiring a review of these new change). This resets the status of the review from Finalized to In Progress for all reviewers and they will also be notified via email that there is a request to review the task again.

Oxygen Content Fusion 6.1 also ensures a superior degree of control over finalized review status even when other collaborators make changes to documents within the task. The Finalized state will change for that particular user only if they make changes to the task documents, or if a task owner either re-opens the task or requests a re-review of the task.

Review status information is explicitly detailed, showing the number of reviewers assigned to the task and their finalized review status. Seamless integration with Oxygen XML Editor/Author is better handled by allowing tasks to be marked as Integrated once complete. The tasks in the Integrated state cannot be edited and are hidden by default, thus enabling you to remain focused only on the tasks that you are actively working on. In the web interface, the hidden integrated tasks can be displayed on demand.

Now, both task owners and reviewers have the ability to add files to a task, either by uploading an existing file or by creating a new file from a template. Moreover, keeping track of tasks has been made easier with a sortable list, and the Task Activity page has been redesigned to provide users with a view of all the changes made by collaborators. Clicking on a file name now opens a comparison view of the document, highlighting all modifications made in a clear manner.

This short video highlights the most important additions to Oxygen Content Fusion 6.1:

Syncro Soft announces the release of Oxygen Feedback version 4.1! 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

Syncro Soft, the developer of the Oxygen XML suite of products, is proud to announce the immediate availability of Oxygen Feedback version 4.1 for both Cloud and Enterprise editions!

The main focus of Oxygen Feedback version 4.1 was to streamline the configuration and installation processes by implementing various navigation features and informative messages for the users if any issues arise during the integration process. For instance, users will be presented with warnings and indicators in several places in the interface when a site or version has no page views, typically indicating that the site or version has not been installed. This approach aims to provide users with troubleshooting hints directly within the admin interface.

A newly introduced Technical Support page serves as a valuable resource hub. It includes resources, such as a video demonstration on how to install Oxygen Feedback and relevant documentation topics. Additionally, administrators can effortlessly reach out to the support team for troubleshooting assistance through a dedicated form.

Starting with this version, users now get all the relevant site information at a glance from the new Site Dashboard page, which is acting as the default page for a site. This includes the activity stream, the various versions defined for that site, a chart presenting the status overview for the existing comments, page views, page ratings, and more.

The notification features have also been refined. Messages sent in notification emails for various events have been improved to make the information more clear and consistent.

As usual, version 4.1 of Oxygen Feedback also comes with various important component updates.

Syncro Soft Announces the Release of Oxygen XML Suite Version 26 and Introduces Subscription-Based Product, Oxygen JSON Editor! 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

Syncro Soft is proud to announce the immediate availability of version 26 of its industry-leading XML suite of products: Oxygen XML Editor, Author, Developer, Web Author, Publishing Engine, WebHelp, PDF Chemistry, and Scripting, as well as the launch of its newest product, Oxygen JSON Editor, an affordable subscription-based application designed specifically for editing JSON and JSON Schema documents.

This release introduces the exciting new Oxygen AI Positron Assistant, an add-on that provides a powerful tool to help writers increase their productivity by performing repetitive tasks, reviewing grammar, generating structure and text, or proposing changes to improve readability. It always keeps the writer in control, offering a visual diff comparison to help quickly understand what changed and the ability to continue the chat with the AI to refine the proposals.

There is new functionality available for DITA users, XSLT/XQuery developers, as well as for JSON/YAML developers.

It is now possible to generate comparison results as documents containing change tracking highlights to allow the changes to be rendered visually in the resulting documents, making it easy to review, accept, or reject them. This feature is also available via scripts to enable automation.

Some of our popular add-ons were updated such as Git Client, Batch Documents Converter, and OpenAPI Documentation Generator. As always, this release also provides various important component updates, such as DITA-OT and Saxon, bug fixes, and security enhancements.

Oxygen XML Web Author version 26 provides a preview of the AI Positron Assistant on the Web Author demo server, allowing users to experiment with a variety of AI-powered actions meant to improve their overall productivity. It will be available for Web Author on-premise installations very soon. Web Author also received component updates and improvements related to file comparisons, DITA editing, and security.

What's New in Oxygen XML Editor 26

One of the most anticipated and innovative additions in Oxygen 26 is the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant, an add-on that provides a powerful tool to help writers use AI-generated content to enhance their overall productivity while keeping them in full control of the changes made to the documents, allowing them to see exactly what is modified using the powerful visual XML-aware diff comparison tool provided by Oxygen.

Users benefit from a set of fine-tuned predefined actions that enable them to:

• Generate content such as DITA topics, document fragments, short descriptions, and index terms.
• Improve existing content in terms of grammar, readability, and the use of active voice.
• Get various insights to understand how readable the content is and how it responds to questions.
• Translate to various languages while preserving the XML structure.
• Write better marketing messages with support for generating press releases, marketing posts, or applying marketing frameworks.

Users can define their own custom AI actions or favorite prompts and easily share them with other project members.

Oxygen AI Positron Assistant offers intelligent support to help resolve document validation problems with an innovative variant of a quick-fix called AI-fix that asks the AI engine to find a solution for a validation problem and applies its suggestion.

For complex and repetitive tasks that the AI may not be able to accurately complete without assistance, it is possible to record a set of instructions for the AI to follow and the final result can be saved as a custom AI action or as a favorite prompt.

Furthermore, the AI functionality is made available via two XPath AI functions that enable the use of AI from any language that uses XPath expressions such as XSLT, XQuery, and Schematron. For example, it is possible to create XSLT-based XML refactoring actions that can batch process multiple documents, applying AI functionality on them, or to define Schematron Quick-Fixes that utilize the AI functions.

DITA authors can take advantage of a simplified process of extracting and organizing parts of a document into separate topics with the ability to extract a selection of content into a new DITA topic, better i18n support, and the use of the existing DITAVAL filter files to automatically apply colors and styles to render the content in the editor.

JSON developers can more easily navigate through large documents since the JSON diagram editor now has its own dedicated outline view. When changing a property in the JSON diagram editor, all the references to that property are now automatically updated, saving the user time and effort by eliminating the need to manually update the schema and preventing any inconsistencies or errors. Additionally, if no JSON schema is associated with a JSON document, Oxygen can now learn the document structure by parsing the document internally and using that as an inferred schema to provide content completion and validation.

YAML developers now have full support for creating, editing, and validating YAML documents. They have access to new actions, such as the go to the definition action that allows for easy navigation to the definition of the current property and another action to easily open the associated schema for the YAML document. When creating new YAML documents, the new document wizard now includes a Customize option that enables users to configure the generation of new YAML documents based on a specified JSON Schema, ensuring consistency and adherence to predefined rules.

For XSLT and XQuery users, the built-in Saxon processor used for transformations and debugging was updated to version 12.3. Oxygen's support has been enhanced to handle the latest extension functions supported by Saxon. The Extract Function refactoring action was improved to better handle XPath expressions. Additionally, two new AI-based extension functions (contributed by the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant add-on) that can be used to rephrase content and to perform validation checks on the existing content are available in the content completion for XSLT, XQuery, XPath, and Schematron.

The support to generate comparison results as documents containing change tracking highlights is available for both document and directory comparison tools, allowing the changes to be rendered visually in the resulting documents, making it easy to review, accept, or reject them, or enabling the users to publish them and highlight the modified content. These tools are also available as scripts for those who are interested in automating these processes, using the Oxygen XML Scripting license.

Some of the most popular add-ons were updated. The Git Client add-on now comes with integration of Large File Support (LFS), among many other new additions. The Batch Documents Converter add-on received various improvements when converting OpenAPI to DITA, Word to HTML/DITA, or Confluence to DITA, and the OpenAPI Documentation Generator add-on now has the option to transform the OpenAPI content into DITA output, along with several other enhancements.

Other improvements include enhanced coverage for HTTPS certificate validation in corporate environments by utilizing trusted root certificates from the Windows certificate store, improved syntax highlighting for Markdown documents containing LaTeX equations that allows for more efficient editing and seamless integration of mathematical expressions, and as usual, this release includes several important component updates, bug fixes, and security enhancements.

This short video highlights the most important additions to Oxygen XML Editor version 26: https://youtu.be/fWvqYpGtJmw

Introducing a New Product: Oxygen JSON Editor

JSON developers will be thrilled with the launch of the new Oxygen JSON Editor. This specialized product is designed for editing JSON and JSON Schema documents, as well as other JSON-related technologies. What sets the Oxygen JSON Editor apart is its affordable subscription-based pricing option. Now, developers can access powerful JSON editing capabilities at a reasonable cost, without compromising on quality.

For more information, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/json_editor/whats_new.html

What's New in Oxygen XML Web Author 26

One of the most exciting new features is the preview of the new Oxygen AI Positron Assistant plugin that provides a powerful tool to help writers use AI-generated content, available now on the Web Author demo server ( https://www.oxygenxml.com/oxygen-xml-web-author/app/oxygen.html) and soon to be available for Web Author on-premise installations. The plugin contributes a side pane that offers a variety of AI-powered actions with the goal of improving productivity. Actions are available to provide helpful hints for the next writing steps, enhance the readability of existing content, correct grammar errors, generate index terms, translate content, create marketing-related material, or even restructure parts of a document.

Interface improvements make it easier to insert special characters, users can now edit Mermaid diagrams in the editor, tracked changes are more visible when renaming elements, and static text labels are now translated properly for the Chinese language. The ability to merge changes when comparing two documents is now available to ensure a more accurate and efficient collaboration on documents and users can now trigger comparisons of specific document versions directly from the Version History dialog box.

The Concurrent Editing feature now works with a high availability deployment consisting of two servers to help mitigate the possibility of losing connections, while also providing a higher capacity, as it can accommodate more users.

DITA authors now have multiple convenient ways to edit profiling attributes within the editor or in the Attributes side-pane and it is now much easier to create and insert topic references when editing DITA maps.

The new Oxygen AI Positron Assistant brings chat history, editable entries, user-defined actions, and more! 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

We are thrilled to introduce you to the newest version of the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant add-on!

Version 0.9.3 comes with several exciting features, including a chat history so you can revisit previous chats and continue where you left off, editable user entries in chat to modify conversations and explore different paths, the introduction of user-defined actions, and the possibility to provide project-specific details for more accurate AI responses.

The AI Positron Chat now provides an overall improved experience with the addition of the History drop down toolbar button that allows you to go back to previous conversations and continue them. You can also edit prompts in the chat discussion thread so you can change the conversation and continue from any point if you want to explore a different path. Additionally, the AI response appears incrementally, as soon as the AI starts generating it, and you now have the option to stop the generation of a response early if you do not consider it fit for your needs.

Version 0.9.3 also introduces user-defined AI actions. The same approach used for defining built-in actions can now be used to specify actions on the client side through the usage of a JSON configuration file. It may even be linked to a project, making it simple to share actions with everyone who works on a certain project.

The newest version of the add-on comes with the possibility to provide additional options for an action. To avoid creating too many related actions, it is now possible to specify different facets for an action that the user can choose. This can be best seen in the action that generates short descriptions, as it uses this customization to allow users in choosing different writing styles, such as clear or engaging, as well as setting the number of expected sentences that will be generated.

The Oxygen AI Positron Assistant now enables you to configure a context for all prompts in the AI Positron Assistant Preferences page. This can be set to be project specific and it allows you to pass certain information to all the built-in actions, so that the AI model will generate better and more relevant results, as it becomes more knowledgeable about your context.

It is also worth mentioning that the AI Positron activity messages have been integrated into the AI Chat view for a more streamlined and consolidated user experience, thus making the AI Activity View not needed anymore.

For additional information on the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant, including the installation instructions, you can check out this article on the Oxygen XML Blog: https://blog.oxygenxml.com/topics/ai_positron.html

For an in-depth presentation of the various features and use cases for the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant, you can view the recording of our latest live webinar, AI as a Tool for Technical Content Creation - https://oxygenxml.com/evs2023-7.html

We want to remind you that we plan to frequently release new features and improvements, so please let us know what you think about the current version and stay tuned for exciting new versions of this add-on!

Webinar: AI as a Tool for Technical Content Creation 28 Jun 2023 12:00 AM (last year)

On the 28th of June, we invite you to join us for one of the most anticipated Oxygen XML live events - the AI as a Tool for Technical Content Creation webinar!

In recent months, AI technology has advanced to the point where it is now applicable in a wide range of real-world situations. However, the AI-generated content is not always accurate, making it challenging to introduce this technology to end users. On the other hand, this is precisely why technical writers are an excellent fit for AI since they can serve as mediators between the AI and the end users, using it to boost their productivity while ensuring the content that they deliver is accurate.

Oxygen AI Positron Assistant is a new plugin for the Oxygen XML tools that connects to the Open AI Chat GPT engine, introducing AI technology for supporting technical writing operations. To keep authors in control, the workflows are optimized to include preview of proposed AI changes and the possibility to refine the results. Custom AI interactions are also possible, and you can easily reuse them with support to save them as favorites.

During this 1-hour live webinar, Sorin Carbunaru (senior software developer at Syncro Soft) will:

• Show various use cases for the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant.
• Explore the available actions and show how they can be invoked, refined, and the results previewed in the visual diff to analyze the document changes.
• Demonstrate how you can define your own AI processing actions and mark them as favorites.
• Highlight the tasks best suited for AI technology use.

This is a free event but registration is required. You can register at https://oxygenxml.com/evs2023-7.html

New release of Oxygen AI Positron Assistant brings chat, preview, new actions, and more! 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

We are excited to announce a new release for the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant add-on!

Version 0.9.2 comes with a variety of exciting new features, including chat functionality, the ability to preview changes, AI-based quick fixes, AI-based XPath extension functions, and new AI actions for grammar corrections, content rewriting, and checking how your content responds to specific questions.

The AI Positron Chat side-view provides a better user experience and more control when invoking AI actions, allowing you to see the response and preview its impact on the document using an action that triggers the visual XML-aware comparison. You can also further refine the responses by continuing the discussion with the AI Positron platform in the chat view.

In a chat message, you can use editor variables that expand to the selected content or the entire document. These allow you to define flexible prompts, and the support to save favorites enables you to store and easily reuse the prompts you find useful.

Along with the preview action for the AI responses, you can also use actions to insert the response into your document or copy the response to the system clipboard.

Version 0.9.2 of the add-on improves the existing actions and contributes new AI actions:

• Correct Grammar - Corrects the grammar and spelling of the selected content.
• Use Active Voice - Converts the selected content from passive voice to active voice.
• Generate Questions - Displays possible questions that the selected content or the entire document responds to.
• Answer Questions - Displays AI responses to your questions found in either the selected content or the entire document.

The add-on now also helps you with validation problems. If an error message provides a good description of the identified problem and eventually a hint on how to fix it, which is typically the case with Schematron errors, then you can take advantage of the AI Positron Fix quick-fix action that tries to find a solution to the validation problem. This action can be triggered from the contextual menu for the validation problems that are displayed in the application's Problems list.

The add-on now also contributes two XPath extension functions that can be used from XSLT stylesheets, XQuery scripts, and from Schematron schemas to process content or to perform validation checks on existing content. Custom XML refactoring operations (based on XSLT or XQuery) can also take advantage of these AI functions, so you can apply batch processing on multiple documents.

For additional information on the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant add-on, including the installation instructions, you can check out this article on the Oxygen XML Blog:

Boost your productivity with the new Oxygen AI Positron Assistant plugin! 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

In the recent months, AI technology reached a point where it became useful in many real-life scenarios. However, the AI generated content is not 100% accurate, which makes this technology difficult to deploy directly to end users that expect to only receive correct information. On the other hand, users who understand that AI-generated content is only a starting point, a hint, or a suggestion, and that they are in control of the final form, will experience an increase in productivity because the AI generated content will speed up many of their tasks.

The new Oxygen AI Positron Assistant plugin provides the bridge between AI and Oxygen users, helping them access AI-enabled tools to speed up content creation.

The plugin contributes helper actions that can be used to generate content:

• You can start typing a phrase and use the Continue writing action to get a suggestion for continuing the phrase.
• You can write instructions for content that you want to be generated and use the powerful and flexible Follow instructions action to add the generated content in the document.

A group of translation actions will try to preserve the XML markup structure while translating the content to French, German, Japanese, or English.

To obtain overview information, you can use an action to summarize the selected content or to get readability suggestions.

DITA Topic Tools actions allow you to perform DITA-aware tasks, such as:

• Automatically create the short description for a topic, summarizing its content.
• Generate index terms in the prolog section of a topic by analyzing the topic content and extracting relevant terms.
• Turn a phrase that enumerates some options into a list with the Itemize action.
• Flatten a list into content that enumerates the options from the list with the Join Items action.
• Generate a new DITA topic from a title or a short description by expanding the content.
• Replace content with a version that improves its readability.

The Oxygen AI Positron Assistant plugin contributes its actions to the main menu, contextual menu, and in the AI Positron Assistant view. When invoking an action, you can monitor its progress and see the results in the AI Positron Activity view.

To enable the AI features, you need to connect the plugin to the Oxygen AI Positron service platform that now uses the Open AI API to access models like Chat GPT, GPT-4, etc. The initial release of the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant plugin is currently in an experimental phase, enabling users to perform up to 250 actions per month, but we expect to provide subscription options in the near future. We anticipate releasing new features and updates often, so please share your feedback about the current version and stay tuned for exciting new versions of this plugin.

Get ready to mark your calendars because the Oxygen XML live event series is making a comeback! Next Wednesday, on the 5th of April, don't miss out on the chance to attend our first webinar of spring - we're talking about the DITA Project Management, Validation, and Translation in a Docs as Code Environment webinar!

Docs as Code> is a philosophy according to which you should write documentation using the same tools and workflows that software developers use to write code. But it's not so much about the tools, as it is about the workflows and practices involved, such as continuous integration or version control.

Next week, join Sorin Carbunaru (senior software developer at Syncro Soft) as he will look at such a setup using open-source tools and standards that include:

• DITA, as the plain text format we'll use, because it fits the profile and brings additional benefits to the mix: semantics, content reuse, publishing options.
• Storage and version control using Git (trunk-based development).
• Project validation in continuous integration pipelines.
• Translation workflows based on Fluenta:
  • Creating and sharing a Fluenta configuration
  • Sending the DITA project to the translation service provider as XLIFF.
  • Generating the translated version of the DITA project once the XLIFF returns from translation.

This is a free event but registration is required. You can register at https://oxygenxml.com/evs2023-4.html

Syncro Soft announces the release of version 25.1 of the Oxygen XML suite of products, as well as version 3.0 of the Oxygen Feedback comment management platform! 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

Syncro Soft, the developer of the Oxygen XML suite of products, is proud to announce the immediate availability of version 25.1 of its industry-leading XML suite of products: Oxygen XML Editor, Author, Developer, Web Author, Publishing Engine, WebHelp, PDF Chemistry, and Scripting, as well as version 3.0 of the Oxygen Feedback comment management platform.

Some of the highlights of this release include various productivity improvements for DITA authors and new possibilities for DITA publishers who produce either CSS-based PDF or WebHelp output. JSON schema designers can look forward to more functionality to help them in Design mode, as well as upgrades to some of the JSON tools, and support for editing JSON Lines documents. YAML developers will be happy to see that the YAML editing support was bolstered to a level similar to Oxygen's JSON support. Many of Oxygen's popular add-ons were updated with new options, visual improvements, performance enhancements, and ease-of-use features. The scripting community now has access to some ready-to-use GitHub project templates and GitHub actions that allow users to automate scripts and some of the existing scripts were improved, while new ones were added. This release also provides various important component updates, bug fixes, and security enhancements.

Oxygen XML Web Author, the cutting-edge web-based XML authoring tool, comes with even more improvements and updates. This release brings you updates for the comparison tool and image maps, new plugins are available for adding support for CALS tables in custom frameworks, rendering LaTeX equations, and providing client-side evaluation of XPath expressions. Various other enhancements were implemented as well.

One of the major additions in the latest version of Oxygen Feedback is the Content Indexing and Search feature, which enables you to utilize Oxygen Feedback as an external search engine for your published Oxygen WebHelp Responsive output.

What's new in Oxygen XML Editor 25.1

Oxygen XML Editor version 25.1 is a minor release of the industry-leading bundle of tools for content authors, developers, collaborators, and publishers. This release offers both enhancements to existing functionality and some brand new features that were requested by the community.

For DITA authors, when working with DITA-OT projects that define multiple output configurations (called contexts), it is easier to select the current context used to see how the DITA content looks like in that configuration using the re-designed interface. It facilitates the context selection with improved grouping and filtering options. Starting with DITA 1.3, it is possible to specify filters for a branch of a DITA map through a functionality called branch filtering. Oxygen's advanced DITA map validation and completeness check now factors in branch filtering. DITA 1.3 also introduced the concept of key scopes, enabling you to specify different sets of key definitions for different map branches. Oxygen's DITA Reusable Components view has a new filtering option to show keys with the closest relative key scope to the current editing location, and key references are validated taking the key scope into account. The DITA Map Metrics Report that contains useful statistics for the current DITA map was redesigned to allow easier navigation to its various categories. Performance was improved when editing large DITA maps and the Change or remove profiling attribute value refactoring action also updates DITAVAL filter files.

DITA publishers who produce CSS-based PDF output have the possibility of displaying line numbers or visual markers for whitespace characters in code blocks, making code snippets easier to read in the output. The error reporting was improved when publishing DITA-OT Project files. For example, the transformation error messages displayed in the Results pane contain the ID of the deliverable. You can also control the behavior of footnotes using a new transformation parameter that when set to yes, causes footnotes that are referenced multiple times throughout a publication to be cloned and placed at the bottom of the page for each occurrence instead of subsequent references pointing back to the original footnote. For WebHelp publishers, this release added new parameters for disabling the generation of index terms and excluding topic IDs from context-sensitive help, a new extension point can also be used to help you fine-tune the XSLT transformation that generates the mapping for context-sensitive help, and the JQuery library that comes bundled with WebHelp is accessible in the browser's global context enabling developers to use it.

The innovative JSON Schema Design mode received further enhancements. A new action was added to flatten the entire hierarchy of JSON schemas, the Extract Definition type actions work on multiple selections of components, and the functionality of search actions was extended to enable them to be used on the root schema component. The XSD to JSON Schema conversion tool and the JSON Schema Documentation Generator were both upgraded to fix various issues and enhance performance. Also, basic editing support was added for JSON Lines documents, and JSON property names are now displayed after ending brackets to make the code more readable when editing JSON documents in Text mode.

YAML developers have access to an Outline view that displays the list of all the components of the document in a hierarchical (tree-like) representation and can be used to navigate to a specific part, or to move or delete components. Content completion assistance was implemented to help you edit YAML documents by offering proposals for inserting YAML structures that are valid at the current editing location. Various actions (e.g. Toggle Line Comments, Copy JSON Pointer, and Copy XPath) were also implemented to bring the YAML editing support to a level similar to Oxygen's JSON support.

For XSLT and XQuery users, a new version of the Saxon XSLT and XQuery Transformer add-on is now available for Saxon 12 and the Saxon 11 version of the add-on was also updated to incorporate Saxon 11.5, the latest maintenance release of the Saxon 11 engine. Also, the output of XQuery Trace functions (used in XML refactoring actions for debugging purposes) is presented in the Results view to make the information more readily available.

Many of the most popular add-ons received updates and some interesting new add-ons were implemented. The Git Client add-on offers new options, visual improvements, performance enhancements, and ease-of-use features. Various performance, layout, and rendering improvements were implemented for both the JSON Schema and OpenAPI Documentation Generator tools, and the Batch Documents Converter and Terminology Checker add-ons also received various updates to bolster their functionality. A new Live Tutorials add-on is available to help you create tutorials for learning various editing functions for a certain vocabulary. This add-on also comes bundled with some small tutorials that teach you how to do various DITA editing tasks. Another new add-on is available to help you manage Fluenta DITA translation projects.

Other improvements include basic editing support and syntax highlights for Dockerfile documents, relative references in Framework Extension Script files are automatically resolved, certain XML refactoring operations process faster, and as usual, this release includes various important component updates, bug fixes, and security enhancements.

What's new in Oxygen XML Scripting 25.1

Oxygen XML Scripting version 25.1 offers updates and improvements for some of the scripts that are available to provide a variety of functions that can be scheduled or triggered using a command-line tool on Windows, Linux, or macOS.

The scripting community now has access to some ready-to-use GitHub project templates and GitHub actions that allow users to automate scripts that will be triggered every time you push changes to your repository. For example, there are templates that execute validation and transformation operations, while other templates allow you to compare directories or generate XSD/XSL/WSDL Documentation. The Validation script also received various improvements. For example, framework validation scenarios are automatically detected for OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, and JSON-LD documents.

What's new in Oxygen Feedback 3.0

Version 3.0 of Oxygen Feedback offers exciting new enhancements for the modern comment management platform that provides a simple and efficient way for your community to interact with and offer feedback about your content.

Some of the most significant additions for this version include the new search functionality that allows you to use Oxygen Feedback as an external search engine for your published Oxygen WebHelp Responsive output. The benefit of this functionality is the efficiency of the search process, which is performed on a pre-built index of the HTML content. Oxygen Feedback supports a vast list of languages to be used in the indexing process.

The page ratings component was enhanced to provide the possibility of displaying a survey when a user gives a negative rating for a page. The page ratings statistics page in the administration interface now has columns for both positive and negative votes, and shows the negative survey messages, which are also sent to admins in daily email notifications. You also have the ability to choose whether to display like/dislike icons instead of text responses (e.g. Yes and No) for the page ratings component.

Both Cloud and Enterprise editions also include other productivity improvements, bug fixes, and customization options.

What's new in Oxygen Publishing Engine 25.1

Oxygen Publishing Engine offers the same publishing functionality from Oxygen XML Editor to be used for automation and continuous integration/delivery (CI/CD) tasks. Version 25.1 includes the improvements and additions implemented in Oxygen XML WebHelp and Oxygen PDF Chemistry.

For Oxygen XML WebHelp publishers, this release added a new parameter for excluding topic IDs from context-sensitive help mappings, a new parameter to disable the generation of index terms, a new extension point to help you insert custom XSLT code to modify the XSLT transformation that generates the mapping for context-sensitive help, and the JQuery library that comes bundled with WebHelp is accessible in the browser's global context enabling developers to use it.

Starting with version 25.1 of Oxygen PDF Chemistry, you have the ability to embed videos in your PDF output. It is possible to display line numbers or markers for whitespace characters in code blocks to make your code snippets easier to read. You can also control the behavior of footnotes using a new transformation parameter that when set to yes, causes footnotes that are referenced multiple times throughout a publication to be cloned and placed at the bottom of the page for each occurrence, instead of subsequent references pointing back to the original footnote.

This release also includes various bug fixes and security enhancements.

Syncro Soft announces the release of version 25 of the Oxygen XML suite of products! 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

Syncro Soft, the developer of the Oxygen XML suite of products, is proud to announce the immediate availability of version 25 of its industry-leading XML suite of products: Oxygen XML Editor, Author, Developer, Web Author, Publishing Engine, WebHelp, PDF Chemistry, and Oxygen XML Scripting.

This release provides a platform to work both with XML and XML-related resources by further extending its support to other languages such as JSON and YAML, and being able to treat some file types (Word, Excel, OpenAPI, HTML, Markdown, and others) as DITA-compatible resources and thus reference and use them from DITA maps, similar to how DITA XML topics are referenced and used. Furthermore, users now have the ability to generate Google Structured Data in WebHelp output, and for PDF publishers this version includes support for a variety of useful new CSS properties to customize the CSS-based PDF output.

The JSON support was improved to be at a similar level with the XML support and now includes a visual JSON Schema diagram that comes with search and refactoring actions.

For this release, we also focused our efforts to bring lots of improvements to some of the popular add-ons, such as the Git Client, Batch Documents Converter, and Terminology Checker. A new command-line script can be used to validate files or directories, and as usual, version 25 includes new API entry points, various bug fixes, and component updates.

Oxygen XML Web Author, the cutting-edge web-based XML authoring tool, now features even more improvements and updates. This major release offers enhancements to the general user interface, new DITA authoring features, more customization possibilities, refinements to concurrent editing sessions, and performance tweaks.

Oxygen XML Editor version 25.0 provides numerous new features, updates, and improvements that focus on productivity, performance, efficiency, advanced customization, and simplicity.

This major release introduces a lot of productivity enhancements for DITA authors and publishers. DITA maps are now automatically saved whenever a modification is made in the DITA Maps Manager, various improvements were added to make referenced DITA-compatible resources (Word, Excel, OpenAPI, HTML, Markdown) be treated similar to DITA resources when inserting references, validating DITA maps, or publishing content. Referenced content (topic or map references within DITA maps or content references in topics) can be expanded on demand in the Author visual editing mode, thus increasing the performance when opening files with many references, a new toolbar button in the DITA Maps Manager generates a DITA Metrics report with useful information about the current map, profiling attribute groups can now be defined in a subject scheme map, and new inline actions are available for inserting topic references in DITA maps, setting the note type, and setting the language for code blocks in DITA topics. A button was added for each deliverable in DITA-OT Project files to make it easy to publish that deliverable individually, while a publish button was also added at the top of the document to publish all deliverables specified in the DITA-OT project file. You now have the ability to generate Google Structured Data in WebHelp output, there is also a new Questions and Answers topic type that can be used during the publishing phase for creating the Google Structured Data in the output, and a new action makes it possible to insert an intent question within a DITA topic.

Many of the JSON features and tools were updated to support the latest JSON schema version (2020-12). This includes validating JSON schemas according to the 2020-12 specification, validating JSON or YAML documents against a 2020-12 schema, content completion proposals were updated, new components were added in the Palette view, and you can convert older JSON schemas to the latest version. The JSON Schema Documentation Generator, JSON Instance Generator, and JSON Schema Generator tools were also updated to support the 2022-12 schema version. New search and refactoring actions were also integrated into the JSON Schema Design mode, and containers are now automatically created when dragging components from the Palette view to the JSON Schema Design editor.

The OpenAPI standard is becoming more and more popular and our developers implemented various features and tools to support these types of documents. New document templates are available, you can edit OpenAPI documents in Text or Author mode taking advantage of automatic validation and content completion proposals, while the OpenAPI Documentation Generator and OpenAPI Tester tools were also improved. Additionally, support was also included for editing AsyncAPI, JSON-LD, and OpenAPI test scenario documents.

The built-in Saxon XSLT/XQuery processor was updated to the latest version, 11.4. It brings new functionality and support for new extension functions, as well as other features for XSLT and XQuery transformations and debugging. Other improvements include validation and transformation support for XSLT 4.0 documents, and content completion for XSLT 4.0 elements, attributes, and XPath 4.0 functions.

Add-ons were another focus of this release, with some of the most popular ones receiving lots of updates. Validation features were added in the Git Client, enabling automatic validation of files before performing the commit or push actions. The Batch Documents Converter now has an option for converting OpenAPI specification files encoded in JSON or YAML formats into DITA documents and many of the other types of conversions received various improvements. The Terminology Checker add-on now has the ability to control on which elements a rule is applied using simple XPath expressions, the users can now specify the phase (editing/validation/always) in which incorrect terms are detected, and it is possible for Oxygen add-on to contribute terminology files to be used by the Terminology Checker.

Other features and improvements include editing support and syntax highlighting for PowerShell files, performance was improved for the XPath in Files feature, shortcuts were added for controlling indentation in code blocks, and as usual, this release includes new API entry points, various bug fixes, and component updates.

Oxygen XML Scripting version 25.0 offers updates and improvements for some of the scripts that are available to provide a variety of functions that can be scheduled or triggered using a command-line tool on Windows, Linux, or macOS.

This release added a new Validate Command Line Script that can be used for validating files or directories and generating reports in several formats (text, XML, JSON, or an HTML visual format). Also, the Batch Converter script now includes the option to convert multiple documents from OpenAPI to DITA.

For more information, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_scripting/whats_new.html

Oxygen Publishing Engine version 25.0 encompasses the improvements and additions implemented in Oxygen XML WebHelp and Oxygen PDF Chemistry. This latest release offers a variety of new customization possibilities, transformation parameters, properties, component updates, and bug fixes for both WebHelp and PDF publishers.

For Oxygen XML WebHelp publishers, this release added the ability to generate Google Structured Data in the output and to control the search support. New transformation parameters were included to specify a custom search engine, to change the default search engine, or to replace the main page with a custom page. Customization possibilities were added for displaying a custom title in the search results page or for implementing custom search filters.

Some of the most interesting improvements offered with the latest version of Oxygen PDF Chemistry include support for a variety of new CSS properties to help users control how page, column, or region breaks behave, to force or avoid line breaks at hyphens, to omit the header or footer from tables when a page break occurs, or to display watermark images in the foreground. Also, new transformation parameters can be used to make documents archive-able (PDF/A compliant) or to filter the glossary, and it is now possible to define exception elements for hyphenation dictionaries.

For more information, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/publishing_engine/whats_new.html

Version 25.0.0 of Oxygen XML Web Author continues to bolster the innovative web-based XML authoring tool with more enhancements and additions. This major release offers improvements to the general user interface, new DITA authoring features, more customization possibilities, refinements to concurrent editing sessions, performance tweaks, as well as various bug fixes and component updates.

For awhile now, the DITA support has benefited from an image map editor and that was also extended to define and edit image maps for XHTML documents, and in general, the image map support can now be easily added for any other XML vocabulary.

When editing online, it is possible to lose the connection to the server. Once the connection is restored, the concurrent editing support now resumes seamlessly.

Inserting DITA new topics and topic references in DITA maps is made easier by a new CSS style that provides inline actions to insert topic references when editing DITA map documents in the visual editor.

Other interesting enhancements added in this version of Web Author include actions to select an element, its content, or its parent, actions to insert links were added to the floating toolbar, easier methods for controlling indentation and setting the syntax highlight language in code blocks, and the Outline pane is now also available for DITA maps.

Syncro Soft announces the release of version 24.1 of the Oxygen XML suite of products. 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

Syncro Soft, the developer of the Oxygen XML suite of products, is proud to announce the immediate availability of version 24.1 of its industry-leading XML suite of products: Oxygen XML Editor, Author, Developer, Web Author, Publishing Engine, WebHelp, PDF Chemistry, and Oxygen XML Scripting.

This release includes productivity improvements for DITA authors and publishers, such examples being the possibility to rename referenced non-DITA resources directly in the DITA Maps Manager and performance enhancement when opening DITA maps with all of the referenced content expanded. On the DITA publishing side, the bundled DITA Open Toolkit was updated to the latest version and various updates, improvements, and new customization possibilities were implemented for DITA to WebHelp and CSS-based PDF output.

The innovative JSON Schema Design mode received a lot of improvements with a new Palette view that makes it very easy to build JSON schemas and content completion is now available for in-place editing within the diagram. Some of the existing JSON tools were also enhanced.

Add-ons were a major focus of this release, with many of the most popular ones receiving lots of updates, including the Git Client, Batch Documents Converter, OpenAPI Documentation Generator, OpenAPI Tester, and more, while an interesting new Smart Autocomplete add-on is also available to help writers create content by providing text completions.

With a focus on authoring experience and collaboration, the Oxygen XML Web Author now features a new Search side-view that makes it easier to find and replace content, support for @ mentions, and various security and component updates were also implemented.

Oxygen XML Editor version 24.1 is an incremental release for the industry's most advanced bundle of tools used by technical writers, developers, collaborators, and publishers everywhere. The focus of this release was to expand upon the new features and improvements that were added in version 24.0.

An example of a productivity enhancement for DITA authors is that you can now rename referenced non-DITA resources directly in the DITA Maps Manager and performance was improved when opening DITA maps with all of the referenced content expanded. Meanwhile, on the DITA publishing side, the bundled DITA Open Toolkit was updated to the latest version and new transformation parameters make it possible to display media objects with an external link and to have glossary entries sorted and grouped.

The innovative JSON Schema Design mode that was recently introduced in the previous version received a lot of further enhancements. You can now move and re-order components within the diagram, a new Palette view makes it very easy to build JSON schemas by offering quick access to components that can be dragged and dropped into the diagram, new items were added to the contextual menu for easier access to various actions, and content completion is now available for in-place editing within the diagram.

Some of the existing JSON tools were also enhanced. You can now mark properties to be required when using the JSON Schema Generator tool, the XML to JSON converter tool now offers the possibility of controlling how empty elements are converted, and the JSON Schema Documentation generator tool now presents diagrams in the generated documentation for components from referenced files and you can choose to include hyperlinks that navigate to the particular component.

Add-ons were a major focus of this release, with many of the most popular ones receiving lots of updates.

The Git Client add-on continued to be enhanced with the addition of a revision graph within the History view, various actions were added while the toolbar was simplified to display the most common actions, performance was optimized, and some components were updated.

The Batch Documents Converter add-on now includes the possibility of converting content from Atlassian Confluence to DITA, and the DocBook to DITA conversion offers an option to convert all sections into individual DITA topics that are referenced in a new DITA map. It also now provides options for configuring the mappings between elements for certain types of conversions and tables are now handled better when converting Markdown to DITA.

For OpenAPI developers, a new OpenAPI Documentation generator tool is available to easily generate full documentation for OpenAPI components in HTML format and a new OpenAPI Tester is available to inspect OpenAPI request responses and to ensure they work as expected.

This release also marks the introduction of an interesting new Smart Autocomplete add-on that helps writers create content by providing text completions. It contributes a side-view where you can choose between a Built-in or OpenAI engine for generating the proposals for text completion. The Built-in engine analyzes all XML, HTML, or Markdown files in a project and then offers completion proposals when editing text content, while the OpenAI engine uses language models provided by the OpenAI company. Not only does that engine offer text completion proposals, but it also contributes various configurable actions that can be used to transform the selected text in the editor, and it allows you to create your own fine-tuned language models. Some examples of the actions that are available to transform the selected text include grammar corrections, paraphrasing, translating content into other languages, adding markup, creating ordered lists, and many more.

XSLT and XQuery transformations and debugging features were enhanced as the built-in version of Saxon was updated to version 10.6, which is considered to be the most stable and reliable version of Saxon. Also, a new option was added in the Compile XSL Stylesheet for Saxon dialog box that allows you to set the default namespace for unprefixed element names.

Other improvements include the complete removal of the Apache Log4j library to prevent security vulnerabilities associated with it, a new setting to control the initial display mode for tracked changes in the Author visual editing mode, more Markdown rules were added, and as usual, this release includes various important component updates and bug fixes.

For more information, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_editor/whats_new.html

Oxygen XML Scripting provides a variety of functions that can be scheduled or triggered using a command-line tool on Windows, Linux, or macOS. The main focus for version 24.1 was various additions and improvements for the Batch Converter script.

For details, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_scripting/whats_new.html

Oxygen Publishing Engine version 24.1 encompasses all of the improvements and new customization possibilities implemented in Oxygen XML WebHelp and Oxygen PDF Chemistry.

For Oxygen XML WebHelp publishers, this release added some Ant extension points to allow custom tasks to be executed before and after various transformation steps, the context-sensitive help system was optimized, and new transformation parameters were added to help you customize your WebHelp output.

Some examples of the improvements and updates that were added to Oxygen PDF Chemistry include the processor now offering support for absolute positioning for inline elements and the dependency on the Log4j library was removed to help prevent possible security vulnerability issues.

For more information, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/publishing_engine/whats_new.html

Version 24.1.0 of Oxygen XML Web Author is the latest release for the innovative web-based XML authoring tool. This release expands upon the features that were recently added in Version 24.0.0 with further improvements to some of those features, along with several new enhancements.

Webinar: Working with DITA in Oxygen - Migrating to DITA and Refactoring 24 Nov 2021 12:00 AM (3 years ago)

Next Wednesday, November 24th, get ready to continue your journey into the world of DITA, because the Oxygen XML team brings you the live webinar titled Working with DITA in Oxygen - Migrating to DITA and Refactoring!

Syncro Soft announces the release of Version 24 of the Oxygen XML suite of products. 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

Syncro Soft, the developer of the Oxygen XML suite of products, is proud to announce the immediate availability of version 24 of its industry-leading XML suite of products, Oxygen XML Editor, Author, Developer, Web Author, Publishing Engine, WebHelp, PDF Chemistry, and Oxygen XML Scripting.

This new release brings enhancements to the validation support with the DITA validate and check for completeness action being available as a validation unit that can be added to validation scenarios, dynamic publishing for DITA by converting various types of non-DITA resources to DITA, including MS Word, MS Excel, HTML, and Markdown, furthermore, the Enterprise Edition users may now upload and publish DITA to the Zendesk Help Center. The DITA to WebHelp transformation features improved navigation and the PDF Chemistry engine allows controlling the generated PDF security permissions and metadata.

The JSON support is improved constantly to match the support Oxygen offers for XML and version 24 brings a visual diagram editor for JSON helpful for increasing productivity when working with simple JSON Schemas and for visualizing, understanding, and editing complex JSON Schemas.

With a focus on authoring experience and collaboration, the Oxygen XML Web Author now boasts a re-designed interface, a new visual merge tool that enables you to easily resolve conflicts, and the ever popular Concurrent Editing feature has progressed through the BETA testing stages and now comes bundled with Web Author.

More functionality is exposed as part of Oxygen Scripting to enable automation/continuous integration and delivery workflows, including generating diff reports, as well as formatting and indenting XML documents.

Version 24 of Oxygen XML Editor, the XML community's most advanced bundle of tools, introduces lots of exciting new features, updates, productivity enhancements, new customization options, and various performance optimizations.

As the Oxygen team perpetually strives to make the DITA authoring experience more and more efficient and dynamic, DITA users can now configure and run validation scenarios directly from the DITA Maps Manager, or configure validation scenarios that process validation and completeness checks for DITA maps or DITA Open Toolkit projects. With the introduction of new refactoring actions for DITA, it is easier than ever to convert between DITA bookmaps and normal maps, to change or remove profiling attribute values, and to convert direct links to indirect key-based references. To help you get started with your own customizations, a new sample DITA project is available with examples for various framework customizations and best-practices techniques. We also continued to update Oxygen to support the latest DITA 2.0 standard.

On the DITA publishing side, a new transformation scenario (available in the Oxygen Enterprise edition) can be used to upload and publish content to the Zendesk Help Center. Also, it is now possible to dynamically convert various types of non-DITA resources (MS Word, MS Excel, HTML, and Markdown) to DITA during the publishing process. For PDF publishing, the output can be generated in compliance with the PDF/Universal Accessibility standard, copyright information is now automatically processed, and you can restrict the permissions for people using your PDF files, for instance to prevent printing or copying of the PDF content, or even to control the access to the PDF document by requiring a password.

Oxygen's expanding JSON community will be pleased to learn that a visual diagram editor was integrated in a new specialized editor for JSON Schema documents. It offers validation support, content completion, an outline view, and JSON-specific syntax highlighting. The JSON Schema editor's new intuitive, expressive visual schema design mode provides a simple diagram editor that is helpful for visualizing and understanding both simple and complex JSON Schemas. It also offers various editing features to help you modify JSON Schemas directly within the visual design mode.

Some of the general editing productivity improvements include a new Block Tags without Element Names display mode that shows block element tags in a more compact look, the ability to save remote images locally while choosing to update any existing references, and a new XML refactoring operation that can be used to batch accept tracked changes or remove comments and highlights.

When using the Compare Files or Compare Directories command-line scripts (or the similar comparison tools within Oxygen), you now have the ability to save the results of a comparison as an HTML report file that can be viewed in your browser or other application. A new tool was also added in Oxygen for generating an HTML report that contains the results of a directory comparison (for either 2-way or 3-way comparisons).

Add-ons continue to gain popularity and this latest release gives you the possibility to extend Oxygen's functionality even further by introducing numerous updates and improvements to the Git Client, DITA Prolog Updater, and Batch Converter add-ons. A new entry to the Oxygen add-ons library comes in the form of the Writer Helper. It is designed to help technical writers by offering them tips, finding possible similar content that could be reused, and even has an option for reading content out loud using the operating system's narrator.

Some of the other exciting highlights for this version include startup speed performance improvements, some new ways to use editor variables, various API additions, bug fixes, component updates, and much more.

As an Oxygen XML WebHelp publisher, now you have access to new transformation parameters to help style the WebHelp output to suit your specific needs, new expand/collapse buttons for choosing whether or not to display both the topic and publication table of contents, and various other small updates and bug fixes.

Some examples of the improvements and updates that were added to Oxygen PDF Chemistry include the possibility of controlling the security policies for the Chemistry processing, protecting your PDF files using security permissions, for instance to prevent printing or copying of the PDF content, or even to control the access to the PDF document by requiring a password. Some new properties can also be used to control various components in the PDF output (such as the initial settings for how the document is presented, copyright information, or custom metadata).

For more information, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/publishing_engine/whats_new.html

Version 24.0.0 of Oxygen XML Web Author is the latest release for the innovative web-based XML authoring tool. This release introduces a visual merge tool for resolving conflicts when committing to a shared Git repository, a re-design of the interface to offer a more modern and visually appealing look and better blending when Web Author is embedded in another application (such as a CMS), additional protection against XXE vulnerabilities and other security-related improvements, as well as more customization possibilities, performance optimizations, and accessibility enhancements.

Also, the ever popular Concurrent Editing feature has progressed through the BETA testing stages and is now bundled with the Oxygen XML Web Author installers.

Webinar: Creating Frameworks Using an Extension Scrip 21 Apr 2021 12:00 AM (3 years ago)

The last live event of April is getting closer and closer, and we want you there! Join us next Wednesday (April 21) for the “Creating Frameworks Using an Extension Script” webinar.

Oxygen XML Editor version 23.1, Oxygen Feedback version 1.4, and Oxygen Content Fusion version 4.0 are available! 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

Syncro Soft, the developer of the Oxygen XML suite of products, is proud to announce the immediate availability of version 23.1 of its industry-leading XML editing suite of products, Oxygen XML Editor, Author, Developer, Web Author, WebHelp, PDF Chemistry, and Oxygen Publishing Engine, along with version 1.4 of the Oxygen Feedback comment management platform, and version 4.0 of the Oxygen Content Fusion collaboration platform.

This release introduces new features such as concurrent editing and reviewing in Oxygen Content Fusion for streamlining your team's collaboration process, the ability to ignore validation problems using Quick Fix actions to filter errors and warnings, and the new block-level comments functionality in Oxygen Feedback allows your users to add and manage comments contextually at a specific location within the WebHelp page. Also, an updated Oxygen Styles Basket, a free web-based visual tool, helps you fine-tune the CSS file that is used to customize PDF or WebHelp output by picking and mixing pre-defined aspects from galleries.

Version 23.1 of Oxygen XML Editor expands upon the substantial list of features that were recently added in Version 23.0 with further improvements, along with various brand-new enhancements, fixes, and updates.

Dealing with errors and warnings is easier now with the new functionality that allows you to ignore validation problems using Quick Fix actions available in various places where the validation issues are presented.

DITA users benefit from reduced publishing times as the result of an update to the DITA-OT engine to version 3.6, a new refactoring action that generates unique IDs for specified elements, and the DITA to PDF transformation can now display SVG syntax diagrams in the PDF output.

On the development side, the JSON Schema Documentation Generator tool was enhanced with new filtering options, syntax highlights, and options for splitting the output into multiple files or showing the location of the source schema. A specialized YAML editor was added with various editing features including automatic validation, batch validation, syntax highlights, automatic indenting, tools for converting between YAML and JSON, and more. Various updates and improvements were also integrated for users working with XSLT, XQuery, HTML, and CSS.

The SharePoint integration in Oxygen (available in the Enterprise edition only) was redesigned to use the SharePoint REST API v2 to offer authentication using the OAuth protocol. This means that you now have access to a new SharePoint Online type of connection, the various UI components that display the connection details (SharePoint Browser View, Data Source Explorer View, and the Browse for Remote File mechanism in the Open URL dialog box) were redesigned for better consistency and productivity, and quick actions were added in the SharePoint Browser View to make it easier to connect.

Some of the most popular Oxygen add-ons continued to be improved. The Git Client add-on is even more robust with additional actions and options, as well as various UI and performance enhancements. Various new conversion possibilities were added in the Batch Converter add-on (e.g. convert between JSON and YAML or convert multiple Markdown/HTML headings into DITA maps with referenced topics), while the DITA References view add-on and the Oxygen Emmet Plugin received various improvements, and the XSpec Helper view add-on was updated.

Other highlights for this version include improvements to the shortcuts, as they can now be assigned to show side-views contributed by plugins, editor variables can now be resolved in project resources created from a project template, and as always, this release includes new API methods, various bug fixes, and component updates.

For more information, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_editor/whats_new.html

Some functionality available in Oxygen was made available for automation outside of Oxygen (for example, in a continuous integration server) using a separate Oxygen Scripting license.

Starting with version 23.1, you can take advantage of new command-line scripts for comparing files or directories and for executing XML refactoring operations. Also, the Batch Converter script now supports converting between JSON and YAML and various arguments were added to existing scripts to offer even more configuration options.

Version 23.1 of Oxygen Publishing Engine bundles the latest Oxygen PDF Chemistry and Oxygen XML WebHelp together with the DITA-OT used by Oxygen.

Oxygen PDF Chemistry received further enhancements, such as more details about warning and error messages to assist with debugging, additional support was included for some requested CSS properties along with the addition of new parameters to help fine-tune customizations, and the memory footprint was optimized to provide better performance.

Oxygen XML WebHelp offers 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, redesigned renderings of the various types of DITA elements, the ability to add a component in your WebHelp output that links to a PDF resource, and various bug fixes and component updates.

For more information, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/publishing_engine/whats_new.html

Version 1.4 of Oxygen Feedback brings you more exciting features for the modern comment management platform that provides a simple and efficient way for your community to interact and offer feedback. .

The most interesting new feature added in this version is the ability for your users to add and manage comments contextually at a specific location within the output page where block elements appear, without having to scroll to the comments area at bottom of the page. The Block-Level Comments feature forms a flexible review solution when coupled with the Oxygen XML WebHelp and the Oxygen XML Editor/Author integration through the Feedback Comments Manager plugin, which makes it easy to locate the exact source content referenced by a particular comment and streamlines the process of making changes to the source document in response to the provided comments.

Both Cloud and Enterprise editions also include other productivity improvements, bug fixes, and customization options.

For more information about the Oxygen Feedback Cloud edition, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/oxygen_feedback_cloud/whats_new.html

For more information about the Oxygen Feedback Enterprise edition, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/oxygen_feedback_enterprise/whats_new.html

Version 23.1.0 of Oxygen XML Web Author offers some enhancements to features added in the past few major releases of the dynamic web-based XML authoring tool.

Some of the highlights include the Outline Pane that now displays the entire content of a DITA map when it is opened with all of the referenced topics expanded/editable in one document, optimized performance of the visual editor for Concurrent Editing sessions, while on the customization side, CSS variables are now supported and the feature that displays a DITA map with all of the referenced topic content expanded/editable in one document can now be enabled for Bitbucket integrations.

This release also includes new API methods, various bug fixes, and component updates.

For more information, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_web_author/whats_new.html

Version 4.0 of Oxygen Content Fusion, the innovative collaboration tool that is designed to improve any documentation review process, brings you the ability for collaborative teams to edit and review content concurrently. This means that you and your colleagues can edit and review the same document simultaneously in the visual editor and each user can see the changes in real time.

Some of the other interesting new features and improvements added in this version include a new dynamic floating toolbar that gives you easier access to the most common editing and styling actions, the option to change the UI language to English, French, German, Dutch, Japanese, or Chinese, and the preservation of styling when you copy content in the visual editor and paste it into an external application.

Oxygen XML Editor version 23 is available 31 Dec 1969 2:00 PM ()

2020 has certainly been a unique and challenging year for us all, but Syncro Soft, the developer of the Oxygen XML suite of products, persevered and is proud to announce the immediate availability of version 23 of its industry-leading XML editing suite of products, Oxygen XML Editor, Author, Developer, Web Author, WebHelp, PDF Chemistry, and the Oxygen Publishing Engine. In addition, Oxygen Feedback Enterprise, the self-managed edition of the commenting platform, was introduced in the recently released version 1.3 of Oxygen Feedback.

This new release adds game-changing features like concurrent editing in Web Author for unrestricted collaboration, opening DITA maps in Author mode with the content from all referenced topics expanded and editable, the possibility to define or customize how Oxygen supports an XML language using a framework script, and support for editing JSON documents visually in Author mode.

Version 23.0 of Oxygen XML Editor boasts the most substantial and comprehensive set of new features, productivity enhancements, and customization possibilities in the history of the most powerful XML authoring and development tool available on the market.

As always, a lot of attention was focused on the DITA community, to make the authoring experience even more efficient and dynamic. You can expect to discover a new dynamic floating toolbar that provides quicker access to common editing actions, it is now possible to edit submaps directly in the DITA Maps Manager view without needing to open them in their own tab, you can open DITA maps in Author mode with the content from all referenced topics expanded and editable directly in the editor, two new DITA-specific sample project templates are available to help you get more familiar with how to use projects in DITA, and if you want to experiment with the upcoming version of DITA, DITA 2.0 maps and topics can now be created from new document templates.

On the DITA publishing side, you now have the ability to run multiple DITA-OT or Ant transformation scenarios simultaneously to shorten the time it takes to finish transforming large projects, image map numbers and shapes are now visible and clickable in CSS-based PDF output, and a lot of work was done on improving the Oxygen PDF Chemistry processor with various CSS property enhancements.

Some of the general editing productivity enhancements include a new Find Action feature that provides a very quick way to find and trigger actions, it is now possible to copy selected XML content from Author mode to the system clipboard with the XML structure preserved, and you can now easily create a new project from an existing project template.

The already robust JSON support was further enhanced. You can now edit JSON documents in Author mode with access to the various features available for XML documents, a handy tool was added for generating documentation for a JSON Schema file, and numerous improvements were made to the JSON to XML, XML to JSON, and JSON Schema Generator tools.

Add-ons continue to be great for extending the functionality of Oxygen XML Editor since updates and additions can be implemented and made available in-between major Oxygen XML Editor versions. Major updates have been made to the Git Client and Batch Converter add-ons, while some of the new add-ons that have been released include a Terminology Checker, a Translator Helper, and a Vale Validation add-on.

Some of the other exciting highlights for this version include the possibility of creating or customizing a framework through a script file rather than using the GUI, the capability of inserting and editing tables in JATS documents, the diff and merge support in the Eclipse plugin now incorporates the text-based mode that Oxygen users are familiar with, the content completion for XSLT 3.0 stylesheets now automatically inserts required attributes, speed optimization for documents that contain Hebrew characters, various new CSS properties, an option to batch convert HTML to well-formed XML structure, and some of the most popular command line scripts that are used for automating and running various utilities were enhanced, while other new scripts were added.

As always, this release also includes various API additions, bug fixes, and component updates.

Version 23 of the Oxygen XML Web Author continues to bolster the innovative web-based authoring tool. This release brings a lot of exciting new features, productivity enhancements, and customization possibilities to the online XML authoring community.

One of the most requested features that Web Author users have asked for in recent years is concurrent editing. You now have the possibility of sharing your editing session by sending its URL to other collaborators and then you and your colleagues can edit and review the same document simultaneously.

DITA users now have the ability to open a DITA map with all referenced topics expanded and editable in one single document. his allows you to perform rapid changes both at topic and map level, thus speeding-up the edit and review process in the context provided by the entire document. With the review process in mind, you can also download and print a PDF snapshot of the current document.

You can also look forward to a new dynamic floating toolbar that provides quicker access to common editing actions, copy content from Web Author and paste it into an external application with the HTML structure preserved, Bitbucket server is now supported, and enhancements to the Git commit workflow were implemented.

New customization possibilities and features for integrators include an option to implement Single Sign On for a CMIS server by using a service account and some new loading options and URL parameters, for example, to enable in-place editing of the content of referenced topics within a DITA map, to have topic titles resolved and displayed when opening a DITA map, or to enable multiple children of a folded element to remain visible.

As usual, this release also includes various API additions, bug fixes, and component updates.

For more information, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_web_author/whats_new.html

Version 23 of the Oxygen Publishing Engine benefits from all the improvements and new features implemented in Oxygen XML WebHelp and Oxygen PDF Chemistry.

Oxygen XML WebHelp offers the option to link the WebHelp output to your own installation of Oxygen Feedback Enterprise, a self-managed edition specially designed for organizations that prefer to install the software on their own server for better data control.

Webinar: Introducing the Oxygen Publishing Engine for DITA 4 Nov 2020 12:00 AM (4 years ago)

Next Wednesday, on November 4, you are invited to our latest live event - “Introducing the Oxygen Publishing Engine for DITA” webinar!

Have you been looking for a solution that offers support for transforming your DITA content into PDF and WebHelp output? Look no further!

In this webinar, Julien Lacour, software developer at Syncro Soft, will introduce you to the Oxygen Publishing Engine – an automation product that bundles the DITA Open toolkit transformation engine with Oxygen publishing plugins and the PDF Chemistry engine.

This event will represent a crash-course for you to learn what the Oxygen Publishing Engine is by showing you how to install it, configure it in a Continuous Integration system, and then customize your output.

You will be shown its components, various workflows, and also get the chance to see how to transform a DITA map document by learning how to:

• Use the “DITA Map PDF – based on HTML5 & CSS” transformation on an integration server using a publishing template for customizing the output.
• Create a custom CSS stylesheet and use it in your transformation to get that extra level of customization for your specific needs.
• Debug the CSS inside both a web browser and Oxygen to see how to choose the correct selectors and properties used for further styling your content.

This is a free event and you can register at: http://www.oxygenxml.com/evs2020-15.html

Webinar: Explore Web Author beyond technical documentation 28 Oct 2020 12:00 AM (4 years ago)

Our weekly series of live events continues on Wednesday (October 28), with the “Explore Web Author beyond technical documentation” webinar!

Picture a growing company. As it grows, so does the need for standardized procedures. And when new people join the company, they often need to be trained to follow existing procedures. As you can see, a lot of time is spent in training sessions, affecting your overall productivity.

With this in mind, Bogdan Dumitru, software developer at Syncro Soft, will show you how Web Author comes in handy in instances like this one, allowing you to build guided procedures where new employees don't require additional training or validation.

During this webinar, you will learn various ways in which Web Author can be used to enhance your productivity:

• Guiding new writers with the help of Schematron Quick Fixes or easy-to-configure contextual actions, so they can just follow the on-screen instructions.
• Creating forms and sharing them with other users, with the possibility of automated processing.
• Using Web Author to keep track of standardized procedures (e.g. release notes) with the possibility of filtering out the completed tasks and only focusing on the ongoing ones.
• Document collaboration with real-time co-authoring. Instead of having read-only access to a document, now you can work alongside other colleagues.

A brand-new series of webinars is about to begin! On every Wednesday, Oxygen XML will host weekly live events where you can learn great insights from some of the most experienced people in the Tech Comm industry.

The series will start next week, on September 30, 2020, with a webinar presented by Alex Jitianu, development lead and product evangelist at Syncro Soft / Oxygen XML Editor, titled “Improving the Oxygen Authoring Experience Through Custom Actions”.
