IMPORTANT NOTICE

oXygen XML Author is a comprehensive instrument that offers you advanced authoring and editing features. It enables you to view structures, edit script lines or transform scenarios for projects, databases, DITA documents and DocBook files.

The software offers you tools for editing elements, attributes and scenarios for various schemas, in a short time and with little effort. Also, it displays which fields are subjected to change, in order to help preserve the integrity of the file and the relations between elements.

With oXygen XML Author, you can view and analyze and edit schemas contained in XML files: edit script lines in Text mode, view relations in the Grid tab or author frameworks and environments in the dedicated section.

Moreover, the software allows you to change attributes, attribute values and manage full or partial tags, depending on the structure of your document. You can easily manage XML, Java, JavaScript, LDAP or CORBA, thanks to oXygen XML Author's ability to work with Unicode syntax.

The software is suitable for building and editing DITA maps or bookmaps. The DITA authoring function enables you to create a hierarchy of topics, book divisions, references and indexes, in order to generate output XHTML, PDF, HTML or Eclipse help files.

The software can display your DITA map as a tree structure, with expansible nodes, so that you can easily navigate through the structure and make changes or apply transformation scenarios.

oXygen XML Author comes with a series of predefined frameworks for DocBook, DITA, TEI or XHTML files, but you can customize them as you wish, in order to create a suitable work space for a specific type of document. For instance, you may need to define the internal structure of an XML documents collection.

You can easily query an XML document, using an XPath language, and model it as a tree of nodes. The software supports multiple types of Xpath syntax, from Xpath 1.0 to 3.0, which you can select, in order to simplify navigation through the nodes contained in your file.

oXygen XML Author is a multi-functional authoring platform, destined for viewing, editing and querying XML, DITA or XHTML documents. It enables you to access basic frameworks, apply transformation scenarios and easily analyze relations between elements, while offering a user-friendly interface.

What's new in oXygen XML Author 26.1.0.0 Build 2024031806:

Oxygen XML Author version 26.1 is an incremental release of the industry-leading bundle of tools for content authors, developers, collaborators, and publishers. Starting with this release, 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.
Other highlights for this release include various time-saving productivity enhancements for DITA authors, including the ability to convert sections to new topic files and several actions listed as proposals in the content completion window make it easy to insert content references and key references. DITA publishers that use the Zendesk Help Center transformation scenario benefit from it automatically creating a table of contents and it now supports publishing to a subsection. For CSS-based PDF transformations, the new support for prepress processing ensures that your PDFs are print-ready. Additional editing highlights include improvements to the spell checker, the Split action in the Author mode's content completion now automatically adds required first child elements inside the newly created element, and the Smart Paste mechanism converts Markdown content that is pasted within XML documents in Author mode into the appropriate target vocabulary.
