User Interface Improvements:
IME Support Improved:
The support for Input Methods Editors (IME) for non-Latin languages was improved in terms of stability and performance.
Better Presentation for Surround Edits in the File Comparison Tool
The file comparison tool now identifies surround edits. For example, it recognizes when a piece of text is marked with a <bold> tag and the comparison tool will only highlight the additional tags.
Better Presentation for Surround Edits in the File Com:parison Tool:
Re-order Block Elements With Keyboard Shortcuts
You can now easily move selected block element nodes up or down on the same hierarchical level by using the Alt+UpArrow or Alt+DownArrow keyboard shortcuts.
Re-order Block Elements With Keyboard Shortcuts:
Image Maps Now Support Images Referenced Using Keyrefs:
Image maps can now be edited when the image is referenced using a keyref. Previously, an error message was displayed in this situation.
Image Maps Now Support Images With Keyrefs
Customization and Integration:

Plugin for Rendering LaTeX Equations:
We published an open-source plugin that renders LaTeX equations in DITA topics using the MathJAX library. You can find it here: Web Author LaTeX Plugin.
Plugin for Rendering Latex Equations:
Plugin for Evaluating XPath Expressions Client-side
We published an open-source plugin that evaluates XPath 1.0 expressions in JavaScript using the WGXPath library. You can find it here: XPath Evaluator Plugin.
Sample Docker Image:
An open-source project is available that contains a set of example configuration files that can be used to deploy Web Author in a Docker container. You can access it here: Web Author Docker Configurations.
Improved DITA Key Resolution in File Comparison Tool:
The file comparison tool now has the ability to use different contexts for resolving DITA keys in the two editors. This is accomplished by using new URL parameters, specifically diffDitamap and diff.dita.val.url, which allow you to specify a different DITA Map and DITAVAL file for the right-side editor. This feature is particularly useful when comparing files from different branches of a Git repository that use different sets of DITA keys.
Commit Message Now Displayed in Version History for Generic CMIS Connections
Web Author includes a generic CMIS connector plugin that enables you to connect Web Author to various types of content management platforms (such as Alfresco, SharePoint, or FileNet) and access files stored on those platforms. A Show Version History action is available in a toolbar drop-down menu that opens a window with information about the version and creator, and now also shows the commit message (if one was included) for commits that were processed for the current file.

New in oXygen XML Editor 25.0 Build 2022121306 (Dec 13, 2022)

New in oXygen XML Editor 25.0 Build 2022101006 (Oct 13, 2022)

Oxygen XML Editor version 25.0 provides a platform to work both with XML and XML-related resources by 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.
The XSLT/XQuery support comes with new updates and improvements. The latest Saxon 11 update brings new extension functions and other features for XSLT and XQuery transformations and debugging, and validation and transformation support was added for XSLT 4.0 documents.
The JSON feature was improved by adding support for editing and validating using the latest JSON Schema version 2020-12. All the JSON tools where also updated to support the latest schema version. The visual JSON Schema diagram was now comes with new search and refactoring actions.
Support was added for working with OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON-LD documents. The OpenAPI Documentation tool was redesigned to make it easier to read and understand the OpenAPI specification. The OpenAPI Tester tool was improved and comes with support to run test scenarios.
The performance when working with DITA was improved, as large maps and topics are now opened more quickly by having content references and included content expanded on-demand. The DITA map validation tool automatically validates topics that reference Relax NG schemas and it also detects if a related link points to a topic that is not included in the current map.
DITA publishing benefits from performance improvements, you can generate Google Structured Data in WebHelp output, and you can now generate PDF/A-compliant PDFs in CSS-based PDF output.
The Git Client, Batch Documents Converter, and Terminology Checker add-ons received lots of improvements, a new command-line script can be used to validate files or directories, and as usual, this release includes new API entry points, various bug fixes, and component updates.

New in oXygen XML Editor 23.1 Build 2021030206 (Mar 4, 2021)

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, option offered by Quick Fix actions available in various places where the validation issues are presented.
DITA users benefit of the updated DITA-OT engine, version 3.6, that provides reduced publishing times, a new refactoring action to generate unique IDs for specified elements and the DITA to PDF transformation now has the possibility of displaying SVG syntax diagrams in the PDF output. You can visually customize both the PDF and the web help HTML output using Oxygen Styles Basket, a free web-based visual tool that helps you fine-tune the CSS that is used by Oxygen PDF Chemistry to produce PDF or by Oxygen XML WebHelp to produce web help 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 Enteprise 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 between release cycles. 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, they can now be assigned to show side-views contributed by plugins, editor variables can now be expanded in project resources created as part of a project template, and as always, this release includes new APIs, various bug fixes, and component updates.
The published WebHelp from DITA can be used together with the Oxygen Feedback 1.4 block-level comments functionality to form a flexible review solution, allowing users to add and manage comments contextually at a specific location within the WebHelp page where block elements appear. The Feedback Comments Manager plugin for Oxygen XML Editor/Author integrates also the block-level comments functionality, making it easier to locate the exact content source referenced by a particular comment and streamlines the process of making changes to the source document in response to the provided comments.
Some functionality available in Oxygen was made available for automation outside of Oxygen, for example in a continuous integration server, with 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.

DITA Authoring:
Generate Unique IDs for Specified Elements:
A new refactoring action (Generate IDs) was added for DITA users. It generates unique IDs for elements that are defined in the action's configuration dialog box. The action can be found in the XML Refactoring tool, as well as in the Refactoring submenu within the DITA Maps Manager's contextual menu. This is particularly useful in cases when you need specific DITA elements to have IDs set on them, for example if you want to take advantage of the Block-Level Comments functionality provided by Oxygen Feedback 1.4.
DITA Publishing
Publish RNG-based Topics Faster:
The publishing speed for RNG-based DITA topics has increased considerably. The output is now generated faster, thus decreasing the time it takes to publish your content.
Display SVG Syntax Diagrams in PDF Output:
The svg-syntaxdiagrams DITA-OT plugin is now supported, providing the means for SVG syntax diagrams to be rendered in the PDF output. To learn how to install the plugin and enable this support, see How to Use SVG Syntax Diagrams.
Component Update: DITA Open Toolkit 3.6:
The DITA Open Toolkit version used for publishing DITA content was updated to 3.6. This provides access to parameters that help to reduce the publishing time.
CSS
Oxygen Styles Basket:
The new Oxygen Styles Basket is a handy web-based visual tool that helps you to fine-tune the CSS file that is used to customize your PDF or WebHelp output. You simply pick and mix aspects from galleries to add and adjust the rules in your custom CSS file. Watch this video to see a quick overview of Oxygen Styles Basket.
Support for Custom CSS Properties:
Custom CSS properties (also referred to as CSS variables) are now supported. They are user-defined CSS entities that contain specific values to be stored in one place, and then referenced (re-used) throughout a document.
Validation:
Ignore Validation Problems:
Validation problems that have an ID can now be ignored using new quick fix actions. Some of the details for this feature include:
You can activate/deactivate this feature in a new Ignored Validation Problems preferences page. The options page also includes a table that displays the problems that have been ignored and you have the option to restore a validation problem by removing it from the table.
For all validation problems that have an ID (error code), quick fix actions to ignore a problem in the current document or in all documents are included in the list of quick fix proposals.
The quick fix proposals are available when clicking the light bulb icon for the problem, when hovering over the problem in the editor, and from the context menu in the Results pane.
When you mark validation problems as ignored, they are no longer displayed in the editor pane. They are also marked with a gray color in the vertical stripe and Results view.
Ignore Validation Problems:
Ignore Schematron Validation Problems:
Validation problems that are reported when validating XML with a Schematron schema can also be ignored using the new quick fix actions. For the ignore validation problems proposals to be included in the list of quick fixes, the Schematron assert or report elements must have an ID.
Restore Ignored Validation Problems Directly in the Editor:
Once a validation problem has been ignored (hence, it is added to the Ignored Problems Table), you can hover over its gray marker in the vertical ruler to access a Remove from ignored problems list quick fix link (instead of going to the preferences page to remove it). Clicking this link results in the problem being removed from the list and the problem will no longer be ignored. This quick fix is also available from the contextual menu in the Results pane.
Customize the Color of Fatal Validation Errors:
The Document Validation preferences page now includes an option to customize the color of validation errors that are marked as fatal.
Option Added to Display Validation Problem IDs:
You can select a new option called Include problem ID in description that appears in the settings drop-down menu of the Results view's toolbar to have the problem ID (as provided by the validation engine) shown in the Description column. It can be helpful when trying to debug validation issues.
Hide Ignored Validation Problems:
A new toggle option (Show Ignored Problems) was added to the Settings drop-down menu in the Results view. If you have ignored validation problems, you can deselect this option to hide the ignored problems.
JSON:
Specify the Included Components in JSON Schema Documentation:
The JSON Schema Documentation dialog box now includes options for filtering the generated content. You can choose whether or not to show the following components in the generated documentation: Annotations, Constraints, Source, Location, Used By, Properties, Pattern Properties, and Enumerations.
Specify the Included Components in JSON Schema Documentation
Split Output into Multiple Files for the JSON Schema Documentation Generator:
When generating JSON Schema documentation, there is now an option for splitting the output into multiple files. You can choose between splitting them by component name or by location.
Source Code for JSON Schema Documentation Presented with Syntax Highlights:
The text-based schema source from the generated JSON Schema documentation is now presented with syntax highlights, making it easier to visualize.
JSON Schema Documentation Shows Schema Location:
When generating JSON Schema documentation, you now have the option to show the location of the source schema in the generated documentation. The location contains the relative link to the source schema and the JSON Pointer to the location of the definition or property within the file.
Convert between JSON and YAML:
Two new useful tools are now available for converting JSON to YAML content, and for converting YAML to JSON. They are available in the Tools->JSON Tools sub-menu.
YAML:
YAML Editor:
A specialized YAML editor was added with various editing features, including:
Syntax highlighting
Automatic validation
Batch Validation
Well-formedness checks
Automatic indenting
Common text editing actions
YAML Editor"
Format and Indent (Pretty Print) YAML files:
Support for formatting and indenting YAML documents was added. Some of the formatting actions that are performed include:
Indents the document with the specified indent size.
Removes empty lines and extra spaces between keys and values.
Compacts the string values (e.g. description) and limits them to 80 characters per row.
You can also batch format/indent multiple YAML files by using the Format and Indent Files contextual menu action in the Project view.
Convert between YAML and JSON:
Two new useful tools are now available for converting YAML to JSON, and for converting JSON to YAML. They are available in the Tools->JSON Tools menu. When converting YAML to JSON this tool also handles files that contain multiple YAML documents (separated by three hyphens ---).
XSLT:
Generate XSLT Profiling Reports Using a New Saxon Option
A new option called Enable Profiling was added in the advanced Saxon settings in XSLT transformations and it allows you to gather timed tracing information and generate a user-friendly HTML profiling report.
Generate XSLT Profiling Using Saxon Support
Easily Create an XSLT 3.0 Package (xsl:package)
A new document template called XSLT Package was added in the new document wizard and it can be used for easily creating a new XSLT 3.0 file with xsl:package as the root element. Also, the xsl:package element is one of the proposals in the content completion window for the root element in XSLT 3.0 documents.
Set Static Parameters in Saxon-based XSLT Transformation Scenarios
When transforming an XSLT with Saxon HE/PE/EE, values for static parameters can now be set in the transformation scenario and they are now properly evaluated as XPath.
XQuery:
Generate XQuery Profiling Reports Using a New Saxon Option
A new option called Enable Profiling was added in the advanced Saxon settings in XQuery transformations and it allows you to gather timed tracing information and generate a user-friendly HTML profiling report.
HTML/CSS:
HTML to XML Well-Formed Improvements:
When HTML5 documents are converted to be XML well-formed, entity references that are allowed in the HTML5 specification are converted to the corresponding characters.
Oxygen Emmet Plugin Improved for CSS/LESS:
To help make expanding the Emmet abbreviations easier, now you can use the Ctrl+Space keyboard shortcut in CSS and LESS documents.
SharePoint:
SharePoint Integration Redesigned to Use OAuth Protocol:
Now Oxygen uses the OAuth protocol enabling you to perform the authentication in your web browser. Also, the SharePoint integration was redesigned to use the SharePoint REST API v2 (instead the deprecated SharePoint Web Services).

New in oXygen XML Editor 23.0 Build 2020111805 (Nov 19, 2020)

DITA Authoring:
Floating Toolbar Provides Quicker Access to Common DITA Editing Actions:
When editing DITA documents, you can now quickly invoke context-specific common actions. They are available in a floating toolbar that pops up when you select content. For example, if you select content inside a paragraph element, the floating toolbar includes common styling actions such as Bold, Italic, Underline, Subscript, Superscript, as well as actions for inserting code snippets or various types of links.
Floating Toolbar Provides Quicker Access to Common Editing Actions:
Edit Submaps Directly in the DITA Maps Manager View:
You can now edit submaps (i.e. add topics, change properties, or move topic references) directly in a main map opened in the DITA Maps Manager view. To do this, you need to enable the Allow referenced submaps to be edited option in the DITA -> Maps preferences page.
Edit Submaps Directly in the DITA Maps Manager View:
Edit Referenced Content When Opening a DITA Map With Expanded Topics:
A DITA map opened using the Open Map in Editor with Resolved Topics toolbar button from the DITA Maps Manager is displayed with all of the content from its topic references expanded and editable in-place. This is possible if you enable the Allow referenced content to be edited from Editor->Edit Modes->Author preferences page.
Edit Referenced Content When Opening a DITA Map With Expanded Topics:
Support for Creating DITA 2.0 Maps and Topics:
DITA 2.0 maps and topics can now be created from new document templates. You just need to select the Enable DITA 2.0 editing support from the DITA preferences page
New DITA-Related Project Templates:
To help you get more familiar with how to use projects in DITA, there are two DITA-specific sample project templates available when using the New Project action. The DITA Project With Editing Customizations template exemplifies how DITA editing can be customized for a team of writers using project-level options, while the Sample DITA Project shows best practices for how a DITA project should be organized.
Context Drop-Down in DITA Maps Manager Improved:
The order of the DITA-OT contexts that are presented in the Context drop-down menu on the DITA Maps Manager toolbar was improved. They are now grouped by input DITA map and the most relevant group is presented first (the group that contains the currently open input DITA map).
New Author Actions Added in Contextual Menu:
More author actions are available in the contextual menu when editing a DITA topic. They include the Insert Menu Cascade action in the Insert submenu and the UI Control and Filepath actions in the Style submenu.
Resource-Only Topic References Easier to Spot:
References to resource-only topics that have the preocessing-role attribute set to "resource-only" can now be more easily recognized in the DITA Maps Manager. They are marked with a gray dot in the bottom-right corner of the reference's icon.
Topic Validation Reports Missing IDs in References:
DITA topics often contain direct or indirect references (links or content references). If the topics are located on a local drive and the referenced IDs are missing, Oxygen will report these IDs as errors.
DITA Publishing
Run Multiple Transformations on a Single DITA Map in Parallel:
To help you reduce the amount of time consumed by the publishing phase, Oxygen now offers parallel execution of DITA-OT or Ant-based transformation scenarios. You can access this new option, called Run in parallel (DITA-OT and Ant scenarios), simply by selecting multiple transformation scenarios in the Configure Transformation Scenarios dialog box.
Run Multiple Transformations on a Single DITA Map in Parallel:
DITA-OT Memory Usage Optimized:
The memory usage and speed of the DITA-OT publishing engine were optimized for very large projects that contain lots of folders and topics.
CSS-Based DITA to PDF Publishing:
Image Maps Now Fully Supported:
Image maps are now fully supported in CSS-based PDF output. The shapes that are defined in the image map are rendered in the output as clickable areas within the image and the list of links are presented below the image. Two new parameters (show.image.map.area.numbers and show.image.map.area.shapes) are used to instruct the publishing engine to make the numbers and shapes visible in the output. For more details, see How to Use Image Maps.
DITA <svgref> Element Now Supported:
The DITA <svgref> element is now supported. It can be used to reference a fragment from an XML document that stores multiple SVG graphics.
Sections Now Included in Deep Numbering:
By default, sections are now numbered when you set the args.css.param.numbering parameter to a deep numbering type. It is also possible to exclude sections from the numbering.
Controlling Where Navigation Titles are Displayed:
A new customization parameter, called use.navtitles.in.all.links, now allows you to specify whether a navtitle defined in a topic or a topic reference should be used as the display name for all links or only in the table of contents.
New Parameter for Controlling the Version of the PDF:
The new pdf.version transformation parameter can be used to specify the version of the produced PDF.
CSS PDF Processor Bug Fixes and Improvements:
A lot of work was done on improving the Oxygen PDF Chemistry processor. To see a list of all the bug fixes, component updates, and improvements, see the What's New in Oxygen PDF Chemistry 23.0 webpage.
Visual Editing
Extend a Framework Using a Special Script:
You can now define a new framework through an XML descriptor file instead of using the GUI. In this descriptor, you can choose to extend an existing framework (such as DITA) and make changes to it, or start from scratch.
Insert Tables in JATS Documents:
It is now possible to use the table-related actions on the toolbar (or in the context menu) to insert and edit tables in JATS documents. The actions support inserting and modifying HTML-style tables.
Copy XML Structure to the Clipboard:
You can now select content from an XML document opened in Author mode and invoke a new action called Copy as XML from the Document->Edit menu to copy the corresponding XML structure to the system clipboard.
New Shortcut to Select Element Content in Author Mode:
The Alt + [Mouse Triple-Click] shortcut can be used to easily select strictly the content of an element in the Author visual editing mode.
Diff and Merge Support for Eclipse:
Compare XML Content in Oxygen's Text-based Diff Mode:
The Oxygen diff and merge support in the Eclipse plugin now includes a text-based mode with all the features and options that are available in the Standalone version of Oxygen. Thus, XML-related content can now be compared in either the text-based mode or the visual comparison mode and it is very easy to switch back and forth between the two modes.
Automatically Switch to the Text Comparison Mode When no CSS is Detected:
If a document does not have a CSS associated (either directly in the file or contributed by the framework), the document will be automatically compared in the text-based comparison mode.
Compare DTD Documents:
The diff and merge support in the Oxygen Eclipse plugin now includes the possibility of comparing DTD documents.
DocBook:
Floating Toolbar Provides Quicker Access to Common DocBook Editing Actions:
When editing DocBook documents, you can now quickly invoke context-specific common actions. They are available in a floating toolbar that pops up when you select content. For example, if you select content inside a paragraph element, the floating toolbar includes common styling actions such as Bold, Italic, Underline, Subscript, and Superscript.
CSS:
Support for the border-radius CSS Property:
Now you can round border corners using the border-radius CSS property in both the standalone and Eclipse distributions.
Display a Floating Toolbar Configured with CSS:
The new -oxy-floating-toolbar CSS property can be used to display a floating toolbar when content is selected in Author mode. You can customize this toolbar to provide actions commonly used in a particular context.
HTML/XHTML:
Batch Convert HTML to Well-formed XML:
The HTML to XML Well-formed action is now also available in the context menu of the Project view when you have selected multiple project resources. It converts the selected HTML documents into well-formed XML, by automatically closing unclosed tags, properly quoting attribute values, and more.
Batch Convert HTML to Well-formed XML:
Validate XHTML with W3C Nu HTML Checker:
A new built-in validator engine called W3C XHTML Validator, based upon the W3C Nu HTML Checker, can now be used to validate XHTML documents in Oxygen. More information about this validator engine is available in the user guide.
Add-ons:
Oxygen provides access to a variety of add-ons that extend the functionality of the application.
Terminology Checker:
A new add-on is available that provides experimental support for a terminology checking tool. Once the add-on is installed, you can create a terminology file with a set of rules for each term (or sequence of characters) you want flagged. After referencing the custom file, Oxygen will automatically highlight matched terms in Author mode and offer some contextual menu actions for replacing the highlighted content.
The terminology checker was also updated with more features such as support for regular expression matches, replacements with XML content, and various severity levels for the matches. A small set of Vale rules implemented in Yaml is also supported. For more details, go to https://github.com/oxygenxml/oxygen-terminology-checker-plugin.
Terminology Checker:
Git Client Improvements:
Various improvements were made to the Git Client add-on since the last major release:
The Git Client now contributes a new side-view, called the Git Branch Manager, which presents all the local and remote branches as a tree. Actions were added to the tree's contextual menu to make it very easy to check out branches, and to create or delete branches.
You can now easily switch between local branches using a drop-down menu from the top-right corner of the Git Staging view or by using the Git Branch Manager.
The JGit component included in the Git Client was updated to version 5.9.0.
Some editor variables are now supported, including: ${git(working_copy_name)}, ${git(working_copy_path)}, ${git(short_branch_name)}, ${git(full_branch_name)}.
You can now undo changes by moving the HEAD of the current branch to the selected commit using the new Reset "[branch_name]" to this commit action.
Various actions and options were added to enhance the Git Client. For example, you can amend the last commit, automatically push changes to the remote repository, compare two revisions of the same file, reset stored credentials, and more options to create a new branch.
For a complete list of updates added in version 2.2.0 of the Git Client, see https://github.com/oxygenxml/oxygen-git-plugin/releases/tag/2.2.0.
For a complete list of updates added in version 2.3.0 of the Git Client, see https://github.com/oxygenxml/oxygen-git-plugin/releases/tag/2.3.0.
Git Client Improvements:
Convert Sections in a Word Document to DITA Topics:
A new option (Create DITA maps from Word documents containing multiple sections) was added for the Batch Converter add-on. When selected, all sections from your Word document marked by titles or headings will be separated into individual DITA topics and their references will then be added in the DITA map.
Translator Helper:
The Translator Helper add-on is now available in Oxygen to provide experimental support to authors working in the localization industry. Once the add-on is installed, you can use Google Translate to create a translation for your XML content into a new language.
Vale Validation for Markdown and HTML Files:
A new add-on, Vale Validation, allows you to run the Vale Linter validation tool over the currently edited Markdown or HTML file. It automatically verifies specific rules against your code or documentation. This is useful for enforcing a style guide or for catching commonly mistaken branding issues.
Scripting:
The all platforms distribution of Oxygen is bundled with a scripts sub-folder that contains scripts for automating and running various utilities from a command line. To run any of these scripts, you are required to purchase a special scripting commercial license.
Validate DITA-OT Project Files:
The DITA Map Validation and Check for Completeness command line script was improved to support validating DITA-OT project files. The DITA-OT project is specified using the -i argument, while the context is specified using the -c argument.
New Command Line Launcher for the DITA Translation Package Builder:
The OxygenDITA Translation Package Builder can now be launched from a command line. It requires a special scripting commercial license. This DITA Translation Package Builder contributes context menu actions that help you build a translation package for DITA files that can be sent to translators. You can also extract the changed files back into your project once you receive the package back from the translators.
New Command Line Launcher for the Batch Converter:
The OxygenBatch Converter tool can now be launched from a command line. It requires a special scripting commercial license. This Batch Converter script helps you to convert files between various formats, such as Word to DITA, HTML to DITA, XML to JSON, Markdown to DocBook, and many more.
New Command Line Launcher for Transformation Scenarios:
It is now possible to run transformation scenarios from a command line interface. The Transform script requires a special scripting commercial license and it allows you to run transformation scenarios.
Other
Quickly Find and Invoke Actions:
Oxygen now includes a Find action feature (available in the Help menu) that provides a very quick way to find actions that are available throughout the application. You can also assign shortcuts for particular actions and you can invoke actions using this feature.
Quickly Find and Invoke Actions:
Create New Projects from a Template:
The New Project action now opens a wizard (similar to the New document wizard) that allows you to create a new project from an existing template. For more details, see Creating a New Project.
Improved Speed When Editing Hebrew Content in Author Mode:
The overall Author mode performance was improved when editing XML documents that contain Hebrew characters.
Profiling Attributes/Condition Text Options Pages Fine-Tuned
The options pages specific to profiling attributes and conditional text were fine-tuned to provide a better control at project level and smoother user interaction. Also, a performance issue was fixed. It involved the project file being continuously modified by Oxygen when the profiling options were temporarily changed.
Content Completion Feature Now Considers Sibling Elements:
A new option (Consider subsequent sibling elements) was added in the Options->Preferences->Editor->Content Completion settings page. When this option is selected (the default behavior), subsequent siblings of the current element are taken into account when using the Content Completion Assistant. For example, in DITA, if you invoke the Content Completion Assistant before an already inserted required title element, it will not offer a proposal to insert a title (since it already exists).
Enable Spell Checking in Processing Instructions:
In the Spell Check preferences page, processing instructions was added to the list of the XML Spell Checking In option. It is disabled by default. Enabling it means that the spell checker will detect spelling errors in XML processing instructions.
Reuse XPath Expressions and Operations When Defining External Actions:
When defining custom external actions, you can now reuse XPath expressions and operations by referencing them using XInclude. For more information, see Creating and Customizing Actions for a Framework.
API:
Call the BatchOperationsListener API When Multiple Referenced Files are Saved:
When a document that contains multiple references to other documents is saved and the referenced content is modified and also saved, the BatchOperationsListener API will get called for each saved document content.
Create Combo Box Form Controls:
The OxygenUIComponentsFactory.createComboBox API can be used to create a combo box similar to those found in various places in the application's interface.
Create Custom URL Choosers:
The newly added OxygenUIComponentsFactory.createInputURLPanelProvider API can be used to create a custom URL chooser component. For example, you can control the label, choose whether or not to display the editor variables button, and more.
Control the Names of DITA Keys:
The newly added DITAAccess.setKeyNameGenerator(DITAKeyNameGenerator) API can be used to control the naming convention for DITA keys that are automatically generated when the Use the file name as the value of the "keys" attribute for topic references option is selected in the DITA->New Topics preferences page.
Edit Referenced Content:
Two new methods were added to the AuthorReferenceResolver API. The hasEditableReference(String, AuthorNode) and saveModifiedReference(AuthorAccess, AuthorReferenceNode) methods can be used to provide the possibility to edit referenced content in a framework extension and save the changes back in the original target.
Add Pseudo-Classes to a Document Before Loading:
The new createAuthorPreloadProcessor() method was added to the ExtensionsBundle API and it allows you to add pseudo-classes to a document before it is loaded.
Preserve Tracked Changes in a Document Fragment:
A new createDocumentFragment(int startOffset, int endOffset, boolean preserveTrackChange) method was added to the AuthorDocumentController API that makes it possible to preserve tracked change information in a document fragment, even if change tracking is disabled in the current document.
Hide Various Parts of an Author Component:
Two new methods (showRangeRuler(boolean) and showValidationStatusBar(boolean) were added to the WSAuthorComponentEditorPage API. They can be used to hide various parts of an Author mode component constructed via the API.
Determine if Keyboard Focus is Inside an Editing Mode:
The hasFocus() method was added to the WSEditorPage API. It can be used to determine if the current editing mode has the keyboard focus.
Get Details About a Fragment of Text:
The getNode() and inSpacePreserve() methods were added to the TextContext API and they can be used to find out more details about an iterated fragment of text.
Obtain Styles for Pseudo-Elements:
The getPseudoElementStyles(AuthorParentNode) method was added to the WSAuthorEditorPageBase API and it is used to retrieve the styles for the :before, :after, and :marker pseudo-elements that correspond to a node.
Match URL Based on its Parameters:
The DocumentTypeAdvancedCustomRuleMatcher.matches(String, String, String, String, String, Attributes, Map<String, String>, Reader) API was added and it allows Oxygen to match a framework configuration for an XML file based on the parameters set in the URL string.

New in oXygen XML Editor 17.1 Build 2016020417 (Feb 6, 2016)

New in oXygen XML Editor 17.1 Build 2015101417 (Oct 25, 2015)

USER INTERFACE:
New Color Themes and User-defined Themes:
New Light and Ultramarine color themes have been added in addition to the existing Classic and Graphite ones. Light is now the default theme for Windows and you can select the desired theme from the Theme drop-down menu found in the Appearance preferences page. You can also use the themes as a starting point for setting your own preferred colors and define your own color themes that you can share with your colleagues.
Breadcrumb Navigation in Text Mode:
A breadcrumb navigation bar is now available at the top of the Text editing mode that presents the hierarchy of elements (from the document root to the currently selected element). It can be used as a helpful tool to navigate to specific ancestor elements and also to understand your location in the document structure.
DITA 1.3 SUPPORT:
While some DITA 1.3 functionality was available in oXygen for more than one year, version 17.1 is a major milestone because we added support for the core DITA 1.3 features (such as key scopes and branch filtering, as well as many others). Thus, oXygen now has the most comprehensive DITA 1.3 support of any tool on the market.
Create and Edit DITA 1.3 Documents:
You can create, edit, and validate DITA 1.3 maps and topics.
Scoped Keys Support:
You can establish key scopes and insert references to keys inside or outside key scopes. oXygen will also takes key scopes into account when it validates and checks for completeness, resolves key and content key references, and publishes.
Branch Filtering Support:
The DITA 1.3 branch filtering mechanism makes it possible to reuse the content of topics multiple times within the same map, each time using different filters.
DITA SUPPORT:
Improved User Experience for Reusing Content:
While there are multiple ways of reusing content in DITA, oXygen provides now a unified interface that allows you to specify what you want to reuse.
Unified Action for Managing Topic References:
Multiple actions were combined into a single operation to make them more efficient. The dialog box for inserting topic references in DITA maps was revamped and reorganized to include various tabs so that you can configure numerous aspects of the references in one place.
Improvements to the DITA Map to PDF WYSIWYG Experimental:
Transformation Scenario
The experimental DITA Map to PDF WYSIWIG transformation scenario allows you to transform DITA maps to a PDF file that is very similar to what you see in the Author visual editing mode. Now the colored highlights set during the review process are presented in the PDF output.
Publish DITA to Microsoft Office Word Format:
If you choose to use the bundled DITA Open Toolkit 2.x distribution, you will be able to publish your DITA content to Microsoft Word OOXML format using this new experimental transformation. The support is based on a plugin contributed by Jarno Elovirta.
Indicator to Show All the DITA Map References to the Current Topic:
When an opened DITA topic is referenced more than once in the map that is currently opened in the DITA Maps Manager view, an indicator will appear in the top right-hand corner of the Author mode editor that shows the number of times the topic is referenced in the map. It includes navigation arrows that allow you to jump to the next or previous reference. This is especially important for DITA 1.3 where the point in the map may change the editing context for a topic, for example if different key scopes are used.
Automatically Contribute New File Templates from a DITA OT plugin:
If you integrate a new DITA-OT plugin in the main DITA Open Toolkit distribution used by oXygen and your plugin contains a folder named template_folders, all file resources found in the sub-folders will be automatically contributed as new file templates.
Experimental Lightweight DITA Support:
If you choose to use the bundled DITA OT 2.x as the main DITA Open Toolkit installation, you will be able to create and edit Lightweight DITA topics and maps.
CSS:
Along with performance improvements the oXygen CSS rendering engine supports new properties such as outline and text-indent, new pseudo-classes such as focus-within and has as well as negative margins and indents.
Optimized CSS Performance:
The performance of CSS stylesheets in oXygen has been optimized. For example, you can now move multiple selections in a large table instantaneously. The performance has also been improved for DITA CSS stylesheets that use pseudo-classes (such as :hover or :focus), and when opening very large documents or opening maps in the editor (particularly maps that have topic contents expanded in-place).
Improvements to the oxy_xpath Function:
When computing the styles for an element inside a reference (XInclude or DITA conref), the CSS oxy_xpath function will have access to the actual content inside the references.
Support for the :focus-within CSS Level 4 Pseudo-Class:
Added support for the :focus-within CSS level 4 pseudo-class selector that allows you to style ancestors of elements that contain the current focus.
Support for the :has CSS Level 4 Pseudo-Class:
Added support for the :has CSS level 4 pseudo-class selector that takes a relative selector as an argument and then evaluates its existence. It can match an element by taking its child elements into account.
Support for the text-indent CSS Property:
Added support for the text-indent CSS property that can be used to create hanging indents. oXygen also supports negative values when using this property.
Support for the 'outline' CSS Property:
Added support for the 'outline' CSS property that allows you to create outlines around visual objects (such as buttons, active form fields, image maps, etc.) to make them stand out.
Support for Negative Margins and Indents:
Added support in CSS that now allows negative margins and indents for block and inline boxes.
WEBHELP:
Google Search and Social Media Widgets Can Be Integrated into WebHelp Output:
You can now integrate a Google Custom Search Engine into your WebHelp output. You can also integrate Google Analytics and some popular social media widgets into your WebHelp output.
Offline Search:
You no longer need to be online to access oXygen WebHelp search features. You can now perform searches in your WebHelp system even when you are in offline mode.
Logical Searches:
The oXygen WebHelp system now supports logical searches that use the following operators: OR, AND, and NOT. When there are two adjacent search terms without an operator, OR is used as the default search operator.
XML QUICK FIXES:
Support for Schematron Quick Fixes in Other Documents:
Support has been added for the Schematron Quick Fixes to be executed on documents other than the current one. You can apply quick fixes for example on content referenced using XInclude or external entities.
Support for User Entries in Schematron Quick Fixes:
The Schematron Quick Fixes now support the element. It allows you to ask the user to specify values that will be used when the quick fix is applied.
Improved Performance for Schematron Quick Fixes:
The performance for Schematron Quick Fixes has been improved so that the operations are generated and executed faster. The XML validation against Schematron also now performs faster when quick fixes are defined.
Quick Fixes Presented in a Tooltip Window:
Proposals for quick fixes to solve validation errors or warnings are now displayed in a tooltip popup window. When hovering over an error or warning, if a quick fix is available for that particular problem, the proposals are presented in a tooltip, along with more details about the error, and you can easily select an available quick fix from this tooltip window. In Author mode, an in-place quick fix drop-down menu is also displayed when hovering over an error or warning. The drop-down menu presents a list of available quick fixes to select from.
XML REFACTORING:
Define Refactoring Actions Using XSLT:
If the predefined XML refactoring operations are not sufficient to help you accomplish a particular task, you can create a custom operation that is specific to your needs. You can now use XSLT stylesheets as an alternative to XQuery Update scripts to define custom operations.
XML Refactoring Actions Available in the Contextual Menu:
The XML Refactoring actions were added in the contextual menu to make them more accessible. Furthermore, they are invoked according to the current context within the editor, making them easier to use. For instance, if you invoke the Rename Element action, the name of the element is pre-configured in the dialog box that appears.
New Parameter Types to Identify Attributes and Elements:
Two additional parameter types were added that allow you to match elements and attributes more easily by using the power of XPath expressions.
SCHEMAS:
Support for XPath/XSLT 3.0 in Schematron Schemas:
Schematron schemas now provide support for XSLT 3.0. You can define the version directly in the Schematron document using the queryBinding attribute or by using an option in the Schematron preferences page.
Support for XML Schema 1.1 Validation from within NVDL Scripts:
You can now validate an XML document with an NVDL schema that contains an XML Schema 1.1 validation step. To enable XML Schema 1.1 validation in NVDL, you need to pass some validation options to the validation engine..

New in oXygen XML Editor 15.1 Build 2013110816 (Dec 11, 2013)

New in oXygen XML Editor 15.0 Build 2013060616 (Jun 10, 2013)

XML Editor 15.0 streamlines the development of web services with major improvements to its WSDL editing support which now features intelligent search and refactoring actions, hierarchy and dependencies views, context-aware editing assistance and support for generating documentation. There are also improvements in working with XML databases and in the validation support.
When authoring XML content, you benefit from the improvements to the reviewing support, allowing you to easily find changes or annotations across all your project files. The power of XML is leveraged by providing built-in transformation from DITA and DocBook to mobile-friendly WebHelp that allows your users to access your content from their mobile devices.
There are many additions to the DITA functionality, including the integration of "The DITA Style Guide" by Tony Self, which provides immediate access to the relevant style guide topic depending on the current editing context.
As usual, keeps you up-to-date and we updated a number of components to better support XSLT, XQuery, XPath, XProc, EPUB, SVN, DocBook, TEI and DITA standards.
WSDL Support:
improves the WSDL support adding many new features. The specialized Outline view presents WSDL and XML Schema components. You can easily insert references to components using the Content Completion Assistant. Searching and refactoring actions help you rename components or find component references or declarations.
WSDL Outline View:
The Outline view is available for the WSDL editor, offering you an overview of all the WSDL and XML Schema components and the possibility to focus on a specific subset using the filter box.
Content Completion:
The Content Completion Assistant offers the list of WSDL and XML Schema components that can be inserted in the current context. You can use it to easily insert references to components or to define new ones.
Searching and Refactoring Actions:
You have a wide range of search and refactoring actions at your disposal to help you organize your code quickly and effectively.
Master Files - Contextual Editing:
WSDL validation, editing (content-completion and Outline view), refactoring and component search operations work by default in the context of the WSDL master files.
Resource Hierarchy / Dependencies View:
The relationship between WSDL resources and schemas can be visualized and understood with the help of the Resource Hierarchy/Dependencies View.
WSDL Documentation:
The WSDL Documentation has been improved to allow you to easily generate full documentation for the WSDL and XML Schema components in HTML format, including comprehensive annotations and cross references.
Mobile-friendly WebHelp:
allows the publishing of DITA and DocBook content to a new mobile-friendly output that is optimized for layout and navigation on mobile devices.
Review:
Search in Reviews:
You can search though comments, insertions, deletions, and highlighted content over all the resources in a project or in the opened DITA Map. You can filter the search to specific authors, annotation type or a time interval.
Changes by Author:
The View Only Changes/Comments by option allows you to select the author whose comments and changes are displayed in the Author mode. This allows you to easily integrate the reviews made by a specific author.
Review Markers:
Review markers can be presented in a vertical stripe in the left side of the editing area, next to the lines containing changes or comments.
Fast Text Searching:
Automatic Indexing:
When you make changes to the files from your project (add, delete, refresh, or save resources) you do not need to re-index all the resources manually, the index will be updated automatically only on the changed files.
Search History:
When you work on something you often search for the same or similar things. The Open/Find Resource view and the Open/Find Resource dialog record the history of your searches thus allowing you to reuse your previous queries.
CMS Integration and Connectivity:
Specialized Dialog to Browse a SharePoint Server:
The Open URL dialog offers a specialized layout for browsing resources stored on a SharePoint server.
DITA Support:
User-defined Root Map:
DITA 1.2 specifies the concept of a root map that defines the editing context, providing the starting point to determine the keys and the subject scheme values. used the current map from the DITA Maps Manager as the root map but in version 15 the root map can be also set to a specific map, thus allowing opening submaps in the DITA Maps Manager while still correctly resolving keys and subject scheme values as they are defined in the selected root map.
Subject Scheme Support:
A Subject Scheme Map allows you to define hierarchical sets of values and to control which values should be allowed for specific attributes. will propose the defined values to the user and the DITA validation will check the values used in your topics against those defined values. The subject scheme values are presented also in the dialog for setting profiling attributes.
DITA Style Guide Integration:
You can quickly access Tony Self's DITA Style Guide using the Style Guide action. This action is available also from the contextual menu, in which case will try to identify the style guide topic that is relevant to the current context. Some automatic checks were also implemented using Schematron to identify issue specified by the style guide. When such an issue is identified then the warning message will also contain a link pointint to the style guide topic that describes the identified issue.
Export DITA Map:
When you work on a project with multiple resources or multiple DITA maps it is difficult to identify all the resources that are used in a specific map. You may want to identify all those resources in order to remove unused resources or in case you want to share your map with someone else. The new export DITA map action allows you to easily obtain all the resources referred from a specified DITA Map.
Enforce Business Rules and QA checks on All Topics from a DITA Map:
The action that validates and checks a DITA Map verifies all the topics referred from a DITA Map. Now you have the option to specify a Schematron schema that can implement your company rules and QA checks and the DITA map validate action will apply that on all the topics.
Copy/Paste to Create Key-based Links and Content References:
You can use the "Paste Special" action to quickly transform the copied content to a link or to a content reference. Now there are additional options to use also the DITA 1.2 keys and transform the copied content also to a key reference or to a content key reference.
Use a Profiling Condition Set in DITA Transformations:
A profiling condition set allows you to define a deliverable, similar to a ditaval file. Now allows you to select a specif
XML Visual Editing:
Smart Quotes:
If you prefer to use smart quotes instead of single or double quotes then offers support to automatically replace single quotes and double quotes with the corresponding smart quotes. The smart quotes symbols can be configured in the preferences.
Filter Entities:
When using a large number of entities it becomes difficult to find the entity that you want to insert by browsing though all the defined entities. In the new version provides a filter that allows you to select a subset of the available entities. This filtering support is available from the Entities view and from the Insert Entities dialog.
Better Image Caching:
To improve performance when using many large images, you have the possibility to specify the maximum width of an image beyond which will scale the image, thus reducing the resources needed to display those images.
DocBook Support:
Promote and Demote Sections:
You can organize the structure of your DocBook documents using the new promote and demote section actions available in the DocBook toolbar and contextual menu.
XML Diff:
Format and Indent Both Files:
To spot differences easily between files that contain long lines, or to ignore some formatting differences, you are able to format and indent both files before comparing them.
CSS Support:
The oxy_getSomeText Function:
Added the possibility to truncate long strings of characters using the oxy_getSomeText function.
Styles Property Support:
Added the possibility to specify styles for the oxy_label() function through the styles property. The values of this property are a set of CSS properties.
Visible Property Support:
Added the possibility to specify whether a Button form control is visible through the visible property.
XML Databases:
eXist Simple Connection Wizard
Configuring a connection to an eXist XML database can be done though a wizard that automatically detects all the libraries needed to access that eXist server, thus you do not need to manually find the correct libraries for your specific eXist server.
Validating Documents:
Post XInclude Processing DTD Validation:
When XML documents using DTDs are assembled using XInclude, the default validation behavior is now to first assemble all documents in a master document and then validate the master document using the referenced DTD.
Validation Phase for Schematron:
A Schematron schema can define multiple validation phases. allows now to set the default phase used for Schematron validation.
Content Completion and Outline:
Content Completion Assistant for JQuery:
If you use JQuery in your JavaScript file will assist by presenting JQuery functions though its content completion support. These proposals show the function documentation as well as the possible parameters.

Improved Outline View Filtering Options:
A new option is available in the Outline view allowing you to find exact matches of the text that you are searching for.
Syncro SVN Client:
Commit to Multiple Repositories:
The SVN Client offers support to commit working copy items across multiple external definitions in one single step. No more overhead to handle external modified items one by one. Even more, for SVN 1.7 working copies, externals from the same repository are committed together, resulting less revisions generated in the repository.
Remove Items from Version Control:
Easily remove items from version control using a dedicated option. You no longer have to take different actions to avoid erasing files from your working copy when needing to remove items only from the repository.
Improved Working Copy Items Deletion:
Any item missing from a working copy can be deleted, including missing directories. The Delete action is more powerful and can help you with removing working copy items that have states raising issues and unusual behaviors.
Improved Commit:
Committing working copy changes has never been easier. The Commit operation was improved to help you when committing new items in the repository (unversioned or added), by automatically collecting their ancestor directories which also need to be versioned. Also, missing directories are now deleted when committing them. Finally, the commit dialog box was redesigned to present items in a working-copy-like style and information more appropriate for this operation.
Improved File Handling on Case-Insensitive File Systems
File renames outside of the SVN client, on case-insensitive f:ile systems, are better handled regarding the Delete and Commit operations. The situations when a file was lost after changing only letter-cases of its name were removed.
Better State Detection and Triage of Working Copy Items:
The states of the working copy items are detected in a more accurate manner. Any type of changes of a working copy item are now presented in the Incoming mode, allowing you to easily spot all sort of changes, including the ones which cannot be committed to the repository.
Easily Locate Files in Your File Manager:
Working copy files can be easily located on your disk directly from the Working Copy view. You don't need to identify the parent directory and search through it.

New in oXygen XML Editor 14.1 Build 2012111217 (Dec 4, 2012)

Version 14.1 of XML Editor makes XML authoring available to everybody, by allowing attributes to be edited directly in the Author view through form like controls and placing actions directly in the document flow. This expands the range of XML documents that can be edited visually from text-centric to data oriented documents.
The built-in frameworks support was improved, especially the DITA support which features better error reporting and a rename/move topic refactoring action.
The XML developers can use XML to start experimenting with the new XML Schema 1.1 standard, while the huge XML files support allows them to edit multi GB documents.
As many partners depend now on XML for their solutions, a lot of effort was put into improving and expanding the API to allow them to develop more integrated oXygen-powered applications.
Form-based Editing in Author:
Edit Attributes Directly in the Author View:
XML attributes can be presented using check boxes, drop downs, text fields, date pickers, etc. directly in the Author editing mode, thus making them easily accessible to all users. This new form based editing functionality allows XML Author to be a solution not only for narrative documents like DITA and DocBook, but practically for any type of XML document that may contain data, narrative content or a mix of them.
Trigger Actions Directly from the Author View:
Specific actions can be embedded in the rendered document allowing the users to easily trigger them directly. This simplifies the user experience as instead of having a complex toolbar to hold all possible actions you can just place them directly in the Author mode, in the appropriate locations. For example, deleting a point of interest from a travel guide can be triggered by a "remove" action placed just below the point of interest.
Edit Profiling Attributes Using Form Controls:
allows you to edit displayed profiling attributes in the Author mode using a pop-up selector form control. This enhances user productivity when working on heavily profiled documents.
Form-based Element Editing:
The new form controls can be used not only for attributes but also to edit XML element values, when these have simple types (no nested elements), for example dates, numbers, boolean values, text, etc.
Improved Author Review Support:
Track Changes-Aware Outline View:
When track changes is enabled, deleted or inserted elements are highlighted both in the editing area and in the Outline view. Deleted elements are rendered with strike-through characters, while inserted elements are underlined.
Compact Display of Callouts:
The reviewing callouts are no longer pushed outside the visible area in case the document you are editing contains wide images or space-preserve text sections. The background of the callout becomes semitransparent allowing you to view and edit the underlying content.
Author CSS Extensions:
Form-based Editing:
To enable the new form-based editing functionality, XML provides two CSS extension functions: oxy_editor and oxy_label.
Support for Cyrillic Characters in the list-style-type CSS Property:
The support for list-style-type CSS property was improved with the addition of the following values: -oxy-lower-cyrillic-ru, -oxy-lower-cyrillic-uk, -oxy-upper-cyrillic-ru, and -oxy-upper-cyrillic-uk.
Support for Specifying Widths to Inline Elements:
Added support for the width property of inline elements making possible to create table-like layouts for various XML structures.
Support for Background Images:
The CSS 2.1 background-image, background-repeat, and background-position properties are supported in XML.
Support for Semitransparent Colors:
Added support for semitransparent colors specified using the CSS3 rgba function. This, together with the background image support, makes it possible to create very attractive user interfaces - check out the new travel guide sample located in the install folder of XML.
Support for Configuring Specific Background and Foreground Tag Colors for Any XML Element:
The -oxy-tags-background-color and -oxy-tags-color CSS properties allow you to control the background and foreground colors for any particular XML element.
DITA:
Refactoring Action to Move or Rename DITA Topics:
You can safely rename or move a topic to a new location using the new DITA-aware refactoring actions. These actions also automatically update all the references to that topic in all the topics and maps that refer it, starting with the current DITA map opened in the DITA Maps Manager view.
In-Place Attributes Editing for DITA Maps:
When a DITA Map is edited in the Author mode, a new alternate CSS is available, allowing you to edit topic reference attributes in-place, using the new form controls support.
Import Profiling Attributes from DITAVAL Files:
XML enables the profiling support when profiling attributes are defined in its options. Now you can import profiling attributes from your existing .ditaval files. You can merge these new profiling attributes with the existing ones, or replace them completely.
Improved Error Reporting:
XML provides a link to a documentation page for errors detected while running a DITA Open Toolkit transformation. The DITA map Validate and Check For Completeness action provides more options, runs up to 5 times faster than before and has more precise localization for the detected errors.
Better Support for Very Large DITA Maps:
The opening time for very large DITA Maps was reduced, this action being about 5 times faster than before.
Support for keyref to Metadata:
When a keyref to metadata defined in the DITA Map is present in a topic, the referenced content is presented in-place as a read-only section.
Upgraded DITA OT to Version 1.6.1:
The DITA Open Toolkit was upgraded to version 1.6.1.
DocBook Visual Editing:
Select or Search to Insert Cross References in DocBook Documents:
The actions for inserting cross references (links or xrefs) now show a dialog which allows you to easily select or search for the target of the link either in the current file or in an included module.
Improved XInclude Insertion Dialog:
The action for inserting an xi:include now shows a preview of each possible target element thus allowing you to see what it will be included by selecting that element.
XML Schema 1.1 Support:
improves the XML Schema 1.1 support, extending most of the XML Schema features to include XML Schema 1.1 capabilities. The XML Schema 1.1 support can be enabled from the "XML / XML Parser / XML Schema" preferences page in the options dialog.

Master Files:
The Master Files support was updated to handle also XML Schema 1.1 schemas.
Huge XML Files Support:
Work with Huge XML Files:
XML provides support for opening and editing huge XML files (multi GByte files). The huge files support is generally limited to simple editing plus some useful actions like Find, Validate on Request, and Spell Checking.
Other:
Multi-monitor Editing Support:
You can drag edited files outside the main application window to expand your working area, allowing you to take full advantage of multiple monitors.
Support for Importing XLSX Documents:
Importing Excel 2007 + (2007, 2010, 2012) documents is now supported.
Import Data from Various Sources:
The support for importing data from text files, MS Excel sheets, HTML files, and databases to XML is now also available in XML Author.

CTRL/CMD + Click Navigation:
By holding down CTRL (CMD on Mac) in the Text editing mode some components become links that you can follow to get to the definition of those components. For example, in an XML document, an element name becomes a link to that element definition in the associated schema or DTD. In an XSL stylesheet, a variable reference becomes a link to that variable definition, and so on.
In-Place Rename:
Refactoring your code is a lot easier with the rename component action that allows you to rename a component and all its occurrences in the current file without showing any dialogs. All the component occurrences are highlighted and changed as you type. provides a default shortcut to quickly trigger this action: Alt+Shift+R (Alt+Cmd+R on Mac).
XQuery 3.0:
The XQuery editor and the new XQuery builder allow you to edit and execute XQuery 3.0 expressions (including schema aware ones). The Saxon 9 XQuery processor is used for execution and validation. The new functions defined in XQuery 3.0 are presented in the content completion assistant.
XPath 3.0:
The XSLT 3.0 and XQuery 3.0 specifications are based on XPath 3.0 so updates its XPath support to cover the new additions in XPath 3.0. The new XPath builder allows you to edit and execute XPath 3.0 expressions.
Master Files:
introduces a new innovative concept called Master Files which simplifies the configuration and development of XML projects. Master Files are the roots of import/include tree of modules. They are defined at project level and are automatically used to determine the context for: validation, editing (content-completion and outliner), refactoring and component search operations. This support is available for XSD, XSL and RNG modules.
XSLT Unit Test:
provides XSLT Unit Test support based on XSpec. You can easily create a test for an XSLT stylesheet using the New -> XSLT Unit Test contextual action in the Project View. This action automatically generates an XSpec stub for the templates and functions from the stylesheet that you want to test. Editing XSpec is assisted with content completion and validation, and a default transformation scenario allows to run the tests, generating as output the test report.
XSLT 3.0:
XSLT 3.0 support is automatically activated for each XSLT stylesheet having the version attribute set to 3.0. provides content completion for XSLT 3.0 stylesheets, support for transformations and XSLT validation, updated Outline view and search and refactoring actions that handle new additions in the XSLT 3.0 standard.
Authoring:
Display Tracked Changes as Callouts:
Along with review comments, the changes can be presented as callout boxes (balloons) next to the editing area, thus making it easy to collaborate on document editing and review. You can control what type of changes are displayed as well as the additional information: changed content, date, time and author. To enable the balloons for tracked changes, use the Callouts options page.
Complete DITA 1.2 Implementation in Relax NG:
The complete set of DITA 1.2 schemas is available in Relax NG and provides full support for creating, authoring and publishing DITA documents based on those Relax NG schemas. The DITA support in Relax NG was contributed back to the DITA community as an open source project: DITA-NG.
XPath Filter for Find/Replace in Author Mode:
The XPath filter which was available only in Text mode is now available in the visual editing (Author) mode.
Preview conref Target Elements:
The insertion of a DITA conref is easier because shows a preview of the target elements using the visual Author mode.
Partial Support for EPS Images:
If the JAI Image I/O Tools libraries are installed in , TIFF preview images embedded in referenced EPS images are rendered in the Author mode. Note that this is an experimental support.
CSS 3 Substring Matching Attribute Selectors:
The Author editing mode supports the CSS 3 "starts-with", "ends-with" and "contains" attribute selectors.
Plugins and Frameworks:
StratML Framework:
Support for Strategy Markup Language Part 1 and Part 2 is default in , offering default schema association based on the document namespace, built-in XML Catalog for mapping remote StratML schema references to local copies, easy creation of new StratML documents from document templates, visual editing in the Author mode and default transformation to HTML.
Increased Framework Portability:
A new editor variable ${framework} that is expanded to the current framework folder allows you to refer to resources like schemas, CSS stylesheets, and so on, in a portable way, that does not depend on the actual framework location.
Localized Frameworks:
A framework provides specific support for an XML vocabulary - this is what uses to provide a default support for DITA, DocBook, TEI, etc. Starting with version 14 the frameworks support internationalization and the main default frameworks were localized in English, German, French, Dutch, Italian and Japanese.
Specific Element Icons:
Many of the default frameworks (DITA, Docbook, TEI, XHTML, XSL and XML Schema) were updated to use the API that allow providing custom icons for elements to provide specific icons, for example to easily distinguish a title, a paragraph, a list, etc. These icons appear in the Outline view and in the content completion list when an element is proposed to be inserted in the document.
Transformation and Validation:
Unified Presentation of Transformation Scenarios:
All transformation scenarios are presented regardless of their storage: the project file, user preferences, or frameworks. You can easily import and export scenarios, and change their storage location.
Associate Multiple Transformation Scenarios:
You can publish to multiple output formats with just one click. For instance, if you associate DITA to PDF and DITA to WebHelp scenarios to a DITA map then the "Apply Transformation" action will perform both transformations.
Unified Presentation of Validation Scenarios:
All validation scenarios are presented regardless of their storage: the project file, user preferences, or frameworks. You can easily import and export scenarios, and change their storage location.
Associate Multiple Validation Scenarios:
You can associate multiple validation scenarios with your documents.
Eclipse Plugin:
Internationalization Support for the Eclipse Plugin:
is available both as a standalone Java application and as an Eclipse plugin. The internationalization support was available only in the standalone version and now it was extended to cover also the Eclipse plugin. By default the Eclipse plugin is localized in the following languages: English, German, French, Dutch, Italian and Japanese.
MathML Editing in the Eclipse Plugin:
MathML equations are rendered in the visual editing (Author) mode. For editing, provides a simple MathML visual editor that presents the rendered equation and the MathML source side by side and synchronizes the caret position in both views to quickly map from the rendered equation to the source and vice-versa.
MarkLogic:
XQuery Validation:
The XQuery modules can be validated using the MarkLogic server thus you can spot possible issues quickly, without the need to actually execute that XQuery script. The validation support requires MarkLogic 5 or a later version.
Remote Editing:
It is possible to edit a module opened directly from the MarkLogic connection, without the need to go through a file or WebDAV peer connection.
Other:
Find and Replace in Files Improvements:
The Find and Replace in files support was updated to support text on multiple lines. Before applying a replace operation, you can also preview the changes that are about to be performed and you can also limit the scope of those changes to specific files.
Search Results Highlighted in Editors:
The results of the XPath, Find, Search References/Declarations operations are highlighted in the editor and marked in the side bar, in both Author and Text mode.
Show/Hide Element Names in Outline View:
You are able to control the visibility of the element names in the Outline View. Hiding element names allows you to focus more on the document content.
Improved JavaScript/JSON Support:
The JavaScript editing experience has been improved with the addition of Content Completion Assistant, synchronized Outline View and syntax validation. The Outline View can also be used when editing JSON files.
Browse Database Resources:
In most places where a resource is needed, uses a component that allows to easily identify what resource to open. This component includes now an action that allows browsing database collections to find the resource to open thus making the resources stored in databases easily accessible in many workflows.
