Hello, We are pleased to announce the release of Oxygen XML Editor version 21.1. See the complete list of new features here: http://www.oxygenxml.com/#new-version New in Oxygen XML Editor 21.1 ============================= Version 21.1 of the Oxygen XML Editor includes numerous improvements for DITA, CSS-based PDF publishing, JSON, XSLT, translation support in the content completion feature, new editing features and validation support for HTML documents, new APIs, various component updates, and much more. Some examples of improvements added in this version for DITA authoring include the ability to use the Resource Hierarchy/Dependencies view to show all the direct references for DITA resources, a new action (Find Similar Topics) that can be used to quickly find related topics that can be added as related links in the current topic, improvements when pasting table content both inside the table or outside, and when searching for references to images, the generated results will report direct references, instances where key references are used, and links to IDs. For those who use the CSS-based PDF publishing support, the DITA Map to PDF - based on HTML5 .& CSS transformation scenario now has support for a new parameter for generating a mini table of contents at the beginning of each chapter, support was added for numerous languages (including Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Spanish), new parameters can be used to control deep numbering options, and you now have the ability to style topics depending on their role (such as preface, notice, abstract, or copyright). The XML to PDF Transformation with CSS scenario was also improved to include an option to apply CSS stylesheets that are specified in the framework. With the release of version 21.1, Oxygen PDF Chemistry is no longer in a BETA stage. Oxygen PDF Chemistry is included in Oxygen as the default PDF publishing engine and it is also now available as a separate commercial option for those who want to use the publishing engine outside of Oxygen. An HTML framework was added to provide specialized editing features for HTML content, without treating it as XHTML. The brand new HTML editor offers various editing features such as a new document template, folding support, syntax highlighting, and the Content Completion Assistant offers HTML-specific proposals as well as annotations and links to the HTML5 specification. A built-in validator based on the W3C HTML Validator was added and the Outline view handles void elements or elements that are not closed to present the HTML structure properly. JSON users now have a tool for generating sample JSON instances from a JSON schema, the JSON document template now includes several customization options, and JSON Schemas with multiple references are resolved correctly. XSLT developers now have proposals in the content completion for XSLT 3.0 accumulators, better support for text value templates, and transformation improvements. Other features and improvements include translation support for the Content Completion Assistant, a new XPath function that returns the current platform, and nested editor variables are now supported. As always, this release includes numerous other requested features, API additions, bug fixes, and component updates.

mysterious new validation error in ODD-generated Relax NG XML schema
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 16 May '19

16 May '19

Dear oXygen list, I generated a schema in Relax NG XML syntax from a TEI ODD file some weeks ago, on May 6, and the schema behaved as I expected it to. It is posted on my GitHub repo and shared with my project team, and other members of my team worked with it in the past few weeks. I have not edited the schema that my team using since that date. Today one of my team members alerted me that she was seeing a strange error, and I confirmed locally that this is on the Relax NG schema. The error reads: Description Effective boolean value is not defined for a sequence of two or more items starting with a boolean Severity Fatal System ID https://digitalmitford.github.io/DM_documentation/MitfordODD/out/mitfordODD… Main validation file /Users/elisa/Downloads/OVWalksInTheCountryTHECOWSLIPBALL.xml <http://users/elisa/Downloads/OVWalksInTheCountryTHECOWSLIPBALL.xml> Engine name ISO Schematron Start location line: 4996, column: 0 Here is another wrinkle to the problem. In attempting to debug, I generated a new RNG schema from the source ODD to see if that would make a difference. Interestingly, it did, with this effect: On attempting to validate a project XML file, I saw the same message about the effective boolean value, only this time it pointed to a different line in the RNG (not 4996, but 5151). In neither of these cases was the code on these lines at all meaningful or related to the reported ISO Schematron error. Line 4996 is the blank line below after defining the element binaryObject. <define name="teibinaryObject"> <element name="binaryObject"> <text/> <ref name="teiatt.global.attributes"/> <ref name="teiatt.media.attributes"/> <ref name="teiatt.timed.attributes"/> <ref name="teiatt.typed.attributes"/> ... </define> The other line was similarly not about making a boolean test of any kind. I do not understand what could be causing these problems, particularly since the schema was behaving normally two weeks ago. I cannot seem to generate a working schema now due to this strange ISO-Schematron error that keeps flagging different lines of my Relax NG document. Here is a copy of my schema, which I link here from my GitHub repo: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DigitalMitford/DM_documentation/master/Mi… And here is a project XML file associated with that schema: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DigitalMitford/DM_documentation/master/mr… I hope someone on this list can help! I don't think this is a problem with my ODD or with ODD processing, but with something that is firing ISO-Schematron over my RNG schema, which is expressed in XML syntax. The strangeness of this prompted me to write to this list instead of to the TEI.

Classic responsive webhelp
by Yves Barbion 06 May '19

06 May '19

Hi group I use oXygenXML Editor/Author to generate webhelp from my DITA-based content. I see that some customers still like the "classic" (but deprecated) webhelp, because they like to have the table of contents pane and the Search pane on the left when they view the webhelp on their computers. The classic webhelp, however, is not responsive. Is there an easy way (or does Synchro Soft has any plans) to add a "classic but responsive" transformation scenario? Thanks Yves
