Possible to Put Code Templates in a Framework?
by Eliot Kimber 08 Dec '21

08 Dec '21

We maintain a set of code templates that currently get bake into options.xml that is then distributed via an add-on that sets global options (and nothing else). We maintain our frameworks in git and all authors clone that repo and pull regularly to keep it up to date, making deployment and update easier for writers (avoids having to update add-ons and then restart Oxygen). Reviewing the docs I see that code templates are stored in either the global options or in project options but I didn’t see anything about putting them in frameworks. Is there a way to have code templates in frameworks so that we can deploy new ones without having to update our add-on? Thanks, E. _____________________________________________ Eliot Kimber Sr Staff Content Engineer O: 512 554 9368 M: 512 554 9368 servicenow.com<https://www.servicenow.com> LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/servicenow> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/servicenow> | YouTube<https://www.youtube.com/user/servicenowinc> | Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/servicenow>

[ANN] Webinar: Add-ons You Can Use for Technical Writing (December 8th)
by Alin Belu 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

Hello everyone, The year is quickly coming to an end so let’s meet again one more time,*on December 8th*, for one of the most requested Oxygen live webinars: *Add-ons You Can Use for Technical Writing*! As you all know, Oxygen already offers extensive support for technical authoring but why not try and expand it even further with a variety of easy-to-install add-ons! During our last live event of the year, Alex Jitianu (DITA evangelist and development lead at Syncro Soft) aims to take a deeper look at some of the most popular add-ons available in the Oxygen library and at the types of benefits they provide. Find out how easy it is to install them, as well as learn some ideas for how they can be integrated into your particular authoring workflow. The add-ons that will be featured in this webinar include: * The *Git Client add-on* that contributes a Git client directly in the Oxygen interface. * The *DITA Outgoing References add-on* that contributes a side view where you can see all the outgoing references for the current topic. * The *Terminology Checker add-on* that highlights matched terms in the Author visual editing mode. * The *Translator Helper add-on* that translates content using Google Translate or DeepL Translator to various languages. * The *Writer Helper add-on* that helps with the review process, finding similar content, reads content with an operating system-specific narrator, and provides Oxygen productivity tips. This is a free event but registration is required. You can register at https://oxygenxml.com/evs2021-15.html To stay in touch with us and discover what other events we have planned for you, please make sure to check https://www.oxygenxml.com/events_programme.html Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor
