Hello everyone, We are excited to announce the release of *version 3.0.0* of the *Oxygen Terminology Checker add-on*! The latest version of the add-on brings these useful new features: - Actions to check terminology for multiple selected resources are now available in the DITA Maps Manager and Project view contextual menus.* - Terminology Checker can be used as a Validation Engine when creating Validation Scenarios. This allows a validation scenario applied when editing content or when batch validating resources in the Project view to contain a terminology checking stage.* - The Terminology Checker preferences page can be saved at project level.* - Added a setting (checked by default) to preserve the case (capitalization) when matches are replaced. - Added support for Vale Conditional and Repetition extension points. - Specify the language for which the terms should be applied in an XML terminology file by using the lang attribute on the incorrect-terms root element. - Added in the XML terminology file the possibility to specify a link for each incorrect term. The link can point to a web page where more details are available for the rule and is presented in the Terminology Helper side view and when hovering over the highlighted problems. - The Terminology Helper side view has been redesigned for better interaction. - Avoid presenting problems in read-only elements and in content deleted with Track Changes. - Many bug fixes and small improvements. *Important:* The features marked with "*" are available with Oxygen 24.0 and newer. To install the add-on, follow these instructions: 1. Go to *Help *> *Install new add-ons...* to open an add-on selection dialog box. 2. Select "Default Update Site" (or paste https://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Addons/default/updateSite.xml) in the *Show add-ons from* field. 3. Select the *Terminology Checker* add-on and click *Next*. 4. Select the *I accept all terms of the end user license agreement* option and click *Finish*. 5. Restart the application. We hope you will find this new addition to the Oxygen add-on library useful and as always, your feedback is welcome!

Need to turn over a large project
by leipold 12 Jan '22

12 Jan '22

Hello, Sorry for the intrusion on this forum, but I have a large Oxygen project that I need to turn over to someone with Oxygen experience. This is due to illness. The project is set up and involves the porting of about 8000 pages from very old Wors to Oxygen. More than 50% of porting is complete. Once ported, there are some edits and the bulk of the work will involve rewriting a User Manual. The technical manual needs 50% more porting and the testing manual will be small edits but is complete.I can provide instructions on equations but knowledge of equations is important. Other important skills are tables and images. You need careful attention to detail when porting as Greek characters and other items do not always port well. I may be able to provide a helper for porting if you do not want to take on the whole project.Please contact Monica at monica(a)hoffmanpower.com for additional details.Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone
