Thanks, Stefan! Yeah .. I was hoping to avoid having the users install a plugin .. just install the framework. But I can see that's not going to fly. I'm thinking that the simplest (least effort for the users, and least opportunity for error), is to provide a pre-configured OT installation that they can point to from Preferences. It'll just be .. 1) Install framework, 2) Point to custom OT in Preferences That way if something goes sideways, they haven't messed with the detail Oxygen installation.

Custom DTDs with default Oxygen OT
by Scott Prentice 20 Dec '22

20 Dec '22

I think I know the answer to this question, but want to confirm that I'm not missing something. I've got a set of custom DITA DTDs wrapped up in an OT plugin. If I install this plugin in the OT, I'm able to successfully generate output from content that uses the public IDs defined by those DTDs. However, what I'd like is to include this plugin in an Oxygen framework, and have the custom doctypes honored for OT builds without "installing" the plugin. As it stands, users can install the framework and edit topics and maps using the custom doctypes. It validates fine and all is well, but when they go to do an OT build, it fails to recognize the location for the custom DTDs. I thought there was an OT parameter that let you specify the location of an alternate catalog file, but I'm not seeing that. Was hoping that I could get this to work by just having the users install the framework. It seems like my only options are (after installing the framework) .. - install and integrate the "doctypes" plugin into the default OT in Oxygen - OR .. provide another OT that has the doctypes plugin installed and have the users point to that as a custom DITA-OT in Oxygen Thoughts? Thanks! ...scott

Generate Sample XML Files --> not working correctly
by Roger L Costello 19 Dec '22

19 Dec '22

Hi Folks, Sadly, Tool >> Generate Sample XML Files is not working correctly. It fails to generate lots of elements. For example, in my schema is an element with 11 child elements; the tool generated the element but with no content. It also fails on elements with a type that extends another type. Yes, I know to click on "generate optional elements." Sorry, I cannot share my schema. I am using Oxygen version 25.0 /Roger

by Alin Belu 09 Dec '22

09 Dec '22

Hello everyone, We are excited to announce that *version 5.1.0* of the *Oxygen Batch Documents Converter add-on* is now available! For the newest version of the add-on, our team of developers worked hard to bring you the following list of useful improvements: * Added two new conversions:*YAML to XML* and *XML to YAML*. * *Word to HTML/DITA * - The processing of table captions was improved. The table is now obtained with a caption child in HTML or with a title in DITA. - The width of table columns is now preserved. - The processing of figure captions was also improved. For XHTML, a <figure> element is obtained with a <figcaption> child element. For DITA, a <fig> element is obtained with a <title> child element. - The saving of images was enhanced and the name from the Word internal structure is now preserved. - Fixed an issue where the content was incorrectly merged between two different unordered lists. * Increased the minimum required version of Oxygen to 23.1. For more information on the Oxygen Batch Documents Converter add-on (including the installation steps), you can check the page below: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-editor/topics/batch-converter-addon.html Also, we want to let you know that a new article was published on the Oxygen XML Blog that explains how you can migrate from MS Word to DITA using the Oxygen Batch Documents Converter add-on: https://blog.oxygenxml.com/topics/migrating_word_to_dita_bdc/migrating_word… We hope you will find this add-on useful and as always, your feedback is welcome!
