[ANN] Oxygen AI Positron Assistant 2.0 adds Vision support and new productivity actions!
by Alin Belu 23 Apr '24

23 Apr '24

Hi everyone, We are proud to announce *version 2.0* of *Oxygen AI Positron Assistant*, the powerful tool that helps users increase their productivity by providing support for using AI-generated content within the Oxygen tools - Oxygen XML Editor/Author/Developer, Oxygen XML Web Author, and Oxygen Content Fusion! Version 2.0 adds support for *Vision* models, allowing the AI to read and interpret images that can be easily added by users to the prompts entered in the Chat window, thus supporting more use cases. A new action called *Generate Documentation Draft* is available that can be used to create a draft DITA topic. This feature provides users with control over the draft generation process, allowing them to specify the context for the new topic, instructions, and images. Furthermore, this version also introduces an action that enables users to get a proposal for updating a DITA topic after they update the images referenced in that topic, by having the AI analyze the new images and propose content changes. Two new variables that can be applied on content with tracked changes were introduced and they can be used to write prompts, enabling users to provide the AI with both the original and modified text and ask the AI engine to analyze the change. Additionally, users now have the ability to filter the list of AI actions and some of the most frequently used actions (e.g. Correct Grammar, Improve Readability, Use Active Voice) are now available as Quick Assist fixes. The Oxygen XML Enterprise edition license for Oxygen XML Editor, Author, and Developer products now includes access to the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant Enterprise add-on at no extra cost (provided their version is 26.0 or later). Moreover, the Enterprise version of the add-on allows users to connect directly to *Anthropic Claude* (in addition to the existing options for OpenAI and Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service). Additionally, from this release forward, Oxygen XML Web Author users also have access to the new Oxygen AI Positron Assistant Enterprise plugin for Web Author. For more information, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/ai_positron_assistant.html As always, thank you for your support and don't forget that feedback is welcome!

Add full stop to list item in Reusable content
by Oudkerk, Judith 22 Apr '24

22 Apr '24

Hi All, I was wondering if there’s a way to add a full stop to the final list item of reusable content. We have a list of items that are reusable, but each manual may use different list items. Therefore, the final list item may differ per manual. Since our Style guide dictates that only the final list item should have a full stop, it’s quite difficult to manage this list. Is there a way to add a full stop to the end of a list item outside the reusable content? I tried putting the list items in both <p> and <lines> elements, but then the full stop is placed on a new line in the output PDF: XML: PDF: [cid:image001.png@01DA949C.8EB2EA30] [cid:image003.png@01DA949C.C9088A00] Do you have any other ideas or suggestions?

[ANN] Oxygen Content Fusion 6.2 is Now Available!
by Alin Belu 09 Apr '24

09 Apr '24

Hello everyone, We are proud to announce the immediate availability for *Oxygen Content Fusion version 6.2*, the web-based collaboration platform for content creation! The focus of this release was to redesign the user interface after analyzing the possible workflows, updating the layout to include more information and making the relevant actions at each step easily accessible, as well as updating the embedded visual editor that is based upon the Oxygen XML Web Author technology. The new layout adjusts the fonts and spacing to include more information on each page, provides intuitive navigation controls and, in some cases, it extends the working area to take advantage of the full width of the page. Users now have the ability to easily find the tasks they want to focus on by filtering the list of review tasks based on the task name. Task management actions can now be performed directly from the task list, so you can delete a task or mark it as integrated directly from the list of your tasks. The task activity view focuses on the changes made in each user interaction, but also provides actions to compare the selected version of the file with the latest version or open the latest version. Content Fusion's visual editor was updated to integrate the latest changes implemented in *Oxygen XML Web Author 26.1.0*. Some of the interesting new features added for the visual editor include the ability for DITA users to easily switch profiling conditions and choose whether to hide the excluded content or show it as grayed out, and the Outline pane also now distinguishes nodes filtered by a DITAVAL file. When Markdown content is pasted within DITA, DocBook, TEI, or XHTML documents, it is automatically converted to the target vocabulary by the smart paste functionality. The Unicode support was improved to better support surrogate characters (e.g. emoji characters) and the text mode is now available in read-only mode for concurrent editing sessions. Additionally, the Split action now automatically inserts required first child elements. When developers create customizations for the Web Author visual editor, they can now use the new CSS Inspector to easily view the styles applied to the selected element. Additionally, a validation process for uploading frameworks was introduced, ensuring that customized frameworks remain error-free. To enhance the filtering capabilities, a new loading option is available that allows plugin developers to control whether content excluded by a DITAVAL filter is displayed as grayed out or completely hidden. Furthermore, a new API that enables the addition of a toolbar in a side view empowers developers to better customize the layout of the side-views contributed by their plugins. For more information, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/content_fusion/whats_new.html We hope you will enjoy our latest release! As always, thank you for your support and don't forget that feedback is welcome! Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor

Re: [oXygen-user] [OXYGEN-14072] Add custom catalog to OT build
by Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu) 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

Hi Scott, As you seem to have a custom DITA OT installation inside your custom framework, why don't you also use it as a default engine for publishing in the Oxygen Preferences->DITA page? Other than that, the DITA OT needs to have a plugin containing extra catalogs (or as a hack you need to manually make changes to the "catalog-dita.xml" inside the DITA OT). There is no possibility to enforce an extra set of XML catalogs from the exterior when starting the DITA OT. At some point I wished there was such a way: https://github.com/dita-ot/dita-ot/issues/1515 Also Jarno Elovirta experimented at some point with a way to install plugins in the DITA OT without the need to change any files in the DITA OT folder itself, this pull request was abandoned though: https://github.com/dita-ot/dita-ot/pull/3152 Regards, Radu Radu Coravu Oxygen XML Editor On 3/27/24 02:08, Scott Prentice wrote: > I've got a custom framework that includes an OT installation that > provides our custom doctype files and custom plugins.

Add custom catalog to OT build
by Scott Prentice 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

I've got a custom framework that includes an OT installation that provides our custom doctype files and custom plugins. Editing topics that use this custom doctype is handled without problems, and using transformation scenarios that are supported by the embedded OT also works fine. But, I'd like to use an OT target that lives in the default Oxygen OT installation. My Oxygen DITA settings still point to the "built-in" OT, so when I set up a transformation scenario for the Oxygen OT target, it starts to work, but fails when it can't find the custom DTD. When I add a pointer from [OXYGEN]/org.dita.base/catalog-dita.xml that references my custom catalog, the build completes fine. BUT .. I don't want to modify the default Oxygen installation files. Some thoughts .. - I don't think there's a param that I can add to the transformation scenario to reference my custom catalog .. is there? - I've tried adding my catalog in Settings > XML > XML Catalog .. but that didn't seem to have any affect. Is there any way to add a custom catalog without editing the default Oxygen files? Currently using Oxygen 25.1. Thanks! ...scott
