The oxy_video form control can be used to play video files, the oxy_browser form control can be used to render an HTML page or SVG file, and the oxy_audio form control can play audio clips. Implement Custom "Heavy" Form Controls oXygen now provides support for Heavy form controls. This new type of form control allows you to play video and audio resources, and render HTML or SVG resources. You can also implement your own custom form controls based on the new Heavy architecture. Convert Paragraphs to List Items and Change List Item Type When editing DITA, DocBook, XHTML, or TEI documents, you can easily convert selected paragraphs to list items by using the various Insert List Item actions on the toolbar. You can also change selected list items to another type (for example, change an unordered list to an ordered list). Smart Paste Handles Internal Links in Office Documents The Smart Paste feature has been improved to preserve links to other parts of the same document, when pasting content from Office documents into Author mode. Links are converted to cross references for the particular document type that you are working with. Improvements to Paste Strategies in Tables The strategies for the behavior of the paste mechanism when pasting content in table cells has been improved. Now, copied cells are pasted while preserving their initial order and spacing. DITA Support for Video and Audio Media Objects oXygen now includes actions to easily insert video or audio content within DITA topics. The oXygen visual editing Author mode will not only display the media content, but also allow you to play it in-place. On the publishing side, oXygen comes with a DITA-OT plugin that will enable the multimedia content to appear in HTML and PDF output. Embed Video and Audio Media in DITA to WebHelp Output You can insert references to video and audio media resources (such as YouTube videos) in your DITA topics and publish them to WebHelp output. The embedded video and audio objects can be played directly in all HTML5-based outputs, including WebHelp systems. Improve Speed for Computing Topic Titles The amount of time it takes to compute topic titles in the DITA Maps Manager view was reduced as oXygen accesses multiple topics in the same time to extract the title information. New Action for Duplicating Topics There is now a new contextual menu action in the DITA Maps Manager view called Duplicate that creates a copy of the selected topic and insert it as a sibling. It is helpful for quickly creating a new DITA topics that is similar to an existing topic. Lightweight DITA Improvements The Lightweight DITA DTDs were updated to the latest version. Also, you can now use the new Insert Media action to insert references to video or audio resources when editing Lightweight DITA documents. Tracked Changes and Comments Can Be Displayed in PDF Output You now have the ability to display tracked changes and comments in DITA to PDF output. This can be done by simply setting a parameter in the transformation scenario. Validate and Check for Completeness Command Line Tool A new command line tool was added that executes a Validate and Check for Completeness operation on a specified DITA map. The results are displayed in the command console (for example, whether or not the validation was successful, the number of errors or warnings, or you can even specify to display the entire report). The tool requires an oXygen Scripting license. Markdown Editor New Markdown Editor oXygen now includes a built-in Markdown editor that allows you to write and edit documents using Markdown syntax and converts it to HTML or DITA. The specialized multi-pane editor includes a preview panel to help you visualize the final output. The editor includes a variety of helpful actions, automatic validation, syntax highlighting to make it easier to read and write, and specialized syntax rules that combine popular features from several specifications. Create Markdown Documents Directly from DITA Maps Manager The Markdown editing support includes unique features that allow you to create Markdown documents directly in DITA maps (from the DITA Maps Manager) and to convert Markdown documents to DITA topics. Content Completion Improved Precision for Content Completion oXygen allows you to set a configuration file to control the content completion proposals for elements presented in the Content Completion Assistant. Now, you can identify more precisely the elements you want to control, by being able to check attributes and attribute values on those elements. Improved Content Completion for XPath and XQuery The Content Completion Assistant for XPath and XQuery was updated to take into account the latest additions in XPath 3.0 and XQuery 3.0. For example, new functions are now offered though content completion, such as empty-sequence, document-node, item, comment, namespace-node, and processing-instruction - just to name a few. File Comparison Tool More Accurate Second Level Comparisons on XML Nodes When using the XML Fast and XML Accurate algorithms for two-way or three-way comparisons, the second level comparison is now processed using a syntax-aware comparison that splits the files or fragments into sequences of tokens and computes the differences between them. This results in a more accurate second level comparison. Improvements to the Format and Indent Action The Format and Indent action in the File Comparison tool now works on more file types. You can now use the action on the following types of files: XQuery, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, RNC, XSD, RNG, NVDL, XML, ANT, DITAMap, WSDL, SVG, Schematron, XProc, XSL, and HTML. As usual, oXygen also added many new API and component updates for this release. Please let us know if you encounter any problems with this beta build. All feedback is welcome!

Fw: Error SVN
by O'Donnell, Dan 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

Hi, We are having problems with the attached error. It seems to be a version of the one discussed here: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/18/ug-author/topics/address-family-n… This is occurring on a new install of Windows10 and a new 17.1 download. We tried what was recommended in the post, creating a new custom_commons.vmoptions file in the Oxygen17 folder in Program Files. The file didn't exist so we created a new one. The file contained only one line java.net.preferIPv4Stack=true or -java.net.preferIPv4Stack=true (we tried it both ways). We then restarted Oxygen and checked the system properties (nothing there). We also tried rebooting the whole computer and then checking the Oxygen system properties. We also tried not checking but just trying to checkout the repository. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -dan [U of Lethbridge Logo] Daniel Paul O'Donnell Professor of English and Associate Member of the University Library Academic Staff Editor, Digital Studies/Le champ num<http://digitalstudies.org/>érique <http://digitalstudies.org/> Vice President, Force 11<http://force11.org> Department of English and University Library University of Lethbridge 4401 University Drive West Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Canada Tel. +1 (403) 329-2377 http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell @danielPaulOD ________________________________ From: Greta Vardazaryan <greta(a)editors.journalincubator.org> Sent: October 5, 2016 17:54 To: O'Donnell, Dan Subject: Error SVN Hi Dan, Please find attached the screenshot of the error.

join 2 table cells
by Ulrike Borinski 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

Good morning, I want to join 2 table-cells. If one is below or above the other – easy. But I want to join two cells side by side: I put the cursor in the right cell, this message appears: »The operation is enabled only when there is a selection that contains at least two cells from the same row of a table or when the caret is positioned between two horizontally adjacent cells.« I mark 2 cells, the button is enabled. What is to do? Kind regards Ulrike Borinski (Mac, Oxygen 18, build 2016081012) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Help to transform XML/XSLT to PDF output
by David Coe 03 Aug '16

03 Aug '16

I am looking for some suggestions how to develop a transformation scenario that uses a customer-provided XML DTD and XLST Stylesheets developed for MIL-STD-40051-2B. Previously, I used Oxygen XML Editor 16.1 to edit and validate XML against the customer-provided DTD. Once all the code and content was completed, then I used ArborText Editor 7 with Print Composer and its default FOSI to transform the the XML using the customer-provided XSLT stylesheets to PDF output. With my new client, I no longer have access to ArborText Editor and I want to be able to produce the PDF output through Oxygen XML Editor, some guidance is greatly appreciated.

Eclipse: jump back after search for declarations
by Arjan Loeffen 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

In Oxygen XSLT, when I ctrl-click on a variable (or whatever) and search for its declarations that way, I'd like to be able to jump back to the variable from the point of declaration. I'd expect this to be possible using alt-left (and alt-right to forward to the last declaration visited) but this behavior is not implemented. Can this be added? Of is there a way to do this in Eclipse? Thanks in advance, arjan -- Arjan Loeffen, Armatiek BV 06-12918997

Fwd: Suggestions for autocomplete not opportune
by Arjan Loeffen 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Dear Oxygen people, In the Eclipse environment: I think the suggestions provided for autocomplete in an XSLT context are often not opportune. As can be seen in this case: [image: Inline afbeelding 1] It is not opportune to offert concat() when this is never correct after $con_: $ introduces a variable name in all cases. We are forced to enter $conf_ to access the right type of suggestion for autocomplete. Or is this some kind of option/setting? arjan
