01 Jul '22

Hello everyone, We are excited to announce the release of *version 4.0.0* of the *Oxygen Terminology Checker add-on*! The latest version of the add-on brings the following useful new features: - The ability to define simple XPath expressions for particular defined rules to match or skip specific elements.* - By introducing an experimental part-of-speech tagging, when scanning for terminology problems, the problem is presented only if the term's part of speech matches the one specified on the defined rule (available only for the English language). - You now have the option to set in the terminology configuration file the phase in which the incorrect terms are applied. There are 3 such phases: always (default), when the document is edited in Author Editing Mode or when the document is validated from a Validation Scenario. - The performance is now improved when checking files. *Important*: The features marked with "*" are available from Oxygen 24.1 build 2022062007 and newer. To manually install the add-on, follow these instructions: 1. Go to *Help > Install new add-ons* to open an add-on selection dialog box. 2. Enter or paste https://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Addons/default/updateSite.xml in the *Show add-ons from* field or select it from the drop-down menu. 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. For more information on the add-on, see the details for the Oxygen Terminology Checker on the page below: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/24.1/ug-editor/topics/terminology-ch… We hope you will find this new version of our add-on useful and as always, your feedback is welcome!

suppress hover-over text in editor?
by Alan Houser 14 Jun '22

14 Jun '22

I've hesitated to ask this for some time ... surely I'm missing a preference or setting ... but I'm at a loss to find it ... I'm generally grateful for oXygen's abundant hover-over text in the Editor and Results windows (DITA element and attribute definitions, inherited profiling metadata, character codes, OT errors, etc.). But sometimes during a demo or training, the hover-over text is distracting. Is there a setting I'm missing to disable hover-over text? -Alan -- Alan Houser Group Wellesley, Inc.

[ANN] Oxygen Content Fusion version 5.0 is now available!
by Alin Belu 26 May '22

26 May '22

Hello, We are proud to announce the immediate availability of *Oxygen Content Fusion version 5.0*, the ultimate web collaboration solution! *Version 5.0* of *Oxygen Content Fusion* is the latest release for the innovative collaboration platform that is designed to improve any documentation review process. Some of the most interesting features added in the latest version include a new *Search side-view* that enables searches throughout all files in a task, various *user interface improvements* that offer Content Fusion a more modern look and feel, and the ability to *mention other collaborators* in review comments. The embedded visual editor that is based upon *Oxygen XML Web Author* technology was updated to include the new features and improvements that were added in the recently released Web Author 24.1.0. Some of its most important additions include *performance optimizations for the concurrent editing* feature and a new *Find/Replace tab* that makes it possible to see all search results without needing to scroll through the document. Also, it is now possible for technical writers to open files sent for review directly from Oxygen XML Editor/Author to make changes or to apply a transformation scenario on the DITA map. To this end, new actions were introduced in Oxygen XML Editor/Author that enable you to *open task files or the context map* specified for a task. To further improve the user experience, version 5.0 also includes numerous important component updates. For more information about Oxygen Content Fusion and more details of what was added in this version, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/content_fusion/whats_new.html We hope you will enjoy our latest release of Oxygen Content Fusion! As always, feedback is welcome! Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor

Important tip when using Oxygen XML
by Roger L Costello 16 May '22

16 May '22

Hi Folks, I love the "Format and Indent" button in Oxygen. But it has a gotcha! It replaces multiple spaces in your data with a single space. For example, in my XML document it changed this: <TRM_IDENT>GBE6 BELGRANO 6</TRM_IDENT> to this: <TRM_IDENT>GBE6 BELGRANO 6</TRM_IDENT> See the change in the data? GBE6 BELGRANO 6 GBE6 BELGRANO 6 Now you might think, "Well, what's the big deal? Why does it matter that Oxygen discarded a few spaces?" Actually, it is a huge deal! In my use case, I have a program which checks that the TRM_IDENT value matches every TRM_IDENT value in another XML file that had not been formatted by Oxygen. My program kept returning an error saying that the values don't match. It took me many hours to find the problem: Oxygen changed the data in the first file. I did some research and found that Oxygen has a way to specify that space is to be preserved during a format and indent operation: Preferences/Editor/Format/XML click on "Preserve text as it is". If you're using Oxygen, I recommend that you open it up right now and click on that option. If you don't, then one day you might run into the same situation and waste many hours trying to figure out why things aren't working. /Roger
