Customizing Batch Document conversion from Word to DITA
by Jirka Kosek 12 Feb '24

12 Feb '24

Hi, we are using Batch Document converting Add-on on one project to convert Word files into DITA content. I'm wondering if there is any way how to customize conversion process in a more complex way than just by mapping Word styles into HTML elements that are later mapped into DITA (as described at https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/26.0/ug-editor/topics/batch-converte…) Examples of things we would like to customize: * Grouping of generated DITA elements. For example Word figure with caption is by default converted to two paragraphs -- one with image and the second with caption. We can map Caption style to "figure > figcaption" but this will generate DITA figure only with title, image itself will be in the previous paragraph. If we could run simple XSLT on the result it should be possible to automatically fix such output to create valid and more semantically rich DITA. * We need to create DITA Bookmap not plain DITA Map from one Word file. So having ability to run custom XSLT that woudl transform map into bookmap would help us a lot. Of course we can implement this as an additional post-processing step but if there is some existing integration point I've missed it would be much easier for users just to invoke conversion from the menu.

[ANN] Version 1.1 of Oxygen AI Positron Assistant Introduces the Enterprise Version, AI Positron Custom Actions, and More!
by Alin Belu 08 Feb '24

08 Feb '24

Hello, We are excited to announce *version 1.1* of *Oxygen AI Positron Assistant*, a powerful tool that helps writers increase their productivity by providing support for using AI-generated content within the Oxygen tools - Oxygen XML Editor/Author/Developer and Oxygen XML Web Author. Version 1.1 introduces a separate *Enterprise version* of the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant add-on allowing users to *directly connect to their AI models*, either using their OpenAI accounts or OpenAI services hosted on Microsoft Azure. This enables them to have full control over the AI service that is used by the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant and to leverage personalized or company-specific AI models. *AI Positron custom actions*, which are defined as JSON configuration files, can now be easily created by using new document templates that provide a starting point for action definition. The translation actions were extended with a new action that enables *content translation into any language*. The AI Positron Refactoring action that provides the ability to *batch process a set of files using AI* now works when applied on remote resources (such as resources located on WebDav servers or from Content Management Systems). This version also includes various enhancements to improve the user experience. For example, the AI actions are displayed directly in the chat pane prior to a new chat being initiated, making them even more accessible. Additionally, XML syntax highlights have been implemented for XML code within the chat pane, aiding in better visualization and understanding of the XML structure. To start benefiting from Oxygen AI Positron Assistant, users have the option of a trial period. Additionally, there are several subscription plans to choose from to align with specific usage needs. 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! Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor

show TAB/NBSP/EOL/EOF marks in Ixiasoft Eclipse & CCMS WEB
by Oudkerk, Judith 07 Feb '24

07 Feb '24

Hi Radu (or colleague), In the Oxygen stand-alone version there is the option to show TAB/NBSP/EOL/EOF marks (see Fig. 1). However, I can’t find this option in Ixiasoft Eclipse (see Fig. 2). Is there a way to show non-breaking spaces in Ixiasoft Eclipse (currently Oxygen v25.1)? And preferably also in CCMS Web? We will update to version 7 in the near future, which will include Oxygen v26. Fig. 1 Oxygen stand-alone v26 [cid:image001.png@01DA59AB.8368BCD0] Fig. 2 Oxygen in Eclipse v.25.1 [cid:image002.png@01DA59AC.29D828D0] Thanks.

[ANN] Version 6.1 of Oxygen Content Fusion Introduces Due Dates, Single Sign-On, and More!
by Alin Belu 05 Feb '24

05 Feb '24

Hello everyone, We are proud to announce the immediate availability for *Oxygen Content Fusion 6.1*, the web-based collaboration platform for content creation! Version 6.1 introduces exciting new features, such as the *Due Date for review tasks*, to ensure effective project management. The due date is visible in various places in the user interface and reviewers will receive email notifications to remind them that they need to finalize their task in time. *Single Sign-On support* is another much requested feature. This is now available by using OpenID Connect, thus allowing users to authenticate using an organization's SSO system, offering a secure and simplified login procedure. Existing Oxygen Content Fusion users with an account created via LDAP or sign up can use a third party app that implements the OpenID Connect protocol. With the new *Comment-only Review Mode*, task owners will now have better control as it allows them to limit the reviewers to only have the ability to add comments without changing the content. This ensures that the document content is always seen in its original form by all reviewers. The newly introduced *Request Re-Review* action enables task owners to request additional reviews should the need arise (a typical scenario for utilizing this feature is after addressing comments provided by other collaborators and requiring a review of these new change). This resets the status of the review from Finalized to In Progress for all reviewers and they will also be notified via email that there is a request to review the task again. Oxygen Content Fusion 6.1 also ensures a superior degree of *control over finalized review status* even when other collaborators make changes to documents within the task. The Finalized state will change for that particular user only if they make changes to the task documents, or if a task owner either re-opens the task or requests a re-review of the task. *Review status information* is explicitly detailed, showing the number of reviewers assigned to the task and their finalized review status. Seamless integration with Oxygen XML Editor/Author is better handled by *allowing tasks to be marked as Integrated once complete*. The tasks in the Integrated state cannot be edited and are hidden by default, thus enabling you to remain focused only on the tasks that you are actively working on. In the web interface, the hidden integrated tasks can be displayed on demand. Now, both task owners and reviewers have the ability to add files to a task, either by *uploading an existing file* or by *creating a new file from a template*. Moreover, keeping track of tasks has been made easier with a sortable list, and the Task Activity page has been redesigned to provide users with a view of all the changes made by collaborators. Clicking on a file name now opens a comparison view of the document, highlighting all modifications made in a clear manner. This short video highlights the most important additions to Oxygen Content Fusion 6.1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmIkpfVpmMs For more information, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/content_fusion/whats_new.html We hope you will enjoy our latest release!

[ANN] Oxygen Feedback 4.1 is now available in both Cloud and Enterprise editions!
by Alin Belu 01 Feb '24

01 Feb '24

Hello, We are proud to announce the immediate availability of *Oxygen Feedback* *version 4.1* for both Cloud and Enterprise editions! The main focus of Oxygen Feedback version 4.1 was to *streamline the configuration and installation processes* by implementing various navigation features and informative messages for the users if any issues arise during the integration process. For instance, users will be presented with warnings and indicators in several places in the interface when a site or version has no page views, typically indicating that the site or version has not been installed. This approach aims to provide users with troubleshooting hints directly within the admin interface. A newly introduced *Technical Support page* serves as a valuable resource hub. It includes resources, such as a video demonstration on how to install Oxygen Feedback and relevant documentation topics. Additionally, administrators can effortlessly reach out to the support team for troubleshooting assistance through a dedicated form. Starting with this version, users now get all the relevant site information at a glance from the new *Site Dashboard page*, which is acting as the default page for a site. This includes the activity stream, the various versions defined for that site, a chart presenting the status overview for the existing comments, page views, page ratings, and more. The notification features have also been refined. Messages sent in notification emails for various events have been improved to make the *information more clear and consistent*. As usual, version 4.1 of Oxygen Feedback also comes with various important component updates. For more information about the Oxygen Feedback Cloud edition, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/oxygen_feedback_cloud/whats_new.html For more information about the Oxygen Feedback Enterprise edition, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/oxygen_feedback_enterprise/whats_new.html Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor
