oXygen XML Author adds Smart Paste

Released: Jan 13, 2011

Updates in this release

Updates in V12.1

  • Smart Paste - Automatic Conversion to DITA, DocBook, TEI, etc.
    Styled content can be inserted by copying content from Office applications (for example Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice.org Writer and OpenOffice.org Calc) and Web browsers (Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, etc.) and pasting it in the Author editor. The styles and general layout of the copied content, like sections with headings, tables, list items, bold and italic text, hyperlinks, are converted in the target document equivalent XML elements. <oXygen/> provides default implementations for the following document types: DITA, DocBook, TEI, XHTML but this support can be configured also for user defined document types.
  • Automatic Refresh of Included Content
    The content referred by xi:include elements and conref attributes is refreshed automatically when it is modified and saved in another editor panel.
  • Manage Tracked Changes at Word Level
    Now you can accept or reject tracked changes either entirely or only fragments of them.
  • Different Visualization Modes of Documents Containing Tracked Changes
    New visualization modes allow you to preview documents as if all their tracked changes were accepted or rejected.
  • Content Completion Supports Custom Actions
    You can customize the content of the Content Completion window, Elements view and Element Insert menus Author controls, by adding items (which, when invoked, perform custom actions) or by filtering the default contributed ones.
  • Support for Auto Margins
    The CSS properties margin-left:auto and margin-right:auto are now supported.
  • New CSS Extension Functions
    New CSS extension functions were added to improve string operations (substring, indexof and lastindexof) and to provide XPath evaluation support (xpath).
