oXygen XML Author adds code templates

Released: Sep 15, 2010

Updates in this release

Updates in V12.0

  • Profiling/Conditional Text for Any XML Document
    <oXygen/> offers generic conditional text support for any XML documentation framework, including (but not limited to) DITA and DocBook. All you need to do is to define the profiling attributes and corresponding profiling values in the <oXygen/> options.
  • Code Templates
    The XML code templates (snippets) are available through content completion also in the Author mode. They can be configured in the Editor/Templates/Code Templates options page.
  • Drag and Drop or Paste Files to Create Links
    A link to an image or to a file can be quickly inserted when editing in the Author mode by dragging the file into the opened document, or by pasting it. Pasting an image data (copied from another application) in the editor creates an image file on disk, and then creates an XML reference to that file: for DocBook it creates a figure element, for DITA an image element, while for other documents it inserts the file path. The behavior can be controlled/extended using the Author API.
  • Content Annotations/Comments
    An annotation can be associated with a section of the Author content without modifying or deleting the content. Annotations can highlight virtually any content from your document, except read-only text. Such comments are marked in Author editor with a configurable background color.
  • Support for the "text-transform" CSS Property
    The CSS property called "text-transform" is now supported in the Author mode allowing to render text as lower-case, upper-case or capitalized.
