Updates in V23.1

Features

Responsive WebHelp

• Add and Manage Comments Contextually - If you integrate Oxygen Feedback into your WebHelp output, your users can now add and manage comments contextually at a specific location within the output page where block elements appear (e.g. section, paragraph, list, or table elements) without having to scroll to the comments area at the bottom of the page. This means that the feedback is more precise and it is easier to perceive it in the intended context.
• Automatically Convert HTML Fragments to Well-formed XML - The webhelp.enable.html.fragments.cleanup transformation parameter has been added and when set to true (the default setting), the transformation will automatically convert contributed content to well-formed XML. If set to false, the transformation will fail if any included HTML fragments are not well-formed.
• Access More HTML Fragment Placeholder Possibilities - If you use custom HTML fragments to customize various components in your WebHelp Responsive output, you now have access to more placeholders for your custom fragments, opening up new customization possibilities.
• Integrate a Custom Search Engine in Your WebHelp Output - It is now possible to integrate a custom search engine into your WebHelp Responsive output with the help of two new transformation parameters.
• Distinguish More Easily the Content of DITA Note Elements - The rendering of DITA <note> elements in the WebHelp output has been redesigned to make the content within the note even more noticeable.
• Add Link Component in WebHelp Output to Open PDF Documentation - It is now possible to add a component in your WebHelp output that links to an external PDF resource.
• Oxygen Styles Basket - The new Oxygen Styles Basket is a handy web-based visual tool that helps you to fine-tune the CSS file that is used to customize your PDF or WebHelp output. You simply pick and mix aspects from galleries to add and adjust the rules in your custom CSS file.
• Component Update: DITA Open Toolkit 3.6 - The DITA Open Toolkit version used for publishing DITA content has been updated to 3.6. This provides access to parameters that help to reduce the publishing time.
• Deprecated Transformation Scenario: DocBook WebHelp Classic with Feedback - The DocBook Webhelp Classic with Feedback transformation scenario is now deprecated. WebHelp Classic for DocBook can now be integrated with the new Oxygen Feedback commenting platform instead.
• Deprecated Support for Microsoft Internet Explorer - The support for Internet Explorer is now deprecated. Full support for Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Firefox and Apple Safari remain intact.
