Oxygen XML WebHelp V25.0

Core

• Generate Google Structured Data - You can now generate Google Structured Data in the DITA WebHelp Responsive output. Google uses structured data to better understand the contents of the page and display special search results in a Google Search.
• Display Custom Title in Search Results - It is now possible to display a custom title for topics in the search results page. This can be achieved by adding the <searchtitle> element inside the particular DITA topic (or inside the topic reference within a DITA map). The <searchtitle> element is used to specify the title that is displayed by search tools that locate the topic.
• Scaling in Image Maps Improved - Scaling when working with image maps has been improved. Adding the @scale attribute on the <imagemap> element now scales both the image and its areas, if defined.
• Replace Main Page With Your Own Custom Page - A new transformation parameter (webhelp.skip.main.page.generation) can now be set to true to instruct the transformation engine to skip the default main page generation. This is helpful if you want to replace the default main page with a topic page or other custom page.

Search Engine

• Implement Your Own Custom Search Filter - It is now possible to implement a custom search filter by referencing a custom JavaScript file in an Oxygen Publishing Template.
• Search Expressions are Preserved in Search Filter - The search expressions that you type in the search filter field are now preserved after you click on a search result. This makes it more efficient to refine searches since you can edit or add text to the preserved search expression instead of starting over.
• Use a Custom Search Engine - A new transformation parameter (webhelp.fragment.custom.search.engine.script) can be used to specify the path to an XHTML file that contains scripts required for a custom search engine that would replace WebHelp's built-in search engine.
• Change Default Operator for the Search Engine - A new transformation parameter (webhelp.search.default.operator) now makes it possible to change the default operator for the search engine. If the value is set to and, multiple word queries result in the search engine only returning results for topics that contain ALL words. If the value is set to or (default value), multiple word queries result in the search engine returning results for topics that contain ANY of the words.
