機能

DITA Authoring

• Insert Content/Key References from Content Completion Assistant - When editing DITA topics, you now have access to several actions listed as proposals in the content completion window that make it easier to insert content references and key references. The conref action opens a pop-up window that allows you to choose reusable content from a list of all the reusable components (elements with IDs in topics that are referenced as resource-only in the context DITA map). The keyref action opens a pop-up window that allows you to choose a key from a list of all the keys that are gathered from the context DITA map.
• Preserve Topic Type When Converting Sections to New Topics - When using the Convert sections to new topics XML refactoring operation, users will now benefit from the topic type being preserved for the new topic files created from the inner sections. This applies specifically to DITA topics of the type topic, concept, or reference. Previously, the generic topic type was used, but now users can ensure consistency in the topic types throughout the conversion process.
• Option to Control Conversions of Non-DITA Resources When Inserting Topic References - A new option (Dynamic conversion of specific non-DITA resources) is now available in the DITA Maps preferences page that controls whether or not non-DITA resources are automatically converted to DITA when inserting topic references in the DITA Maps Manager. The option is enabled by default, which means non-DITA resources (such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Markdown, OpenAPI, and HTML) are dynamically converted when chosen in the Insert Topic Reference dialog box. You can disable the option if you do not want such resources to be converted to DITA.

DITA Publishing

• Automatic Fix of Width/Height Values for Images - When performing CSS-based PDF transformations, it is important to ensure that the values for the width or height of an image do not contain uppercase letters for units of measurement (this can cause the image to be missing in the output). If the system detects that an image has width or height values that contain units of measurement written in uppercase letters, it now automatically corrects them to ensure that the image is properly displayed in the output. Additionally, a warning message is displayed to alert you about the issue so that you can also fix the problem in the source file.
• Zendesk Transformation Automatically Creates Table of Contents - The Zendesk Help Center transformation scenario now automatically creates and publishes a table of contents as the first article in the target section. This initial article serves as a hierarchical reference to all other articles. The title of the table of contents article is the title of the DITA map. To disable the publication of a table of contents, you can set a new parameter called zendesk.create.toc to false. Additionally, there are two new optional parameters, zendesk.toc.title.prefix and zendesk.toc.title.suffix, which allow you to specify a prefix or suffix to be added to the title of the table of contents article.
• Publish to Zendesk Subsection - The Zendesk Help Center transformation scenario now supports publishing to a subsection. The Section parameter can contain a path of section names separated by '///'.
• Real-Time Publishing Steps Presented for DITA Transformations - When running DITA transformations, the real-time progress is now constantly updated in the status bar to present the current publishing step being processed.
• Support for Prepress Print Layout With New Cropping Properties - For CSS-based PDF transformations, support has been implemented for prepress processing with the addition of the new cropping properties (-oxy-scale, -oxy-crop-box, and -oxy-crop-offset). It is also possible to add the crop and/or registration marks to the PDF document by using the marks property.

Author Mode

• Spell Checker Improvements - When using the spell checker for DITA, DocBook, or TEI documents opened in Author mode, the borders of consecutive inline elements are now considered transparent. This means that if there is no space between two consecutive inline elements and the text inside them would form a misspelled word when placed consecutively (without a space) in the output, a spell check error will be reported.
• Smart Paste Markdown Content - Markdown content that is pasted within DITA, DocBook, TEI, or XHTML documents in the Author visual editing mode is now converted to the target vocabulary, similar to pasting web page content or Microsoft Word content.
• Split Action in Content Completion Automatically Inserts Required Child Element - When using the Split action within the content completion feature in Author mode, if the initial element has a required first child element, it will now be automatically added as an empty child element inside the newly created element.

Text Mode

• Batch Execute Quick Fix Proposals - A new Apply all default quick fix proposals action has been added in the Text editing mode's contextual menu that can be used to batch execute all detected default quick fix proposals for all reported validation errors.
• Toggle Comments Action Supports Multiple Languages - The Toggle Comments action that is used to enclose the currently selected fragment in a comment is now context dependent, making it possible to comment multiple types of languages within a document.
• Automatically Generate Unique Values for ID-Type Attributes - When an ID-type attribute is inserted using the Content Completion Assistant, a unique value is now automatically generated for it, eliminating the need for an extra step of adding an unique value for the attribute.

File Comparison

• Merge Documents with Change Tracking Highlights Tool Improved - Improvements have been made to the Merge Documents with Change Tracking Highlights tool to provide better handling of particular cases where documents with extensive structural changes are compared. This should help eliminate false validation errors when comparing pairs with lots of structural changes.
• API for Merge Documents or Directories with Change Tracking Highlights - The newly added AuthorDiffChangeTrackingMergerFactory.AuthorDiffChangeTrackingMergerFactory() API can now be used for merging a pair of compared XML documents or directories and the resulting merged document will contain highlighted tracked changes. The class provides 2 methods: createChangeTrackingMergePerformer() for merging documents, and createDirectoryChangeTrackingMergePerformer() for merging directories.

Markdown

• Syntax Highlights for Languages Embedded in Markdown - For Markdown documents that contain code from various languages, those blocks are now rendered with proper syntax highlights to make it easier to distinguish the non-Markdown syntax. The languages that are rendered with syntax highlights in Markdown documents include JavaScript, JSON, YAML, XML, Java, Python, and CSS.
• DITA Preview Presents Colors and Filters for Profiling Attributes - For Markdown documents that contain profiling attributes within curly braces (e.g. ## Header 2 {audience=expert}), the DITA preview pane now presents the profiling attributes, colors, and filtered elements similar to how they are presented in Author mode, provided that the profiling is set to be shown in the Profiling/Conditional Text drop-down menu in the DITA Maps Manager.

Oxygen AI Positron Assistant

• Oxygen AI Positron Assistant Enterprise - A separate Enterprise version of the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant add-on is now available allowing users to directly connect to their AI models, either by using their OpenAI accounts or on Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service. 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. Users can configure their company-specific AI service details in the new AI Service Configuration preferences page (Options->Preferences->Oxygen AI Positron Assistant->AI Service Configuration).
• Easily Create Custom AI Actions - New document templates are now available to help you easily create AI Positron custom actions. The AI Positron Custom Action file template contains a single custom action definition in JSON format and can be used to configure a single action, while the AI Positron Custom Actions List file template provides a convenient way of defining multiple actions inside the same file. While working on such an action, you will also benefit from the help given by the content completion assistant.
• Translate Content to Any Language - A new action (named "Other") has been added inside the Translation section and can be used to translate content into any desired language. You are able to choose from a predefined set of languages or type your own target language.
• AI Refactoring Available for Remote Resources - The AI Positron Assistant add-on contributes an AI Positron Refactoring action in the contextual menu (Refactoring->AI Positron Refactoring) of both the Project and DITA Maps Manager views that can be used to refactor multiple files at once. Now, this feature also works when applied on remote resources (for example, resources placed on WebDav servers or Content Management Systems).
• Easier Access to Actions - The available AI actions are now displayed as buttons in the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant view when the chat is empty (in addition to being displayed in the Actions drop-down menu), thus providing easier access to start a new AI action.
• XML Syntax Coloring In Chat Response Area - The chat pane now uses XML syntax highlighting for XML code to make it easier to see and understand the XML structure.

Add-ons

• JSON Schema Validator - A new JSON Schema Validator add-on is now available to provide support for validating JSON documents against JSON schema version 2020-12. The validation engine is based on the json-sKema library. Once the add-on is installed, you can choose the JSON Schema Validator (json-sKema) engine when creating a validation scenario.
• Batch Documents Converter Improvements - Several enhancements have been made to the Batch Documents Converter add-on, including the addition of an XSD to JSON Schema conversion that results in a version 2020-12 JSON Schema.

Scripting

• The All Platforms distribution of Oxygen is bundled with a scripts sub-folder that contains scripts for automating and running various utilities from a command line interface. To run any of these scripts, you need to purchase a scripting license.
  • Performance Improved for Validation and Check for Completeness Script - The DITA Validate and Check for Completeness script received important performance enhancements. By eliminating a lot of duplication within the processing, the time it takes for the script to finish when using DITAVAL filters has been reduced significantly.

Miscellaneous

• Experimental Dark Color Theme in Eclipse - Added a new experimental system property (-Dcom.oxygenxml.eclipse.dark.color.theme=true) which can be set in the eclipse.ini configuration file to enforce a dark color theme when opening XML documents in Oxygen's Eclipse plugin. The regular color theme in Eclipse must also be set to Dark (in the Preferences->General->Appearance page) to consistently apply the Dark theme in the entire workbench.
• Create and Validate SVG 1.2 Tiny Documents - SVG 1.2 Tiny schema grammar files have been added and a new file template to create new SVG 1.2 Tiny documents is now available in the new file wizard. These updates make it possible to easily create, edit, and validate SVG Tiny 1.2 documents.
