機能

DITA Editing

• DITA Maps Manager Welcome Screen - When no DITA maps are open in the DITA Maps Manager view, you now see a welcome screen with options to quickly create or open a DITA map, along with a list of recently used DITA maps for easy access. This helps you start working faster and find your recent work more easily.
• Quick Find Filter Added in DITA Maps Manager - You can now quickly search and filter referenced topics in your DITA map using the new search field and filtering options at the top of the DITA Maps Manager view. There are also some new filtering toggle options, enabling you to search only in titles or display results as a flat list to easily locate the resources you need.
• Show Chunk Attribute on Tooltip in DITA Maps Manager - You are now able to see the value of the chunk attribute for each topic reference directly in the tooltip in the DITA Maps Manager, helping you quickly identify which map nodes are chunked.
• References to DITA-Compatible Resources Expanded in Editor - When you open a DITA map with resolved topics (from the DITA Maps Manager view), references to DITA-compatible resources such as Markdown documents are now expanded and displayed as DITA XML directly in the editor. This lets you preview the converted content before publishing.

DITA Publishing

• See Publishing Progress in Status Bar - When you publish a DITA-OT project file, the status bar at the bottom of the editor shows the ID of the deliverable currently being processed and the total number of deliverables in the batch. This helps you track your publishing progress when working with multiple deliverables.
• Sticky Table Headers in WebHelp - You can now keep table headers visible as you scroll in DITA WebHelp output, making it easier to follow information in large tables. Control this behavior with the new webhelp.enable.sticky.table.headers transformation parameter.
• Switch Between Light and Dark Theme in WebHelp Output - Switch between Light and Dark themes in WebHelp output to match your preferences or browser settings. A new Switch Theme button in the header lets you choose between Auto, Light, and Dark modes. The Auto option adapts the interface to your browser's theme, while the Dark theme makes reading more comfortable in low light environments. All embedded Oxygen Feedback components, such as Comments, Page Rating, Block-Level Comments, AI Assistant, and AI-Enhanced Search Summary, automatically match the selected theme without additional configuration.
• Full Screen Mode for WebHelp Responsive Output - You can now view WebHelp Responsive output in full screen mode by using the Enter Fullscreen toolbar button. This is especially helpful for large, wide screens. Also, this behavior can be controlled using the webhelp.full.page.width parameter.
• Expand WebHelp Responsive Output to Full Width - Expand the WebHelp Responsive output to full width, making it easier to view content on large screens. Use the Maximize to full width/Restore to normal width button in the output to switch between full width and normal width.
• TOC State Now Persists in WebHelp Responsive Output - Your expanded or collapsed state for both the publication and topic TOC is now preserved as you navigate between topics in WebHelp Responsive output. This way, you can keep your preferred view while browsing content.
• Display Tooltips for Table Cells in WebHelp Output - It is now possible to enable tooltips that are displayed in WebHelp output when hovering over table cells, enhancing table readability by showing the corresponding row/column for the hovered cell. You can enable this feature by setting the webhelp.display.table.cell.tooltip parameter to yes.
• Option to Compress PDF Output - When transforming DITA content to PDF (by using the HTML5 and CSS-based transformation), you can use the new pdf.compress parameter to reduce the size of the PDF output, making it easier to store and share your files.
• Merge Multiple PDFs - Merge additional PDF documents with your output when transforming DITA content to PDF (based on HTML5 and CSS). Use the new chemistry.merge.before or chemistry.merge.after parameters to specify which PDFs to include before or after your main document.
• Generate Separate PDF Files for Each Chapter or Part - Generate individual PDF files for each chapter or part of your DITA publication (when transforming to PDF using HTML5 and CSS). This allows you to provide separate PDFs for each section, in addition to the complete book. To enable this, use the args.css.param.pdf-split-mode parameter.
• Create Presentation PDFs - You can now generate PDF files styled as presentation slides (similar to PowerPoint) from DITA content using the new Presentation publishing template. Each topic starts on a new slide, and images and tables are centered, making it easier to share your content in a presentation format. You can also customize the appearance using the Oxygen Styles Basket.
• AI-Friendly WebHelp Output - You can now make your WebHelp Responsive output more accessible to AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) by enabling the webhelp.enable.ai.friendly transformation parameter. This generates a llms.txt file and companion Markdown files, giving LLMs a simplified view of your site content and a curated index of the most relevant resources.
• Start Ordered Lists at a Specific Number - It is now possible to set the starting number of an ordered list by adding the @outputclass="start-X" attribute to the list (where X is the number you want the list to start from). This helps you continue numbering across multiple lists or match specific formatting requirements.

Visual Editing

• Copy Visual Editor Content as Markdown or XML - It is now possible to copy selected content from the Author visual editing mode as Markdown or XML using the contextual menu. This helps you preserve formatting such as lists, tables, code blocks, or emphasized words when pasting the content elsewhere.
• Add Comment Action Available on Floating Toolbar - For frameworks such as DITA or DocBook, adding comments in any location of a document is more convenient with the Add Comment action now available on the floating toolbar.
• Invoke AI Action Operation - If you have the optional AI Positron add-on installed, you can now create custom Author actions capable of triggering custom AI-powered tasks. This lets you integrate AI capabilities directly into your editing workflows.

DocBook

• Publish DocBook Topics Directly to PDF - You can now publish DocBook topic files directly to PDF using the DocBook to PDF transformation scenario, without needing a DocBook assembly file. This streamlines the publishing process for individual topics.

XSLT/XQuery

• XSLT and XQuery Transformation and Debugging with Saxon 12.9 - The built-in Saxon processor from Saxonica, used for XSLT and XQuery transformations and debugging, has been updated to version 12.9.
• Improved Editing for XSLT Text Value Templates in CDATA Sections - You can now use content completion and see syntax highlights when editing text value templates inside CDATA sections in XSLT documents, making it easier to write and review your templates.
• Rename XSLT Parameters in Call-Template Invocations - The Refactoring->Rename action now also updates parameter names in all call-template instructions, helping you keep your XSLT code consistent and saving you time when refactoring complex projects.
• Convert Between JSON and XML from XSLT - You can now use two new built-in Oxygen XPath extension functions, oxy:json-to-xml() and oxy:xml-to-json(), to easily convert data between JSON and XML formats directly from your XSLT stylesheets. These functions are available in the content completion proposals when editing XPath expressions in XSLT 3.0 or later, helping you work more efficiently with mixed data sources.

XProc

• XProc 3.0/3.1 Support - Oxygen now integrates the XML Calabash 3.X engine, enabling validation and transformation of XProc 3.0/3.1 scripts. The intuitive New File wizard lets you select your preferred XProc version (1.0, 3.0, or 3.1), and a suite of new XProc 3.X samples help to accelerate your onboarding. The Calabash XProc Engine is now clearly distinguished as XML Calabash 1.X and XML Calabash 3.X for precise version management.
• Enhanced XProc Configuration and Extensibility - You can now customize your XProc transformations by specifying a configuration file and adding extension libraries. For example, you can use a configuration file to control processor behavior or add external libraries to extend functionality, making it easier to tailor XProc processing to your needs.

File/Directory Comparison

• Focus on Relevant Folders when Comparing Directory Structures - You can now filter directory comparisons to include only subfolders that match specified patterns in the Compare Directories tool. This helps you focus on relevant folders when comparing directory structures.
• HTML Comparison Reports Show How Comparison Was Done - The comparison report that is generated by the Generate HTML report for directory comparison tool, now includes a collapsible section with meta information about how the comparison was performed. This helps you review the options used in the process and makes it easier to understand the results.
• Improved Selection Precision When Copying Differences - You can now see your selections more clearly in the comparison tool, making it easier to copy exactly the parts you need from a difference.
• Display Comment Callouts - You now have the possibility to display comment callouts when comparing two files. Enable the Show comment callouts option (available in the File Comparison - Appearance preferences page) to see comments from both versions directly in the comparison view.

Add-on updates

• Git Client - A new version of the Git Client has been released with the following updates:
  • The Git Client now uses JGit version 7.2.1. This update fixes an issue where the Pull operation's progress dialog could remain open indefinitely. You can now complete Pull operations without the dialog getting stuck.
  • Integrated various bug fixes.
• Terminology Checker - A new version of the Terminology Checker has been released with updates that include:
  • You can now use a new Fix Terminology Problems action in the AI Positron add-on to automatically identify and correct terminology issues in your current document.
  • Terminology checks are now faster, especially when using rules with multiple include or exclude filters.
  • If checking a file takes too long, the Terminology Checker will partially check the file so you can still review some results.
  • Various bug fixes have been implemented.

  • Implemented various bug fixes.

Miscellaneous

• Avoid Breaking Links in Your Project when Deleting Files - To avoid breaking links or dependencies in your project when you try to delete files or folders that might be referenced from other resources, you can now enable the Main Files feature from the Project view. By enabling this, Oxygen displays a warning dialog listing all links that would be broken, so you can prevent accidental broken references in your project.
• Quickly Add Relative Links - When using the Open/Find Resources dialog box or side view, you can now right-click a result and select the Insert as Link contextual action to quickly add a relative link to that resource at your cursor position in the current document.
• Manage Validation Scenarios More Easily - You can now enable or disable custom validation scenarios for the current document directly from the Validation toolbar drop-down menu. This makes it easier to control which checks are applied to your content.
• Save Validation Error Report - You can now save an HTML report of validation errors detected in the Results view using the new Save Validation Report contextual menu action. The report groups errors by document, provides sortable tables for easier analysis, and includes links to quickly open the validated documents, their associated schemas, and additional information about each detected error (when available).
• XSpec Content Completion Improvements - You can now use content completion in XSpec documents to insert XPath expressions more easily. When you type the $ character inside an XPath attribute, you see a list of available variable names based on your current context. XPath attributes are also highlighted with syntax coloring, making them easier to read and edit.
• Choose to Apply Schematron Quick Fixes in Bulk Only for Default Fixes - The new option, Restrict Apply All to Quick Fixes Marked as "sqf:default-fix", available in the Schematron Preferences page, helps you avoid applying unintended fixes when using the Apply All action.
