| Syncro Soft Announces New Release of Oxygen XML Editor With a new approach to XML authoring, Oxygen XML Editor 9 makes easier than ever before to work with XML frameworks (DocBook, DITA, TEI, XHTML, etc). The CSS-based visual XML editor introduced by version 9 allows WYSIWYG like editing of XML documents. Version 9.1 adds a number of improvements, the main additions being related with the WYSIWYG like XML editor and with the WebDAV support. It contains also support for SOAP 1.2 and some updated components. New in version 9.1 When visually editing XML documents it is always a challenge to easily edit XML attributes. The new version solves this problem by allowing a quick and easy way with the new in place editing for XML attributes. The in place editing popup can be triggered with a configurable shortcut (by default that is Alt+Enter). Both XML attribute names and possible values can be quickly selected by typing their prefixes. The visual Author mode from Oxygen XML editor was also enhanced with support for bookmarks. These allow quick positioning in large documents and working in multiple locations of multiple documents. DITA map documents can be easily converted to HTML or PDF. A new pre-configured scenario was added for the default DITA configuration for transforming a DITA Map document to HTML. The already existing DITA to PDF scenario can handle now also DITA map files so you can use that to convert a DITA map to PDF. The WebDAV support has been improved by adding WebDAV locking support. This ensures that only you can modify that resource on the WebDAV server. If another user tries to edit a locked resource s/he will receive a warning message containing the name of the lock owner. The resource is locked when you open it and released automatically when the resource is closed. Oxygen XML editor now supports SOAP 1.2. The SOAP version is detected from the WSDL definition file and the appropriate headers are set in the SOAP request. The SOAP 1.2 envelope is validated against a SOAP 1.2 XML Schema. Several components were updated. The TEI framework was updated to the latest P5 1.0 schemas, DITA Open Toolkit to the latest 1.4.1 and Saxon B XSLT processor from Saxonica to the latest 9.0.0.2 version. Oxygen XML editor supports also the Saxon SA 9.0.0.2 (that requires a separate license from Saxonica). write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
