This video presents highlights of some of the most interesting new features implemented in Oxygen XML Web Author 25.

00:00:03The Oxygen XML Web Author team is very proud to announce the release of version 25 of the

00:00:10innovative web-based XML authoring tool. Here are some highlights of new features and updates

00:00:15that were implemented in this version. DITA map nodes are now collapsed, by default,

00:00:20which is especially helpful when navigating large or complex DITA maps ... and you can

00:00:26easily expand nodes on demand, both in the DITA Maps Manager and in the editor pane.

00:00:38The Outline pane is now also available for DITA Map documents. It displays a

00:00:44hierarchical overview of the map structure and provides quick navigation features.

00:00:52A new "Inline insertions actions" CSS style is available when editing a DITA map in the

00:00:58visual editor. It renders an insertion widget in locations in the map document where a new

00:01:04topic reference can be inserted, saving you several steps in the insertion process.

00:01:15It is now easier to add indentation in code blocks using the Tab keyboard shortcut to increase the

00:01:21indentation or Shift-Tab to decrease it. Also, a new pop-up action is available in the

00:01:29top-right corner of codeblocks to easily change or set the syntax highlight language for the code.

00:01:41The image map editor is now available for XHTML documents,

00:01:46providing the means to create hyperlinks within an image.

00:01:50An API is also available for adding image map support in custom document types.

00:01:56Link actions were added to the floating toolbar, making it easier

00:02:00than ever to insert cross references, file references, or web links in DITA topics.

00:02:09And there are also new contextual menu actions available in a "Select" submenu that can be used

00:02:15for quickly selecting an element ... or its content ... or even its parent element.

00:02:24These were just some of the new features added in version 25 of the Oxygen XML Web Author.
