XML Editor

You can transform (using XSLT 1.0, 2.0, XQuery), validate, and perform many other operations on files inside archives.

You can seamlessly compare and merge files in ZIP archives (OOXML, ODF, JAR, etc.) using the Compare Directories tool. You can examine and merge differences in files from ZIP archives in the Compare Files tool.

The Author mode can display images referenced by the name of an external entity which specifies the physical location of the image file.

You can drag-and-drop, cut, copy, paste or delete multiple nodes in the Author Outline view.

You can insert multiple topic references repeatedly without closing the insertion dialog box. The dialog box also has an integrated file navigator for easier topic references browsing. Using the contextual menu you can also easily insert a topic reference to the current edited topic.

If a topic reference contains a URI value it will be solved through the Oxygen configured catalogs before being displayed in the DITA Map.

The XSLT stylesheets of DITA Open Toolkit for PDF output were patched for generating correct PDF bookmarks and a Table of Contents.

You can quickly find and insert an attribute without having to edit directly in the attributes table using the enhanced attributes editor. You can also choose a file path as an attribute value. This support is available in the Attributes, Outline and Schema Diagram views.

A selection plugin can now be applied to non-XML documents. In previous versions it could be applied only to an XML document.

You can use a toggle button in the Outline view to easily show/hide Processing Instructions and Comments in the outline tree.

You can export the settings of the schema documentation dialog box to an XML file. With the exported settings file you can generate the same HTML documentation from the command line by running the script schemaDocumentation.bat (on Windows) / schemaDocumentation.sh (on Mac OS X / Unix / Linux) located in the Oxygen XML Editor installation folder.

When the verification of a digital signature fails, the error messages offer more details when they are available. This is the case when the signature hash value does not match the signed content or the public key is invalid.

You can set options such as Transformation type, XPath, or ID when creating a detached signature.

The structure of the project tree can be changed by drag-and-drop actions also when the tree contains linked folders.

Oxygen includes the Math 2.0 DTD's allowing validation and content completion proposals in MathML XML documents.

The --postvalid flag is set as default allowing LIBXML to correctly validate the main document even if the XInclude fragments contain IDREFS located in other fragments.

The eXist database support was updated to eXist version 1.2.2.

The Saxon 9 XSLT and XQuery processor was updated to the latest version: 9.0.0.6. Both Saxon 9 Basic and Schema Aware versions are supported, including XSLT and XQuery debugging and profiling, and schema validation. For the Schema Aware version you need a separate license from Saxonica.

The Apache XSLT 1.0 processor was updated to version 2.7.1. Xalan can be used for running XSLT transformations in both the Editor perspective and the XSLT Debugger one and for validating XSLT stylesheets.

The Apache NekoHTML parser was updated to version 1.9.7. The NekoHTML parser is used for parsing HTML documents and making them valid XHTML documents.
