Version 23 of Oxygen XML Editor boasts the most substantial and comprehensi=
ve set of new features, productivity enhancements, and customization possib=
ilities in the history of the most powerful XML authoring and development t=
ool available on the market.

As always, a lot of attention was focused on the DITA community, to make th=
e authoring experience even more efficient and dynamic. You can expect to d=
iscover a new dynamic floating toolbar that provides quicker access to comm=
on editing actions, it is now possible to edit submaps directly in the DITA=
 Maps Manager view without needing to open them in their own tab, you can o=
pen DITA maps in Author mode with the content from all referenced topics ex=
panded and editable directly in the editor, two new DITA-specific sample pr=
oject templates are available to help you get more familiar with how to use=
 projects in DITA, and if you want to experiment with the upcoming version =
of DITA, DITA 2.0 maps and topics can now be created from new document temp=
lates.

On the DITA publishing side, you now have the ability to run multiple DITA-=
OT or Ant transformation scenarios simultaneously to shorten the time it ta=
kes to finish transforming large projects, image map numbers and shapes are=
 now visible and clickable in CSS-based PDF output, and a lot of work was d=
one on improving the Oxygen PDF Chemistry processor with various CSS proper=
ty enhancements.

Some of the general editing productivity enhancements include a new Find Ac=
tion feature that provides a very quick way to find and trigger actions, it=
 is now possible to copy selected XML content from Author mode to the syste=
m clipboard with the XML structure preserved, and you can now easily create=
 a new project from an existing project template.

The already robust JSON support was further enhanced. You can now edit JSON=
 documents in Author mode with access to the various features available for=
 XML documents, a handy tool was added for generating documentation for a J=
SON Schema file, and numerous improvements were made to the JSON to XML, XM=
L to JSON, and JSON Schema Generator tools.

Add-ons continue to be great for extending the functionality of Oxygen XML =
Editor since updates and additions can be implemented and made available in=
-between major Oxygen XML Editor versions. Major updates have been made to =
the Git Client and Batch Converter add-ons, while some of the new add-ons t=
hat have been released include a Terminology Checker, a Translator Helper, =
and a Vale Validation add-on.

Some of the other exciting highlights for this version include the possibil=
ity of creating or customizing a framework through a script file rather tha=
n using the GUI, the capability of inserting and editing tables in JATS doc=
uments, the diff and merge support in the Eclipse plugin now incorporates t=
he text-based mode that Oxygen users are familiar with, the content complet=
ion for XSLT 3.0 stylesheets now automatically inserts required attributes,=
 speed optimization for documents that contain Hebrew characters, various n=
ew CSS properties, an option to batch convert HTML to well-formed XML struc=
ture, and some of the most popular command line scripts that are used for a=
utomating and running various utilities were enhanced, while other new scri=
pts were added.

 component updates.=20

Version 23 of the Oxygen XML Web Author continues to bolster the innovative=
 web-based authoring tool. This release brings a lot of exciting new featur=
es, productivity enhancements, and customization possibilities to the onlin=
e XML authoring community.

One of the most requested features that Web Author users have asked for in =
recent years is concurrent editing. You now have the possibility of sharing=
 your editing session by sending its URL to other collaborators and then yo=
u and your colleagues can edit and review the same document simultaneously.

DITA users now have the ability to open a DITA map with all referenced topi=
cs expanded and editable in one single document. his allows you to perform =
rapid changes both at topic and map level, thus speeding-up the edit and re=
view process in the context provided by the entire document. With the revie=
w process in mind, you can also download and print a PDF snapshot of the cu=
rrent document.

You can also look forward to a new dynamic floating toolbar that provides q=
uicker access to common editing actions, copy content from Web Author and p=
aste it into an external application with the HTML structure preserved, Bit=
bucket server is now supported, and enhancements to the Git commit workflow=
 were implemented.

New customization possibilities and features for integrators include an opt=
ion to implement Single Sign On for a CMIS server by using a service accoun=
t and some new loading options and URL parameters, for example, to enable i=
n-place editing of the content of referenced topics within a DITA map, to h=
ave topic titles resolved and displayed when opening a DITA map, or to enab=
le multiple children of a folded element to remain visible.

As usual, this release also includes various API additions, bug fixes, and =
component updates.=20

Version 23 of the Oxygen Publishing Engine benefits from all the improvemen=
ts and new features implemented in Oxygen XML WebHelp and Oxygen PDF Chemis=
try.

ly designed for organizations that prefer to install the software on their =
own server for better data control. Several new transformation parameters w=
