The already extensive support Oxygen offers for technical authoring can be further expanded with a variety of easy to install add-ons!

This webinar aims to take a deeper look at some of the most popular add-ons that are available and at the types of benefits they provide, how easy it is to install them, as well as offering some ideas for how they can be integrated into your particular authoring workflow.

The add-ons that will be featured in this webinar include:

• The Git Client add-on that contributes a Git client directly in the Oxygen interface.
• The DITA Outgoing References add-on that contributes a side view where you can see all the outgoing references for the current topic.
• The Terminology Checker add-on that highlights matched terms in the Author visual editing mode.
• The Translator Helper add-on that translates content using Google Translate or DeepL Translator to various languages.
• The Writer Helper add-on that helps with the review process, finding similar content, reads content with an operating system specific narrator, and provides Oxygen productivity tips.

From experience, most companies do not start new DITA-based projects from scratch. They already have the content written in various other formats and they need that content converted to DITA. But once the content is converted, there is still work to be done. It also needs to be refactored to respect various DITA best practices.

To show you how this process can be made as simple as possible, in this webinar, we will cover the following topics:

• How to use the batch documents converter and smart paste for converting content
• How to use the Main Files Support for refactoring across the entire project

With the latest release of the Oxygen suite of products, additional support was developed for Oxygen XML Scripting in order to compare and merge files or directories.

In this webinar we will cover in detail this newly implemented scripting support, as well as showing you examples on how to use it efficiently. We won’t be stopping here, as we will also be taking a look at how you can integrate it with Oxygen XML Editor.

During this 1-hour live event, we will focus on showing you the following:

• The Compare and Merge Files Command-Line Script - used to compare and merge files and get the comparison results in various formats (YAML, JSON, XML, HTML).
• The Compare and Merge Directories Command-Line Script - with many options to choose from, such as the comparison mode (content, binary, timestamp), the algorithm to be used for the comparison, the "strength" of the comparison algorithm, various "include/exclude" type file filters, various "ignore" type options to refine the comparison results.
• Generating File or Directory Comparison HTML Reports - the support to save the comparison made with Oxygen XML Editor in HTML format.

Oxygen XML Editor provides the ability to organize your DITA resources in projects. The DITA Sample Project is a best practice example that shows how DITA content can be organized to provide a scalable and flexible project structure.

With this in mind, during the course of this extensive online event, we will go over:

• the DITA Project structure
• using the Main files support to rename or move DITA resources
• creating a unified editing experience through project level settings
• spell check and terminology check project settings
• sharing a framework customization in the project
• sharing a publishing template in the project

Comparing documents and merging them is one of the most common parts of documentation workflows, for any set of evolving documents, whether it is for a newer version of a product or a simple document that goes through an improvement process.

The possibility to compare and merge documents in a browser allows reviewers or other stakeholders to see what was changed without the headache of needing to install a separate tool. Their productivity can further be improved by sharing a link that opens the file comparison tool with the changes already being highlighted.

With this in mind, this live webinar will get you accustomed to this more efficient method by showing you:

• Where does it fit in Oxygen’s internal workflow and how it is being used by our team.
• What is the 3-way merge and in what cases you can benefit from it.
• How to resolve the conflicts encountered when multiple users edit the same file.
• How to integrate the file comparison tool in a CMS to create a history view.

We all like custom products and most of the time we invest extra time and energy into customizing our tools to better fit our specific needs and preferences.

In this fourth episode of our Working with DITA in Oxygen series, we will explore several ways of customizing the DITA editing experience according to your desires. This webinar will cover the customization of:

• Author actions - edit existing actions, remove actions or add new ones. Add actions to the main toolbar, the contextual menu, or the content completion window.
• The Author-mode rendering - tailor the visuals of the editing experience using CSS and add in-place actions directly in the Author page.
• Document validation - create new validation rules and provide quick fixes using Schematron.
• The content-completion assistant - automatically insert or reject elements, attributes, and values.
• New document templates - add prefixes or suffixes to the names of your new documents, customize the template icons, mark templates as popular

We all know that the road to becoming advanced in a specific subject is a long one. But it doesn’t need to be difficult!

Your journey into defining the look and format of your documents with the use of CSS continues with another extensive tutorial, this time dedicated to the global page layout. This means that during this event, you will learn how to create and control PDF pages directly from CSS. To achieve this ability, we will focus on the following subjects:

• @page CSS at-rule
• Page-margin boxes
• Page-selectors (default, front-page, etc.)
• Page orientation
• Column-count
• Page-breaks
• Odd and even pages
