Oxygen XML Author 25.0
xygen XML Author version 25.0 provides a platform to work both with XML and XML-related resources by extending its support to other languages such as JSON and YAML, and being able to treat some file types (Word, Excel, OpenAPI, HTML, Markdown, and others) as DITA-compatible resources and thus reference and use them from DITA maps, similar to how XML DITA topics are referenced and used.
The performance when working with DITA was improved, as large maps and topics are now opened more quickly by having content references and included content expanded on-demand. The DITA map validation tool automatically validates topics that reference Relax NG schemas and it also detects if a related link points to a topic that is not included in the current map.
DITA publishing benefits from performance improvements, you can generate Google Structured Data in WebHelp output, and you can now generate PDF/A-compliant PDFs in CSS-based PDF output.
The Git Client, Batch Documents Converter, and Terminology Checker add-ons received lots of improvements, a new command-line script can be used to validate files or directories, and as usual, this release includes new API entry points, various bug fixes, and component updates.
