Completely transform your XML/DITA authoring experience with a slew of features for structured content creation. Perform a comprehensive list of XML-related activities natively, and create content without having to switch windows.
Native XML Code View
Dive directly into XML code using the Code View. Transform all menus and toolbars to enable comprehensive XML code control with a single click. Manage XML documents better with a host of editing features, including inline attribute editor, automated tracking of errors, Intelliprompt of attributes, search using XPath queries, and advanced XSLT features.
XSLT 2.0 support
Create a variety of transformation scenarios by applying pre-defined or customized XSLT to XML files. Execute these transformations using a range of JAXP-compliant processors, such as Xalan and Saxon. Define the scope of the transformation—a file, all files of a folder, DITA map or all children of a book.
XPath 2.0 support
Eliminate the need to browse through numerous lines of XML code. Use the XPath Pod to find your elements and automatically apply functions to them. Customize your query builder, get suggestions, define the scope of queries, use the history dropdown feature, and save search results for greater productivity.
Comprehensive DITA support
Meet consistency and authoring needs as well as specific output requirements. Create customized information models with automatic generation of DITA 1.2 elements (such as titles, tables of content and indexes), page rounding and numbering. Easily publish DITA maps to various output formats.
Author View
Focus on writing without bothering about page breaks and text formatting. Use the Author View to speed up content creation prior to customizing appearance and output.
Rapid authoring
Speed up XML authoring with a range of productivity features such as Intelliprompt of elements and attributes, template based structure suggestions, automatic insertion of end tags, dynamic validation, and pretty printing. Work faster with large XML/DITA files and DITA maps in multiauthoring environments.
Smart Paste
Author structured content faster. Convert unstructured content to a structured format with Smart Paste (Microsoft Word and Excel and HTML to DITA, and HTML tables to FrameMaker tables).
Quick Catalogs
Use Quick Catalogs for single-click insertion of the entire linear tree hierarchy of an element and applying styles to paragraphs, characters, variables, and conditional text.
WYSIWYG View
Prepare your documentation for publishing and sharing with the user community. Use the WYSIWYG View to apply and modify styles, themes, and formats. Render your content as intended and see it as your users will.
