Oxygen XML Author plugin 13.2.0

3. What graphic formats can be directly rendered in the XML Author component?GIF, JPEG, PNG, BMP and SVG.Author Developer Guide | 2654. Can links be embedded to retrieve (from the server) and "play" other types of digital assets, such as audio or videofiles?You could add listeners to intercept clicks and open the clicked links. This would require a good knowledge of theAuthor SDK. The Author component can only render static images (no GIF animations).5. Does the XML Author component provide methods for uploading ancillary files (new graphics, for instance) to thehosting server?No.6. Does the XML Author component provide any type of autosave functionality?By default no but you could customize the applet that contains the author component to save its content periodicallyto a file on disk.7. Assuming multiple documents can be edited simultaneously, can content be copied, cut and pasted from one XMLAuthor component "instance" to another?Yes.8. Does the XML Author component support pasting content from external sources (such as a web page or a MicrosoftWord document and, if so, to what extent?If no customizations are available the content is pasted as simple text. We provide customizations for the majorframeworks (DITA, Docbook, TEI, etc) which use a conversion XSLT stylesheet to convert HTML content fromclipboard to the target XML.9. Can UTF-8 characters (such as Greeks, mathematical symbols, etc.) be inserted and rendered?Any UTF-8 character can be inserted and rendered as long as the font used for editing supports rendering thecharacters. The font can be changed by the developers but not by the users. When using a logical font (which bydefault is Serif for the Author component) the JVM will know how to map all characters to glyphs. There is nocharacter map available but you could implement oneCustomization1. Please describe, in very general terms, the menus, toolbars, context menu options, "helper panes", etc. that areavailable for the XML Author component "out of the box".You can mount on your custom toolbar all actions available in the standalone Oxygen application for editing in theAuthor page. This includes custom actions defined in the framework customized for each XML type.The Author component also can provide the Outline, Model, Elements and Attributes views which can be added toyour own panels (see sample applet).2. Please describe, in general terms, the actions, project resources (e.g., DTD/Schema for validation purposes, CSS/XSLfor styling, etc.) and typical level of effort that would be required to deploy a XML Author component solution fora customer with a proprietary DTD.The Author internal engine uses CSS to render XML.For a special type of XML you can create a custom framework (which also works in an Oxygen standalone version)which would also contain default schemas and custom actions. A simple framework would probably need 2-3 weeksdevelopment time. For a complex framework with many custom actions it could take a couple of months. Oxygenalready has frameworks for editing Docbook, DITA, TEI, etc. Sources for them are available in the Author SDK.More than one framework can coexist in the same Oxygen instance (the desktop standalone version or the appletversion) and can be used at the same time for editing XML documents.
