Save it externally in a separate framework folder in the
OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks directory.
Important: In
order for this approach to work you will need to have
Oxygen XML Author
installed to
a folder with full write access.
Please see the following steps:
- Create a new directory in the OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks for
your new framework. This directory will contain resources for your framework (CSS
files, new file templates, schemas used for validation, catalogs). See the
Docbook framework structure from the
OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/docbook as an example.
- Create your new custom document type and save it external in the newly created
framework directory (with a name like custom.framework).
- Configure the custom document type according to your needs, take special care to
make all file references relative to the
OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks directory by using the
${frameworks} editor variable. The Author Developer Guide contains all
details necessary for creating and configuring a new document type.
- If everything went fine then you should have a new configuration file saved in:
OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/your_framework_dir/custom.framework
after the Preferences are saved.
- You can then share the new framework directory with other users (have them copy it
to their OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks directory) and the new
document type will be available in the list of Document Types when
Oxygen XML Author
is
started.
