DITA Prolog Updater Add-on

Edit online

Oxygen XML Editor offers an add-on that contributes a preferences page (Options > Preferences > Plugins > DITA Prolog Updater) that includes various options for updating the prolog section of a DITA topic or map. The preferences page includes the following options that can be set for DITA topics or maps (or both):

• Author - Specifies the name of the author. By default, it is the system user name.
• Enable automatic prolog update on save - When this option is selected, the prolog is updated anytime the document is saved.
• Set creator name - When this option is selected, the author is set as the document's creator in the prolog when the document is saved. This option is only applicable for new documents.
• Set created date - When this option is selected, a created date is added to the prolog when the document is saved. This option is only applicable for new documents.
• Update contributor names - When this option is selected, the author is set as a contributor in the prolog when the document is saved. This option is only applicable for already existing documents.
• Update revised dates: When this option is selected, a revised date is added to the prolog when the document is saved. This option is only applicable for already existing documents.
