Document Types (Frameworks)

A document type or framework is associated to an XML file according to a set of rules. It also includes a variety of settings that improve editing capabilities in the Author mode for its particular file type. These settings include:

• A default grammar used for validation and content completion in both Author mode and Text mode.
• CSS stylesheets for rendering XML documents in Author mode.
• User actions invoked from toolbars or menus in Author mode.
• Predefined scenarios used for transformations for the class of XML documents defined by the document type.
• XML catalogs.
• Directories with file templates.
• User-defined extensions for customizing the interaction with the content author in Author mode.

Oxygen XML Author includes built-in support for many common document types. Each document type is defined in a framework. You can create new frameworks or make changes to existing frameworks to suit your individual requirements.
