What's New in Oxygen PDF Chemistry 20.0
March 16, 2018
Related version: 20.1
Oxygen PDF Chemistry now comes bundled with the standard distributions of Oxygen XML Editor/Author and provides the ability to obtain PDF output from HTML or XML documents simply by styling them with CSS. It allows you to leverage your CSS knowledge to create printable deliverables and is particularly useful for generating technical documentation. Version 20.0 includes a variety of improvements that make styling PDF output even more simple, efficient, and powerful.
Oxygen PDF Chemistry
New CSS Extension Properties to Control Page Sequence Placement
Two new CSS extension properties were added (-oxy-initial-page-number, -oxy-force-page-count). For instance, these allow you to
specify whether chapters should start (or end) at odd or even pages, and additional blank
pages will be added if needed.
Added -oxy-page-group CSS Extension Property for Forcing Page Sequence Breaks
Chemistry now fully implements the W3C specification regarding the page
sequence breaks between elements that have different page names. Elements in a sequence
that use the same page name are left in the same page sequence (group). If you need to
change this behavior (i.e. to create a new sequence for each element even if it has the
same page as the one before it), you can use the -oxy-page-group : start CSS extension property.
Support for PDF Named Destinations
Chemistry now supports named destinations, providing a way to
link to a particular anchor within a PDF document. For any element with an ID attribute,
you can create a link to its PDF location using '#id' as an anchor into the PDF URL. For
example: http://example.com/sample.pdf#introduction.
Support for transform CSS Property
Chemistry supports the transform CSS property for page margin
boxes. This is helpful for creating vertical text around the page.
Enhanced Hyphenation Properties
Hyphenation properties can now be applied also to inline
elements.
Aggressive Hyphenation
When hyphenation is enabled, Chemistry adds hyphenation breaking points after
underscores, dots, and before case changes, in addition to the ones driven by
dictionaries. This is useful when your publication contains snippets of code (Java,
etc).
Additional Hyphenation CSS Extension Properties
Some hyphenation CSS extension properties were added (-oxy-hyphenation-character, -oxy-hyphenation-push-character-count, -oxy-hyphenation-remain-character-count). These allow you to
control the number of characters remaining before or after the break position as well as
the hyphenation symbol.
Support for overflow-wrap CSS Property
Chemistry now supports the overflow-wrap:break-word CSS
property.
Compact Large Tables
You now have the possibility to use hyphenation in tables when the layout is
set to automatic. This is helpful for compacting large tables that bleed out of the page
space.
Table Column Styling Improvements
The properties set on a column element (with
display:table-column) are applied to the cells from the corresponding
column.
Support for font-variant CSS Property
Chemistry now supports the font-variant:small-caps CSS
property.
