Working with Archives

Describes the archive support available in Oxygen XML Editor.

Oxygen XML Editor offers the means to manipulate files directly from ZIP type archives (for example, opening and saving files directly in archives, or browsing and modifying archive structures). The archive support is available for all ZIP-type archives, including:

• ZIP archives
• EPUB books
• JAR archives
• Office Open XML (OOXML) files
• Open Document Format (ODF) files
• IDML files

This allows you to modify, transform, or validate files directly from OOXML or ODF packages. The structure and content of an EPUB book, OOXML file, or ODF file can be opened, edited, and saved, like any other ZIP archive.

You can transform, validate, and perform many other operations on files directly from an archive. When selecting a URL for a specific operation (such as a transformation or validation), you can click the Browse for archived file button to navigate and choose the file from a particular archive.
