Document! X delivers the best of both worlds by seamlessly combining automatic documentation of XML Schemas – or implied schemas direct from XML Files – with a full WYSIWYG authoring environment.

The generated XSD diagrams and documentation form a comprehensive documentation set covering Elements; Complex Types, Simple Types, and Groups; Attributes and Attribute Groups; and Constraints and Facets.

Extend XML Annotation Descriptions in your XSD using the Document! X Content File Editor.

Content Authoring Options

If you have already defined descriptions in your XSD (XML Schema Definition) in the form of Annotation Descriptions, Document! X can use them as summary text for the generated documentation and you can view the descriptions while you are editing to spot areas that need expansion and to avoid duplication.

You can also author content in your XSD Source and/or use the rich authoring environment of the Document! X Content File Editor. This flexibility allows you to include basic documentation in the source code and use the feature-rich Document! X Content File Editor to author extended content.

Template-Based Customization

  • Create new comment types for use in source code comments.
  • Adapt existing templates to match your existing corporate style and color scheme.
  • Customize Table of Contents definitions according to your requirements.
  • Fine tune the standard phrases and terminology used by Document! X to match your standards.

Authoring Examples

The easy-to-use Example Code Designer included in the Content Editors makes adding multi-language examples a breeze. In-line or linked examples can be created and example code is automatically colorized in the generated output.

Localization

Document! X supports several different languages (English, French, German, Dutch, Italian, and Russian) for the phrases used in the generated output. All of the phrases and terminology in the generated output can be configured according to preference.

Document! X allows you to author content for multiple languages within a single project, showing you an embedded tip for the primary locale content when you are authoring in the Content File Editor for a secondary locale. If you use the Document! X and HelpStudio bundle you can export and import your localized content in XLIFF format; the industry standard for sharing content with translation providers.
