Randomize XML Text Content
Oxygen XML Editor includes an action that randomizes the text content of an XML
document. This action is available in the menu. It is helpful if you need to send XML samples to the Oxygen
support team and you want to keep the text content confidential. It opens a dialog box that
allows you to select the resources that will have the text content randomized. You can then
save the resources and send them to the Oxygen support team without fear of
compromising sensitive or private data.
Warning: Before using this action, it is
highly recommended that you copy the XML resources to be processed, save them in a separate
folder, and then perform this operation on the copies instead of the original files.
Otherwise, you may lose your original content.
The Randomize XML Text Content dialog box includes the following options:
- Scope
- Allows you to select the set of files whose text content will be randomized by the operation. You can select from predefined resource sets (such as the current file, your whole project, the current DITA map hierarchy for DITA projects, etc.) or you can define your own set of resources by creating a working set.
- Filters
- This section includes the following options:
- Include files - Allows you to filter the selected resources by using a file pattern. For example, to restrict the operation to only analyze build files you could use build*.xml for the file pattern.
- Restrict only to known XML file types - When selected, only resources with a known XML file type will be affected by the operation.
- Look inside archives - When selected, the resources inside archives will also be affected.
