Enhancements:
DocBook example:
<simpara>Energy is measured in joules (`J`): _E_ = ˝ _mv_^2^.</simpara>
is replaced by:
<simpara>Energy is measured in joules (<literal>J</literal>): <emphasis>E</emphasis> = ˝ <emphasis>mv</emphasis><superscript>2</superscript>.</simpara>
DITA example:
<p>1. <term>Dart</term> is a **programming language**. See [Dart](https://dart.dev/).</p>
is replaced by:
<ol compact="yes"> <li><term>Dart</term> is a <b>programming language</b>. See <xref href="https://dart.dev/" scope="external">Dart</xref>.</li> </ol>

by a "Parse Text as XML"
menu item. This variant differs from unmarkdown
in the following manner: if the caret is inside MathML elements
mml:mi or
mml:mn, pressing
Ctrl+Shift+Space
ignores Markdown
markup and instead replaces plain text math expressions (e.g.
x+1) by equivalent
MathML elements (e.g. <mml:mrow><mml:mi>x</mml:mi><mml:mo>+</mml:mo><mml:mn>1</mml:mn></mml:mrow>).Bug fixes:
These
messages are still printed unless the private OpenJDK Java™ 25 runtime
bundled with most distributions is used to run XXE.
By default, the java
command which is part of this private runtime has option
"--enable-native-access=ALL-UNNAMED,javafx.graphics,javafx.web,javafx.media".

Enhancements:
Note that the "Tools|Declare Namespace" dialog box may nevertheless display more namespaces than expected. These extra namespaces generally come from the template used to create the document and/or the schema used to validate it. However, when saving the document being edited, as of XXE v10.12, these namespaces are not necessarily all written to the save file.
predeclarePrefixPreferences="false"
save option to a number of XXE
configuration files. DocBook 5 example:<saveOptions predeclarePrefixPreferences="false" />
In previous versions of XXE, non-standard image formats were always converted to PNG even if the image toolkit plug-in had SVG support.
Note that, as of XXE v10.11, the conversion of DITA documents to other formats did not have that problem thanks to the enhancements made to XMLmind DITA Converter v3.17.
Remember that when there is no explicit text or node selection, the element containing the caret is said to be “implicitly selected”. Therefore, generally, clicking on a template replaces the element containing the caret and Ctrl-clicking on a template wraps the element containing the caret.
Bug fixes:
<mathphrase
role="tex">E=mc^2</mathphrase>) of this assembly were
not converted to PNG or SVG and this, even when new "JLaTeXMath
image toolkit plug-in" add-on was installed.math
element having attribute display="block"
had an incorrect layout in the styled view.<equation-block>
<mathml>
<m:math display="block"
xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">...</m:math>
</mathml>
<equation-number/>
</equation-block>In such
cases, the workaround was to change display="block"
to display="inline" but
this had the side effect of making the MathML math
element more compact.
LoadOptions.ADD_DECLARED_PREFIXES,
the XInclude processor discarded the prefix preferences coming from
transcluded content, which caused problems in very specific cases (e.g.
Assembly|Check
Assembly).Possible incompatibilities:
If you choose to use
these STIX fonts, you may have to add attribute mathvariant="normal"
to some <mi>
elements. Example, the STIX fonts cannot render the infinity symbol
U+221E in italic (the
default for all <mi>
elements), therefore you'll have to change <mi>∞</mi>
to <mi mathvariant="normal">∞</mi>.
Note that this is consistent with MathJax which
uses the same STIX fonts.
As of XXE v10.12, the XML formatting options found in the Preferences dialog box may not be used to override what's specified in the saveOptions configuration element. MathML example:
<saveOptions addOpenLines="false" predeclarePrefixPreferences="false" />
Even if you check "Add open lines", MathML files will not be saved with extra open lines.

Enhancements:
For now, only DITA and DocBook
documents may embed TeX/LaTeX math or reference “image files” containing
TeX/LaTeX math (".tex"
files). In order to make this easier, the following element templates:
foreign(tex),
equation-inline(tex),
equation-block(tex),
equation-block(number-tex),
equation-figure(tex),
were added to the DITA configuration and the following element
templates: inlineequation(tex),
informalequation(tex),
equation(tex), were
added to the DocBook configurations.
DITA examples:
<equation-figure>
<title>Euler equation</title>
<foreign outputclass="embed-latex">e^{\pi i} + 1 = 0</foreign>
</equation-figure>
<equation-inline><image href="images/eq4.tex"/></equation-inline>DocBook examples:

The "JLaTeXMath image toolkit plug-in", which is based on excellent open-source library JLaTeXMath, supports most LaTeX commands including:
- macros from amsmath and symbols from amssymb and stmaryrd
- TeX macro
\over- accents from amsxtra package
- macros
\definecolor,\textcolor,\colorboxand\fcolorboxfrom the package color- macros

<mathphrase role="tex">\[
\sum_{i = 1}^{ \left[ \frac{n}{2} \right] }
\binom{ x_{i, i + 1}^{i^{2}} }
{ \left[ \frac{i + 3}{3} \right] }
\frac{ \sqrt{ \mu(i)^{ \frac{3}{2}} (i^{2} - 1) } }
{ \sqrt[3]{\rho(i) - 2} + \sqrt[3]{\rho(i) - 1} }
\]</mathphrase>
</informalequation>image-viewport
now lets you specify a maximum image width or height as follows:
max(100),
max(100px),
max(1.5em),
max(5cm), etc.
Previous versions of XXE
only supported simple specifications like 100max
(equivalent to max(100px)).New
boolean interactive

default. When set to false,
the image viewport is not interactive, that is, double-clicking the
image does not nothing special, no drag handles to resize the image,
etc.

countWords.
This command counts the words and characters found in the explicit
text or node selection, if any, and in the whole document otherwise.
It then displays its results in the status line.sample_customize_xxe/imagetoolkits.incl"

based on Inkscape.
It converts WMF and EMF to SVG or PNG.In order to use the
imageToolkits declared inimagetoolkits.incl, you must have all required software installed on your computer and also uncomment this line found at the end of "sample_customize_xxe/customize.xxe":<!-- <include location="imagetoolkits.incl" /> -->

files.margin-left
example: "margin-left: 200px; margin-left: 55%;"
was parsed as "margin-left: 0"
because percentage margins are not supported by XXE
therefore margin-left
was reset to 0, the default value of this property. Now "margin-left: 200px; margin-left: 55%;"
is parsed as "margin-left: 200px"
and, of course, the unsupported value warning about "margin-left: 55%"
is still reported.Incompatibilities:

xxeconvert
command-line utility (which replaces the xxetool
command-line utility).As a consequence, this version 10 has a lot of regressions and incompatibilities with previous version 9. However please note that V10 is fully compatible with V9 in terms of use and configuration. All the incompatibilities are related to extension points written in the Java™ language like “native” commands and CSS stylesheet extensions. Porting these extensions from V9 to V10 should be pretty straightforward and is documented in XMLmind XML Editor - Developer's Guide.
Enhancements:

XXE will now keep “nagging the user” each time the application is started until all obsolete add-ons are upgraded or uninstalled (either automatically or “by hand”, using the "Install Add-ons" dialog box).
However
these new simplicity and reliability come at a price: using the
"Install Add-ons" dialog box,
it is no longer possible to install, uninstall or upgrade any of the
bundled add-ons found inside the XXE
