RE: Open Source XML Editor



Title: RE: Open Source XML Editor
I've just been informed that XMetaL can do this kind of thing (and is way better than the competition, I'm reliably (?) informed ;-)
 
Cheers,
Danny.

Merlot doesn't go quite this far, but it does support plugins in the
form of code bundled with a DTD, so that the editor can become very
customized for each DTD.

SoftQuad XMetal and Arbortext Epic can do this, but require a lot of
DTD-specific customization.  It's kindof hard to imagine a "wizard"
that could understand a DTD or schema well enough to do this
automatically ... but would be a wonderful innovation!
