It depends to some extent on platform. Since I primarily use Linux,
I use gvim (a text editor with syntax colouring) and xxe (a free Java
product from Active Minds). I plan to look at XML authoring tools in
more detail next month, though, both on Linux and under Windows 2k/xp.
On other platforms (e.g. Solaris), Arbortext (www.arbortext.com) has
some XML editing ("development") software, and Adobe has FrameMaker;
both of these are very mature. SoftQuad's Author/Editor was bought
by Interleaf, who were bought by BroadVision, who seemed not to
want Author/Editor, so that one has vanished I think. There's one
called oXygen that posts announcements to xml-dev, and another from
Stilo in the UK... a quick look at Robin Cover's "Cover Pages" will
get you more.
I dont know if any support the QNX operating system dierctly.
The best tool for you depends on exactly what you are doing, on your
environment and your background.
Best,
Liam
