RE: DOCBOOK: DOCBOOK IDE??

[Peter Ring <pri at magnus dot dk>]

If you want to avoid XML editors, why then use DocBook (or any other
doctype)?

If you just want a free and generally useful document editor/formatter, try
OpenOffice. 

If you, after all, do want XML and don't mind spending a little money, try
WordPerfect (yes it does DocBook XML).

If you don't mind spending some more money, try FrameMaker 7.0. It'll
probably publish to many of the formats that you want.

If you have big money to spend, ArborText will provide a complete solution.

If you want a free DocBook IDE, running on Windows, try emacs + psgml. See
e.g. 

  http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/hoenicka_markus/ntsgml.html
  http://xae.sunsite.dk/
  http://www.tei-c.org/Software/

Or perhaps give Java-based (but fast) XXE a try

  http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/ and
  http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/xslutility.html
  

If you want even more handholding wrt. publishing, don't mind paying a few
bucks), but still want to stick with open-source tools, try

Some more low-price DocBook capable editors (that will also publish a bit):

  http://www.morphon.com/
  http://www.epcedit.com/

And a popular (and cheaper than ArborText Epic) Windows-based XML document
editor:

  http://www.xmetal.com

which could be conveniently integrated with a content management and
publishing system, e.g. low-cost

Hello:
      Exists any DocBook IDE to write documents and publish it to
      different formats? I don't want an XML editor, I want a DocBook
      specific solution. Windows preferred, please.


Regards.
