Mike, Have you looked at Wattles Software's XMLWriter? It is inexpensive, functions great, and their support is fantastic.

Too expensive for my team though. I've never got on that well with Emacs either. Most of my collegues are Windows users and are going to need something more WYSIWYG. I'm going to look into XXE in the next couple of days. Does anyone have any other suggestions that can deal with? - Skeletal Structure support - Real Time Validation - Contextual elements support - WYSIWYG/Document view/edit - Win32 or Java based TIA MikeD On Fri, 23 Jul 2004 12:26:15 +0900, "Michael Smith" <smith@xml-doc.org> said:Mike, Have you considered having your authors work from a template that had a skeletal structure with <section role="topic"> etc. already in place? Also, what editing application you plan to have your authors use? Some editors provide a way to define and insert boilerplate text. So you distribute a customized version of the editor that had an "Insert Topic" menu item somewhere, and your authors could just select that to insert a skeletal "topic" structure for each new topic they want to add. I'm pretty sure you could set up Arbortext Epic to do something like that. Maybe you can with some of the other commercial apps. And I'm sure you can with Emacs, because I use it and have it set up with an custom menu for inserting skeletal DocBook structures for all kinds of stuff (specialized refentries, procedures, figures. |
