Summary Re: [gentoo-user] XML editor

2008-02-23 Thread Ralf Stephan
Many thanks for the answers. Unfortunately, nothing really
fit my needs, so programming it'll have to be ...

In summary, the editors are helpful in visualizing doc structure
and oXygen has the most features, while for docbook the specialized
apps may be better. Amaya is no longer in gentoo (I recall it the
editor of choice for MathML). After oXygen, I'd have liked xxe best,
as it doesn't draw a rat tail of KDE, GNOME or wxWidgets dependencies
but that's only because I have java handy.

I know that you're looking for a free XML editor, and I'm not sure how
full-featured an editor you need.

But for the record and those googl'ing for XML editors, I can say that
I've tried most of the open source xml editors out there. I need a
full-featured XML editor, one with an xslt debugger, css WYSIWYG
presentation of xml documents, handles schema/relaxng, everything you
can think of. And the one that is multi-platform (written in Java)
that fits those needs *and* is affordable is :
http://www.oxygenxml.com/. A personal or academic license is only $48
and even a business license isn't outrageous (~$300). If you are doing
serious xml development (and not simply document markup), then this is
one that I have found to be a practical solution.

Hello,
I'm looking for a free XML editor, may be native or even under

Is there an app that I can use for this without programming effort?

kxmleditor is a kde application available from portage.
From what I can see, it allows you to build an xml file using a natural tree 
structure, or view the raw text, as you prefer. It's not in that large list 
as far as I can see. Is this what you want?

I've had a brief "play" with Jaxe - but it didn't "feel" ideal... I 
found the interface a bit clumsy - though maybe I could configure that 
better with a little effort.

My favorite one is Komodo, but you cannot speak about an XML editor
anymore: it's more likely a XML IDE :-)

It's shareware, but only cost about $20 -and damn, it's woth them!
Check out ActiveState's website for more info ans a free trial.

For a WYSIWYG-based XML editor, check out Vex. 

http://vex.sourceforge.net/

It lets you define a custom DTD and CSS for an XML file. One nice
thing about Vex is that it doesn't make you type XML tags manually.
The program presents a list of valid elements based on the DTD, then
you just pick which you want. This also cuts down on potential errors.

I'm also looking for one that does WYSIWYG based on arbitrary XSLTs.
Anyway, I've looked around and found a few things.

Jaxe looks like a promising possibility, over at

[gentoo-user] XML Editor

2005-05-11 Thread Steve [Gentoo]
I have a few bespoke XML schema specs, and I want to find a generic tool 
to construct XML files which are syntactically valid with respect to the 
schema specs.
The schemas represent data-structures for domain specific records with 
moderately complex structure.  It would not make sense to use a WYSIWYG 
editor as the XML tags don't correspond to textual mark-up... I don't 
want to use a text-editor as it would be time-consuming to manually type 
the tag and attribute names... as well as being more error prone and 
less productive to batch validate.
Are there any such tools available for Gentoo?
