The best commercial XML editor is oxygenxml IMHO. If you need free, look at
xmlmind.

Hello Thomas,
I'm just curious:
- Which editor(s) (including commercial one(s)) do you usually use to
create XML source for Ctx? (Under Windows?)
- XML input vs. .tex (.cld) source:
IMHO, when one needs to program parts of Ctx source, it's better to use
TeX source/language combined with Lua or CLD.
Or - is it possible to program anyhow in XML source (Lua)?
I have no practical experience with (manual) creation of XML input
files for Ctx (yes, of course, there are some .xml sources generated by
other programs).
So, I can imagine one prepares source for Ctx as XML when he creates
something belletristic-like;
when one needs to process many products of other programs, plus to add
comments, reports or so, something programmable is necessary;
so, IMHO, XML might be useful for the latter case providing a)
programming capabilities and b) good XML editor.
Best regards,
Lukas

To chime in: xml input facilitates the separation of content and
display. There are many tools which will validate xml as you type. Your
context skills will not be lost - if you have invested years in
learning to code, you will still be able to do this in your environment
files. John's argument does not make sense to me. If someone new to
context asked me, I think I would advise her or him to use xml input
which is more versatile and easier to proofread for a beginner. And if
one day in 20 years she decides she wants to use another tool for her
files, it’s much easier to convert xml.
