Re: Ris: [xsl] suggestion for an xml editor, please?

Thatbs pretty basic functionality for an XML editor.  I canbt speak to the
other suggestions, but Oxygen for sure will do exactly that.  You select a
chunk of text and then just double-click on the element you want to wrap it
in.  You can also switch back and forth between XML-encoding mode and plain
text mode, which is handy if you need to search/replace element attribute.
For example you could search on <emph render=italic and replace with <emph
render=bold

Subject: Ris: [xsl] suggestion for an xml editor, please?

Thanks All, this is all very useful.

One thing that would be very nice to have is the ability to select a section
of the text and assign it a code (the start and end of an xml tag, I mean) as
that would speed up the job quite a bit.

I will explore the suggestions received thus far, but if one of these software
has such a feature, I would put it at the top of my list.

Kind regards

Or, to be more precise, Emacs/nxml-mode (editing an XML document and
validating it against a RELAX NG compact syntax grammar as you go); there is
also Emacs/psgml-mode for editing an XML document and validating it against a
DTD.

I think what has been posted here about Emacs is correct b it is in some
ways the bbestb editor, for most anything. But it comes with a serious
downside, too: it is not like any other tool you use or will use, and thus it
is very difficult to learn to use well.
But MSMcQbs point about macro language is a very good one, IMHO. (I may be
mildly biased having also grown up on XEDIT & Rexx : -)

All that said, I also use oXygen. It is not perfect and has a lot of features
I could not care less about, but I have never seen a commercial XML editor
with a price/feature ratio anywhere near as good as oXygenbs.
