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

["Jean-Paul Rehr rehrjb@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm generally inclined to open source. But as Syd has said, Oxygen is
one application where the value for money is really top notch, particularly
if you are a student or academic with reduced license cost.

In terms of functions, in Oxygen XML documents you can select text (or
mixed node content), click CTRL + E and wrap it in whatever tag you type
in. You can also create your own code fragments, store them, and call with
CTRL + D. If you are an academic the reduced licence fees are very little
compared to the value.

Oxygen also has lots of training videos for XML beginners.
