Most editors will be syntax aware and colourise/indent XSLT. But what they
donbt do is perform any analysis of variables and named templates used and
referenced as well as duplicates. For example, duplicates and undeclared
variables. As far as I know the only one is the oXygen editor. There are
almost certainly others and would be more than happy to be proved wrong.
