[gentoo-user] XML editor

[gentoo-user] XML editor

[Ralf Stephan]

Hello,
I'm looking for a free XML editor, may be native or even under
Wine, that works well and helps with, for example, presenting
the content of all <emph> tags as a list, selecting a subset of
them, and changing the subset markup to <placeName rend="bold">.

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


Regards,
ralf

Not sure if Quanta will do what you're after?  I recall it has some XML code 
in there, but don't know if it offers the functionality you want.

Oh, forgot to say that I don't want to install KDE, sorry.

Hi Ralf,

what's about Amaya? This is an editor for not only XML, but it maybe suites your
needs.
Here is a link http://www.w3.org/Amaya/ .

If you don't want kde stuff, there are at least four other XML editors in 
portage to try. You might like one of them :-)

Hope this helps.

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 <oXygen/>:
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.

Summary Re: [gentoo-user] XML editor

[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.
