The software makes content authors more productive, excels at editing a mix of XML documents and data, features an integrated spreadsheet engine, offers a word processor-like view mode, and it's highly extensible through plugins.

The software offers support for a wide range of document types, including DITA versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2, DocBook versions 4 and 5, XHTML versions 1.0, 1.1 and 5.0, as well as MathML 2.0 Presentation Markup. It can be used with a custom schema or without a schema.

The DTD (XML 1.0), W3C XML Schema 1.0, RELAX NG, Schematron, XInclude 1.0, XML catalogs, CSS 2.1, XSLT versions 1.0 and 2.0, as well as the < ?xml-model? > and < ?xml-stylesheet? > processing-instructions are among the standards supported by the XMLmind XML Editor application.

Among numerous amazing features, the application also offers attractive export and import capabilities, such as the ability to convert XML documents to various HTML-based formats like XHTML 5, HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0/1.1, Web Help, HTML Help, Eclipse Help, Java Help, EPUB 2 and EPUB 3, to PostScript (PS) and PDF documents, or to LibreOffice, Apache OpenOffice or Microsoft Word documents.

On the other hand, it supports importing of common image file formats, such as JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), EPS or PDF, supports importing of Microsoft Word documents, and supports importing of documents from other word processors, spreadsheets or web browsers.
