Product's homepage
Here are some key features of "XMLmind XML Editor":
· Supports the DTD, W3C XML Schema, RELAX NG schemas, XML namespace, XSLT, XPath, XInclude, XML catalog standards.
· Editing commands are DTD/schema aware. This makes creating invalid documents almost impossible.
· Word processor-like views are configured using cascading style sheets (CSS2).
· When a CSS style sheet is not available for a document, a fully editable tree view is used instead of the word processor-like view.
· Multiple, synchronized, views can be used to edit the same document.
· Standard controls such as buttons, check boxes, combo boxes, text fields, etc, can be embedded in the word processor-like view. With this feature, XXE can be used to edit XML data, XML documents or a mix of both content types.
