XMLmind XML Editor 5.2.1

XMLmind XML Editor is a multi-platform and highly-extensible XML editor and validator with a word processor-like view.

XMLmind XML Editor is a powerful utility available in two editions: Standard Edition and Professional Edition. The Standard Edition is free of charge but has fewer features than Professional  Edition.

XMLmind XML Editor is not designed to be a tool for programmers, its users generally being technical writers.

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.
