Well, they give you _a_ rendered view anyway. Lists look like lists,
tables look like tables (and you can drag column borders to change
widths), images are rendered in place. Serna uses xsl/xsl-fo to drive
its rendered view. XXE and XMetaL use CSS with some extensions. You
might have buttons to show or hide certain content (e.g. <remark>s, and
internal or reviewer only content) that likewise may or may not be shown
in a given output. Our inline glossterms are light green in the editor
(as a convenience to the writer) but are not formatted at all in pdf and
show up as tooltip popups with light underlining in html. XXE and (I
think) Serna can show you xincluded text inline and (again I think) let
you edit it in place.

Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Docbook Editors
How can XML editors be WYSIWYG, when there's no way to tell what
a document will look like after XSLT?
Or do they basically do "on-the-fly" transformations, to preview
what it will look like in HTML, in print, etc.?
Just curious.

similar to DocBook and those macros and features can be
converted by
renaming some elements. XMLMind's XXE and Syntext's
Serna offer much
better DocBook support out of the box. I know
Arbortext's Epic has
DocBook support, but I'm not sure what it has out of the
box wrt
convenience macros. I think those are the main four
commercial wysiwyg
editors these days.
