Right. You have to open a file with a lot of Xincludes with the option File >Open as Text. Then it opens right away but not in wysiwyg. The latest version of Serna is much faster than the older versions. There are things in Serna that bug me but they're working on it. Even in the cheaper version of Serna, you can do some customization.

They have some proprietary mechanism for handling use cases where you want to use a text entity for substitution purposes. Serna does the whole shebang and can be customized if you buy the most expensive version. In my experience, it can be very, like snail on downers wading through molasses after a rough night, slow to load large documents or documents that use a lot of xincludes to pull in content. Once the documents are loaded it works pretty well. If you don't need wysiwyg and you like free, Emacs with NXML mode is fast, free, and easy to learn. > -----Original Message----- > From: Eckel, George [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2007 10:29 AM > To: PeeKay; [email protected] > Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] Docbook Editors > > > The least expensive and best wysiwyg xml authoring tool is Serna by > Syntext.
