Please tell me What Editor you were using for DITA ?

As much as I love the old darling... I don't think that I'm going to be using it after the next year or so (barring certain types of clients). It's got too far to go to even catch up with current, top-notch XML editor standards; and it doesn't seem to be moving the bar very far for multiple modern output formats. (FWIW, that's why I was off-list for almost six years: working long-term for a client that's on DITA and uses a seriously robust editor.) _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as neat_gent at yahoo.com.
