XXE is ok for validating XML or working on small config files (like Jetspeed config files ;) but it's not a word processor and doesn't pretend to be one.
XXE's great advantage is being able to apply a stylesheet to an XML doc on the fly, so it has some sense of WYSIWYG, but it's slow and awkward and not well suited to writing technical prose. Also, in looking at XML editors for documents, keep in mind that while <em>emphasis</em> would be expected in-line, most XML editors will break it out and indent it because it is an element. We had this discussion on the now defunct Linux-Hack writers' mailing list, and the best alternative anyone could find was LyX, and even that was only a partial solution. According to XMLHack today, the OpenOffice.org presentation at XML2002 suggests OOo will not become a DocBook editor but is only interested in becoming a new standard XML for office documents, whereas MSWord wants to be a flexible any-kind-of-XML editor. -- Gary Lawrence Murphy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - TeleDynamics Communications - blog: http://www.teledyn.com/mt/ - biz: http://teledyn.com/ - "Computers are useless.
