Yes; thanks for your comments. I have indeed been using the text (tab-delimited Q/A), creating separate files for categories and importing. That works quite well (I have been making a German database, and have been able to add 5-10 words every couple of days). It is also quite easy within Mnemosyne to change category assignments. So I think this is a sufficient and practical solution.
I just wanted to close the loop since there had been a comment to my prior question with a possiblity of importing different categories from one file. Apparently this function is not available when importing text, but may be available via XML ( nd this is the part I wanted to follow up on) . So I went online and looked for XML editors, and its a large list. They also have seem to have quite different interfaces and functionalities. Therefore I was wondering if there is a particular XML software that is well-suited for Mnemosyne?
