Editing the xml files should now be VERY easy with just about any xml editor. Publican REQUIRES that all xml files have a DTD declaration at the top. This should make every file acceptable to any xml editor.
Windows installation is very easy. the instructions are at http://jfearn.fedorapeople.org/en-US/Publican/2.7/html/Users_Guide/chap-Users_Guide-Installing_Publican.html#sect-Users_Guide-Installing_Publican-Windows_operating_systems. I can help you with the terminology. There are only about 3-4 terms that you have to understand and some things about how the system works. Then you can be off and running. What I will do is to create a snapshot of the documentation trunk and set it up on SVN. As I work through converting each document we can coordinate the conversion. I will build a sandbox today or tomorrow. David Ashley On Thu, 2012-08-09 at 12:22 -0400, Rick McGuire wrote: > A brief search suggests the free XML Copy Editor might work with these > files.
