Peter, Josh,
- XML editing tools are more widely available. (Totally unconfirmed
assumption; I'm happy with what I have.)
Most XML tools I have ran into also support SGML.
Like which? I've been completely unable to find any tools more sophisticated
than Emacs+SGML that support SGML adequately to work on the PostgreSQL docs,
while there are literally dozens of XML editors ... including some GUI
editors ... which support DocBook XML.
Bluefish, Kate, Wordperfect. Wordperfect is likely the best Docbook
editor I have ever seen.
I have yet to see *any* tool for SGML which does more than validate tags. The
goal of DocBook XML would be to attract new Doc contributors (like *me*) by
allowing them to use tools which to not require them to spend more time
tagging their text than writing it.
I admit that I might have a different need then most people, as I am way
more familiar with docbook then I ever cared to be. I can just use Joe ;)
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
