ER I recommend. ER apt-get install emacs20 ER apt-get install psgml ER Psgml parses XML and gives it color. With a DTD you can find out what ER elements are valid. ER I think there is also a debian-sgml list. You have forgotten apt-get install tdtd :) Without it emacs doesn't provide DTD edition mode. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Ilya Martynov (http://martynov.org/)| | GnuPG 1024D/323BDEE6 D7F7 561E 4C1D 8A15 8E80 E4AE BE1A 53EB 323B DEE6 | | AGAVA Software Company (http://www.agava.com/) | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Re: Starting with XML
I don't know if it has been mentioned but you can also check out the package xae, which is an emacs-based XML IDE, by the same person who wrote jde (an emacs Java IDE). -Glenn On 26 Jun 2001, Ilya Martynov wrote: ER I recommend.

XML files are just text files. You can read and create them with your favorite text editor. See www.xml.com for more info. noah -- ___ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html pgpArc7hmXUSq.pgp Description: PGP signature
Starting with XML
Hi, In my job I now need to transfer data between application using XML. As an absolute beginner in this field I'm asking you the very very basic of XML. As far as I know having leafed through debian documentation XML as a tagged language is a subset of SGML therefore: 1) What deb packages should I install to build and view XML documents? 2) Where can I find documentation both on the packages themselves and, above all, on XML?
