--> I understand your problem. In fact with a first line like this: --- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> --- many Web browsers display an XML source code view instead of a normal HTML page. --> However there is a big problem implementing what you request: * <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> is there because you have not chosen a different default encoding for saved file (Options|Options, Save section). If you had chosen "ISO-8859-1", you would have had <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> * Without <?xml...?> XXE will assume that the XML document being opened is encoded using UTF-8 (to make it simple). That is, unless the XML document being opened is encoded using UTF-8, XXE (being an XML editor and not a Web browser which can make use of the <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"/>) really, really needs <?xml...?>. --> What you want is best implemented using a customization of XXE: [1] You'll need to force the use UTF-8 using configuration element <saveOptions encoding="UTF-8"/>. [2] You'll write a DocumentHook in Java[tm] and declare it using the <documentHook> configuration element. This documentHook automatically replaces '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>' by '<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />' in the saved XHTML file. --> References: * http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/saveOptions.html * http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/documentHook.html * http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dev/documenthook.html
