'~' is a shortcut which is understood by Unix shells as being the equivalent of $HOME. Out of this context, ?~/DTD/project1.dtd? cannot really be considered as being a valid filename. > 2) I also have a need to be able to browse for a DTD file if the one > listed in the xml file can?t be found. Do you know how I can browse for > a dtd file? XMLmind XML Editor has not be designed to allow that[*]. XMLmind XML Editor has been designed to allow non-technical persons to author complex documents (prose), in a production environment. XMLmind XML Editor uses ``configurations'' to implement that. First of all, a configuration teaches XXE to recognize documents belonging to a given type. After that, among many other things, a configuration may be used to automatically associate a schema to an XML document having no <!DOCTYPE>, no xsi:schemaLocations, etc. Part of the configuration, you'll often find an XML catalog which, for example, may be used to map the public ID of a DTD to a local copy, no matter what is found in system ID (e.g. "yyy" in '<!DOCTYPE root PUBLIC "xxx" "yyy">').

I guess you are using the tree view. I'm not 100% sure to understand but, no, there is no bug here. In the case of a text node, lines are always wrapped. - For an element having xml:space="preserve", we use character wrap. - For other elements, we use word wrap. Why? Simply because we don't like endless horizontal scroll bars. In the case of an attribute value, what you see is just a *non-editable* *view* of the attributes of an element. The real attribute editor is the "Attributes Tool" found at the left of the main window. But you are right: we should wrap long attribute values here too. > Does it get fixed in the Professional Edition? --- [*] The words "XML Editor" in the product name do not imply that products such as XMLSpy, Oxygen or Stylus Studio are our competitors.
