Hi Hussain,
Thanks for the quick feedback.
Putting data into table-like interfaces is something I do frequently,
especially in situations where the XML is used in a CMS; people want
WYSIWYG, and it would really excel XmlMind if so was possible.
Quite often what I want would be the same as a content area and a
sidebar area, in which both you can edit XML content. Any thoughts on
this matter, even if for future features? If I make a Java plugin,
could it be feasable to interact with the rendering engine?
Sorry if my questions are confusing and trivial.
Kind regards,
Alexander
