Hello Hussein. I am finally getting time and making some progress in writing a format plugin. I have one difficulty: I need to be able to convert between a com.xmlmind.xmledit.doc.Document and an org.w3c.dom.Node or org.w3c.dom.Document. I am using the latter in transformations and the former are required by methods of the StructuredFormat interface. Such conversion should allow me to complete the format plugin. I may still have issues with extended attributes to the DocBook DTD, but I will let you know about these as - and if - they arise. Thanks once again for your help! Best, Carl

Do not hesitate to send me your XXE configurations (DTD, CSS, XSLT, etc) and even the Java code of your plug-in. I don't see any other way to help you, given the fact that you are doing pretty sophisticated things. > Should this be possible in the Standard Edition? What you want to do is possible with the Standard Edition.
