This is *exactly* what we want to do in XXE V2.6: no built-in TIFF support but a "relatively effortless" way of customization to add this functionality. > a 2nd question: > from the XXE-features: > "Multiple, synchronized, views can be used to edit the same document, for > example: a tree view showing XML nodes, a word processor-like view and > another styled view only showing section titles." > > I browsed the documentation but didn't find any example to create (and use) > multiple styled views of the same document - any pointers highly > appreciated! XXE V2 offers no convenient way to work with multiple styled views of the same document (because, we would like to convince authors that working with multiple styled views of the same document is not the most productive way to author documents.) However XXE indeed natively supports this feature. The basic idea is to load several CSS style sheets for the same document (using the Style menu) and then ''to tile'' the different windows. Example: [1] Start XXE. [2] Make sure that toggle 'Change style sheet rather than add a view' is *not checked* (Options|Options, Window tab). [3] Open <XXE_install_directory>/demo/bugreport.xml because this document happens to have 2 different style sheets: 'bugreport' and 'xmldata'. [4] By default, bugreport.xml is displayed using the CSS style sheet called 'bugreport'. Use the Style menu to select 'xmldata'. A new window styled using 'xmldata' is opened. Previous window styled using 'bugreport' is hidden below the newly opened window. [5] Use Window|Tile Horizontally to display both windows side by side. [6] Edit the document using any of these windows and watch the effect of the other one. bugreport.xml is just a demo. There is no XXE configuration file associated to this class of document. The CSS style sheets are directly referenced in bugreport.xml using the standard <?xml-stylesheet?> processing-instruction: --- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="bugreport/bugreport.css"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="bugreport/xmldata.css" alternate="yes"?> <bugReports xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/bugreport bugreport/bugreport.xsd" xmlns="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/bugreport"; xmlns:html="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/xhtml"; xmlns:br="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/bugreport";> . . . </bugReports> --- If you want to associate several style sheets to a class of document, it is recommended to write a configuration file containing several <css> configuration elements.
