This is a planned feature (before end of year) but * Technically it will not be an applet. It will require users to install the Java plug-in in their browser. * The XXE available as an ``applet'' will probably have a simpler GUI (e.g. not multi-document, multi-view) than the non-applet XXE (I'm speaking about the product which will be released in the next few days). > 2) Has anyone used XXE to edit TEI documents? How well does it work for this > kind of XML doc? XXE is a generic XML editor designed to adapt to any DTD or XML Schema. If it does not work fine with TEI then it's a bug we'll fix ASAP! In practice, a good soul will just have to write a CSS style sheet for TEI (from 2 hours to 2 days of work depending on the complexity of the grammar) plus one or two document templates (5mn each) in order to make XXE usable for TEI.
