Support of DocBook and XHTML is not hard-wired in XMLmind XML Editor. We have just written a configuration file for DocBook and another one for XHTML and we have bundled these two configurations with our product. A configuration file is an XML file conforming to formal W3C XML Schema configuration.xsd. This file points to a schema, to CSS style sheets, to XSLT transformations, defines a menu, a toolbar, macro-commands, process commands, mouse and keyboard bindings, declares commands written in Java, etc. Third-party consultants can write configurations as advanced as the ones provided for DocBook (XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook/docbook.xxe) and XHTML (XXE_install_dir/addon/config/xhtml/xhtml_strict.xxe). How to do this is documented here: "XMLmind XML Editor - Configuration and Deployment" http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/index.html > We have our own XML document type that I'd like it to > edit intelligently and I'm wondering what sort of extension I would need > to create. > When a new XML document type is supported, this is obviously > not a non-XML format plugin, but I'm not clear what it is.
