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

Not a non-XML format plugin. Not a CSS stylesheet extension. Just a
configuration file for XMLmind XML Editor.
