Hello, I tried to implement this myself some time ago, but I agrese with Hussein's last post. You can quite easily create a macro command to mark e.g. a element "added", "deleted" etc. with appropriate CSS styling as well. You can also wrap portions of text into "phrase" with a needed revision attribute. But in my opinion the problem arises when you have to deal with the content model of DocBook or any other format which allow many combinations. The macro commands have to be smart enough not to let user wrap text or inline elements which are already marked for revision etc. I created this: - macro for wraping text with appropriate revision atribute using "phrase" - macro for marking elements with revision atribute - macro for moving between revisionflags using XPath - macro for removing revision flags - macro for accepting / declining revisions You have to explicitly select every element or portion of text and use appropriate command which in case of long documents can be quite time consuming. The solution may be to use a tracking system.

I have been evaluating the XMLMind XML Editor to determine its potential as a documentation tool for our organization. The current requirements for using a XML editor are: 1. Need to Single Source 2. Linux Environment Hence, DocBook was chosen as the standard. The next need is evaluating the different XML editors out there. Three names kept coming up: 1. Syntext Serna 2. XXE 3. Oxygen As a technical writer, I would like to spend my time writing, rather than looking into creating XML tags. Therefore, the need for a GUI to type out the content. We have other crucial requirements: 1. View Track Changes and multiple edits by author and different reviewers. 2. Creating templates with ease. 3. Port/migrate old documentation into new templates. 4. Convert to .HTML/.PDF/.RTF easily. Can the helpful members of this community share their knowledge about how XXE stands upto these requirements? Thanking each of you in advance, Dishaa ________________________________ Pinpoint customers <http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=48250/*http:/searchmarketing.yahoo.com/arp/s ponsoredsearch_v9.php?o=US2226&cmp=Yahoo&ctv=AprNI&s=Y&s2=EM&b=50> who are looking for what you sell. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
