Any seasoned XML author who is happy with
Emacs/JEdit/Oxygen/XMLSpy/Whatever cannot possibly be satisfied with
XXE. Our recommendation in this case is simply to ignore our product.

See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/how_to.html#source_view for a
workaround.

Multiple *synchronized* views of the same document are already
implemented. See the "Add" menu item in
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/viewMenu.html




Frankly what you describe is *really* *not* where we would like to go.

I hope that you also ask the FSF to implement a styled view in Emacs ;-)

PS: Personally, I exclusively use Emacs as a text/programmer's editor
since 15 years and I'm pretty happy with it. That's why, despite the
fact that all my friends tell me that I'm corny and that I should switch
to Eclipse, I don't see any compelling reason to switch to another tool.
