This highly depends on your level of expectations. * If you just want to create and edit Nitf documents using the *tree* *view*, there is nothing special to do: --> Create a new Nitf document: Use "File|Open As Template" or "File|Open Copy". --> Edit an existing Nitf document: Use "File|Open" and "File|Save". * If you want a *styled* *view* and may be menu, toolbars, macros, etc to make the user much more productive, it may take days or even weeks (for *huge* DTDs such as DocBook or TEI). Most of the time is spent: [1] Learning DTD, CSS, XSLT, XSL-FO, etc. [2] Learning XXE and the way it is configured. [3] Writing a CSS style sheet for use by XXE. All this is explained in "XMLmind XML Editor - Configuration and Deployment" http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/index.html Excerpt of the introduction of this document: --- Out of the box, XXE can be used to author XHTML and DocBook documents with a good personal productivity. (DITA, Simplified DocBook, Slides, etc, are available as add-ons.) But if you need to achieve excellent productivity for a group of users in your organization or if you need to use a proprietary DTD, W3C XML Schema or RELAX NG schema, then you'll have to customize existing XXE configurations or you'll have to write a custom configuration for your proprietary schema from scratch. In an organization, the task of writing a configuration file for XXE is ideally performed by a single person, who belongs to the group of XML authors, but who is specially motivated by becoming the local guru. * The local guru really needs to understand the job of the group of XML authors which will use XXE. * The local guru really needs to be motivated because she/he will have to read tons of documentation: XXE documentation, but also many W3C standards such as XML, CSS, XPath, etc. * The local guru does not need to be a programmer, or even a member of the IT staff. If you don't have a person with the profile of a local guru, you may consider hiring an external consultant for a few days. ---
