XMLmind XML Editor Personal Edition Description

XMLmind XML Editor allows to edit large, complex, modular, XML documents. It makes it easy mastering XML vocabularies such as DocBook or DITA. The intended users of XMLmind XML Editor are not particularly the programmers but rather the technical writers. XMLmind XML Editor Personal Edition main features: Validating XML editor Supports DTD, W3C XML Schema, RELAX NG, Schematron schemas Schema-directed editing This makes creating invalid documents almost impossible Automatically switches to lenient mode to make it easy fixing an invalid element Automatically switches back to its strict, validating, normal editing mode, once the element is fixed Can be used to edit XML documents not constrained by a grammar In such case, XMLmind XML Editor (XXE) is still very nice to use because it simulates a very loose, dynamically created/dynamically updated, DTD Supports XML catalogs Ready-to-use support for the following document types: XHTML Fully supports HTML4 tables and forms DocBook v4 (DTD) Fully supports CALS and HTML4 tables (this means: proper rendering and easy editing using specialized table editing commands) DocBook v5 (RELAX NG schema) Simplified DocBook DocBook Slides DITA Fully supports CALS tables and simpletables MathML 2 Presentation Content Comes with a Math tool which makes it easy adding equations to your XML documents without having to learn MathML The word processor-like view is parametrized using a substantial subset of CSS2 Has a fully editable tree view Multiple, synchronized, views can be used to edit the same document, for example: a tree view showing XML nodes, a word processor-like view and another styled view only showing section titles Supports the @media print standard CSS construct Proprietary extensions to CSS allow styled blocks and tables to be collapsed/expanded Proprietary extensions to CSS allow controls such as buttons, check boxes, combo boxes, text fields, etc, to be embedded in the styled view With this feature, XXE can be used to edit XML data, XML documents or a mix of both content types Proprietary extensions to CSS allow to style attributes, comments and processing instructions More info in XMLmind XML Editor - Support of Cascading Style Sheets (W3C CSS) Can be used to author modular documents, even very fine grained ones Creating a modular document is easy and safe: simply copy a reference to an element from one place (Ctrl+Shift-C) and paste it elsewhere (Ctrl-V = Paste Into, Ctrl-U = Paste Before or Ctrl-W = Paste After) More info in the tutorial Fully supports DITA conref For document types other than DITA, modular documents are implemented using references to external entities and/or XIncludes Supports many image formats (GIF, JPEG, PNG, SVG, TIFF, BMP, EPS, PDF, etc) through the use of image toolkit plug-ins Supports graphics embedded in the XML document (SVG elements and images encoded in base64Binary) as well as references to external image files Has an advanced image viewport component which allows to render images on screen in a WYSIWYG fashion (this needs to be specified in the CSS style sheet) Has an easy to use and yet extremely powerful integrated spreadsheet engine Does not work by embedding an external spreadsheet component in the document: the XML document is the spreadsheet A formula can address table cells using the usual A1 notation (example: "table1"!$A$1:$C$3) If the formula is itself inside a table cell, it can even use relative cell references (example: A1:C3) The formula language and the predefined functions are very similar to those used by other spreadsheet software Example: "sum is " & SUM(A1:A3) More than 80 predefined functions are provided A formula is represented by processing instruction xxe-formula Using such specific processing instructions is allowed by the XML standard xxe-formulas are ignored by XML software other than XXE Can be used to edit non-XML documents through the use of format plug-ins Can transform the document being edited using a built-in XSLT engine (Saxon) and XSL-FO processor plug-ins Such XSL-FO processor plug-ins are available for: Apache FOP 093 (and also Apache FOP 0205) Converts XSL-FO to PDF and PostScriptTM Incurs no additional costs XMLmind FO Converter Converts XSL-FO to RTF, WordprocessingML (MS-Word 2003), OpenDocument (the native format of OpenOfficeorg 2), Office Open XML (or OOXML or docx, the native format of MS-Word 2007) Incurs no additional costs RenderX XEP Converts XSL-FO to PDF and PostScriptTM Requires purchasing XEP from RenderX Can be used to edit documents stored on an FTP or WebDAV server Can be used to edit documents contained in a Zip archive More generally, the editor can be used to edit documents stored in places other than ordinary, local, file systems through the use of virtual drive plug-ins There are no special commands for doing that, just use File|Open, File|Save and File|Save As An advanced file chooser dialog box may be used to browse and select files on the local file system, on remote file systems (eg FTP, WebDAV) and on virtual file systems (eg Zip) This dialog box has a simple yet handy integrated file manager For example, it can be used to delete files and directories on an FTP server In the case of a WebDAV server, this dialog box also allows to see which files are locked and who is locking them Has both an automatic spell checker (underlines misspelled words as they are typed) and a ``traditional'' spell checker Can use attributes such as xml:lang to automatically detect the language of the element being checked Can be configured to spell check comments, processing instruction having specific targets, specific attributes Can be configured to automatically skip specific elements Includes dictionaries for English, French , German , Spanish Extra user-contributed dictionaries are also available These have been built using the Dictionary Builder tool Multi-level undo/redo Literal and regular expression search/replace facilities Has an XPath-based search facility which, for most common tasks, does not require the user to learn XPath Allows to record and replay macro-commands Localized to English, French, German, Czech, Italian, Spanish Fully customizable through the use of configuration files (modular XML files conforming to a specific W3C XML Schema) No programming required Fully extensible in Java Many extension points Configuration files and jar files containing extension code can be centralized on an HTTP or FTP server XMLmind XML Editor Personal Edition requirements: Java XMLmind XML Editor Personal Edition limitations: 7 days trial Process commands (used to transform part or all of the document being edited using the integrated XSLT engine) are strongly restricted Automatic spell checker (which underlines misspelled words as they are typed) is unavailable Macro recorder is unavailable Include tool - not available The Options|Customize Configuration menu (which allows end-users, that is non-experts, to customize an existing configuration by the means of simple dialog boxes) - not available Integrated spreadsheet - not available Editing documents stored on remote (WebDAV, FTP) or virtual (Zip) filesystems is unavailable The GUI cannot be customized Cannot be deployed using JavaTM Web Start What's new in XMLmind XML Editor Personal Edition : Enhancements: The Convert and Convert commands now support element templates. For example, it's now possible to define custom template span(highlight) in order to be able to convert the text selection to a span element having attribute class="highlight". Note that when Convert and Convert are passed an element template parameter, these commands copy the attributes of the element template and ignore its child nodes. Added support for XHTML 1.1. This document type is similar to XHTML 1.0 Strict, just slightly simpler and cleaner. However, like XHTML 1.0 Transitional, it makes it possible specifying attribute target on the a element. XHTML files are now saved differently than in previous releases If you want to omit the XML declaration (that is, ) from the save file, then add to the head element. For the XML declaration to be omitted, the media type must be "text/html" and the charset must be "UTF-8". This is useful because both the XML declaration and the de...
