Subject:Options with XXE and other XML Editors From:Dishaa <dishaag -at- yahoo -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Mon, 21 May 2007 13:02:32 -0700 (PDT)
Hello,
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
