Agreed -- but I never used something else than Emacs/PSGML (I've still to check out your IDE!). One thing missing is a fancy ID/IDREF manager. If you're interested in more colors load François Pinard's add-on xxml.el: http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/%7Epinard/fp-etc/dist/xxml/xxml.el > Arbortext and SoftQuad both make commercial tools for editing XML. > (As do others, I'm sure.) > Uhm.

Of course. But you can use most of the text processors as a structural editor. Look at the document you wish to convert: if "soft" formatting (StarOffice terminology) is used you're in business. That's how I used a text processor and its macro language around 1990 when I didn't know noting about Emacs ;) -- work : ke@suse.de | ------ ,__o : http://www.suse.de/~ke/ | ------ _-\_<, home : keichwa@gmx.net | ------ (*)/'(*)
