Re: [docbook-apps] Integrate DocBook-xsl sheets with Emac text editor

Hi Gihan,
For writing DocBook 5.x, with emacs you want nxml mode [1]. PSGML mode
is for editing DTD-based DocBook 4.x docs.

I don't see a real need for connecting the xsls to emacs since there
are any number of ways to set up a build and in a continuous
integration scenario  you don't want it tied to your editor anyway.

If you want a slick, IDE-like experience that has everything built in,
try the oXygen XML Editor [2].

Regards,
David
