Try starting with Emacs/PSGML. It's free software and very powerful. If you're already familiar with Emacs or with other text editors, you should find it a great environment to work in. If it turns out you're happy with it, you probably don't need to bother trying anything else. And if you're not happy with it, you can help improve it by submitting patches & enhancement requests <http://sourceforge.net/projects/psgml> But if you want to do any exploration of commercial editors, you might also look at epcEdit <http://www.epcedit.com/> It's cross-platform (Linux, Solaris, Windows) and has some of the same power features as XMetal/Epic -- WYSIWYG editing of CALS and OASIS Exchange Table Model tables, regex search-and-replace, control over character formatting during on-screen editing. Non-free software, but they provide Tcl source code for the user interface at least. If you have a fast machine, maybe also take at look at Morphon XML Editor <http://www.morphon.com/>. It's 100 percent Java so will run anywhere, and has features comparable to epcEdit. It's also non-free software, but lower cost relative to Epic/XMetal You can download demo/evaluation copies of both epcEdit and Morphon.
