We don't deliver in html, if that's what you're thinking. At least, not at this point. Everything is pdf. I found something called XMLMind, which is written in Java, available for Linux and Windows and the the standard version is free. The cripples don't look fatal so far. By validation I mean the editor is DTD aware; that is, it won't let you put in tags that would violate the DTD, or if it does it tells you in loud words. XMLMind does that. I was hoping not to spend too much time actually editing DTDs. If I get into customization, etc., I might do a bit, but at the moment I'm still learning about the whole concept. cheers David
