HTML Editors with XML Support ???

[Stratobat]

Hi Guys,

Thought I would create a seperate thread as not to clog up the other one with to many questions on my part :D

Mopar,

You mentioned using Dreamweaver and Frontpage for XML Editing. Could any old HTML Editor with XHTML and XML support also be used?

Found a few on Snapfiles...

They should work just fine. I use NVu just as a text editor, but I can see someone saving a custom setup with the regularly used commands would be fairly easy to do.

If it doesn't have save as xml capability, make sure it has save as text file capability and append the file extension from .TXT to .XML

That's how I have my Visuall C++ setup...all the macros and code snips I use often are stored so just a mouse-click will enter them. I pick a macro, enter all the variables and viola it's ready.

Does it do everything that you want it to (No lockups, errors and etc)?

Lockups, errors, etc...hey it's not a winders program! :173go1:



Seriously...
Yes it's been working great for me in both Mandrake10.1 & Debian3.1r0a Linux. I can't say for sure how stable the Windows port of the program is as I've not tried it. It's based on the old Netscrape/Mozilla Composer code base, so should survive in Windows okay. It's worth a shot...heck, the price is right! LOL

Mind you I'm also using it just as a text file editor, I haven't gotten too in-depth with my XML dabbling to warrant specializing my XML toolkit yet. I mainly use it just for the color-coded editing of my source files. I have been using it on my web pages, and one day I started messing about with XML files in it...then got to thinking that this might be a halfway decent XML editor for gauge work too.

For proper XML work, I would still suggest XML Cooktop over any web dev editor. It has treated me well so far in my XML newbie-ism...you can use on DTD and XSLT files and has code validation and tidying too.

Lmao, that it is... Think I'll give it a try over the Week-end :)

Friend of mine is building a Chopper, so at some time or other we're going to have to create some XML Gauges for it...

Thanks again, Mopar :icon29:
