Thanks Henry - am trying it out and spotted this - how sharp am I? :-)
It looks a great tool and am tempted to go straight to XML Schema's rather
than DTD with subsequent conversion to XML Schema, but am not sure if this
is wise just now.
I have two concerns - support for XML Schema and speed of adoption - our
customers may prefer to receive a DTD because they are familiar with it and
already have tools to help them deal with it.
Opinions on things to consider when choosing between providing a DTD or an
XML Schema would be useful - any out there!?
Also, how conformant is Microsoft's MSXML to the October CR for XML Schemas?
Thanks
Mark
ps when I do File/New in XED and it asks for a DTD should I be able to give
it "c:\XMLSchema.dtd" (saved from http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema.dtd)?
It tells me "failed to open and process file:///c:\XMLSchema.dtd proceeding
without one". (XED v0.5.3.2)
ps any plans for syntax coloring or windows keybindings? also choice of font
would be nice.
