Title: RE: Open Source XML Editor
I've
just been informed that XMetaL can do this kind of thing
(and is way better than the competition, I'm reliably (?) informed ;-)
Cheers,
Danny.

Merlot doesn't go quite this far, but it does support plugins
in the form of code bundled with a DTD, so that the
editor can become very customized for each DTD.

SoftQuad XMetal and Arbortext Epic can do this, but require a
lot of DTD-specific customization. It's kindof
hard to imagine a "wizard" that could understand a DTD
or schema well enough to do this automatically ... but
would be a wonderful innovation!
