Thanks All, this is all very useful.
One thing that would be very nice to have is the ability to select a
section of the text and assign it a code (the start and end of an xml
tag, I mean) as that would speed up the job quite a bit.
I will explore the suggestions received thus far, but if one of these
software has such a feature, I would put it at the top of my list.
Kind regards

Oggetto: Re:  suggestion for an xml editor, please?

  Or, to be more precise, Emacs/nxml-mode (editing an XML document and
  validating it against a RELAX NG compact syntax grammar as you go);
  there is also Emacs/psgml-mode for editing an XML document and
  validating it against a DTD.
  I think what has been posted here about Emacs is correct b it is in
  some ways the bbestb editor, for most anything. But it comes with
  a serious downside, too: it is not like any other tool you use or
  will use, and thus it is very difficult to learn to use well.

  But MSMcQbs point about macro language is a very good one, IMHO. (I
  may be mildly biased having also grown up on XEDIT & Rexx : -)

  All that said, I also use oXygen. It is not perfect and has a lot of
  features I could not care less about, but I have never seen a
  commercial XML editor with a price/feature ratio anywhere near as
  good as oXygenbs.
