XML Editors

There are many XML editors available and any one will do but certain ones have advantages over others. It is preferable to use a validating XML editor so you can check to make sure your website.xml is a valid webgeno file. If your website.xml file has any errors in it, webgeno is not guaranteed to succeed. Having a validating XML editor greatly simplifies the user's life because there are a lot of little pitfalls with producing well-formed and valid XML that the user no longer has to worry about.

In addition to validation, it's really nice to have an editor that provides context-sensitive help by indicating the types of XML elements that are valid depending on where you try to add things in the XML tree.

XMLmind is a corss-platform validating XML editor that provides context-sensitive help. While other editors should work, XMLmind is the only one that will be tested with webgeno and the only one that will be documented here.
