Guide Review - XMLmind XML Editor (XXE) Review
XXE is a beta level program, but you wouldn't really know it. There are some features of most word processors missing, like spell check. But it is an innovative and interesting way to edit XML documents. This tool is not for beginners. It is designed for technical professionals who want to start editing XML documents quickly and effectively. It's especially useful when you want to use the built-in templates for DocBook, JavaDoc, and XHTML.
