XML News from Friday, March 18, 2005

I've posted the notes from this morning's RELAX NG session, one of two new classes I'm giving this year at Software Development 2005 West, The talk went well, though there's still a lot of skepticism (which I hope I ameliorated) about whether anything other than the W3C XML Schema Language has a chance. Tool support was a particular concern.


JAPISoft has released EditiX 3.1, a $92 payware XML editor written in Java. Features include XPath location and syntax error detection, context sensitive popups based on DTD, W3C XML Schema Language, and RelaxNG schemas, XSLT and XSL-FO previews, XInclude. XML catalogs, an XSLT debugger, DocBook support, and multi-view preview. Version 3.1 adds a file browser. EditiX is available for Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows. Upgrades from 1.x are $59.
