The <application>epcEdit</application> program allows you to edit XML files.
It has the advantages of not needing to know <application>Emacs</application> or
<application>vi</application> before starting, and is cross-platform, working in both
Windows and Linux. This is a commercial application, and
pricing can be found at

Along with visual editing, epcEdit will also validate
documents on loading, and on demand by using the <menuchoice
moreinfo="none"><guimenu
moreinfo="none">Document</guimenu><guimenuitem
moreinfo="none">Validate</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
command.</para>

</para>
<para>
This is a commercial application which is currently
available for free (with an optional user registration).
It is written in Java, allowing it to run on any platform
that has a Java Virtual Machine (that is, works in both
Windows and Linux).
</para>
<para>
On the plus sides of <application>XMLEditor</application> is the left side of the
screen shows the hierarchy of the document (starting with Book
and so on). Selecting an item in the list brings you to that
part of the document so you can edit it. The right part of the
screen shows the text without any markup or tags being shown.
If you have external files as ELEMENTS (as the LDP Author Guide
does), <application>XMLEditor</application> will follow the links and load the files, so
you always work on the entire work. On the minus side of this,
you will get errors if a file is missing.

To be fair, <application>nedit</application> is more
for programmers, so it might seem a bit of overkill for new
users and especially non-programmers. All that aside, it's
extremely powerful, allowing for syntax highlighting. Unlike
<application>epcEdit</application>, <application>nedit</application> doesn't allow you to automatically insert tags
extremely powerful, allowing for syntax highlighting.
<application>nedit</application> doesn't allow you to automatically insert tags
or automatically validate your code. However, it does allow
for shell commands to be run against the contents of the
window (as opposed to saving the file, then checking).
