>Most people still hack DocBook tags by hand using either vi or
|
|
emacs. There's an Nxml mode that ships with Emacs and is automatically
|
|
invoked when the editor recognizes an XMl document. It has become
|
|
pretty good; while it doesn't give GUI presentation, it does use its
|
|
knowledge of XML to highlight out-of-balance tags. Some alternative
|
|
are summarized at the <A

|
|
><P
|
|
>There have been a number of attempts at GUI editors for DocBook,
|
|
often with the aim of being general editors for any markup with an XML or
|
|
SGML schema. EuroMath, MLView, Conglomerate, ThotBook are among them.
|
|
Such projects tent to stall out in alpha stage; designing a decent
|
|
UI for this task is extemely difficult.</P

barely, in many cases) can be found at the <A
