Open source DocBook editor

Question

I'm using Docbook every day but I find classical text editors unsuitable for editing long XML files with long mark names.

So, I'm looking to an open source software that can permits me to edit a Docbook file simply.

I've found some softwares (Altova, oXygen, ...) but I didn't find any open source software.

In the best case, the editor would read the DTD or the XSD and would use a user XSLT file to display dynamically the XML file and would permit to edit it graphically, but I think this software doesn't exists.

Do you have any ideas on XML editors approaching this "dream".

Answer 1

Have a look at DocBook Editing and Processing for Eclipse (DEP4E) it is based on Eclipse.

TIP: Look at the Quick Start Guide - Section 3. Getting Started to get an idea.

It supports DTD and XML Schema for DocBook.
