Hi all,
Thanks for all your feedback.
During the last hours I have tried out the open source solutions jedit and
emacs.
If you are on a slow line and have Java installed (suppose you have to
compile docbooks..:o) you definitely want jedit. It is a reasonable small
download. 1.4MB beats the 17MB download for emacs. Just observe that the
package manager requires a connection to download the XML plugins.
If you know your way around emacs you might prefer that package, but jedit
is really appealing. One hour of fiddling, and I'm sold on it. It has
syntax highlighting and sanity check through a XML tree plugin.
I'll stick to jedit for a while (www.jedit.org)
Thanks a lot for all your suggestions.
Best regards
Staale

Hi,
As a fearly new user of the DocBook DTD I'm wondering whiche editor you
old timers use.
I'm using NoteTab light at the moment. But I would like a editor with
syntax highlighting, and sanity check, for the DocBook (xml) tags.
I gues a wysiwyg style editor ( similar to LyX ) is unawailable in the
cheap end of the editor marked?
Best regards
