Best XML Editor

Postby ranmadavies » Thu Jan 20, 2011 12:09 am

I have been looking for a good xml editor for making my character sheets. I would like your opinion (the viewer of this topic) as to which editor is the best. I am a beginner at this, so I'm hoping one of you know of an editor that has a wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) display of the finished product.

here's hoping! :)

Sorry - I just use Xcode's built in text editing capabilities (which don't do anything particularly special for XML) because that's where I spend the rest of my day developing code for The Dicenomicon...

the problem I have been having with most xml editors, is because most of the code is in strings, especially the visual portion of the character sheet code, the wysiwyg view of the code doesn't display any of the buttons, bars, labels, or placement of said items properly.

I use "Programmer's Notepad" on a PC for XML editting.
It is a text editor, but it automatically enters the closing tag when you complete the opening tag.
It also does syntax highlighting.

PC - Notepad++
Mac - TextWrangler

If you wanna go overkill on Mac go Xcode, but TextWrangler and Notepad++ are amazingly great editors.
