- XMLwriter 1.2 RELEASE NOTES
-
- Welcome to XMLwriter 1.2, brought to you by Wattle Software!
-
- 1. Description
-
- XMLwriter is a powerful XML Editor, designed to help web authors and web application
- programmers take advantage of the latest XML and XML-related technologies such as XSL and
- XQL.
-
- XMLwriter provides users with an extensive range of XML functionality such as: validation
- of XML documents against a DTD or XML Schema, and the ability to convert XML to HTML using
- XSL stylesheets. Users can also combine CSS with XML for direct formatting of XML data.
-
- Especially designed to manage projects, XMLwriter's Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
- provides useful project management features such as a structured Project View workspace,
- and batch validation of files within a project.
-
- Professionally designed to meet Windows interface guidelines, XMLwriter users can expect a
- familiar and intuitive user interface. XMLwriter includes extensive on-line help as well as
- a guide to the XML specification.
-
- XMLwriter is written entirely in C++, which makes it a fast and efficient editor compared to
- existing Java-based XML editors. It is a 32-bit program, aimed for systems running on
- Windows 95/98/2000 and Windows NT4.
