It depends to some extent on platform.  Since I primarily use Linux,
I use gvim (a text editor with syntax colouring) and xxe (a free Java
product from Active Minds).  I plan to look at XML authoring tools in
more detail next month, though, both on Linux and under Windows 2k/xp.

On other platforms (e.g. Solaris), Arbortext (www.arbortext.com) has
some XML editing ("development") software, and Adobe has FrameMaker;
both of these are very mature.  SoftQuad's Author/Editor was bought
by Interleaf, who were bought by BroadVision, who seemed not to
want Author/Editor, so that one has vanished I think.  There's one
called oXygen that posts announcements to xml-dev, and another from
Stilo in the UK... a quick look at Robin Cover's "Cover Pages" will
get you more.

I dont know if any support the QNX operating system dierctly.

The best tool for you depends on exactly what you are doing, on your
environment and your background.

Best,

Liam
