Saaaay ... how about a CSS editor? :-) I looked at Mozilla M6 and its XML/CSS support, and was quite pleased. I can even use parts of XLink to make URLs work, though I don't quite have the pointers changing correctly when they go over those links. Yes, yes -- CSS doesn't let you restructure your XML, can't solve the table of contents or indexing problems, can't construct internal links. That can be done on servers if needed, or with an XSL first pass, and isn't always needed anyway. But even if you think that XSL will be the One True Stylesheet, you'd have to acknowledge there's a need for something to handle the formatting objects. And it should be straightforward to make that module handle CSS along with FOs. (Whatever you do, don't insist on rendering to HTML!!) - Dave xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
