EditiX is a cross-platform and multi-purpose XML/XSLT editor, which helps Web authors and programmers use XML and XML-related technologies, such as XSLT, FO, and XSD schemas.

It provides a lot of functionality within a refined IDE, which guides the user with intelligent entry helpers, and has real-time XPath location and syntax error detection. It allows the user to apply an XSLT or FO transformation, and shows the result in a separate view.

EditiX includes default templates for XML, DTD, XHTML, XSLT, XSD, XML RelaxNG, SVG, MathML, and XML FO.

Here are some key features of "EditiX":

What's New in This Release:
This major release includes about 50 improvements divided in the standard, XSLT, and schema editors.
The error management has been rewritten, and the content assistant supports various cases.
For example, it detects available types taking into account the current namespace with W3C schema.
You can build your XSLT document with simple drag'n'drop from the data source to the XSLT editor.
Each editor can be extracted, so you can have several editors in the same space.
