tX, formerly known as Teddy, is a tabular XML editor. tX XML editor presents the structure and content of XML files in a way that is both visually pleasing and easy to use.

Its features include the abiltiy to view XML in an hierarchical way without extraneous syntax or interface elements, edit data like a spreadsheet, enter data without having to worry about encoding rules, make major structural changes with minimal effort, cut and paste between most spreadsheet applications, and export to HTML.

Here are some key features of "tX XML editor":
Teddy is now rebranded as tX - Tabular XML editor.
Compilation under Qt4.
Elements without subelements have a closing "../>" instead of .
Attribute-value quotes changed from ' to ".
New menu icons - some original, some from art.gnome.org.
German language translation.
A new tab called "Help Text" provides a generic help-system for XML-Files. In this tab it is possible to display user documentation: If either the working-directory or the directory of the current xml file has a sub-directory with the name of the DTD, a right-click on an element () will load and display a file called "element_name.html" in the QTextBrowser-Widget. A right-click on the attribute (attribute-name="...") will jump to the "element_name.html#attribute_name" section of the html help file.

Requirements:
Qt 4.1.2

Open a terminal window and cd into the source directory, teddy.
Execute the following command to compile:

qmake tx.pro

to wherever you wish to keep it. The other files may be discarded.
