Re: DOCBOOK: Favorite editing tool on windows based machine.

Hi all,

Thanks for all your feedback.

During the last hours I have tried out the open source solutions jedit and 
emacs.

If you are on a slow line and  have Java installed (suppose you have to 
compile docbooks..:o) you definitely want jedit. It is a reasonable small 
download. 1.4MB beats the 17MB download for emacs. Just observe that the 
package manager requires a connection to download the XML plugins.

If you know your way around emacs you might prefer that package, but jedit 
is really appealing. One hour of fiddling, and I'm sold on it. It has 
syntax highlighting and sanity check through a XML tree plugin.

I'll stick to jedit for a while (www.jedit.org)

Thanks a lot for all your suggestions.

Best regards
Staale
