anybody can read xml (as text), but using the markup is an other thing.
If you are interested in writing high-quality open-source documentation, you cannot avoid learning XML based on the DocBook schema--only some senior programmers refuse to do so. Usually it turns out that basic XML editing is pretty easy. In the beginning just using a few "tags" is sufficient (approx. 10 elements, I'd say). Wiki markup is more difficult, wiki markup looks easy, but it is highly sophisticated.
The truth is that we badly need a wysiwyg xml editor.
More important is an editor that supports things like ID/IDREF management and outline editing. -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH Key fingerprint = B2A3 AF2F CFC8 40B1 67EA 475A 5903 A21B 06EB 882E
