emacs as an XML editor?

emacs as an XML editor?

[Gustaf Erikson]

We have humongous XML-files at work that are expected to be edited in
textboxes. I use mozex to let emacs handle this stuff.

What would be really nice is an emacs mode that could be used for XML
editing. It would include stuff like parsing for well-formedness,
validation, folding elements etc. Anyone have any pointers on how this
can be implemented?

tia,

The Text Encoding Initiative has a special interest in literary and
multilingual texts and XML. They have released a special version of
Emacs which comes preinstalled with nxml-mode, psgml-mode, DTD,
Schemas, XSLT style sheets, and more things than I can understand.

Visit the first two pages, then download Emacs from the third page:

     http://www.tei-c.org
     http://www.tei-c.org/Software/index.html
     http://www.tei-c.org/Software/tei-emacs/

Don't skip over the first two pages. For instance, on the middle link
("Software"), I discovered an interesting Word-to-XML or Word-to-XHTML
processor, and some other useful XML tools.
