What is it?

  • well, it is an XML Editor
  • nice TEI integration (framework)
  • ships with software (Saxon and Java) to process (transform, query) XML documents

Tip

You can try it for free for 30 days

Download and install

Why should I use it?

  • People say it is the de facto standard tool in the context of digital editions; at least here at the ACDH-CH used in many projects.
  • TEI-Support
  • WYSIWYG View (Author-Mode)
  • especially useful for developing XSL stylesheets for e.g. the conversion from XML to HTML files
  • especially useful for querying/analyzing XML-Documents

Tip

If you are mainly interested in encoding XML-Documents you can use free, general Code-Editors like e.g. VS-Code with additional XML Plug-Ins
