Also new in version 2.0 is full support for W3C XML Schemas (also known as XSD) including validation, conversion to and from DTD and generating sample XML data from an XSD Schema. The new version includes improvements to usability, additional help for new XML users and user feature requests.

About XMLwriter

XMLwriter is a powerful XML editor for Windows designed to help web editors and programmers take advantage of the latest XML and XML-related technologies such as XSLT and XSD Schema.

XMLwriter is the favored XML editor of many universities and private colleges for use by students in their XML coursework. The intuitive user interface facilitates rapid learning for XML beginners and comprehensive on-line help incorporating an XML syntax guide is included. Experienced users will appreciate XMLwriter's comprehensive feature set and extensibility.

Especially designed to manage projects, XMLwriter's Integrated Development Environment (IDE) provides useful project management features such as a structured Project View workspace, and batch processing of files. Intelligent entry helpers guide the creation of documents and customizable code snippets are available for often used text. TagBar provides a visual, interactive representation of a DTD or XML Schema enabling mouse-driven editing.

XMLwriter provides a complete range of XML functionality such as: validation of XML documents against a DTD or XSD Schema and conversion of DTDs to the newer XSD Schema format or vice versa. XMLwriter can transform XML to HTML using XSLT stylesheets or users can combine CSS with XML for direct formatting of XML data.

Power users can select third-party XML parsers, XSL engines, and other tools to process XML documents without leaving the XMLwriter environment. Other advanced editing features include: real-time color syntax highlighting of tags and keywords, extensive drag and drop support, unlimited undo/redo, find and replace, auto-indent, line numbering and bookmarking. The user interface, including toolbars, menus, keyboard shortcuts and the workspace environment are all fully customizable.
