Serna Free
Syntext Serna Free XML editor is an easy-to-use open source
What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) XML editor for those who wish to
adopt the XML technology.
This application combines the unique WYSIWYG approach with
intuitive behaviour to help writers with virtually no XML experience to
freely author XML documents.
Composite XML documents are visualized using XSLT
& XSL-FO stylesheets as a transparent integrated whole. This is
not only visually convenient but also dramatically accelerates the
authoring process.
Syntext Serna offers multi-channel publishing, including
out-of-the-box publishing to HTML and external publishing to PDF with
FOP, XEP, or Antenna House XSL Formatter.
Features include:
- Simple and user-friendly
interface localized into several languages, which looks much like a
conventional word processor
- Built-in
support for all popular XML document types, such as DITA, Docbook,
XHTML, TEI P4, NITF, W3C Schema, and others
- Renders XML documents using XSLT/XSL-FO stylesheets to show
them close to the final output
- On-the-fly XML validation with XML Schema allows assisted
XML editing and guarantees the quality and consistency of your XML
documents
- Entity and XInclude in-place editing is transparent and
allows authors to instantly see the changes they make to the reused
content
- Drag-and-drop editing lets you quickly and easily change
the order of any XML document portions in ContentMap, Editing Window,
or between them, as well as between several opened XML documents.
Instant XML validation always keeps your document consistent and
suggests allowed positions to
drop content
- Fully supports UNICODE and has multilingual spell checking
functionality based on Aspell library, which supports approximately 30
languages
