XMLwriter 1.0 RELEASE NOTES
Welcome to XMLwriter 1.0, brought to you by Wattle Software!
1. Description
XMLwriter is a powerful XML Editor, designed to help web authors and web application
programmers take advantage of the latest XML and XML-related technologies such as XSL and
XQL.
XMLwriter provides users with an extensive range of XML functionality such as: validation
of XML documents against a DTD or XML Schema, and the ability to convert XML to HTML using
XSL stylesheets. Users can also combine CSS with XML for direct formatting of XML data.
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 validation of files within a project.
Professionally designed to meet Windows interface guidelines, XMLwriter users can expect a
familiar and intuitive user interface. XMLwriter includes extensive on-line help as well as
a guide to the XML specification.
XMLwriter is written entirely in C++, which makes it a fast and efficient editor compared to
existing Java-based XML editors. It is a 32-bit program, aimed for systems running on
Windows 95/98/2000 and Windows NT4.
2. System Requirements
