Is there a Docbook XML editor which enforces the Docbook schema during editing?

I am looking for an editor which loads the Docbook XML schema and then
only allows the creation of tags which are allowed at the current
position in the XML document.

My favourite one is XMLMind's XXE: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/

FWIW,

OK, but is there an opensource version which doesn't rely on java?

I'm not aware o any Free XML editor that is comes close to what I would
expect any XML editor worth its name to be able to do. I regularly look
for alternatives (myself preferring Free Software if possible), but
always come back disappointed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_XML_editors gives you an
overview.
(Additional constraints such as "no java" reduce your chances even
further...)

This emacs mode does all that. I use it all day every day:

I'd like to reiterate the Emacs mention. I’m not a very big Emacs guy, but I did use it during some heavy XML editing, and I configured it using one of the more featureful XML modes, which I believe was nxml. While obtuse to a non-Emacsen, it’s very powerful, and you gain the benefits of the full emacs capability, which I find lacking in most other XML editors. It’s the closest thing I’ve reached to a proper full-featured editor that actually makes my workflow easier, rather than harder.

Hello,

IDEs like Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA don’t quite prevent you from inserting the wrong element or attribute, but once you’ve fetched the XSD they help with tag completion and also immediately flag invalid markup (in red text for example). Both those IDEs let you run validation, making it straightforward to find markup errors.

Of course both IDEs have you edit text. Neither have WYSIWYG capabilities as far as I know.

Regards,
Mark
