docbook-apps

Paul,
I've used oXygenXML before and if you can afford it, it will accelerate
your content development. However, if you need a cheap (free) editor with "OK"
XML support, use Eclipse which has XML support and a spell checker.

Regards,
Dean Nelson

I think youve missed the point here Dean, I want a WYSIWYG editor which
can save as docbook format, not an Xml Editor
