XML editing: take a look at Morphon

Sunday 28 September 2003 6:38:39 am

I had a peek at this editor a while ago, and learned it became a free product now. Good news from the Netherlands!

http://www.morphon.com

A java based almost WYSIWYG xml and css editor:
- with docbook support
- with a spell checker (!)
- all kinds of plugins, including a webdav connector (!), pdf generation , ....

In other words ....

How might one install this in place of the ezpublish online editor?

That's not entirely what I understood: the ez crew was positive about the idea to kick-start an OE development based on Bitflux and let the rest of the community (or a few, including me) do the rest. Basically, it needs some DAV specific plugin to ez publish. The hard part will be the insertion of images/objects in a user friendly manner.

i've had a look at this and talked it over with one of their developers.

the xml-editor requires a one time 10MB (at least) download and install procedure on the client machine, so it's more a replacement / alternative for the Desktop Edition than the Online Editor.

they're also working on an applet that wouldn't need an install procedure (loads automagically), but that's in a very early development stage.

there's no development roadmap or planned release date for this applet yet, translated quote: ``it all depends on demand for the product''.

i don't think this is the short-term way to go.
