Packages in the "main" repository should be well supported by the Ubuntu community. Packages in the "universe" repository are contributed by smaller groups or individuals and may not be as well-supported. === abiword === * repository: main * environment: GTK2 / Gnome2 * homepage: http://www.abisource.com/ * install: apt-get install abiword abiword-common abiword-plugins * community: http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/ * comments: I'm having problems importing DocBook, but it should work, I need to RTFM === bluefish === * repository: universe * environment: Gnome * homepage: http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/index.html * install: apt-get install bluefish * community: http://bfwiki.tellefsen.net/ * comments: bluefish is an HTML editor, not totally adept as an XML editor === conglomerate === * repository: universe * environment: Gnome * homepage: http://www.conglomerate.org/index.html * install: apt-get install conglomerate * community: http://www.conglomerate.org/getting_involved.html * comments: boxes don't display right on dapper with default settings * some very interesting concepts for organizing the display vs. other editors === emacs + nxml === * repository: main / universe * environment: emacs * homepage: http://www.thaiopensource.com/nxml-mode/ * install: apt-get install nxml-mode * community: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/emacs-nxml-mode/ * comments: if you love emacs, this is the thing === kate === * repository: main * environment: KDE * homepage: http://kate.kde.org/ * install: apt-get install kate kate-plugins * community: http://kate.kde.org/contact.php * comments: installed by default with Kubuntu * great option for kate, use it for all my editing * code folding / unfolding is handled very nicely === lyx === * repository: universe * environment: Qt / xforms * homepage: http://www.lyx.org * install: apt-get install lyx * community: http://www.lyx.org/internet/ * comments: LaTeX oriented but can import / export DocBook * What You See Is What You Mean (WYSIWYM) works beautifully * templates seem to be broken at the moment === mlview === * repository: universe * environment: Gnome * homepage: http://www.freespiders.org/projects/gmlview/ * install: apt-get install mlview * community: http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mlview-list * comments: looks promising, haven't thoroughly tested it yet === OpenOffice.org Writer === * repository: main * environment: (originally Java, but now ?) * homepage: http://www.openoffice.org * install: apt-get install openoffice.org * community: http://support.openoffice.org/index.html * comments: I have not been able to get OOo to work with DocBook on Linux * WritingDocbookWithOpenOffice describes procedure to use OOo to edit DocBook === Quanta+ === * repository: main * environment: KDE * homepage: http://quanta.kdewebdev.org/ * install: apt-get install quanta * community: http://quanta.kdewebdev.org/bugs.php * comments: looks similar to kate, but has some nice tools for validation etc. * doesn't have the DocBook 4.3 XML DTD out of the box * no missing dependencies in Kubuntu dapper * in Ubuntu dapper, a few dependency problems * a few needed packages are not installed by "apt-get quanta" * installing kubuntu-desktop is one easy way to fix it * I should try to find out what extra packages I needed to install * then I should report it as a bug! * on Ubuntu dapper, sometimes it freezes for me * excellent tutorial http://quanta.kdewebdev.org/tutorials/quanta-docbook/quanta.html === SciTE === * repository: universe * environment: Scintilla * homepage: http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html * install: apt-get install scite * community: http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scite-interest * comments: on dapper SciTE crashes for me, maybe OK on breezy? * scriptable and extensible through Python === vim + xmledit === * repository: main * environment: vim * homepage: http://www.vim.org/ * install: console vim comes installed by default, gtk frontend is vim-gtk * community: http://www.vim.org/community.php * comments: * VimHowto * [http://www.pinkjuice.com/howto/vimxml/tasks.xml Vim as an XML Editor] * [http://www.vim.org/tips/tip.php?tip_id=583 Vim Tip 583 (see comments)] * Vim also supports many features like code folding, spell checking, <your favourite feature> == Unsupported == These programs are not available in the Ubuntu package repositories. Some packages may not be included due to licensing restrictions. Perhaps you would like to volunteer to package one of these programs for Ubuntu? There is certainly nothing wrong with using these programs, but you may need to turn to their own user community if you need assistance. === Butterfly XML === * environment: Java * homepage: http://www.butterflyxml.org/ * install: http://www.butterflyxml.org/modules.php?name=Downloads * community: http://www.butterflyxml.org/modules.php?name=Forums * comments: screenshots look intriguing, haven't tried it yet === Exchanger XML Lite === * environment: Java * homepage: http://www.freexmleditor.com/ * install: http://www.freexmleditor.com/ * community: http://exchangerxml.com/phpBB2/ * comments: ~+not+~ Open Source, free to use but restricted * free lite version with pro version available * haven't tried it yet === Geany === * environment: GTK2 * homepage: http://geany.uvena.de/ * install: http://geany.uvena.de/manual/index.html * community: http://geany.uvena.de/support.html * comments: must be built form source code, haven't tried it yet === jEdit + XML / XmlIndenter / XQuery / XSLT / JTidyPlugin === * environment: Java * homepage: http://www.jedit.org/ * install: http://www.jedit.org/index.php?page=quickstart * community: http://community.jedit.org/ * comments: nice if you use both Linux and Windows == Commercial Applications == These programs require you to pay money for a license, but usually included in that price is professional support from the program vendor. == Dead Projects == These are programs which appear to be abandoned by the author. I have included them here to answer the question, "But what about program <X>?" If you are a developer and you really like the program, perhaps you could contact the author to ask about resuming development or creating a fork. === moleskine === * environment: Gnome * component: Scintilla * homepage: http://micampe.it/things/moleskine * install: http://micampe.it/things/moleskine * community: * comments: == Editor Components == Peeking at the source code, I found there is similarity between many of the programs because they are based on the same widget set or editor component. For example SciTE and Geany are both based on the Scintilla code editor component, while bluefish and gedit are based on the GtkSourceView component. The component that is used controls how the editor displays and manages code folding and syntax highlighting for example. I think it would be a useful exercise to identify the editor component used by each application. == Related Pages == * DocBook == To Do List == Programs to add * nice list on http://www.tldp.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/html/tools-edit.html * check programs listed on http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/ScintillaRelated.html * PyPE * CUTE http://cute.sourceforge.net/index.html * any other editor components akin to Scintilla? * Jext http://www.jext.org/ * Code Browser http://code-browser.sourceforge.net/ * GtkEditor component http://gtkeditor.sourceforge.net/ * XXE (XMLmind XML Editor) Standard and Pro editions * move exchanger to commercial, add attribute for lite version * oxygen http://www.oxygenxml.com/ Additions * use tabs or tables to make attributes align better? * what are the thoughts on commercial applications like xxe or stylus? ---- CategoryDocteam |
