Message-ID: <20020115174851.D64862@iib.unsam.edu.ar> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i X-PGP-Key: http://genoma.unsam.edu.ar/~fernan/pubkey.asc Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Sorry if this is off-topic. I am going through the docproj documentation. I am fairly new to both SGML/XML and everything seems to make sense to me right now. My question goes to the following. As I do with HTML I can type the tags myself:
etc. However this becomes stressing after a while. So my question is: is there any text editor that supports efficient SGML editing? Right now I am thinking not only about syntax highlighting, but also about auto-completion of tags based on a DTD (so you don't have to type them fully), or perhaps auto-insertion of tags with certain key combinations (perhaps the most used tags)? What do people at doc@freebsd use for editing the handbook and other articles? emacs? vi? other editors that I haven't heard of? My question also arose because there is nothing mentioned on this topic on the documentation on how to write documentation. Thanks in advance for your help, and apologies if this is not on topic for this list.
