Spam
If someone really need for a commercial product, he can found some ones in the lists, commercial product must not be linked here. Spankman 06:30, 3 May 2006 (UTC)


 * From Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not: "External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they can serve to identify major corporations associated with a topic." At the very least, non-major commercial products should not be linked here. Su-laine.yeo 19:30, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

The same commercial link has been added from IP addresses starting with 86.68.76, five times in scarcely over a month. Could you please stop doing this? Su-Laine Yeo 19:30, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

merger proposal
this article is about WYSIWYG and WYSIWYM, not so much abt XML. As such, it should be merged with source code editor80.61.183.71 (talk) 14:33, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I have added a section describing the major difference between generic source code editors and editors designed for editing XML specifically. As they are not the same thing, I suggest that the two pages NOT be merged, unless the source code editor page is going to be clarified to distinguish strongly between generic source code editors and editors specific to a particular language. The distinction is important. I suggest that others better aquainted with XML should expand the stub section on an XML Editors extra functionality. Skreyola (talk) 17:10, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

I think this constitutes a separate page as many XML Editors have WYSIWYG editing capabilities, also XML is not technically source code as its never executed
 * Source Code : program instructions that must be translated by a compiler, interpreter, or assembler into object code before execution.

Off-Topic?
This page seems to be about HTML editors, not XML. --69.180.230.102 (talk) 15:35, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That's only because the syntax highlighting example image uses HTML, not XML. Someone with an XML editor should make a new example image using actual XML. This image is particularly inappropriate because the tags are all in uppercase, which is not valid XML. I'm not sure why the example is a table, rather than node data, either. Thus, it is not the page that is off-topic but the example images. Skreyola (talk) 17:21, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Reference
The DTD reference was an indirect ad for X-M-L-SPy, it has been removed.

Merge? What is a XML editor?
Please, writers need to use the correct "XML editor" concept. There are many sites about this kind of software:
 * http://www.xml.com/pub/rg/XML_Editors
 * http://www.linux.com/feature/43020

IT IS NOT ONLY A "XHTML EDITOR"! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.93.243.55 (talk) 13:01, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Wrong Redirection from "XM-LED" to "XML"
When typing in the search field "XM LED" people get redirected to "XML" article. Thats wrong and must be fixed. Thank you. P.S. The confusion is probably due to the fact, that "XM LED" is mostly written in short as "XM-L". Of course "XM-L" LED technology is not the same as the programing language "XML". --User1973 (talk) 15:04, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

✅ redirected to Light-emitting diode instead. -—Kvng 03:06, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

More extensive example
I believe the given example of editing XML is a good starting example. I would recommend keeping it. But I felt a strong urge to add a second example that begins to explore some of the rich capabilities of current XML editors, just to give a flavor of what the article is all about. XML is a means of representing structured information. I would like to see a screenshot that shows an editor giving a nicely indented and syntax-colored window, that shows how one can use the editor to keep syntax correct while easily inserting an element or updating one of its attributes. That shows how such editors will give multiple views to the user (e.g. a diagram and a source view, if not more). That points out that such editors, to be worth their salt, also get into related formats, such as XSLT, XQuery, XPATH, XML validation, and so forth. It is only by showing this deeper flavor that one can see why an XML Editor might be helpful, beyond using a general-purpose text-editor.

I'd be happy to supply such an example (I'm familiar with Liquid XML Studio), if the author wishes me to. But I thought I'd start with just the suggestion, and see if the author likes this idea, and if they would prefer to supply their own example. MarkGoldfain (talk) 17:09, 20 November 2012 (UTC)


 * There is no single author for any WP article. Nonetheless, I would suggest you start by improving Liquid XML Studio in the manner you described. -—Kvng 15:43, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
