Syntext Serna with WebDAV support

posted 05:20PM Aug 02, 2005 with tags by Lars Trieloff

Ilia Kuznetsov announces the release 2.3 of the WYSIWYG-XML-Editor (with support for DocBook, DITA and others) Syntext Serna. In the Release Notes you can find some interesting tidbits:
  • WebDAV support - this is great for collaborative working, especially with Subversion
  • Support for XInclude parse="text", which allows you to include text files as text. This is great if you would like to include code examples that are maintained in a separate file. To my knowledge Serna is the only WYSIWYG-XML-Editor with this feature.

If you are interested in the WebDAV features, you should buy an license (starting from 89 USD) soon, as they plan to introduce an Enterprise Version which will be the only product including this feature.

Interesting Coincidence

I just saw an older comment by Bruno Vernay who pointed me to the Bibster project, which is a P2P semantic web search engine for scientific reseach.

Some time ago I had the possibility to listen to Professor Steffen Staab, who incited this project and thought it was a really nice idea and wondered wether I already heard about it.

XSLT syntax highlighting for Xalan

posted 04:57PM Aug 02, 2005 with tags by Lars Trieloff

Lars Gersmann has released the sourcestyle xalan extension which is an extension for the Xalan XSLT processor that utilizes the jEdit synatx highlighting package in order to allow syntax highlighting of Code fragments in XML documents.

This is very similar to the Goshaky XSLT Processor Syntax Highlighting extensions I wrote some months ago. The main difference between the two packages seems to be that sourcestyle is integrated with the EclipseXSLT plugins, while my extension support Xalan as well as Saxon.
