docbook wysiwyg editor for the web

Question

Is there any ready-to-go docbook editor for web applications out there? I'm thinking of something like FCKeditor or TinyMCE that returns a docbook xml code back to the web application. I am aware that FCKeditor is customizable to do this, but I have not heard of anyone who did this.

Answer 1

I think you are looking for an online docbook IDE or an editor that automates a lot of the XML rigmarole associated with the docbook format.

You could try the oXygen editor http://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_editor/docbook_editor.html . Their trial is 30 days to see if you like it.

Hopefully that gives you some new google terms as well, but that is all I have.

(If, in addition to a good tool for what you need, you find a nice graphical validator. I would love to see something that works better for my work flow than command line jing.)

Answer 2

Maybe the Xopus web based XML editor does the trick? http://xopus.com/xopus-web-based-wysiwyg-xml-editor.html It has support for Dita and Docbook.
