Customization Service

The problem and its solution

XMLmind XML Editor is a highly extensible application. But what if you want to adapt it to your needs and cannot do it yourself or hire a consultant to do it for you?

We have an easy-to-purchase, affordable, solution to this problem: product "XML Editor - Customization Service" (reference xe-su). USD150/EUR125 buys you one hour of customization service.

Explain us by email what you want and we'll tell you how much units of product xe-su you'll have to purchase. Once we receive your payment, we'll start working for you and after at most seven working days, you'll receive your customization packaged as an easy-to-install add-on.

How to proceed

  1. Send us (e-mail address of services) an email, in English, explaining what you want as precisely as possible.

    We can create customizations of any of our stock configurations (DocBook, DITA, XHTML, etc). Typically, this involves creating custom commands (with corresponding keyboard shortcuts and/or tool bar buttons) and customizing the HTML, PDF, RTF, etc, generated using the "Convert Document" menu.

    Actual examples:

    • Write custom commands in JavaTM.
    • Write custom stylesheet extensions or Gadgets in JavaTM.
    • Sponsor, that is, pay just a small part of the actual development costs, the development of a generic feature.

      Example of such sponsored feature: the View|Display Images submenu. (This submenu needs to be enabled by using Options|Preferences, General|Features section.)

    • Customize the XSLT stylesheets used to convert DITA documents.
    • When you cannot wait for next release (a new version of XXE is released every 2-3 months), pay to get an urgent patch.
  2. If this can be done within the framework of product "XML Editor - Customization Service" (reference xe-su), we'll tell you how much units of product xe-su you'll have to purchase.

    In the vast majority of cases, this number of units should vary from 1 to 4.

  3. If you are interested, you'll have to purchase online or by wire transfer the indicated number of units of product xe-su.
  4. Once we receive your payment, we'll start working for you.

    If, for technical or staffing reasons, we find that we cannot implement what you want, we'll refund your money.

  5. After at most seven working days, you'll receive your customization packaged as an easy-to-install add-on.

    This add-on is all yours, as if you did it yourself. There is no copyright or license attached to it.

    If developing the add-on involves writing one or more commands in JavaTM, we will include in the deliverable the full source code, as well as an ant build.xml file allowing to easily rebuild the corresponding .jar file.

    This add-on is perennial. It is expected to work fine with all future versions of XMLmind XML Editor. If you find that this is no longer the case, we'll upgrade your add-on for free.
