| Limitations- XMLmind XML Editor (XXE) cannot be used to edit the physical
structure of an XML document (entities, CDATA sections, marked
sections).
Any well-formed XML document making use of these features
can, of course, be opened in XXE, but as soon as the document is loaded,
these constructs are expanded and forgotten. Note that this
limitation is not as severe as it seems because - XXE supports the authoring of modular documents (even very fine
grained ones). More info in the tutorial.
- When needed and when possible, XXE saves characters as
references to character entities.
- XXE can be configured to save specific elements (example: XHTML
script) as CDATA sections.
- XXE has not been designed to make it easy working with non-parsed
entities and notations.
- XXE cannot open non-well formed XML documents.
- XXE is not namespace aware when used to edit documents conforming to
a DTD. For all the other cases: W3C XML Schema, RELAX NG, no grammar at
all, XXE is fully namespace aware.
This is not really a limitation but
rather a design decision which, in our opinion, makes the editor simpler
to use and more consistent. Note that this policy does not prevent
the interchange of documents with other XML applications (e.g. XSLT
processors). - XXE should run fine on any platform supporting JavaTM
1.5+. However it is officially supported only on:
- Windows 2000/XP/Vista with the Windows Look and Feel (LAF),
- Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and 10.5 (Leopard) with the Macintosh
LAF,
- Linux 2.4+ with the Metal LAF.
Note that, as of v3.6.0, Windows NT and Mac OS X 10.3
(Panther) are no longer officially supported. It is possible to
use XXE on other platforms (e.g. Solaris) and/or with other LAFs (e.g.
GTK), but without support from XMLmind.
