Well, they give you _a_ rendered view anyway. Lists look
like lists, tables look like tables (and you can drag column borders to change
widths), images are rendered in place. Serna uses xsl/xsl-fo to drive its
rendered view. XXE and XMetaL use CSS with some extensions. You might have
buttons to show or hide certain content (e.g. <remark>s, and internal or
reviewer only content) that likewise may or may not be shown in a given output.
Our inline glossterms are light green in the editor (as a convenience to the
writer) but are not formatted at all in pdf and show up as tooltip popups with
light underlining in html. XXE and (I think) Serna can show you xincluded
text inline and (again I think) let you edit it in place.

Docbook Editors
How can XML editors be WYSIWYG, when there's no way to tell what a
document will look like after XSLT?
Or do they basically do
"on-the-fly" transformations, to preview what it will look like in HTML, in
print, etc.?
Just curious.

can be scripted to do anything, but it doesn't have many friendly

macros out of the box. The included demo Journalist DTD is
similar to
DocBook and those macros and features can be converted by
renaming some
elements. XMLMind's XXE and Syntext's Serna offer much
better DocBook
support out of the box. I know Arbortext's Epic has
DocBook support, but
I'm not sure what it has out of the box wrt
convenience macros. I think
those are the main four commercial wysiwyg
editors these
days.
