RE: [docbook-apps] DocBook editor

You really don’t want to go with MS Word. OpenOffice is OK but it’s not a wysiwyg editor. If that’s what you want, the low cost options are Serna (by Syntext) and Oxygen9. Of course, there’s Xmetal at a higher price.

Subject: [docbook-apps] DocBook editor

Hi.

I have been using XMLmind XXE as a DocBook editor and it works fine.

However I have been asked to investigate the possibility to use MS Word as an alternative and this is the reason for ma inquiry:

Does anybody have any experience in using MS Word as a DocBook editor?

Does it work?

Is it easy or hard to set up?

Is it easy or hard to use?

Thank you in advance.
