XML editor

Hi there,

I hate editing xml files with vim, nano, kate, what have you.

Conglomerate I found to be a reasonable xml editor but it is sadly lacking from the standard repos and I haven't found one yet using pacman.

[root@myhost ~]# pacman -Ss xml|grep editor
[root@myhost ~]#

What does everybody use?

There shouldn't be any reason to learn more editor types than emacs or vi -- mg (1)

Thanks! It really looks as though I have to get my head round this AUR thing - there seems to be a bunch of stuff there I'm after.

Having checked the wiki, however, I am still as clueless as newborn baby on that front . I tried following the AUR User Guide but a community repo without an entry in pacman.conf is still mind boggling to me. Will read up on the matter though...

Re: XML editor

Geany or Vim, depends what you like more.
You could even try to use emacs, if you don't mind experiencing any of the following: dry mouth, blurred vision, drowsiness, dizziness, profuse sweating, tremors, sexual problems, headache, nausea, abdominal pain.
