Karl,
You're very welcome, and I apologize if I came off as abrupt about the
OT-ness. Just because your question was off topic does not (at all!)
mean it was not of interest to readers of this list.
You may want to consider a range of options, for your gatekeepers to
use according to personal preference. If they use text editors, they
can learn to use XML editors or XML add-ons to the their text editors.
Liam mentioned xmllint and there are other command-line options. Maybe
they would be interested in xmlsh, a set of utilities in the form of a
shell. Etc. If you encourage them to try a few different things you
might be able to get them to teach each other.
If they are really not "technical" (which can mean a lot of things, as
there are many ways to be technical than to be expert with computers
:-) they may be most at home with one of the lightweight editors you
can find on line.
Undertaking a survey of the present state of the art in XML editors at
the free or low-cost end would -- again -- be off-topic ...
... unless it were reframed as "what's the state of the art in
low-cost or free editing applications to enable 'non-technical' users
to correct broken 'XML' and fix it for XSLT" ... one might manage to
get that on topic by stressing the last point. :->
What sorts of applications do your non-technical users already know
and like to use? What operating systems are they running?
Are they already viewing the XML in a styled display through CSS or
XSLT? Have they ever seen angle brackets?
Cheers, Wendell
