XML Editors according to Copilot


XML editors are specialized tools for creating, editing, validating, and formatting XML documents, available both online and as desktop applications.

Online XML Editors
This browser-based editor allows you to edit, format, and share XML data easily. It supports tree view visualization, beautification, and conversion between XML and CSV. Users can edit XML directly or via URL linking, and no login is required for basic use, though saving privately requires an account. It works across Windows, Mac, Linux, and major browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge 

.
A free, browser-based editor designed for iterative editing. You can paste XML documents, modify elements and attributes inline, and validate them with a single click. It supports large files, up to 5 MB, and ensures privacy since all parsing occurs locally in the browser. Features include syntax highlighting, undo/redo, and customizable formatting options like spaces or tabs 


This JavaScript-based editor provides syntax coloring, automatic error checking, and customizable viewing options such as line numbering and active line highlighting. It is simple, free, and ad-free, making it ideal for quick edits or validation of XML documents 

.

Desktop XML Editors
1. XML Editor (Microsoft Store)
A Windows application offering both code mode and designer mode. Code mode allows direct editing of XML markup, while designer mode provides a visual interface with drag-and-drop elements, tree view navigation, and attribute management. Features include syntax highlighting, auto-completion, validation against DTD or XSD schemas, and previewing the final document 

.
2. XML Notepad
A lightweight, intuitive editor for Windows that supports tree view synchronized with node text view, incremental search, drag-and-drop manipulation, and in-place multi-line editing. It offers instant XML schema validation, Intellisense for elements and attributes, and good performance even with large files. It also supports importing CSV, JSON, and HTML files and converting them to XML 


Key Features to Consider
Syntax Highlighting & Auto-Completion: Helps prevent errors and speeds up editing.

Tree View & Designer Mode: Useful for visualizing document structure and editing without writing code.

Validation: Ensures XML is well-formed and conforms to DTD or XSD schemas.

Cross-Platform Support: Online editors work on any OS, while desktop editors may be OS-specific.

Privacy & Security: Browser-based editors like OpenFormatter process data locally, protecting sensitive information.

Choosing the right XML editor depends on your workflow: online editors are convenient for quick edits and sharing, while desktop editors provide advanced features for large or complex XML projects.

New Accounts

You can set up a new account to save your wardrobe but can't order anything until you get measured. Setting up a new account will prompt you to make an appointment with the nearest certified seamstress allowed to measure you. This potentially tells us where to go certify a bunch of new people. If enough people create an account in x city, we make sure to arrange a certified seamstress as soon as possible if there isn't one yet.

The Norway Problem

The Norway Problem - why StrictYAML refuses to do implicit typing and so should you Norway abbreviates as NO. This is a real word and some programs will alter that to a programming command, such as "False." A workaround in some cases is to put it in quotation marks, but you may not know that ahead of time. There are other cases like this, such as a person whose last name is Null . Found via HN . Related reading: Principle of least astonishment A textbook formulation is: "People are part of the system.

I only use those four these days because they were made available after planet Earth moved to mobile first as its standard.  Those four are mobile friendly templates. The older ones are not, so they don't play well on a phone and my internet life is 99 percent on my phone. I have a lousy never updated website and lousy never updated reddit called pocket puter because my phone is my window on the world. One part poverty, one part physical limitations from my medical situation.  I don't think I have a single blog using Contempo. I have a few using Notable and Emporio but most of my blogs are the Soho template and I've been removing the pointless decorative photo on the landing page that I used to think I needed  because my sites are pretty stripped down, bare bon...
