What do people on the dark side of
the force use for xml notepad equivalency?

 I refuse to install .NET and micrapsofts XML notepad...

 preferably java version i also have ubuntu available.

:: waits for perkiset to mention he avoids tools and memorizes it freehand in his mind and transcribes later to grain of rice ::   

 

any suggestions on good tools for win or linux? 

[perkiset]

I avoid tools, memorize it first but later backup to a grain of rice.

Then I use this: http://www.perkiset.org/forum/php/perks_xml_handler_class-t861.0.html

... because writing big stuff is just too hard by hand, so I do it all programmatically.

Yeah. Generally, I just use a naked hard-disk platter and a paperclip with a strong magnet duct-taped around the other end.

That's my IDE of choice for everything.

Personally just build DOM objects in PHP and generate XML that way.

Sure. Details can be found at http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/intro.dom.php - takes a little while to get used to the method but generally speaking its fairly easy.

Code:

$xml = new DOMDocument();

// Create Element
$testNode = $xml->createElement('TestNode');

// Add Attribute
$testNode->setAttribute('TestAttrib', 'myValue');

// Create an Element another way
$anotherNode = new DOMElement('AnotherNode');

// Appeand 'AnotherNode' as a child of 'TestNode'
$testNode->appendChild($anotherNode);

// Append 'TestNode' to document
$xml->appendChild($testNode);

// Display the XML
echo $xml->save();

Bit of a contrived example obviously, but thats the  general idea.
