Description

XMetaL is a full-featured XML and SGML content-creation solution that can quickly be tuned for productivity and tailored to meet the needs of content authors. Right out of the box, XMetaL gives users all the capabilities needed to create XML and SGML documents for any DTD. But XMetaL's true power comes from its ability to streamline content authoring. Using simple menu-based tools, XMetaL can quickly be configured for enhanced productivity. Easily set display styles with the CSS editor. Quickly create customized drop-down lists for changing elements. Automatically insert required elements by hitting Enter. Add to that XMetaL's context-sensitive element list and Attribute Inspector, and it can offer one of the most efficient editing environments available.

Use XMetal as a content-creation solution that can integrate within a content-management system and leverage technology infrastructure. XMetaL's extensible architecture, customizable dialogs, scripting support, and COM- and DOM-based APIs give users the power to take XML content creation to the next level by automating processes, accessing databases, manipulating content, and integrating with other applications.

To further enhance productivity, XMetaL allows users to tailor the editing environment for different user groups–anyone can author XML documents. Give IT managers access to XMetaL's complete editing and programming functionality. Provide content specialists with an interface optimized for a unique DTD. And expand the pool of content creators by developing a “tags off” word-processor-like interface that guides users through the creation of valid XML content. XMetaL lets more people create valid XML content at a quicker pace.
