We have an XML schema with a rather complicated grammar for one of our products, for which we need a "basic" graphic editor that can create basic documents based on the schema (complex material can always be executed in programming mode).
WYSIWYG is more or less impossible / a waste of time to do meaningfully, so I am exploring WYSIWYM solutions.
Since the application is based on a web interface, it would be very nice if the editor could also be a website.
I played with jaxe and our circuit quite a bit, and that is pretty much what I am looking for. However, the customization tool does not give us enough control over how the document is rendered - the decisions that I can come up with leave us with an XML editor and not a “document editor”, “know”. Desire for something closer to WinForms à la Visual Studio.
We have a pretty clear vision of what an ideal editor will look like, and (I think) jaxe will not let us build it. This and this is not a website (without applet).
The Wymeditor editor looks like a pretty solid tool, created for XHTML in a style similar to what we would like, but I suspect you yourself created it from scratch - and not too keen on it.
I believe my question is, does anyone have any recommendations regarding existing technologies or approaches that will help us create an editor, as I (probably badly) described?
