User commentary
Please sign all comments.

2007-2008: I have used XML Copy editor in classes teaching XML, TEI & XHTML and participated in the Chinese localization of the interface. Having much fewer functions than production line tools such as Oxygen actually helps beginners to get into the validate & transform routine on which much of XML-work is based. (M.Bingenheimer, May 2008)

System requirements
Available for Windows and Linux.

Source code and licensing
Open-source (GNU General Public License)

Support for TEI
In version 1.2.1.3, the "New" menu option offers the possibility of creating a "TEI document" (no further choices are possible), which results in the insertion of  with the basic tree of obligatory elements. Existing documents can be validated with the tei_all and tei_minimal schemas (menu: XML | Validate).

An RNG schema association for the current document has to be set upon starting the validation action for the 1st time in a session ("F6"). Schematron is not mentioned.

The editor offers element and attribute completion.

Language(s)
Interface in English.
