The goal of the XMLtype project is to create a
console-based editor of XML document-oriented
files in UTF-8 encoding. It is designed from the
beginning for multilingual use, even for writing
bi-directional texts (e.g. mixed English and
Hebrew). The design focuses on comfortable and
fast typing of well-formed XML documents. Thus
XMLtype is not meant to compete with advanced
console editors like Emacs or VIM. For full
functionality, XMLtype requires UTF-8 console
support. It is being developed under Linux and for
the ANSI/VT-100 terminal.
