Serna 1.5 WYSIWIG XML

Syntext has released for Mac OS X, a WYSIWYG XML editor that incorporates on-the-fly XSL-driven rendering technology, making "XML easily accessible to authors of technical and business documents." Version 1.5 also offers XML catalog support, enhanced UNICODE symbol manipulation, basic XHTML support, and out-of-box support for NITF (News Industry Text Format), Docbook 4.3, and DITA 1.3. The interface mimicks that of a conventional word processor, and its growing base of supported industrial DTDs is now complemented with XslBricks, an XSL template library, which allows XSL developers to build new simple stylesheets very quickly. It is available for 15% off ($254) until June 1st.
