I expect that learning to use git and how to build is more of an

it straight forward.
Andrew, thanks! for words of encouragement.
Somewhere a document says that the Gimp XML lines should be no more
than 87(?) characters long. The README says "Use any editor you want,
but you should handle it well. Please keep in mind, that the tab width
in XML Mode should be 2 spaces."
So any recommendations on an xml editor? Preferably one that can be
set to automatically use the right line length and tab width? And
preferably can validate?
I use Linux, what is your operating system?
I installed Kate. I do not remember what I tried before settling on Kate.
http://l10n.kde.org/docs/doc-primer/kate.html
This editor is available for multiple operating systems:
http://xml-copy-editor.sourceforge.net/
I know that I was using it for a while.
From my personal point of view, eclipse (too big), vim (never
learned), and jedit (I don't like java-based programs) are not
options. Currently I use bluefish for html and geany for writing code.
A quick search for xml editors that run on Linux turns up too much to
choose from, although xmlcopyeditor looks promising.
Oh, if only I had read a little bit further :-)
I would say that you give one a try and if you really like it, keep
using it, otherwise, try another.
I do not remember if you can set margins or not. I have been
concentrating on my OpenOffice documentation lately, which I create in
OpenOffice.
Also, I can write html as easily as writing plain text. Is there a
utility that converts from html to xml? It seems like it might be
easier for me to modify "gimp-imaging-color-management.html" and
"gimp-pimping.html#gimp-prefs-color-management" to make sure
everything looks and reads like I want it to, and then convert the
html to xml, if that's possible, and then clean up the resulting xml,
if necessary.
