What editor are you using to make new rulebook modules?
I tried Notepad++, XML Notepad and Bred, but they are not quite suitable for this task. Maybe there are some more usable editors for this taks?

I use Notepad++

It performs nicely for what I need and it's free.

I've used XML Copy Editor (https://xml-copy-editor.sourceforge.net/). I've been pretty pleased with it, from a newbie point of view.

i use Adobe Dreamweaver for all creation and editing of XML files. once you get used to it it has tons of features to help speed things up.

Well yeah it's free and all, but it is not very handy for me as i am not yet used to xml syntax. It looks much like html with styles but never the less...

Are these plugins free and if yes can you plz tell where i can get them? :)

I prefer VIM. It gives really nice syntax highlighting and once you get familiar with it can easily do anything some of the more elaborate text editors can aside from collapsing tags.

I use Notepad++ with the xml addins

And thanks to XP mode in Windows 7 my large formatted text and tables sections are once again done with my venerable copy of Dreamweaver 8.
