viewer toolviewer toolPosted Nov 30, 2004 22:07 UTC (Tue) by alex (subscriber, #1355)In reply to: Re: It *is* human readable! by sdalley Parent article: Elektrified X.org released "A viewer tool" vi is my viewer tool. I'm probably sounding horribly snobbish about plain text files, but they require nothing more than an editor. If the tool isn't as easy to use as that then it will be all the harder to get acceptance. But thats just an engineering challange to be over come. Feel free, its all about solutions competing on merit ;-)

In the mean time Elektra has a tool to edit a subtree as an XML file.
