Serna ensures XML content is always valid in terms of XML structure and business rules: Serna instantly ensures consistency of structured XML content, automatically inserts unambiguously required elements, shows where an element is required, provides you with a list of allowed elements/attributes, prevents the creation of invalid structured XML content. With context-sensitive help for elements/attributes, you won't be lost even in a large Schema/DTD.

Choose a Preferred Document View

Rendering with XSLT stylesheets and powerful profiling features provide total flexibility of presentation and different views for a single document, letting you look at the structured XML content from all the possible angles. You can switch between different views of a document by changing the applied set of particular values of XSLT stylesheet parameters. For example, a Docbook document can be rendered with gray draft areas that allow you to edit meta-information or without them.
