XMLmind overview
XMLmind is a strictly validating, near WYSIWYG editor for DocBook, DITA, MathML, XHTML, and XML. Because XMLmind is highly extensible, it may be also be used to create documents conforming to your own custom schema. Its users are generally technical writers who need to author large, complex, modular, documents. XMLmind is also available as attractively priced, "special editions" called: XMLmind DITA Editor, XMLmind DocBook Editor, XMLmind XHTML Editor. XMLmind Personal Edition is free to use by many persons and organizations.
What’s new in version 10.10.0
Bug fixes:
- Command "start helper() foo.bar" (meaning open file "foo.bar" using whatever helper application the user specified in Options|Preferences, "Helper applications" section) did not work when in the "Helper Application Editor" dialog box, "Use text editor" was selected to open ".bar" files.
- CSS support, margin-left example: "margin-left: 200px; margin-left: 55%;" was parsed as "margin-left: 0" because percentage margins are not supported by XXE therefore margin-left was reset to 0, the default value of this property. Now "margin-left: 200px; margin-left: 55%;" is parsed as "margin-left: 200px" and, of course, the unsupported value warning about "margin-left: 55%" is still reported.
- If, using the View menu, an alternate CSS stylesheet was selected for a document (e.g. "Emulate Web Browser" for an HTML page) and this document was closed and then immediately reopened, the chosen alternate CSS stylesheet was indeed used again but its menu item (e.g. the "Emulate Web Browser" menu item) in the View menu was not checked.
- The Reload, "Go Back" and "Go Forward" buttons of the help browser were disabled for many page navigation cases where they obviously shouldn't be.
- The EPUB files generated using DITA BookMap, Map or Topic|Convert Document|Convert to EPUB, were rendered without any style by Apple Books®.
- The EPUB files generated using DITA or DocBook Convert Document|Convert to EPUB and having a CSS stylesheet customized using Options|Customize Configuration|Customize Document Conversion Stylesheets, were rendered without any stock style by Apple Books®.

Version: 9.5.0
Comments are with respect to the Personal Edition:
It's amateur hour.
You can't drag a file onto the icon to open it, when you open files you multiple instances of the application instead of multiple windows. The ONLY way to open a file is to use the menu. I presume this is because the application is not properly registering itself with the system. If they can't get the basics right it gives me no confidence in exploring much further.

Version: 5.2.1
there is no free personal edition anymore; the download link is dead, and when investigating on the site, it appears that only a 30-day demo version of the professional version exists now.

Seems to work (Jaguar). The standard edition enables XHTML and DocBook authoring.
