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 10.9.0
Enhancements:
- Improved the usability of the Validity tool by rendering error messages in a nicer, more readable, way and also by adding two "sort errors" buttons. First button may be used to sort the error list with the most severe errors first. Second button may be used to sort the error list in document order (which was the only error order available in previous versions of XXE).
- Added an auto-update option to the dialog box displayed by "Help|Show Content Model" menu item. If the corresponding checkbox is checked, this option automatically updates the dialog box to always show the content model of selected element. This checkbox replaces the “manual update” button found in the previous version of the dialog box.
- "FlatLaf Look and Feel" add-on: updated FlatLaf to version 3.5.1 (On Linux, the "FlatLaf" light theme is used as the default Look & Feel.)
- Edit source" add-on: upgraded its RSyntaxTextArea components to version 3.4.1.
- Upgraded Saxon to version 12.5.
- Upgraded XMLResolver to version 5.2.5.
- Upgraded XMLmind Assembly Processor to version 2.0.1.
- Upgraded XMLmind Ebook Compiler (ebookc for short) to version 1.10.2.
- Upgraded XMLmind DITA Converter (ditac for short) to version 3.15.2.
- Upgraded XMLmind Web Help Compiler (whc for short) to version 3.5.2.
- Upgraded the XMLmind XSL-FO Converter (XFC for short) plug-in to version 6.4.3.
Bug fixes:
- All commands showing external online help in the web browser (e.g. "Help|Full Tutorial") opened http://www.xmlmind.com/ URLs. Now these commands open https://www.xmlmind.com/ URLs.
- The following xml-stylesheet processing instruction was ignored because its media pseudo-attribute contained a comma-separated list of media including "screen" and not just single media "screen":
- Note that media queries including media features like media="all and (max-width: 30em)" are still not supported.
- Supported media types are now documented in "XMLmind XML Editor - Support of Cascading Style Sheets (W3C CSS)".
Possible incompatibilities:
- Cross-reference errors are now considered to be less severe than semantic warnings and errors. As a consequence, support of system property XXE_SHOW_SEMANTIC_ERRORS, which was used to force this behavior, is now no longer needed and has been removed.

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.
