I am using a game that stores some of its user modified content in XML files. I don't think the entries are complicated but there is potentially a lot of data.
What I'd like is to have a program present me with a way to enter just text, and then it wraps the xml around the entries and I can add them to the content.
Can XML copy do this? What would I do?
Is there a better program that you'd suggest
Appreciate any answer or guidance.

I should be clarify. XML is used in this program mostly as a mark up language for in-game documentation. Their are no clean templates, just mostly-regular patterns. The data is repetitive though where it lists Spells or Monsters and it would be very elegant to have a framework to enter this information that reduced the necessary xml typing.

The program could certainly help you wrap text in markup, though I can't guarantee that it will be better than the competition at doing that.
What I can say is that it will be much quicker handling large files and auto-validating the content than the other editors I've seen.
If you have a sample file and/or schema, pls feel free to pm me so I can check how helpful the application would be in your case. You can reach me at gnschmidt at users dot sourceforge dot net.
Best,

Pity you can't edit your posts. My apologies to those seeing the errors.
