AXEL-FORMS for the impatient
Try the demonstration editor (we recommend to use Firefox). Once you have opened it in your browser, select a template folder and a template file name using the two popup menus next to the Template label; then click on the Visualize button to generate the corresponding editor. Start editing a document, and then use the Dump button to see the current XML content of the editor at any time.
Where to start ?
The best way to learn the library is to experiment with the sample templates and applications which are distributed with it.
Template authors should read the XTiger XML language specification. It is a good idea to look at the source of the demonstration templates in the templates folder. With Firefox you can click on the Source button in the demonstration editor to display the source of the current template. You can also write your own templates and test them with the demonstration editor by entering their path and clicking on Visualize.
Web application developers can read the documentation in progress and the wiki in addition to the above links. You can consult the HOWTO files to learn how to develop new binding and command objects if you want to extend the library. You can also look at the existing plugin, binding or command source files in the corresponding src/plugins, src/bindings or src/commands folders.
