	<introduction>
		<html:div>The Visual Editor for XML is a set of plug-ins that provide 
		WYSIWYM editing ability for XML files, regardless of the XML 
		involved. Vex uses CSS stylesheets to provide the formatting for the 
		presentation layer. All that is needed is a stylesheet and an 
		appropriate XML file to edit. It hides the XML tags from the users, 
		allows them to have a word processor like experience but store the 
		information in the native XML format.</html:div>
		<html:div/>
		<html:div>Vex is based off of a contribution from the original Vex 
		project created by John Krasnay and hosted at sourceforge.net. In the 
		year 2008 this code was donated to Eclipse and has been an Eclipse 
		Web Tools Incubator component. In 2011, the project moved under the 
		hoods of the Mylyn Docs project.</html:div>
