<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>
