Question

Software that hides XML tags for easy editing?

Jun 2, 2014 4:04AM PDT

Unfortunately I know very little about XML files and software in general.

Are there any free software that filter out XML tags, or hide them in the background to show only what will be seen by end users? Preferably something that is compatible with Windows systems.

I have to translate text within XML tags, and it's really difficult to separate tags from actual content.

Thanks.

Doesn't that depend on what program the end user uses to view the XML file? If a bowser is used (like Internet Explorer) he sees the tags.
So please tell more about what you're doing.
