Syntext Serna Free 4.4.0 Build 20111114.0

 Syntext Serna is a compact, easy-to-use and powerful application that can display and edit multiple file formats: XML, DITA, XSL, XSL-FO and more.

Authors with virtually no XML experience can start working with structured content in a familiar environment that looks much like a conventional word processor. Serna employs XSLT and XSL-FO to render documents in print-like appearance.

This approach gives a lot of opportunities for document rendering, such as localized generated content, profiled views, composition of a document from multiple chunks, in-line attribute editing, and others.

Serna offers exceptional DITA 1.1 support and comes with integrated DITA Open Toolkit. Flexible visualization of DITA maps and topics with the ability to resolve referred content and in-place editing of local conrefs greatly simplify DITA authoring.
