· Possibility to open many documents both types - You can process several data XML files through one
XSL transformation, or on the contrary - to design several stylesheets and try how they work on a single XML
· Template to create a new XSL or XML document - For an user who is not quite familiar with the structure of XML/XSL file it will be useful to start with a common template of the document.

· Recent tags memorizer - The program remember all tags you have typed and all of them already were in the file before. You can then simple insert them to the document.
· XSL transformation tool - Just open both XML and XSL document, and apply the transformation. If there is an error, the cursor will be placed to the position when the error has occured.
· Inplace browser preview - Each document can be shown in built in browser. You can easy switch between views by key combination.
· Text normalizer - If an XML document well-formed, you can apply the normalize tool. Text will be indent by its hieararhy structure.
