Have you tried Amaya? Available from the W3C (http://www.w3.org).
I know it works under Gnome, haven't played with it much more than 
to discover that it's not precisely what *I* wanted, but it might 
suit you.


And on my new topic:
Along the same lines, anyone know of a good SGML (pref Docbook, but 
any SGML editor)? For any platform?

What I MOST need is the ability to edit stylesheets without having
to hack the nwalsh DSSSL lisp-like stuff. The ability to edit the 
stylesheets in less than a day/week/month's serious hacking... :)

I want to use some sort of context formatting for my tech writing - 
which will range from the usual programmers-stuff which Docbook is 
terrific for as it stands, to stuff for managers which needs to (for 
instance) NOT have section numbering.

So I want to be able to edit multiple style sets. Have the standard
Docbook style set for programmers-stuff, have a variant for user
tutorials, another for user manuals, another for business proposals...

Advice? Help? Tea?
