[Koha] WYSIWYG XML Editor Help

[Marc Véron]

Nicole, you are right, LibreOffice seems not to be a good tool to edit 
Docbook. Sorry for the mistake.

I did some more research for Docbook authoring tools and found following link:

http://wiki.docbook.org/DocBookAuthoringTools

 From this list, I tried out Serna (Open Source version) and had a much 
better impression. It is available for Mac.
