Mallard plugin for gedit?

[Mario Blättermann <mariobl freenet de>]

Hi all,

I'm still missing a convenient way to write Mallard based XML files.
Good old Conglomerate cannot handle Mallard, and it rests in peace
anyway for a long time.

But there is the so-called "tag list" plugin for gedit. It provides a
simple way to paste some kind of tags in text files. Currently HTML,
XHTML, XUL and some other formats are supported. The plugin is part of
the gedit-plugins package. Having a first look at it, I've seen that the
list is parsed from XML definitions like this:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<TagList xmlns="http://gedit.sourceforge.net/some-location";>
<TagGroup _name="Latex — Tags" sort="true">
  <Tag _name="Bibliography (cite)">
    <Begin>\cite{ </Begin>
    <End> } </End>
  </Tag>

  <Tag _name="Bibliography (item)">
    <Begin>\bibitem{ </Begin>
    <End> }{} &#10;</End>
  </Tag>

...

(Example from the file for LaTeX)


Would it be an advantage to have such a plugin? If yes, I would write it
and send it to the gedit-plugin maintainers. Or knows anybody a better way?


Cheers,
Mario
