X2XL^TM

X2XL is integrated with the Arbortext Epic Editor. This integration provides the ability to use Excel as a table editor directly from Epic. The user selects the table tag in Epic and can launch X2XL and Excel to perform WYSIWYG table editing directly in-line with the other XML content.

Here is an example of what the user is presented from the above example when a table is selected for edit or viewing via the X2XL menu integration. Note the rich text conversion directly from the XML content model for bold, Italic, superscript and subscript. Font sizes and types can also be controlled through X2XL configuration and stylesheets.
