How to set up HTML and XML editors in Microsoft Vista

Open authoring

PRPC supports open authoring. You can set up editors, such as Adobe Systems Inc. Dreamweaver to help you write HTML and XML. After you set up an editor, you can start it by clicking the pencil icon () on the correspondence, HTML, and several other rule forms.

If you don't set up any editor as described here, PRPC uses Windows Notepad as your XML and HTML editor.

If you don't have an XML or HTML editor and expect to do only a modest amount of editing, TextPad™ is an inexpensive Windows text editor from Helios Software that supports both XML and HTML markup.
