Use format highlighter editors, such as jEdit (http://www.jedit.org/) or an xml
editor, such as XMLMind (http://www.xmlmind.com/). Really I'am working on a
translation memory tool now (this is my last test in the college). It can
import/export markup language documents (linuxdoc/docbook among these). You can
found detailed information at http://tldp.fsf.hu/s3po/en/index.html or ask me.
(Unfortunately I havent't got any free time, so please wait...)
