Does DXL editor offer syntax hi-lighting, font change, or line numbers?
Answer
IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS (DOORS)' native DXL Editor is primitive and does NOT offer syntax hi-lighting, font change, or line numbers.
There are two ways to make DXL editing a better experience
1) Use Notepad++ with a third-party syntax file for DXL
Download the following file and rename it to DXL_Syntax_Notepad_plus_plus.xml

In Notepad++ menu, Language > User Defined Language > Define your language... > Import...
Select DXL_Syntax_Notepad_plus_plus.xml and click 'Open'
Restart Notepad++
2) Use a third-party DXL editor
