While XML is employed in a variety of fields, editing XML document is still hard for the beginners and ordinary individuals. In this paper, we present a syntax-directed editor which is designed to provide unprofessional XML users with easy guides of using XML document. Along with the definition, abstract syntax (data structure of syntax-directed editor) would be explicitly defined. Components of the editor will be projected according to the projected definition of the abstract syntax rule of this paper. Moreover we show that the automatic generation of the abstract syntax rules coming from DTD would enhance the use of XML syntax-directed editor in faster and more precise ways. It could be easier to generate XML syntax-directed editor through a structure of abstract syntax and standard procedure of manufacturing syntax-directed editor.
