HTML editors and custom tags

This isn't exactly a struts specific question so forgive me...

Does anyone know of an html/xml editor that will let me
give it a create a custom definition file of the struts tags
so I can visually edit the struts custom tags.

What I have in mind is telling the editor that
for example <struts:form ..../> is really like HTML <form .../>
Is this what XLS or XHTML are ???

Thank in advance for any pointers !!!

Rob

I know you can teach Dreamweaver 3 (Ultradev?) to handle your custom
tag libraries. I have seen it done for other tag libraries. You just
drag-n-drop your tags from a palette and use a property sheet to fill
in the parameters. 

It would be really cool if someone could make a Dreamweaver extension
to make it handle struts tags. We have thought of doing it ourselves
at some point, but right now we don't have the resources. It would be
a really good "selling point" for struts if we had this support.
