Verify the file

That is what lets you verify the file without having to trust anyone.
The first three minutes
- Run the installer, then open Debug XML Tool.
- Open a stylesheet and the XML document it transforms.
- Set a breakpoint in the gutter, to the left of a template line, and run the transformation.
Be told about new releases
There is no auto-update: without your address you will not know that a new release is out, nor what your twelve months of updates entitle you to.
Nothing to create, nothing to activate
The trial runs for 30 days and asks for no account, no address, no key. What you have just downloaded is enough.
The tool makes no network calls: what you open inside it does not leave your machine.
