I frequently have to edit .kml (Google Earth) files, these can get really hard to deal with in an ordinary editor, and I need a little more than syntax highlighting, I need to be able to validate the .kml before opening in GE.

someone recommended jedit to me for this but I find it a bit sluggish and hard to configure to work properly with .kml, any recommendations? A plugin for gedit perhaps? Maybe something for emacs, yes I use emacs too.

  • A great plain text editor (not only for XML) is [Atom.io](https://atom.io/) but in particular for KML files take a look to [this answer](https://askubuntu.com/a/18530/349837). – Pablo Bianchi May 28 '17 at 01:21

I recommend the XML Copy Editor, available as xmlcopyeditor from the Software Centre.

It does both syntax highlighting and document validation.
