XML Documentation

xs3p is a schema documentation generator. Basically, it is an XSLT stylesheet that will generate an XHTML document from an XSD schema. Some of its cool features are:

It provides links that allow the user to jump to the documentation of schema components that are referenced.
It provides a view of schema components' constraints as a sample XML instance.
For global type definitions, it shows the super- and sub- types of the type definition.
For global element declarations, it shows the substitution groups that the element declaration heads or belongs to.
It can sort schema components by type and name.
It has a glossary section which explains some XML Schema terminology.
