I simply use my favourite text editor (EditPad Pro) and code templates.
I don't use indentation in the XML files because unfortunately that
screws with some fpdoc output formats where spaces are kept in the
documentation. Lazarus's built-in doc editor doesn't allow for this as
far as I know.

You can obviously use Lazarus IDE's editor itself for editing those XML
files too.

EditPad Pro has the advantage that code templates can be better
organised, file navigation structures can be defined for easy
navigation, custom highlighting can be defined (though the default XML
highlighting is just fine), and EditPad Pro can do automatic
spell-checking on the content itself (ignoring XML tags).

jEdit is another very good and free (and cross platform) text editor.
