Then check out LEOS - Legislation Editing Open Software, an open source software delivered under ISA² Action 2016.38 Legislation Interoperability Tools – LegIT.

Drafting new legislation is a complex and time-consuming process involving many actors. This process, with increasing pan-European dimensions, can be made easier with LEOS, a free tool that facilitates the editing/reviewing of legislative texts and generates legislation produced in a format supporting interoperability between European institutions and between Member States. LEOS enables users to create and draft legislative acts via a web user interface, where the document content is stored in an XML format.
