TUTORIALS - THURSDAY 25th SEPTEMBER

THURSDAY 25 September

9:00-5:00 Concurrent Tutorials

Introduction to Extensible Markup Language (XML)

Instructor: Tim Bray
Co-editor of XML
Principal, Textuality

XML, the Extensible Markup Language, is a true subset of SGML designed for use on the Internet. It supports most of the structural and validation features of SGML. However, as the name emphasises, the key feature inherited from SGML that will be of primary interest to the HTML user, is the ability of the individual to extend the language to include new elements and attributes.

This tutorial reviews the complete XML specification from top to bottom. Attendees leave with a comprehensive understanding of the XML specification at a level sufficient enough to construct a parser, as well as the motivation for all aspects of the design.

Introduction to DSSSL

Instructor: Mike Petree
Isogen Corporation

This one day DSSSL overview is designed for those who have been hearing about DSSSL and would like to know more about what it is and how it relates to SGML and Hytime. A general conceptual model of the transformation process and the formatting process will be demonstrated and practical examples will be be used for clarification. The overview will also include a demonstration of Jade, James Clarks DSSSL engine.

Nuts and Bolts of the SGML Declaration
