XML Training: Working With Files
Introduction to XML Tagging
for Typesetters
(2-day course, with hands-on computer exercises)
This practical course focuses on how to understand
and create XML files, and covers common uses of XML tools
on Macintosh or PC. In a combination of lecture
and hands-on exercises, participants learn to read and use the types of XML
files that typesetters and conversion vendors are likely to encounter: XML documents, DTDs, catalogs,
and tag libraries. Students learn the nuts and bolts of XML syntax, how to use XML tools
to create valid XML documents, and how DTDs and schemas work in an XML
application.
This hands-on course is designed for people who need to tag and work with XML content created by others, for example, by a commercial publisher. It can be taught on PC or Macintosh, and is often paired with “Introduction to XSLT and XPath for typesetters” which covers manipulation of XML files for typesetting.
Prerequisites: Participants need to know how to create and manipulate files, the basics of text editing, and how to create documents for some presentation application (e.g., Quark XPress, Ventura Publisher, PageMaker, FrameMaker, or an HTML browser).
