XML Training: Working With Files

Introduction to XSLT and XPath
for Typesetters

(3-day course, with hands-on computer exercises)

XSLT is a transformation language that makes it easy to work with, manipulate, and change XML files. XPath is a language for stating what part of a document you want an XSLT expression to transform. Through lecture, practical examples, and hands-on exercises, participants learn how to read and understand the XSLT and XPath syntax that typesetters are most likely to need, and practice some of the simple transformations that are common in creating a website or print publication from an XML source file.

This course is intended for people with experience manipulating and using tagged files such as desktop publishing files, typesetting files, or Web sites, and who need to fix file coding or tagging problems, or manipulate tagged files or pre-publication data.

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). Also required is a working knowledge of XML, or completion of an XML course.
