XML is one of the hot topics in Web technology. More
and more XML sites are being developed every day.
You've probably seen XML without realizing it. It's also
showing up in specific tools for technical writers: Sun's
JavaHelp uses XML components. But when you try to
learn about this exciting new technology, when you
review the many books that are appearing on shelves, or
sites popping up on the Web, you'll find that the
information that is available is mostly aimed at
developers. This session cuts through the technical detail
to the core of XML, to the value that it brings to technical
writers and their users.
Unlike HTML, which is based on a specific set of tags,
XML allows you to define your own tags. This means
you have the ability to tag information based on content
rather than format structure.

Abstract: XML is one of the hot topics in Web technology. More
and more XML sites are being developed every day.
You've probably seen XML without realizing it. It's also
showing up in specific tools for technical writers: Sun's
JavaHelp uses XML components. But when you try to
learn about this exciting new technology, when you
review the many books that are appearing on shelves, or
sites popping up on the Web, you'll find that the
information that is available is mostly aimed at
developers. This session cuts through the technical detail
to the core of XML, to the value that it brings to technical
writers and their users.
Unlike HTML, which is based on a specific set of tags,
XML allows you to define your own tags. This means
you have the ability to tag information based on content
rather than format structure.
