XML can simplify production of documents for print, help and web delivery. It can make document components reusable, portable between platforms and easier to maintain. XML also has a dark side. Parts of the standard are turbulent, vendors are rushing XML products to market that are not fully standard-compliant, implementation
requires careful planning, and porting of legacy
documents to XML is not trivial.
Technical communicators can prosper by identifying the
parts of XML that can be implemented immediately, by
preparing documents to exploit support for XML
available in new versions of Microsoft Word and Adobe
FrameMaker, and by using hybrid HTML/XML for
document delivery. View all three works by Reichman, Katriel View all 2240 works published by STC Proceedings |

Abstract: XML can simplify production of documents for print, help and web delivery. It can make document components reusable, portable between platforms and easier to maintain. XML also has a dark side. Parts of the standard are turbulent, vendors are rushing XML products to market that are not fully standard-compliant, implementation
requires careful planning, and porting of legacy
documents to XML is not trivial.
Technical communicators can prosper by identifying the
parts of XML that can be implemented immediately, by
preparing documents to exploit support for XML
available in new versions of Microsoft Word and Adobe
FrameMaker, and by using hybrid HTML/XML for
document delivery.
