Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a human-readable,
machine-understandable, general syntax for describing hierarchical
data, applicable to a wide range of applications (databases,
e-commerce, Java, web development, searching, etc.).
This book is for those professional developers who wish to add a
new language to their toolkit, and want to be in a position to
take advantage of the imminent explosion in voice-enabled
applications. This first installment of Chapter 7 covers VoiceXML
with XSLT (HTML and WML) and system architecture.
This second installment of Chapter 7 looks at creating a markup
language. This book is for those professional developers who wish
to add a new language to their toolkit, and want to be in a
position to take advantage of the imminent explosion in voice-
enabled applications.
This third and final installment of Chapter 7 examines the VoiceXML
Stylesheet. This book is for those professional developers who
wish to add a new language to their toolkit, and want to be in a
position to take advantage of the imminent explosion in voice-
enabled applications.
This second installment looks at a simple XSLT stylesheet,

Chapter 13 of Beginning XHTML, from Wrox Press covers different media
types and why they are necessary. Main subjects include the role of
Cascading Style Sheets in supporting media types, the differences
between media types and how to handle them and the future of style
sheets in XML.
Directory Services Markup Language, an XML schema designed to access
directories within XML programs, using familiar XML syntax and tools, without
having to use LDAP or proprietary directory-access APIs. If you need a
consistent way to work with multiple, dissimilar directories, you owe it to
yourself to check DSML out.
Update: XHTML 1.0 was released on January 26th as a
Recommendation by the W3C. XHTML 1.0 is the first step toward a
modular and extensible web based on XML (Extensible Markup
Language). It provides the bridge for web designers to enter the web
of the future, while still being able to maintain compatibility with
today's HTML 4 browsers.
SVG is positioned to have a major impact on Web graphics
because it enables resolution independent graphic rendering
either from static text files or when generated from databases,
and because it leverages many of the useful features of the XML
family of specifications.
Focuses on several inexpensive tools for editing XML: XML Pro,
XML Spy, Xeena, and XML EditorMaker. How to use
CSS (cascading Style
Sheets) or
XSL
(Extensible Stylesheet Language) to control both the
presentation and processing of your XML (especially in IE 5)
is also covered. A
more complete WDVL treatment of XSL will follow later
this summer and fall
when the
XSL Working Draft
becomes a full
W3C Recommendation.
A well-formed
document adheres to the syntax rules specified by the XML 1.0
specification. In this month's tutorial, we will look at those
