Synopsis

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is called extensible because it extends the flexibility of SGML to Web page creation and enables users to define document types that are easy to manage, transmit and share across the Web. This overview of XML introduces the structure of syntax of XML and includes a review of relevant SGML terminology and technology. It demonstrates how to create document types that are easy to author, manage, share and transmit across the Web. It discusses how to extend HTML by creating tags and attributes to automate data delivery. It also examines the important browsers, plug-ins, viewers and extensions, as well as everything needed to prepare a Web server to deliver XML content. Relationships between XML, HTML and SGML are compared and contrasted. The accompanying CD-ROM includes SGML capable browsers, full-blown sample Web sites based on the examples, pointers to on-line information, software, tools and code examples.
