Author Description

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a design language that permits the user to develop a customized markup language for a unique document, whether it is text or data. As the use of XML becomes more widespread, a comprehensive guide to its features is needed. George Doss provides such a reference with "Learn XML Tips". This book uses the frequently asked questions (FAQ) format to provide concise answers about a range of subjects, including designing an XML DTD, dialects, processing, and the implications of using XML with Internet Explorer 5.0. The appendices include a glossary, the XML production rules, and the differences between XML and SGML, and XML and HTML. The companion CD contains a 10-use trial version of Extensibility Inc.'s Turbo XML, which includes XML Authority, XML Instance, and XML Console. George M. Doss is a technical writer in Dallas, Texas, with over 20 years of experience in the computer and telecommunications fields. His titles with Wordware include "CORBA Developer's Guide with XML" and "Learn Red Hat Linux OS Tips".
