Welcome to the XML Bible. After reading this book I hope you’ll agree with me that XML is the most exciting development on the Internet since Java, and that it makes Web site development easier, more productive, and more fun. This book is your introduction to the exciting and fast growing world of XML. In this book, you’ll learn how to write documents in XML and how to use style sheets to convert those documents into HTML so legacy browsers can read them. You’ll also learn how to use document type definitions (DTDs) to describe and validate documents. This will become increasingly important as more and more. | XML Bible Elliotte Rusty Harold IDG BOOKS WORLDWIDE IDG Books Worldwide Inc.
