SITE UPDATE: An XML Primer for Technical Communicators: Part One

You may not dream in PERL or know a single dialect of Geek, but XML is
something that's useful to know, even for non-programmers! Sean Hower
gives you the lowdown on this ubiquitous metalanguage.

ANNOUNCE: DTDs--To Build or To Buy?

Should you develop a custom DTD (build) or adapt an existing standard
DTD like DITA or DocBook (buy)? Because a DTD provides the foundation
for every part of the system, from editing tools to content repository
to output processors, this decision is perhaps the most important of
all decisions made in the implementation of an XML-based content
management system.

In this issue of The Rockley Bulletin, we explore Document Type
Definitions (DTDs) and examine the pros and cons of building a DTD from
scratch versus adapting a standard DTD like DITA or DocBook. We also
provide you with useful links to resources that will help you learn
about DTDs, XML, and information about visual DTD creation and editing
tools.

The Rockley Bulletin is a free web-based newsletter that provides
readers with timely and relevant information on content
management-related issues. Each month the Bulletin delivers summaries
of content management strategies, technological issues, useful
resources, book reviews, information about upcoming educational events,
and, more. Subscribers are alerted via email when a new issue is
published.

About posting ads:
Announcements on the TECHWR-L Premium Announcement posting
cost $50 to contact over 5100 TECHWR-L subscribers
directly each day for a week.

In an effort to provide a free service that allows you to post
announcements, jobs, and events, however, we have established other
services:

The TECHWR-L Calendar provides a free resource for you
to post announcements, activities, and events:
http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/calendar/

The TECHWR-L Employment Central provides a free resource
for you to post, browse, and search job listings and personal
profiles:
http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/employment/

The TECHWR-L Daily Summary Mailing, a separate mailing list
that summarizes new content posted to Employment Central and
the Calendar, can further help get your
message out to interested people:
http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/daily-announce-info.html

These resources are available at no cost to anyone, posters
or seekers, TECHWR-L subscribers or not. We encourage you to
regularly use these free services.

For jobs, announcements, and events that you specifically
want to be mailed directly to all 5100+ TECHWR-L subscribers
in the TECHWR-L Premium Daily Announcement, please contact Lisa
(lisa -at- techwr-l -dot- com) or submit your paid ad at
