2. Documentation & Validation  Go Top

2.1 On-line Validation  Go Top

Note: You may need to change DTD's local system identifiers. The programs must be able to get the DTD.

2.2 Manuals  Go Top

... not many on-line right now (except specifications)

2.3 Specifications, standards and official propaganda  Go Top

See also: XML Standards Reference at webreference.com

Official Frameworks

XML Specifications

Specifications (and proposals) for XML Applications

Query
Don't know what the situations is, see: See XML Query Requirements and XML Query Data Model (W3C Working Draft). Older propositions are: Xlink, Xpointer, Xinclude & Xpath
All these are mission critical for developping real hypertext. So far only XPath is a standard and. Xpath, Xpointer and Inclusions are quite well implemented in server-side engines like Cocoon. Schemas
Right now, most schemas are written as DTDs. XML Schemas are written in XML and W3C working drafts are probably near completion (9/2000) Indexes for other specs

2.4 FAQ's  Go Top

2.5 On-line Mags  Go Top

see also: links below !!

2.6 NewsGroups and Mailing Lists  Go Top

2.7 General Tutorials  Go Top

(most are somewhat technical)

2.8 Other Tutorials (XML Schema, Xlink, etc.)  Go Top

2.9 Introductory Articles  Go Top

2.10 Other Articles  Go Top

3. XML for programmers  Go Top

3.1 Tutorials for programmers  Go Top

3.2 Java APIs  Go Top

3.3 Libraries for programmers (parsers, etc.)  Go Top

... and some tools written with these libraries. [TECFA People: Also look at our Java page, documentation for classes]

Java XML Parsers

XML parsers for other languages

(really not complete!)

Various stuff

Minimal XML Parsers

4. Software  Go Top

See also general XML Indexes, this will not be complete! This list are just bookmarks for things we consider using

4.1 Indexes for tools / software  Go Top

4.2 Browsers and plugins (client-side XML)  Go Top

4.3 On-line Tools  Go Top

4.4 Editors, editor libraries, and other tools  Go Top

All free or cheap GUI tools I tested are either slow, difficult to learn, useless (no DTD support/validation) or they crash sometimes. Some combine those features. The only good solution right now (3/2000) for programmers is (X)Emacs (see below) unless you have a Mac (Emile). To to some extent, XED can be recommended. For non computer literate people there is XML Writer and to some extent XMetal (probably the most popular more expensive commercial thing right now). See the XML software indexes for a lot of pointers and let me know if I am wrong :)

Text Editors with a GUI

I believe that XML Editors for content should work like text editors... So far, I haven't seen that much. Adobe would have the skills to do a nice tool based on FrameMaker (the only real Text Processor I am aware of) but do they hate XML ?

Tree/Text/Structure Editors with a GUI

(this section also include other tools ... to be placed elsewhere)

Emacs modes

DTD supported editing (and validatation with an external program) we use is based on the PSGML mode. It's a powertul context sensitive tool, look at the Manual. Als,o Bob DuCharme has a good page with PSGML tricks. Markus Hoenicka's SGML for NTpage may also be of good help (dig a bit).. Other modes/stuff:

Various Tools and Filters

4.5 XML Application / Publication Frameworks  Go Top

4.6 Server-side XML=>HTML  Go Top

Note that for simple things, "manual" translation with something like PHP works fine. Else you need XSL which is not just a rendering language (like CSS) but also tree transformation language (e.g. you can map xml to html). Anyhow, check portal and document systems too ! E.g. we use Cocoon at Tecfa.

4.7 Converters and other tools  Go Top

See also above (server-side XML)

4.8 HTML in XML / HTML=>XML transition  Go Top

4.9 XUL  Go Top

XUL is "Extensible User Interface Language" developped for the Mozilla project (but not limited to it).

5. DTD's, schemas, stylesheets, example XML etc.  Go Top

This is not complete, pointers relate to TECFA's interests, have tutorial value or are just there because I put them there :) ....

5.1 Indexes  Go Top

5.2 Text  Go Top

TEI - Text Encoding Initiative

Used mainly by scholars in literature research

DocBook

The industry standard for technical books

DITA

Dita is used/co-developed by IBM. It's general architecture may be quite interesting for educational sites, because it accomodates for topic-oriented organization and also allows specialization.

Others

5.3 XML Contents and DTDs  Go Top

Search Engines, Repositories

Indexing XML contents (or at least XML-something-based)

Various example stuff

5.4 Other DTDs  Go Top

(needs to be sorted out)

5.5 General articles about schemas  Go Top

5.6 XML in education  Go Top
