Unit 9: XML

Reading Notes

From my understanding, XML is a more sophisticated markup language than XML. Its tags allow document formatting to be easily transferred between different systems and software. As Bergholz wrote in "Extending Your Markup: An XML Tutorial", "meaningful annotation is, in essence what XML is all about".The tags are more descriptive to the elements of the document and have a start and end just as HTML tags do. XML seems more logical and explicit. Another difference between HTML & XML is that HTML is used mostly for web layout. I found Bergholz's tutorial article to be the most helpful article in understanding XML. The W3 school's XML tutorial is also a great resource.
