Day 308: XML, DTD, XSLT, and OMG

Today I finished up my weekly assignment for my web design class. This week, I got to learn the incredibly complicated XML, which is cool and powerful but awfully tricksy. First, you have to create a DTD file, which sets up rules for terminology and hierarchy. Then you make a XSLT stylesheet for layout and design and formatting. Finally, you make an XML page that calls in both of those other files. All this to get a simple little chart like this:

So it probably doesn't seem like much of an accomplishment to you, unless you too started learning XML four days ago.
