XHTML - myths and realities. It is difficult to find a web development language today which is as misunderstood as XHTML.
In the following article we’ll examine why, sort out a few concepts that frequently confuse authors, and offer practical suggestions on real–life XHTML usage. The intended audience for this article are those developers who consider using XHTML for the first time, but also authors and content producers who wants to learn more about the topic of extensible markup languages. Tina Holmboe Introduction When the first informal version of HTML was released in 1992, it was described as a “hypertext mark-up language” and “an SGML format”.

MathML 3.0 was released as a W3C Recommendation on 21 October 2010, with a second edition released on 10 April 2014. It is a revision of MathML 2.0, issued in February 2001, with a second edition in October 2003. A product of the W3C Math Working Group, MathML is a low-level specification for describing mathematics as a basis for machine to machine communication which provides a much needed foundation for the inclusion of mathematical expressions in Web pages. It is also important in publishing workflows for science and technology and wherever mathematics has to be handled by software. The new version brings, for instance, improvements for accessibility of mathematics, and for formulas in languages written from right to left.
Try it! A variety of implementations of MathML are available (browsers and authoring tools, educational and symbolic algebra software…), many of which are Open Source.

The future of HTML, Part 2: XHTML 2.0. Introducing Cocoon 2.0. February 13, 2002 A Short History of Apache Cocoon It took two years, but we finally released Apache Cocoon, the second generation.
Cocoon started simply enough. In 1998 Jon Stevens -- of Apache JServ, Turbine, Velocity, Anakia, and Tigris Scarab fame -- and I created scripts that managed the automatic update of the java.apache.org site. The scripts were dead simple: iterate over all the CVS modules that java.apache.org had under the /docs and copy them to the right place.
The problem was that people were continously messing up the docs. The solution was obvious: we needed a way to separate style from content. So I wrote a servlet that handled the tedious bits for me; I could modify the stylesheet, hit reload on the browser, and the servlet would handle everything. Apache Cocoon 1.0 was a servlet, about 100 lines of code, that used XML4J (later Apache Xerces) and LotusXSL (later Apache Xalan) to transform an XML file with an XSL stylesheet. The Last Craft? Marcus' blog on Agile Web Development » Lis. If you writing a user interface, make sure it responds in 1/10th of a second . That’s a pretty simple rule, and if you break it, you will distract the user.
This rule has pretty much become law, never mind lore. You find it in books such as “The Humane Interface” by Jef Raskin and many other user interface guides. If you write GUI software, you are well aware of it. I cannot find this rule anywhere in Jacob Nielson’s “Designing Web Usability". Métadonnées: une initiation - Dublin Core, IPTC, EXIF, RDF, XMP.

About microformats. Designed for humans first and machines second, microformats are a set of simple, open data formats built upon existing and widely adopted standards.
Instead of throwing away what works today, microformats intend to solve simpler problems first by adapting to current behaviors and usage patterns (e.g. XUL. XUL (/ˈzuːl/ ZOOL), which stands for XML User Interface Language, is a user interface markup language that is developed by Mozilla. XUL is implemented as an XML dialect; it allows for graphical user interfaces to be written in a similar manner to Web pages.
Design[edit] XUL relies on multiple existing Web standards and Web technologies, including CSS, JavaScript, and DOM. Such reliance makes XUL relatively easy to learn for people with a background in Web programming and design. Mozilla provides experimental XULRunner builds to let developers build their applications on top of the Mozilla application framework and of XUL in particular. XUL documents[edit] Programmers typically define a XUL interface as three discrete sets of components: content: the XUL document(s), whose elements define the layout of the user interfaceskin: the CSS and image files, which define the appearance of an applicationlocale: the files containing user-visible strings for easy software localization XUL elements[edit]
