Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) Version 1.0 Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) Version 1.0 W3C Candidate Recommendation 21 November 2000 This version: http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/CR-xsl-20001121/ (PDF by RenderX, XML file, HTML (one large file), ZIP file) Latest version: http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/ Previous version: http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-xsl-20001018 Authors and Contributors: Sharon Adler (IBM) <[email protected]> Anders Berglund (IBM) <[email protected]> Jeff Caruso (Pageflex) <[email protected]> Stephen Deach (Adobe) <[email protected]> Paul Grosso (ArborText) <[email protected]> Eduardo Gutentag (Sun) <[email protected]> Alex Milowski (Lexica) <[email protected]> Scott Parnell (Xerox) <[email protected]> Jeremy Richman (BroadVision) <[email protected]> Steve Zilles (Adobe) <[email protected]> Copyright © 2000 W3C (MIT, INRIA, Keio), All Rights Reserved. W3C liability, trademark, document use and software licensing rules apply. ii Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) (xsl-20001121) Abstract XSL is a language for expressing stylesheets. It consists of two parts: 1. a language for transforming XML documents, and 2. an XML vocabulary for specifying formatting semantics. An XSL stylesheet specifies the presentation of a class of XML documents by describing how an instance of the class is transformed into an XML document that uses the formatting vocabulary. Status of this document This document is a W3C Candidate Recommendation. The XSL WG considers this specification to be stable and encourges implementation and comment during the CR review period. The Candidate Recommendation review period ends on February 28, 2001. Please send detailed comments and reports of implementation experience to [email protected] before the end of the CR review period. Archives of the comments are available. More general public discussion of XSL takes place on the XSL-List mailing list. Should this specification prove impossible to implement, the Working Group will return the document to Working Draft status and make necessary changes. Otherwise, the Working Group anticipates asking the W3C Director to advance this document to Proposed Recommendation. This document has been produced as part of the W3C Style Activity by the XSL Working Group (members only). A list of current W3C working drafts can be found at http://www.w3.org/TR. They may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use W3C Candidate Recommendations as reference material or to cite them as other than "work in progress".

  • HTML Elements
    Web Basics HTML HTML or HyperText Markup Language is the standard markup language used to create web pages. HTML is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of tags enclosed in angle brackets (like <html>). HTML tags most commonly come in pairs like <h1> and </h1>, although some tags represent empty elements and so are unpaired, for example <img>. The first tag in a pair is the start tag, and the second tag is the end tag (they are also called opening tags and closing tags). A web browser can read HTML files and compose them into visible or audible web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses them to interpret the content of the page. HTML describes the structure of a website semantically along with cues for presentation, making it a markup language rather than a programming language. HTML elements form the building blocks of all websites. HTML allows images and objects to be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms. It provides a means to create structured docu- ments by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items. It can embed scripts written in languages such as JavaScript which affect the behavior of HTML web pages. Web browsers can also refer to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to define the look and layout of text and other material. The W3C, maintainer of both the HTML and the CSS standards, encourages the use of CSS over explicit presenta- tional HTML* Markup Language A (document) markup language is a modern system for annotating a document in a way that is syntactically dis- tinguishable from the text.

  • Open and Accessible Presentations
    Open and Accessible Presentations Erik Wilde School of Information UC Berkeley, USA Email: [email protected] Abstract—E-learning often is perceived as something that, on as well. Ideally, e-learning applications should be designed to the technical level, can be addressed by designing an e-learning “blend into the Web” so that they can benefit from the Web, system, which often is equipped with a Web-based interface. and that the Web can benefit from them. We argue that this traditional approach of e-learning system design should be reversed in today’s Web-oriented environment, In this article, we first investigate the fundamental chal- in the sense that e-learning applications should be designed as lenges e-learning faces today. These challenges mostly arise well-behaving Web citizens and expose their services through from the dynamics and the loosely coupled nature of today’s nothing else but the Web’s loose coupling principles. This article Web [2]. We then progress to investigating these challenges presents a system for Web-based presentations which follows this in more detail, looking at services and content as the two approach in publishing presentation material in a way that is as Web-friendly as possible.
