XML Tutorial

[Graham Samuel]

Fantastic! Seems to do the job admirably, and the small tweaks I needed in my particular case actually worked. What an excellent collection!

Thanks also to all others who replied - I have a kind of scepticism about XML that perhaps I shall never overcome, but I do feel now that I can tackle my current task.

I find the explanation in the LC User Guide pretty tough, partly because they leave out elementary stuff about how legal XML is formed, partly because it’s got errors in it, and partly because the example they use isn’t rich enough. Oh and partly because I am slow and grumpy about this particular subject.
