September, 1999

Earl Mann,  Wavo Corporation  -   News Markup Language (NML)

                The News Markup Language is designed to
                capture the knowledge of the newsroom and
                store that knowledge digitally. It would, for
                example, designate what is the lede; what is
                the nut graph; and what is a parenthetical
                aside. There's also a demand for a tag that
                marks "58 paragraph narrative ledes that back
                into the story." Once that information is
                captured, it can be used to quickly and easily
                produce a wide variety of products.


B. Tommie Usdin, Mulberry Technologies  -  How XSL Works

                Are you interested in the new Extensible
                Stylesheet Language (XSL) but don't know
                how it works? Do you want to use XSL but
                don't know where to start? This presentation
                introduces XSL to people who have not used it
                before.  Through simple examples, it demonstrates
                the basic concepts of XSL, the structure of
                stylesheets, and how to produce both HTML
                and formatted output.
