Norm Tovey-WalshEasy come, easy go. That was a short-lived experiment, alas. #DocBook #MarkupMonday
barefootliamI’ve been trying to post (not always in the same place) about the usefulness of text #markup for documents - #XML especially - using the tag #MarkupMonday each time.
The goal is to spread awareness that XML, and declarative markup, labelling of parts, is in active use, and yes is worth doing, in the right place.
There was some push-back on the xml-dev (reborn) mailing list against XML being useful in a world with LLMs in it, which was discouraging.
But i stick by it: XML is not dead! 😉
I don't feel up to writing a #MarkupMonday post today, and I expect the "here's some new releases" posts are a bit dull anyway. But yesterday saw a new #NineML release and a new #xmlcalabash release.
I’ll be speaking (with two others) at XML Prague about an unusual XML diff program, and maybe also participating in sessions around XQuery and around XML formatting.
Come and join us at #XML_Prague #XMLPrague XML Prague!
