That’s because the rules for style and document structure are set by the designer in the DTD (Document Type Definition), thus allowing the authors to concentrate on writing, but the final result will adhere to the formatting rules defined in the DTD. XML is used extensively inside organizations that have multiple authors working on the same document. Basically, XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a system for organizing and tagging document elements (headings, tables, and so on).
XML is the newest darling technology of the desktop publishing set. If you have the space though, you’ll find a soup-to-nuts desktop publishing program that now supports XML import. Weighing in at 250 MB for a full install, this is not an application for dainty storage systems. Like its earlier incarnations, Ventura Publisher 10 is immense in both size and scope. Currently in the hands of Corel, the goal of Version 10 is to reverse that trend by aiming Ventura at both the creative electronic publisher and the enterprise audience who wants to repurpose XML documents. Over the years, Ventura became smarter and more sophisticated, but it lost ground against the competition - PageMaker, QuarkXPress, FrameMaker, and now InDesign. It was the original desktop publishing program for the IBM PC, and early users of Ventura Publisher were fierce adherents, despite the program’s certain quirkiness.
