XML

Definition: Extensible Markup Language

XML is a simple, very flexible text format derived from
SGML

W3C sets the XML standards

Current version: 1.0
<node>
<node>
</node>
<node />
XML Cont....
Tag: A markup construct that begins with "<" and
ends with ">"

  Three different kinds of Tags

    start-tags <tag>

    end-tags </tag>

    empty-tags <tag />

Declaration: Optional information about the XML
document
       <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
XML Cont...
Attribute

  A name/value pair that exists within a start-tag
  or empty-element tag.

  <img src=”firefox.png” alt=”Firefox Icon” />

  The <img /> tag is an empty element tag with
  two attributes: src and alt.
XML Example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ship color=”blue”>
   <captain>Mr.McGee</captain>
   <crew>
      <member>Joe</member>
      <member>Jane</member>
   </crew>
   <anchored value=”true” />
</ship>
LAB 1


Lets build a simple XML document together
<HTML>




The
markup
language
used
to
describe
web
pages.
HTML
stands
for:

Hypertext
Markup
Language
What’s a Markup
       Language?

It
is
a
set
of
symbols
and

rules
in
a
document
that

describe
its
structure
and

format.

Who decides these
          rules?
        W3C (WORLD WIDE WEB CONSORTIUM)

W3C is an international standards body for both
HTML and CSS

Formed in October 1994

Founded by Tim Berners-Lee

Has 356 members as of September 09’
HTML Tags

are special keywords surrounded by angle bracket
like <div>

Most HTML tags come in pairs like <div></div>

  Consisting of an opening and closing tag
Basic Tags
<a href=”http://www.google.com”>This is a link tag to Google.com</a>

<p>This is a paragraph tag</p>

<div>This tag represents a division in the page (called a “div”)</div>

<img src=”C:Desktopimage.png” alt=”My Image” />

<h1>This is heading 1..the largest heading</h1>

<h2>This is heading 2..the second largest heading</h2>

   Heading tags are defined h1-h6

   Heading tags work just like headings in your favorite word processor
Basic Tags Continued

<br /> is a line break and can be used inside text-
nodes.

<ul> is an unordered list. It has children known as
<li> list items. Next to each list item will be a
bullet.
       <ul>
         <li>Cat</li>
         <li>Dog</li>
         <li>Mouse</li>
       </ul>
.HTM, .HTML or .XHTML?
Document extensions

 .HTM is the same as .HTML

   .HTM is a remnant from the old days when file
   extensions were only three letters

 .XHTML is the same as a .HTML document
 except an .XHTML document is a well-formed
 XML document
Structure of an HTML
      Document
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head>
     <title></title>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>
Doctype (DTD)
                   Document type declaration


 Transitional
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
          "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">


 XHTML == Markup MUST be well formed XML

 Transitional == Contains all HTML elements and
 attributes, INCLUDING presentational and
 deprecated elements (like the <font> tag)
<html>

The <html> tag tells the browser that this is an
HTML document.

The html element is the outermost element in
HTML and XHTML documents. The html element
is also known as the root element.
<head>
hidden from the user

can contain:

  meta information

  stylesheet references

  scripts

  title
<body>
The content of the document

  text

  hyperlinks

  images

  tables

  lists

  etc...
Deprecated what?

Basically, try to avoid using things marked as
DEPRECATED

  While they are supported in the current version
  there is no guarantee future versions will
  continue support
Good Practice
HTML elements should be lowercase

  Why? The W3C recommends it and may require
  it in the future.

All elements should be closed.

  Close an element by either adding a forward
  slash to the start element <br /> or add a
  forward slash to the ending element like <div></
  div>
