You also find out how to extend HTML by creating your own tags and attributes to automate data delivery.
In addition, the book includes coverage of the Chemical Markup Language; the Channel Definition format (CDF), a common desktop environment (CDE); and multimedia notation (SMSL) and XML markup that facilitates text-to-speech translation (SpeechML). The CD-ROM contains browsers that support XML, sample XML websites, links to online information, and other software.
