RE: Incorporating XML into documentation

[Jason Willebeek-LeMair <jlemair -at- cisco -dot- com>]

We are using XML for our documentation.

Our source is created and edited in XML.  The documentation source sits in
the same flat-file, source-controlled environment as our code base--no
expensive database on the back end yet.

We then use XSLT to go to three formats--HTML (for HTML Help), RTF (for
What's This help), and FrameMaker for hardcopy (to be phased out in favor of
XSL-FO).

This has enabled us to be incredibly flexible when it comes to reorganizing
our deliverables or creating new deliverables on the fly.

Excruciating details available upon request.

Jason
