RE: Programming / scripting languages in tech-writing
Subject:RE: Programming / scripting languages in tech-writing From:Stephen McDermott <Stephen -dot- McDermott -at- PREMERA -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Mon, 6 May 2002 09:28:23 -0700
Bruce Byfield asks:
"Does anybody else on the list use a programming or scripting language in
their work? If so, which one? And what sort of tasks do you use them for?"
Framescript - automation of tasks in Framemaker.
Javascript - add navigation, bells and whistles in HTMLHelp files.
DHTML - Again, for help files.
Everything else I leave to the developers or the "Wizards", but I am paying
attention to the threads on XML to see if it is going to be the next "Big"
thing. Looked at SGML for a bit, but did not switch over, as it wasn't
adding any value.
