Makeda: My very ambitious goal is done. The XLST files were created. Things did not work the way I had planned. I wanted a table and wanted to show photos along with the description. Instead I settled just for using the XLST.

So this is the idea behind this project. For this introductory class we learned how to:

1. Write and display XML documents using DTD 2. Write and display XML documents using XSD we reviewed 3. Write and display XML documents using XLST

This final project uses a very simple concept introduced on p.136 of the text. The two team members (Makeda and Bela) are contained within each xml document used.

Step 1: takes the information on these two team members uses a DTD and brings in the descriptions of each team member from a text file.

Step 2: uses an XSD and the descriptions to the text files is a hyperlink.

Step 3: uses an XLST and lists the descriptions for each team member.

Lessons learned: One I need to review how to do tables in HTML so I might actually include photos and display the information in a table going forward. I like how you write the information only once when using the XLST and no matter how many team members there are they all are listed.

The swapping in of text does not work with XSD. So I opted to add a hyperlink to the text descriptions. Please note Makeda's surname is Heard not White!
