The part that got my interest was Later, I was introduced to DocBook, an XML schema that allows the identification of pieces of content as small as individual letters. Here, for me, was an actual revolution in the way I worked. DocBook represented a new way of thinking about my content and suited my thought patterns much better than did the blank page of a word processing file, implying as it did a linear flow and a single voice. The fact that this tool suited my brain better than did word processing tools allowed me to think about information and communication differently: instead of battling (albeit subconsciously) with the restrictions of my tools, I was free to approach content in a way that really suited me, and was shown a completely new perspective on my work at the same time. Where content management tools made my life easier and improved my product, DocBook effectively allowed me to evolve my practice. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
