deborah: the Library of Congress cataloging numbers for children's literature, technology, and library science (Default)
[personal profile] deborah
For an XML class I'm teaching to library and technology staff tomorrow, I've written a tiny XML trading card template. I'm not going over the XSLT and CSS in class -- this is an XML-only class -- but in theory they could be used as teaching tools as well. (They're both non-standard, though; the CSS because of its absolute positioning throughout and the XSLT for its simplicity.)

Anyway, I'm creative commons licensing the files and posting them for anyone else who'd like to use them. Oh, and here's my sample card.

The files.

Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.
