A Technical Introduction to XML
by Norman Walsh
This introduction to XML presents
the Extensible Markup Language at a reasonably technical
level for anyone interested in learning more about
structured documents.
In addition to covering the XML 1.0 Specification,
this article outlines related XML specifications, which are evolving.
The article is organized in four main sections plus an
appendix.

Author's Note

It is somewhat remarkable to think that this article,
which appeared initially in the Winter 1997 edition of the World Wide Web Journal was out of date by the time the
final XML Recommendation was approved in February. And even as this update brings the article
back into line with the final spec, a new series of
recommendations are under development. When finished, these will
bring namespaces, linking, schemas, stylesheets, and more to the
table.
