In this new age
of technical writing, documents must be developed for rapid updating and
multiple outputs (such as Microsoft Word, PDF, HTML5, XHTML,
FrameMaker, MadCap Flare). One of the primary methods of achieving this
is XML (another is DITA, a descendant of XML and covered in a separate
course). Outputs must include print but also electronic access on PCs,
cell phones, and other handheld devices.
