XML

XML, XHTML

XML is designed to publish documents programmatically, where a developer or a designer writes stylesheets that control the layout and navigation. Although the digital publishing market and technologies evolve quickly, XML still remains immensely useful as the standard format that multiple conversion workflows tend to rely on.

Ace is able to leverage the power of XML to achieve efficient conversion and achieve streamlined simultaneous output in multiple formats for the same content. Our XML-based conversion services include:

  • XML conversion from any input source (MS Word, LaTeX, application files, hardcopy)
  • Any input (Word files, application files, PDFs, hardcopy, XML/SGML etc.) to any desired output (XML, .mobi, .prc, .azw, etc)
  • Data capture through OCR and keyboarding with 99.995% accuracy

XHTML or Extensible Hyper Text Markup Language is a family of Extensible Markup Languages (XML) that mirror or extend versions of the widely used Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), the language in which web pages are written.

DTD allows the creation of numerous documents while ensuring that the information contained in them will be comparable. A Document Type Declaration (DOCTYPE) is an instruction that associates a particular SGML or XML document with a specific DTD.

DTD documents are high-level documents, designed to be parsed by user agents.

Ace offers a variety of standard DTD development services. We have extensive experience in working with and modifying popular public DTD’s such as those defined by:

  • The National Library of Medicine
  • Text Encoding Initiative (TEI)
