It's been a busy couple of months and my blogging has suffered accordingly.However, I do have a new article available in STC's magazine, Intercom. I will be writing a regular column entitled "The XML Strategist."
The first installment is "When is XML the Wrong Answer?" If are you are an STC member, you should be able to read the article online as a PDF here. Here is a short excerpt:
XML offers some interesting features, but are they of value to your workflow? If you are happy with your current authoring and publishing system, and nothing is compelling you to move to XML, why make the effort? The XML tools are not as mature as “traditional” desktop publishing tools. Over time, the cost of implementing
an XML-based workflow will drop, and your business case will look more attractive.
I welcome comments and ideas for future columns.
