ETD-XML Group

We are the XML-ETD group. Our project was to allow people to create ETD in XML and be rendered in HTML. In this location are the Schema used to define the ETD, the XSLT to translate the XML, two example ETDs in XML, instructions on how to create an XML ETD in MS Word, and an example MS Word doc with the macros to create the XML.

Example ETDs

There are the ETDs we have converted over to XML. These are stored as XML and rendered into HTML on the fly by the web browser (must use IE 6.0 or higher!). Alternatively, you can run these through Sablotron to generate permament HTML files.
