Save time and eliminate frustration with style sheets! Learn how to
transform EAD-encoded finding aids into Web documents whose appearance is
customized for participants' institution and users. This two-day workshop
provides an introduction to style sheets, in particular Extensible Style
Sheet Language (XSL), as they are used to format archival finding aids for
the Web. If you have a basic understanding of the EAD element set and the
HTML encoding scheme, you're ready to take the next big step and create or
modify style sheets. While the focus is on EAD, this workshop also will be
of interest to archivists, programmers and system administrators using TEI
and other XML applications.
Upon completing this workshop, you will have:
Gained a fundamental understanding of XSLT concepts;
Learned how to produce a basic style sheet;
Modified an existing style sheet.
Two instructors facilitate this highly interactive, hands-on workshop to
provide a substantial level of practice to participants.
