Training Courses on Adobe InDesign Must Cover Styles

We believe that all InDesign training courses should incorporate the correct use of styles to enhance workflow and maintain consistency within a document and across a range of documents. Most delegates on our InDesign training courses know what styles are: a series of named formats which can be applied to your text so you don’t have to manually apply formatting attributes one by one. Even new InDesign users are probably familiar with the use of styles in Microsoft Word: “Heading 1″, “Heading2″, “Normal”, etc. However, InDesign’s implementation of styles is much more sophisticated and, when we run InDesign training courses in London, we always emphasise their importance.

The Basics of XML Schema

XML schema definition languages are derived from the recommendations of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). They use XML 1.0 syntax and their role is to explicit describe the structure of XML documents and constrain the data which they may contain. They offer a distinct improvement on the more limited schema features offered by the Document Type Definition (DTD) recommendation which formed part of the original XML specification released in 1998. The most widely used schema language is the one defined by the W3C in 2001: W3C XML Schema. However, there are alternatives, such as RELAX NG and Schematron.
