Name: XLDL - an XML doctype for novels, stories, poems, plays
Version: 0.2.0
OVERVIEW
XLDL Literature Description Language provides an XML doctype that may be useful for the storage of novels, stories, poems and related texts. In general, it may not be useful for scientific literature. The doctype is aimed to be as useful as possible and as powerful as needed. A lot of features are supported like version control, internationalization or custom treatment of selected parts of text.
With XLDL you may also mark certain entities, such as acting persons, locations, times or metaphors. With a capable software, these marks may be useful to navigate through the logical structure of the document or to group and search these entities. This allows the user to treat an XLDL document like a small database.
As usual with XML, this doctype reflects the semantic structure of a text. It cannot store typographical information. Please, use XSL for that purpose or transform a document with XSLT to fit for another document type (such as XHTML or FO).
