As an output format in many publishing and database apps, it is like
PDF. No TW can realistically operate without at least a basic knowledge
of PDF technology and I can see why XML could be similar.

Subject: atw: XML - a requirement for a TechWriter looking for work?
Hi all,
If you have some time, I would like some feedback on this presentation
supplied to the QLD Tech Writers group.
I just thought it rather interesting that "Learn XML" is becoming part
of a requirement for a Tech Writer who is looking for work.
Please can you let me know your thoughts on this and why you think XML
is essential to being a Tech Writer.
I am looking to write a post for my blog and I am want to poll several
technical writers to see what their thoughts are as part of my research.
I want write about 'how' XML fits in the techwriter role, provide some
practical examples where possible, what books are the best books to
learn XML, what courses are available.
I aim to poll employers too so I can get their slant on things..
Hope to hear from you soon.
Cheers
Nikki
Thanks,
Nikki Ward | Technical Writer
