Documentation: The complete eLML user manual
The documentation of the eLesson Markup Language eLML provides the explanations needed to work with the XML framework eLML and the associated files and structures. The authors of the following pages are Susanne Bleisch and Joël Fisler. The documentation is constantly updated (see the footer for the last modified date) and reflects the status of the developer release. The stable release always contains a manual for the corresponding version within the ZIP file. If you find a bug or think that something is unclear or wrong, please use the Sourceforge Bugtracker to submit it. The documentation guides you through the following steps:
- Download eLML
- Create a new eLML lesson
- Validate an eLML lesson
- Transform an eLML lesson
- Create IMS or SCORM packages
Furthermore this documentation provides information about:
- Schema: Describe the eLML structure and all the eLML XML elements
- Folder structure: How the eLML core and project folder is built-up
- Default representation and layout: See how the eLML paragraph elements are displayed in HTML
- Cascading Style Sheets (CSS): Presents the eLML default CSS classes and how to modify them or create your own classes.
- Publications: Reference to papers used by eLML
