Cafe Townsend, a fictional restaurant, currently posts a list of daily specials
on their website. They use an HTML table with a series of table rows to
display the information. The left column of each row displays the name of
the item and the item’s description. The right column of each row displays
the item’s price. All of the information on the page is hand-coded (i.e., it is
not coming from a dynamic data source), and the text is formatted with an
external style sheet.
The owners of Cafe Townsend have decided to “go dynamic,” and use data
from an XML file to display their daily specials. Using XML allows for a
separation between the content of the page (the menu specials) and the
presentation (the layout, text styling, and so forth). An employee who
doesn’t know anything about HTML or web page maintenance can easily
update the information by editing the XML file, while the page displaying
the menu information remains stylistically untouched.
