XML Résumé files are XML files composed mostly of elements. This part of the user guide documents the semantics (meaning) and syntax (structure) of all of the elements that you can use to construct a résumé.
To get started with creating a résumé, take a look Chapter 2, Exploring the Features of XML Résumé Library, which is a tutorial on creating an XML
résumé. Alternatively, you could examine the content model for the resume
element, and drill down from there.
This sections documents changes to the XML Résumé Library DTD.
Deprecated elements will still be formatted, and are still valid elements in an XML résumé. However, their use is discouraged, and they will be removed in a future version of the DTD.
