XML is a markup language with rigidly set rules (all tags should be closed, etc.). Within the limits of these rules you have total freedom (specific names of tags, etc.). XML is simple in development and processing. <br />
<br />
== Why do I need XML? ==<br />
<br />
XML files can easily be used by many programs. The file can be displayed, transformed, catalogued very simply, etc. <br />
Working with FictionBook, you most likely will avoid encounter with the XML code but understanding of the essense of your actions might be useful. <br />
<br />
== What is XML? ==<br />
<br />
It is a universal '''markup''' language. There are others but currently it may be considered as the most promising. <br />
<br />
== What distinguishes XML from other markup languages? ==<br />
<br />
Its ease in creation and processing of files. XML was formulated as a format equally easily handled by program, browser and man. <br />
<br />
This ease is provided with several features of XML: <br />
<br />
# Intuitive ease and clarity; <br />
# Strictness.<br />
<br />

<br />
You open an unknown file thet has arrived fron somewhere and understand what is what. For example, here is a file with the description of a PERL module: <br />

(The file was taken from ActiveState) <br />
<br />
I opened this file and corrected one string (<CODEBASE>). To do this I did not have to read manuals or download analyzer programs. Any XML document should meet this principle. <br />
<br />
=== Strictness ===<br />
<br />
# XML documents are marked by tags like in HTML - by markers between brackets <> (<body>, <table>). But unlike HTML, the XML document can use any tag (such as <my_cool-TAG>). <br />
# Markups in XML documents is used to demarcate the structure, and merely for this purpose. The document description is completely taken out of the document and handled separately. For any XML document it is possible to create infinite set of descriptions ([http://xml.nsu.ru/xml/xml_display.xml CSS] and [http://xml.nsu.ru/xml/xml_xsl.xml XST] styles are used for this purpose).<br />
# The structure of XML documents is rigidly determined and cannot be broken. For example, such combination of tags as <nowiki><I> <B> </I> </B></nowiki> is acceptable (although incorrect) in HTML and will be adequately displayed in a browser for example. However in XML such combination of tags will cause an error message, and the document will not be handled. Any nested tag should be closed before its parent. <br />
# Tags in XML are case-sensitive. That is <nowiki><i></nowiki> and <nowiki><I></nowiki> is not the same in XML. <br />
# XML documents beside a correct nesting of tags (well-formed, correct XML) has one more degree of structuredness. It is possible to declare, for example, that the tag <nowiki><I></nowiki> will appear only within <PARAGRAPH>, and <PARAGRAPH> can only include text and the tag <nowiki><I></nowiki>. Any document in which this rule will be broken, is considered invalid, and at its processing assumes no guarantees - at the best an error will be issued. It is possible to declare tags which should undoubtedly be in a specific place of the document. It is possible to define a set of tags of which only one can be used inside of a tag, or specify what tag should follow what.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Well and what is all this for? ==<br />
<br />
Due to such strictness, ease of XML support by various programs and reliability of data is achieved. Digital processing of XML documents is a quite trivial task, whether it be mapping, coercion to another standard (for example, conversion to HTML) or search and analysis of information. <br />
<br />
Such are the elements necessary for work with FictionBook. For more detailed information refer to specific web sites or literature. <br />

I opened this file and corrected one string (<CODEBASE>). To do this I did not have to read manuals or download analyzer programs. Any XML document should meet this principle. <br />
<br />
=== Intuitive clarity ===<br />
<br />
# XML documents like in HTML are marked by tags - the markers between brackets <> (<body>, <table>). But unlike HTML, the XML document can use any tag (such as <my_cool-TAG>). <br />
<br />
# Markups in XML documents is used to demarcate the structure, and merely for this purpose. The document description is completely taken out of the document and handled separately. For any XML document it is possible to create infinite set of descriptions (CSS and XST styles are used for this purpose).<br />
<br />
# The structure of XML documents is rigidly determined and cannot be broken. For example, such combination of tags as <I> <B> </I> </B> is acceptable (although incorrect) in HTML and will be adequately displayed in a browser for example. However in XML such combination of tags will cause an error message, and the document will not be handled. Any nested tag should be closed before its parent. <br />
<br />
# Tags in XML are case-sensitive. That is <i> and <I> is not the same in XML. <br />
<br />
# Документы XML помимо корректной вложенности тегов (well-formed, правильный XML) имеет еще одну степень структурированности. Можно задать, например, что тег <I> будет встречаться только внутри тега <PARAGRAPH>, а внутри тега <PARAGRAPH> может находиться только текст и тег <I>. Любой документ, в котором это правило будет нарушено, считается невалидным и при его обработке никаких гарантий не дается - в лучшем случае будет выдана ошибка. Можно задать теги, которые должны обязательно присутствовать в конкретном месте документа. Можно задать набор тегов, только один из которых может быть использован внутри тега, или указать, какой тег за каким должен следовать. <br />
<br />
# XML documents beside a correct nesting of tags (well-formed, correct XML) has one more degree of structuredness. It is possible to declare, for example, that the tag <I> will appear only within <PARAGRAPH>, and <PARAGRAPH> can only include text and the tag <I>. Any document in which this rule will be broken, is considered invalid, and at its processing assumes no guarantees - at the best an error will be issued. It is possible to declare tags which should undoubtedly be in a specific place of the document. It is possible to define a set of tags of which only one can be used inside of a tag, or specify what tag should follow what. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Well and what is all this for? ==<br />
<br />
Due to such strictness, ease of XML support by various programs and reliability of data is achieved. Digital processing of XML documents is a quite trivial task, whether it be mapping, coercion to another standard (for example, conversion to HTML) or search and analysis of information. <br />
<br />
Such are the elements necessary for work with FictionBook. For more detailed information refer to specific web sites or literature. <br />

XML-язык разметки, с жестко заданными правилами (все теги должны быть закрыты и т.п.). В пределах этих правил вы получаете полную свободу (собственные имена тегов и т.п.) XML прост в создании и обработке.<br />
<br />
== Зачем мне XML? ==<br />
<br />
XML-файлы позднее могут быть с легкостью использованы многими программами. Файл можно очень просто отображать, преобразовывать, каталогизировать и т.п.<br />
<br />
При работе с FictionBook вам, вероятнее всего, удастся избежать столкновения с XML-кодом, но понимание смысла своих действий будет полезным.<br />
<br />
== Что есть XML? ==<br />
<br />
Это универсальный язык структурной '''разметки'''. Он не является единственным, но на данный момент может считаться наиболее перспективным.<br />
<br />
== Что отличает XML от других языков разметки? ==<br />
<br />
Его простота в создании и обработке. XML задуман как формат, одинаково легко обрабатываемый программой, браузером и человеком.<br />
<br />
Эта простота обеспечивается несколькими особенностями языка XML:<br />
# Интуитивной простотой и понятностью;<br />
# Строгостью.<br />
<br />
=== Интуитивная понятность ===<br />
Вы открываете пришедший неизвестно откуда файл и понимаете, что к чему. Например, вот файл с описанием модуля PERL:<br />
<br />
<SOFTPKG NAME="DBD-mysql" VERSION="1,2212,0,0"><br />

</IMPLEMENTATION><br />
</SOFTPKG><br />
<br />
(файл взят с сайта activestate)<br />
<br />
Я открыл этот файл и исправил одну строку (<CODEBASE>). Мне не потребовалось для этого читать мануалы или скачивать программы-анализаторы. Любой документ XML должен соответствовать этому принципу.<br />
<br />
=== Строгость ===<br />
<br />
# XML документы, как и документы html, размечаются '''тегами''' - маркерами, окруженными знаками <> (<body>, &lt;table&gt;). Но в отличие от html, в документе xml можно использовать любые теги (типа <мой_кульный-тег>).<br />
# Разметка в документе XML используется для выделения '''структуры''' и только для этого. '''Представление''' документа полностью выносится из документа и обрабатывается отдельно. Для любого документа XML можно создать бесконечное множество представлений (для этого используются [http://xml.nsu.ru/xml/xml_display.xml CSS] и [http://xml.nsu.ru/xml/xml_xsl.xml XST-стили]).<br />
# Структура документа XML жестко задана и не может быть нарушена. Например, такое сочетание тегов, как <nowiki><I> <B></I> </B></nowiki> является допустимым (хотя и ошибочным) в html и будет адекватно отображено в браузере (например). В XML же такое сочетание тегов вызовет сообщение об ошибке, и документ обработан '''не будет'''. Любой вложенный тег должен быть закрыт прежде, чем родительский.<br />
# Теги в XML чувствительны к регистру. То есть <nowiki><i> и <I></nowiki> в XML - не одно и то же.<br />
# Документы XML помимо корректной вложенности тегов (well-formed, правильный XML) имеет еще одну степень структурированности. Можно задать, например, что тег <nowiki><I></nowiki> будет встречаться только внутри тега <PARAGRAPH>, а внутри тега <PARAGRAPH> может находиться только текст и тег <nowiki><I></nowiki>. Любой документ, в котором это правило будет нарушено, считается невалидным и при его обработке никаких гарантий не дается - в лучшем случае будет выдана ошибка. Можно задать теги, которые должны '''обязательно присутствовать''' в конкретном месте документа. Можно задать набор тегов, только один из которых может быть использован внутри тега, или указать, какой тег за каким должен следовать.<br />
<br />
== Ну и зачем все это? ==<br />
<br />
Благодаря такой строгости достигается легкость поддержки XML в различных программах и надежность получаемых данных. Программная обработка документов XML является довольно тривиальной задачей, будь то отображение, приведение к другому стандарту (например, преобразование в html) или поиск и анализ информации.<br />
<br />
Здесь изложены азы, необходимые для работы с FictionBook, за более подробной информацией можно обратиться к специализированным сайтам или литературе.<br />

{{Toc-Right}}<br />
<br />
FictionBook is a set of strict rules for creation of electronic versions of fiction books for reading on various devices and easily manageable in libraries. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Who supports the standard? ==<br />
Some six developers of book related software are engaged in the development of this standard and about ten competent fans of book design.<br />
Currently, the standard is actively developed by me (GribUser, [http://www.fictionbook.ru/ fictionbook.lib], [[Конвертеры (импорт/экспорт)|Any2FB]]) and Haali ([[Чтение|Haali Reader]], [[Редакторы|FBTools]]). There is also a community of concerned developers, users, owners of libraries and enthusiasts. <br />
We?ve got no Microsoft behind us. The fingers on two hands will suffice to count active participants (as of 12.01.2004:). The standard is the leader among Russians reading under WinCE.<br />
<br />
== What is the standard?s essense? ==<br />
The standard is done in the form of the [[XML схема FictionBook2.1|XML Schema]]. If you do not know what is [http://www.w3.org/XML/ XML] or [http://www.w3.org/XML/Schema XML Schema], we recommend to look up [[The XML Basics]], meanwhile to make it short ? the standard represents a set of strict rules describing the structure of documents - what <tag> should be where and what it should/should not contain (text/name of author/quotation/etc.). The standard also includes recommendations on its optimal usage. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Why such complexities? ==<br />
There is already a huge amount of electronic texts on the Web, but they all are stored in diverse, often incompatible standards. It is difficult to find the text equally ready to reading on a desktop, pocket PC and e-book. The standard is to provide compatibility for any devices and formats. <br />
<br />
The XML allows to easily create documents ready for direct use and processing (converting, storage, management) in any environment.<br />
<br />
== Is all this too complicated? ==<br />
One of the objectives in development of the standard is its maximum ease both for book makers and developers of applications. Unlike such standards as the XHTML or OEB, the FictionBook has a necessary and sufficient minimum of tags for creation of electronic books. To make quality books it is enough to familiarize with [[The XML Basics]] and to find a suitable program from the [[Programs]] list.<br />
And if you read the [[FictionBook 2.0 Schema - comments to the scheme]], you will get complete information on the format.<br />
<br />
== What all this will be within a few years? ==<br />
FictionBook will survive in any case. Even if this standard is replaced or totally rejected, the books made under its guidelines can be converted into any format (XHTML, OEB, DOCBOOK...) in just one click. FictionBook will be always more convenient in use and compatible than any of contemporary formats (TXT, DOC, HTML, LIT...). <br />
<br />
== All this is too good... ==<br />
<br />
This medal has a backside though. The making of a book to this standard will demand more effort than preparing a plain text file. But a book once created will be accessible and useful to a much greater number of users. Such a model of network libraries as a supplement to the existing ones, seems quite relevant.<br />

[[FictionBook 2.0 - краткая информация|Russian]]<br />
{{Toc-Right}}<br />
<br />
FictionBook is a set of strict rules for creation of electronic versions of fiction books for reading on various devices and easily manageable in libraries. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Who supports the standard? ==<br />
Some six developers of book related software are engaged in the development of this standard and about ten competent fans of book design.<br />
Currently, the standard is actively developed by me (GribUser, [http://www.fictionbook.ru/ fictionbook.lib], [[Конвертеры (импорт/экспорт)|Any2FB]]) and Haali ([[Чтение|Haali Reader]], [[Редакторы|FBTools]]). There is also a community of concerned developers, users, owners of libraries and enthusiasts. <br />
We?ve got no Microsoft behind us. The fingers on two hands will suffice to count active participants (as of 12.01.2004:). The standard is the leader among Russians reading under WinCE.<br />
<br />
== What is the standard?s essense? ==<br />
The standard is done in the form of the [[XML схема FictionBook2.1|XML Schema]]. If you do not know what is [http://www.w3.org/XML/ XML] or [http://www.w3.org/XML/Schema XML Schema], we recommend to look up [[The XML Basics]], meanwhile to make it short ? the standard represents a set of strict rules describing the structure of documents - what <tag> should be where and what it should/should not contain (text/name of author/quotation/etc.). The standard also includes recommendations on its optimal usage. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Why such complexities? ==<br />
There is already a huge amount of electronic texts on the Web, but they all are stored in diverse, often incompatible standards. It is difficult to find the text equally ready to reading on a desktop, pocket PC and e-book. The standard is to provide compatibility for any devices and formats. <br />
<br />
The XML allows to easily create documents ready for direct use and processing (converting, storage, management) in any environment.<br />
<br />
== Is all this too complicated? ==<br />
One of the objectives in development of the standard is its maximum ease both for book makers and developers of applications. Unlike such standards as the XHTML or OEB, the FictionBook has a necessary and sufficient minimum of tags for creation of electronic books. For making of quality books it is enough to familiarize with [[The XML Basics]] and to find a suitable program from the [[Programs]] list.<br />
And if you read the [[FictionBook 2.0 Schema - comments to the scheme]], you will get complete information on the format. <br />
<br />
== What all this will be within a few years? ==<br />
FictionBook will survive in any case. Even if this standard is replaced or totally rejected, the books made under its guidelines can be converted into any format (XHTML, OEB, DOCBOOK...) in just one click. FictionBook will be always more convenient in use and compatible than any of contemporary formats (TXT, DOC, HTML, LIT...). <br />
<br />
== All this is too good... ==<br />
<br />
This medal has also a backside. The making of a book to this standard will demand more effort than preparing a plain text files. But a book once created will be accessible and useful to a much greater number of users. Such a model of network libraries to supplement the existing ones, seems quite relevant.<br />

<br />
The main objective for storage of books in the FictionBook format is its accurate keeping of the book structure accompanied with the provision of effortless converting (including automatic) of FictionBook files to other popular formats: txt, doc, rtf, html and so on. Beside that, many reader applications allow to read the FictionBook format without converting. <br />
<br />
All this serves the convenience of reading. <br />
<br />
'''What's to be done:'''<br />
# The description of the format. <br />
# Software feasibility study: editors, readers, converters. <br />
# Software development. <br />
# Making quality books both in structure and contents. <br />
<br />
Another purpose is also achieved: on the basis of the data stored within the FictionBook file, one can easily create a book depot of any volume as a home or public (network) library. Such a depot requires much less processing time and effort, than storage of books of any other type. The FictionBook format is best fit for fiction. Special literature: scientific, technical, is yet hard to describe in this format. <br />
<br />
The basic information on this format can be found in the Navigation panel under '''[[Статьи|Articles]]''' and '''[[Документы|Documents]]'''. The '''[[Программы|Programs]]''' section describes various programs used for reading and making of books in the '''FictionBook''' format, librarian and other utilities. The [[Тестовая площадка|'''Testbench''']] is for testing of programs and error reports. <br />
