In the past year, I made three programs for the InDesign using the XML.The first step was a test version for me to understand the XML specification on the InDesign. I needed to know how an object of the InDesign correlates with an element of XML. It’s a research work level, just one year ago.
The second step too was a test version. This one aimed to remake a catalog I made before, but there was no order from a client. It was a mere target. A XML this program handles became complexity one because of hoping too much, and too many things I didn't know. I did try and error many times. It was at the end of last year.
The third step was for a real job. I intend to write simply as possible as I can. But elements hierarchy might be too simple in contradiction to the previous job. I couldn’t sight features of XML in the structure and thought the structure was not considered about getting out modified data on a document of InDesign. Anyhow, I was required to make documents by no mistake. So, I chose an easy way. It was just one month ago.
Now, I’m designing one of the fourth step in consideration of some defects in history and a demand for next job. I want to get a comfortable result.
Postscript, it is rain today, too. (>.<)
