Dorothy Hoskins

Dorothy Hoskins is an XML evangelist; her true love is the development of processes that tie together various applications for publishing XML to both print and web. Her recent book, XML Publishing with InDesign CS2+ (O’Reilly, June 2007) shows XML development for InDesign CS3 with XSLT as part of the import/export process (and for CS2 as a pre- or post-processing step).

From her initial career as a graphic artist and designer/illustrator, she has been lead far afield by her interests in all things XML. Besides creating server-side XSLT for a global corporation’s website, client-side widgets, and podcasts, she has created publishing workflows for importing database-derived XML into Adobe’s FrameMaker and InDesign CS3 products. She has presented numerous times on XML and XSL for the Society for Technical Communication and higher ed computing groups.

She resides with her family in western New York, where she finds the weather a refreshing change from her native Florida.
