eLML - eLesson Markup Language

The term eLesson Markup Language (eLML) is an testopen source XML framework for creating structured eLessons using XML. For easier lesson authoring eLML we offer the web-based WYSIWYG Firedocs eLML Editor and to create eLML template layouts withouth any XSLT-knowledge you can use our new Template Builder. Once you created your eLML-lesson you can transform it into many different output-formats like IMS Content Package or SCORM, various HTML-templates, eBooks (ePub format), PDF, Office-Document (ODF) and many more listed under "Output Formats". Check out the eLML-tools page for more useful software and check the download page for the latest eLML release. The eLML project is hosted at Sourceforge and offers all the regular tools (CVS, bugtracker, forum etc.) that you might already be familiar with when working with Sourceforge.
