Foil 7 Logical vs. Visual Design

From An Introduction to XML Basic Information Track Computational Science Course CPS616 -- Spring Semester 1999. by Nancy McCracken,Ozgur Balsoy, Tom Scavo
The logical design of a document (content) should be separate from its visual design (presentation)
Separation of logical and visual design
  • promotes sound typography
  • encourages better writing
  • is more flexible
XML can be used to define the logical design, while the XSL (Extensible Style Language) is used to define the visual design.
