Yesterday, a tweet, from @jirkakosek, reminded me that I needed to mention a recent bit of work I got done using the impressive oXygenXML XML editor.
Over the later part of last year and early part of this year I had collated a series of small recipes I had been gathering for a modest little book (Ant Recipes for Web Developers). These recipes were just simple little snippets of how to subvert Apache Ant to do common web related software development tasks. I thought that with me spending most of my time on XProc I had to 'clear the decks' with previous technologies ... I had used Apache Ant for many years for many of the things that XProc is purpose built to do.
