Using Code Examples

This book is here to help you get your job done. In general, you may use the code in this book in your programs and documentation. You do not need to contact us for permission unless you're reproducing a significant portion of the code. For example, writing a program that uses several chunks of code from this book does not require permission. Selling or distributing a CD-ROM of examples from O'Reilly books does require permission. Answering a question by citing this book and by quoting example code does not require permission. Incorporating a significant amount of example code from this book into your product's documentation does require permission.

We appreciate, but do not require, attribution. An attribution usually includes the title, author, publisher, and ISBN. For example: " XML Publishing with AxKit , by Kip Hampton. Copyright 2004 O'Reilly Media, Inc., 0-596-00216-5."

If you feel your use of code examples falls outside fair use or the permission given above, feel free to contact us at permissions@oreilly.com.

Acknowledgments

I would like to thank my editor, Simon St. Laurent, for his wisdom and feedback, and the good folks at O'Reilly for standing behind this book and seeing it through to completion. Thanks to Matt Sergeant for coding AxKit in the first place and to Matt, Barrie Slaymaker, Ken MacLeod, Michael Rodriguez, Grant McLean, and the many other members of the Perl/XML community for their tireless efforts and general markup processing wizardry. Thanks, and a hearty and heartfelt "DAHUT!" to Robin Berjon, J rg Walter, Michael Kr ll, Steve Willer, Mike Nachbaur, Chris Prather, and the other cryptid denizens of the AxKit cabal. Finally, special thanks go out to my family, especially to my brother, Jason, whose patience, support, and encouragement truly made this book possible.
