If you put your self-defined XML tags from your template into the HTML
note and make it well formed
i.e. "XHTML", you can then display it in a web browser and the tags
don't show in the rendered display.
But you can still use them to format the browser display using a
Cascading Stylesheet (in Mozilla,
Netscape 6, or IE5, not older Netscapes). You can also
parse the XHTML with an XML parser and extract the desired parts of the
data for research
purposes using XQL, SAX or the DOM standards for XML processing. I don't
think anybody has defined
what XML tags we should use for things like a Back Pain Template. Even
HL7 hasn't gotten down to
that level of detail as far as I could see the last time I looked. Does
Arden Syntax or SnoMed have vocabularies for this type of exam or
problem that could be represented by XML tags and become sort of
a standard?
