I'm building a straightforward website for my buddy. &nbsp;He wants me to include a default page and several &quot;news&quot; pages on which he'll modify the text regularly. &nbsp;(The page layout will remain static.) &nbsp;I want to give him a construct where he can update the site with no effort on my part. &nbsp;I'm looking for a simple construct but also one that makes updating the site as easy as possible.<br />

XML with XSLT and CSS? &nbsp;<br />
I did some fancy stuff with XML and the PHP Expat Parser a few months ago, but that seems like overkill.<br />
Something else?<br />

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.

Web Languages and Standards

Extensible Markup Language (XML) refers to the encoding of documents such that they can be read by both machines and humans. XML documents use tags to show the beginning and end of a set of data. XML is used extensively on websites to show volumes of data, and is the default for a number of office productivity suites. This topic includes discussions of XML-related technologies, such as XQuery (the XML Query language), XPath (the XML Path language), XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations), XLink (the XML Linking language) and XPointer (the XML Pointer language).
