Between 2000 and 2003 I worked for a company that produced corporate training materials (initially on CDROM, later as learning-management-system units). We had a system which allowed the content authors to write in structured Word files. VBA would create XML of the Word files, and XSLT would create the HTML. I mostly worked in the XSLT and JS/CSS layers, not on the XML generation layer. It was my first job out of uni and I found XSLT fascinating and slightly psychedelic.
