Mark Woods: A Busy Writer's Guide to Radio Renderers.  [Scripting News] This document provides a quick introduction to writing stories using HTML renderers in Radio 8.0. Renderers provide a simple mechanism for formatting text within specific HTML constructs (e.g. a table) without specifying the actual HTML tags. The renderer infers the desired HTML construct based on 1) a directive to use a specific renderer and 2) the hierarchical structure of an outline. For more background on how and why renderers simplify an author's work, please read "The Case For Renderers" (forthcoming). 4:59:44 PM
