How do I create a student timetable in xml?

[shobz]

I have to create a student timetable in xml and I have no clue what to do. I am trying to figure out the markup language to use. I have to use my hardopy of the timetable and replicate it. Is there anyone here who can give me any guidance? I would really appreciate it. I have gone through all the tutorials and books.

This sounds a lot like homework and you are usually better off doing it yourself. And no doubt there is some background to the assignment that you have left out but...

Basically you are making your own mark up language. Structure the data in what ever way makes sense to you. If your class has gotten as far as namespaces then there do exist some building blocks you can use, http://web.resource.org/rss/1.0/modules/event/ & http://www.w3.org/TR/rdfcal/ for example. But if you don't know what a namespace is don't worry about it. Think of XML as a blank piece of paper and get to work with your water colors.

It is more like an assignment which I am struggling with. The thing is that I need to replicate my timetable. I have tried using a schema but i am not sure how to go ahead with it. I am posting a screenshot of my timetable along with some of the code. I only have a week to finish this and I am unable to do much. I also need to create a DTD file and an XSL/t file. anyone out there who can help. :(

I think just using tables in X/HTML would be easier.
