My schedule turns out to pretty hectic during that week, so I'd prefer
to do a session the week after, maybe on Wednesday the 11th of November.
I've included an outline of what I'd like to cover below. It's probably
1h30 of material, so I'd like to split it in two parts, with a 10-15
minute break in between if possible. Alternatively, I'd have a 5-10
minute break for questions between each major section. Let me know what
you think!

     1. Introduction
     2. XML basics
             1. What is XML, why do we use it?
             2. What is an element?
             3. Elements can contain other elements
             4. Elements can have attributes
             5. Only certain elements are allowed in other elements
             6. Example (good)
             7. Example (bad)
     3. A simple Mallard document
             1. The header
             2. The info section
             3. The title
             4. A section
             5. A section with some paragraphs
             6. A section with bold text
             7. The end of the document
             8. Displaying the document in Yelp
     4. Other Mallard elements
             1. Lists
             2. Links
             3. GUI elements
             4. GUI menus
             5. Summary of others
     5. Multi-page documents
             1. Structuring a document
             2. The root page
             3. Guide pages
             4. Topic pages
             5. What are reciprocal links?
             6. Linking a page into a guide
             7. Linking guides to other guides
