Balisage 2024 has developer insights, case studies, and war stories concerning
all things markup:

Improving your testing with XPath constructs you may not have considered
Querying and manipulating property graphs using Graph Query Language (a
challenge to RDF and SPARQL?)
Visualizing textual alignment in both textual and graphic forms
Using iXML to produce XML to produce more iXML, and all that that entails
Simplifying marked-up content for yet another extraction of XML from Microsoft
Word
Constructing your own language to make beautiful pictures, then implementing
it with iXML and XQuery and using it to drive a graphics package
Training large language models to recognize and produce markup
Processing historic recipes using XML
Digging out from under ancient SGML-era data you must keep, when the necessary
hardware is disappearing really really soon (iXML)
There is synergy, and also simplicity, in using multiple XPaths for one
search
Using iXML to resolve historical variation when processing NMR pulse
sequences

Balisage brings together markup developers, document architects, librarians,
archivists, XML practitioners, XSLT and XQuery programmers, implementers of
XSLT and XQuery engines and other markup-related software, JSON users,
standards writers, academics, industrial researchers, government and NGO
staff,  practitioners, and consultants: the world's greatest concentration of
markup theorists.

Discussion at Balisage is open, candid, and unashamedly technical.
