[eLML Users] New location for YAML folder

[Joël F. - I. (MELS) <joe...@id...>]

Dear eLML-Users,
I am working hard on eLML 5 release and there are some minor changes  
that might affect you:

A first change was made by Susanne in the XML Schema. If you want you  
can ignore it because your lessons will still be valid. She did loosen  
the definition of the @target attribute of the link element. Up to now  
you could only choose between target=_blank and target=_top which  
doesnt make sense. Now you can put any kind of text in this attribute  
field. If you still prefer to have a validation you can read Susannes  
text below on how to do that modifying your projects validate.xsd

A second change concerns people using YAML. The change was done by  
Thomas Linowsky and myself. As you know he wrote the Template Builder  
application that generates layout templates. Up to now you had to  
download YAML and put the "yaml" folder within your templates folder  
(eg. "plain" or "gitta" or "main" or however you called your  
template). It was on the same level as the elml.css and the online.xsl  
file. Now we moved it one step up and did put it directly within the  
"_templates" folder. This is where eLML and the Template Builder  
expects the YAML folder. Why that change? Because some projects have  
10 layout templates and more and if you use YAML you would have had 10  
copies of that folder and this doesnt make sense. Especially if you  
know that this folder contains hundreds of CSS files etc.

You can always ask me if something concerning one of these changes is  
not clear: el...@id...

Bye
Joël
