Hello Jaroslaw,

Your email sounds interesting. Do you have a DTD already that I could use or would one need to be developed?

[feature-requests:#5] Add support for exporting everything what's available (also data) in an XML format

I am Jarosław Staniek, Kexi Project maintainer.

The idea is to add support for exporting everything what's available (also data) in an XML format. This would be then consumed by tools such as Kexi's MDB import plugin. Relying on tools based on reverse engineering, e.g. mdbtools, is suboptimal.

Even current amount of information provided by MDB Doc is useful though parsing XHTML is more tricky than XML. And with XML there would be a DTD possible (I believe everyone would benefit from standardization of the export format). Perhaps more general export format would bring contributors to MDB Doc?

I know exporting tool is a slightly different thing than documenting tool but why should I start similar project?

PS: Congratulations on MDB Doc. It intersects with a TODO made within the Kexi project years ago. Just added a note about it at http://community.kde.org/Kexi/Links (search for MDB Doc).
