[Xenocide-programming] Creative Texts in XML format

[Breunor <br...@pr...>]

Hey Everyone, I've read back in the archives and it seems like this item is 
still at large but in progress. Regarding the text descriptions we'll see 
in the X-Net/UFOPedia interface, is it accurate to say each entry with be a 
text file using XML tags (not yet defined?) and those tags will be used by 
the code to format the visual layout of the text? If that's an accurate 
assumption, are you looking at the specs for something like 
xml.openoffice.org layout or something else?

I'm curious because we are building up quite a number of text descriptions 
as well as related texts that are either in txt or rtf format, and even the 
text itself isn't in a standard layout to date. I'd like to direct the CTD 
members along a narrower path so we have less follow up work later on. If 
the XML format for these texts has not been considered yet, I can write up 
a proposal based on my research in the text description area. It would 
appear to be a fairly limited set of tags, for things like font type and 
size, underline/bold, line feeds and carriage returns, that type of thing.

Thanks,
Breunor
