Creation of XML structures

The speedata Publisher can create, save and read in XML files. This allows you to create tables of contents, cross-references and other applications.

The XML structure is not created directly, but indirectly via the two commands <Element> and <Attributes>. So the following XML file

<Root>
   <Greeting content="Hello, world!" />
</Root>

are generated from this structure in the layout rules:

<Element name="Root">
  <Element name="Greeting">
    <Attributes name="content" select="'Hello, world!'"/>
  </element>
</element>

can be generated. Text content outside of attributes, such as mixed content, cannot be output with the Publisher.
