XML and config files, a few thoughts: * Never again will you have to worry if the string you write-back to the config file contains some non-ascii characters. * Someone want's to add some hierarchical info to the file? Works. You're parser's already there. * Yes, the DTD thing sound quite nice to me (although haven't used this approach yet.) * One thing I try to stick to: Only use attributes for the actual config information, that way the file can always be pretty-print saved and it's no problem for a human to edit. Cheers, good luck :-) best regards / mit freundlichen Grüßen, Martin Trappel _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ xml@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
