XML Introduction

eXtensible Markup Language uses tags

STRICTER than HTML!

Keyword or abbreviation in < > brackets

Uses lowercase tags and attributes

Attributes MUST have quotes around them

All tags must be balanced with an opening <item name="Home" pagename="/webmaster/"> and closing tag </item>

Tags can be nested but must be done correctly (Like parentheses [{(!)}])

Tags without a closing tag

Add extra slash (/) BEFORE ending >:
<item name="Home" pagename="/webmaster/"/>

The words in RED must be the same; use single words, no spaces or other characters:

Here's a new site's Navigation XML:

<navigator>
   <item name="Home" pagename="/i01/"/>
   <item name="About" pagename="/i01/about"/>
   </navigator>

Here's a new site's Site Structure XML:

<hierarchy>
  <story name="About" pathname="about" msgNum="2"/>
  </hierarchy>
