</EXAMPLE>The first line specifies that it is an XML document and gives useful
|
|
Packit |
21b7a2 |
information about its encoding. Then the rest of the document is a text
|
|
Packit |
21b7a2 |
format whose structure is specified by tags between brackets. Each
|
|
Packit |
21b7a2 |
tag opened has to be closed. XML is pedantic about this. However, if
|
|
Packit |
21b7a2 |
a tag is empty (no content), a single tag can serve as both the opening and
|
|
Packit |
21b7a2 |
closing tag if it ends with /> rather than with
|
|
Packit |
21b7a2 |
>. Note that, for example, the image tag has no content (just
|
|
Packit |
21b7a2 |
an attribute) and is closed by ending the tag with />.XML can be applied successfully to a wide range of tasks, ranging from
|
|
Packit |
21b7a2 |
long term structured document maintenance (where it follows the steps of
|
|
Packit |
21b7a2 |
SGML) to simple data encoding mechanisms like configuration file formatting
|
|
Packit |
21b7a2 |
(glade), spreadsheets (gnumeric), or even shorter lived documents such as
|
|
Packit |
21b7a2 |
WebDAV where it is used to encode remote calls between a client and a
