Re: XML -- Format (import)

[Jack Seay <jackseay@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found the cell for XML.IMPORT (under Actions),but not for 
XML.EXPORT. I would like to do an export first, so I can study the 
output to learn how to format for an import. Then I will try (to test 
what gzz can do) some big documents with a whole lot of links. For 
example, some of the wikipedia and a couple of versions of the Bible 
and the Jargon file and the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

in the meantime I co'ed the sources and surprise ;-)
I found the following
piece of code
Now I'm going to test this ....  * Written by Tuukka Hastrup
 * Very heavily modified by Tuomas Lukka
 */ /** An XML importer/exporter.
 * <p>
 * Export: <ul>
 * <li> with data view cursor, point to a cell containing the filename
 * <li> running the action <b>XML.EXPORT</b> will now export the 
whole space I made a cell and put the XML.EXPORT
in it.
And another cell with the file-name as contents.  * </ul>
 *<p> I understand it
now I run the command, the action took place and a the file was 
generated.  * Import: <ul>
 * <li> with data view cursor, point to a cell containing the filename
 * <li> if there's a cell from that cell poswards on <d>d.1</b>, this cell
 *      will be used as a root for the imported space, otherwise a new
 *      cell is created there
 * <li> running the action <b>XML.IMPORT</b> will now import the whole space.
 * XXX <string>Notice</string> that if there was a connection from home cell
 * negwards on d.1 to be imported, it's not there because that's where
 * the filename cell is!
 */ I'll try it later ... public class XML {
public static final String rcsid = "$Id: XML.java,v 1.11 2000/11/03
