Just so everyone knows, there is a more general discussion of XML and the d20 system here: d20-xml@yahoogroups.com. Since that group allows for greater...

PCGen has reached an agreement with Peter Adkinson, owner of GenCon LLC, to use the phrase; "PCGenCon World Tour 2002" The Gen Con (tm) trademark is property...
Hi Folks, Well, I've gotten my interest in this part of the project re-kindled by the discussion of LST-Editors and the discussion on the d20-xml list. So I'm...
... Hi, Peter. ... You don't know me; I've been a lurker here for awhile. I'm interested in doing some XML development as a learning process, and I have a...
... Heh, We all know how that goes. ... Well, that's one way to do it, and probably the way to go in the end, but for a first step, I was more thinking of...
It should definately being XML. You should have a self contained Character XML files which can be parsed and interpreted however it's needed. I am mostly...
... I'm thinking more of logging dependencies between files. For instance, we could have (much data elided): wotc/core_rules/players_handbook/classes.xml: ...
... I believe we're saying pretty much the same thing, I'm just beginning with a smaller step, using XML to pretty much directly replace the PCC and LST files...
... <depend>s would appear very early in the file -- they are used to link to other files, and would be useful for meta-information as well (such as...
... Cool. Makes sense. I'm going to do my homework on SAX before I ask any stupid questions about it. Though I will ask one stupid question about <mod> type...
... I haven't done much (anything, really) with DOM, but I have done some SAX. ... For the case you've described, I don't know that I'd use a MOD. There are...
Moved from pcgen list. ... We are also working on a DTD, or even better a schema, so that validation becomes natural. The big win for me is the easy...
When PCGen loads LST files, what does it do with them? Does it leave them in memory as collections of unparsed strings, or does it parse them into a more...
... As I understand it (and I haven't gone into the code) the data structures currently in PCGen are very generalized and *big*. I also understand that they...
It does parse them out, though there may be some stuff that's not parsed. Check out message #150 on this group, I used Castor to dump the XML from some of the...
... The data structures are very generalized, and some parsing does take place, but not enough. Much of the data still exists as strings, though they have...
I've worked on just such a beast on the assumption that it would be easier to convert from an intermediate XML file to the final XML format. I never checked...
If I'm starting to sound like a broken record (Or a CS major in the shower) please let me know. It seems to me that doing a full-blown conversion of PCGen to...

As far as I can see, XML introduction has one advantage, which is that it is a 'Standard', and a number of disadvantages. The advantage may be ephemeral, in...
