Dene, XML is just a data storage format that is very similar to HTML. Put simply it's a list of key/tag and value pairs. However the tags/keys are not predefined like HTML - you can use whatever you like since it's a generic storage format. For example you could store your personal info in an XML file like so : <name>Dene</name> <surname>Maxwell</surname> <gender>male</gender> If you have more than one person you could wrap the info inside another key like so : <person> <name>Dene</name> <surname>Maxwell</surname> <gender>male</gender> </person> You'll find plenty of info in data/Docs regarding the keys/tags that FlightGear/SimGear use/expect.
