The xml specification was designed to give developers a lot of flexibility in how the data is structured, and a key to understanding the structure is a schema or dtd file. That's what tells you what xml tags are permissible and expected. Here's the schema for gpx data: http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd Don't worry, it isn't designed to be understandable by humans, and it's a good example of the sort of recursive data structure I was talking about. But basically everything you need to know about the gpx data format is right there. -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
