Hi,
have you considered using a more JSON-like syntax instead of XML?
Example:
HBox {
homogeneous: false
Label {
label: "_Hello"
with-mnemonic: true
expand: false
fill: false
}
Entry {
g:public: "my_entry"
text: "World!
}
}
(similar to JavaFX Script and QML)
Most people do not enjoy writing XML by hand. And the code islands
would not have to be embedded in <![CDATA[ ]]> blocks.
Otherwise I think people will not see the difference to loading the UI
at runtime via GtkBuilder.
Best regards,
Frederik
