As author of the projectxml I can say that extension is not trivial |
| 23 |
(projectxml is somewhat an extension of guidexml). The main problem is that |
| 24 |
the documents must remain compliant to the DTD of the format. Extending as |
| 25 |
such is nontrivial. The way projectxml does it is accepting all the relevant |
| 26 |
guidexml tags, just copy those over and then run the guidexml stylesheet over |
| 27 |
the result (which then also includes the project specific stuff). |
