XML _is_ plain text. You can edit it quite simple with your |
| 7 |
usual text-editor. Only that XML will give you the |
| 8 |
advantage of "naming" texts. What is done now with a |
| 9 |
special kind of formatting (date, name, mail-address, ...) |
| 10 |
or indention will be surrounded by XML-tags. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
If you prefer text without XML-tags it would be quite easy |
| 13 |
writing a script that will translate the ChangeLog into the |
| 14 |
"old" way and displaying it. Gernerating HTML-pages or |
| 15 |
anything else is also quite simple. One of the benefits |
| 16 |
using XML! |
