GuideXML would not be an appropriate format in any case. GuideXML is too |
| 15 |
bloated with presentation items to be of use for such a purpose. While |
| 16 |
one could argue for an xml source version, it would certainly not be |
| 17 |
guidexml. This is also not necessary as it is possible to easilly apply |
| 18 |
double transformations by first transforming a file into guidexml and |
| 19 |
then into html. Look at the herds.xml file or projectxml for an example |
| 20 |
of this. |
