TML File Format
TML is strict XML; it resembles HTML, but it is not HTML. A TML file consists of an opening <pages> tag followed by one or more pages and then a closing </pages> tag. A page starts with an opening <page name="An Example"> tag; the tag must contain a name attribute which specifies the name of the page. Within a <page> tag there must be one or more paragraph level elements. Finally, a page is ended with a closing </page> tag. Pages are arranged into a tree with a single parent and zero or more children.
Paragraph level elements can be paragraphs (<p>), first level headers (<h1>), second level headers (<h2>), third level headers (<h3>), and preformatted paragraphs (<pre>). These all work basically the same way as in HTML. Any attributes are ignored. All opening tags must have a closing tag, without exception. All paragraph level elements contain text.
Paragraphs (<p>) can contain also contain additional markup of the text. <i> indicates italics text. <b> indicates bold text. <tt> indicates typewriter text. Finally, <a> are used to create links. There are two types of links. To link to an arbitrary url, use an attribute href to specify the url: <a href="www.sourceforge.org">. To link to another page within the pdb file, use an attribute pref to specify the name of the other page: <a pref="Important Information">. Again, all opening tags must have a closing tag, without exception.
There is one additional paragraph level element, <contents>, which is used to create the tree of nodes. The <item> elements within the <contents> specify the children of a particular page. A <contents> tag then contains one or more <item> tag. Each <item pref="A Page Name"> must have a pref attribute which specifies the name of a page.
Finally, to include an < in text, use < To include an > in text, use > To include an & in text, use &
