I've just begun delving into the DTD that defines the d20 srd, and I have a few concerns...Some may be misunderstandings, since I just got my feet wet in xml...
I'm not really an active part of the discussion here, so take this with a grain of salt, but the general argument for XML is to avoid exactly this. Basically,...

... I personally will be using DocBook in any description tags I have in my various projects. They don't provide explicit formating, but instead detail the...

Hi All, big changes to the classes.xml file since my last post. I've divided out the individual classes, so now there are 11 files: classBbn.xml - Barbarian ...
Looks good. I'd say it's time to expand it to include other properties of class. The problem now becomes how do we reference other entities? For instance,...
... Actually, it would be something like: <skills> <skill ref="skills/skill[@id=alchemy]" /> </skills> as "skills/alchemy" would imply that we've created an...

... Essentially XIncludes allow you to put a place marker in XML file A, that references either XML file OR an XPath into file B. Then when processed with an...
Very cool - W3C - definitely knows where it's taking this technology. Haven't read the rec front to back yet but it looks like a cleaner way to access external...
Just out of curiosity, has anyone given any thought to an editor of some sort? Not all DM's are techno savy, and proly are not going to adopt using XML if they...
Primarily, we are concentrating on the data exchange format. Though the list is comprised of people interested in all aspects of the project. E.g., we have...
Should the character tag structure explicitly somewhere in it contain the current class level or should it be derived from the character's XP value? In my...
In my opinion, it needs to be explicit. Multi-classing is the reason. We would need to know the difference between a 4th level Fighter/4th level Wizard vs 6th...

The Xp value needs to be stored outside of the class structure, and each level of each class needs to be described separately in order to preserve the...
In the tool I am building (sorry, not an XML editor, but I plan to import and export via XML), I am swapping the hierarchy that you propose below. Essentially,...
I can't speak for Keith, but I'd think it would be more the other way around: <levels> <level id='1'> <class xid='Bard' ...> <!-- ... --> </class> </level> ...

In the example below, I read that to be a 1st level Bard & a 2nd level Rogue? Is this correct? To me it doesn't answer the question of the last level. Did my...
