Quanta Tag Dialog Definition XML

Richard Moore, rich@kde.org

Introduction

This document describes the XML files used to define tags in the Quanta HTML editor. I believe the files are encoded as UTF 8. The files define both the attributes supported by a tag (I don't think this is used currently), and the layout and contents of the properties dialog Quanta shows for the tag.

Note: The encoding needs checking and should be specified in the XML files (rich)
