Didn't make myself clear. This is not a question on how to do something, but one of why it is done in a particular way. Let me try again. The package tag has 5 attributes, each which can take a value. The install tag has the command attribute, and an additional tag, exit. Why is exit a separate tag, instead of being an attribute of install? More generally, what is the reason to encode data as an attribute instead of a tag? -- Sherwood Botsford sbotsford at sjsa.ab.ca St. John's School of Alberta 780-848-2881 Ext 134 RR - 5, Stony Plain, Alberta, T7Z 1X5 |
