RE: re[2]: [cgmo-webcgm] fontmap xml coding

[Robert Orosz <roboro@auto-trol.com>]

Don,

I see your point.  The DTD makes it clear, but for someone not familiar with
XML and DTDs that element name might lead them astray.  Since the name of
the parent element is "fontmap", "fontmapItem" might be a better choice of
name for that element.

By the way, in my haste to reply to you on Friday, I forgot to quote the
value of the useFont attribute of the defaultFont element.  It should be
written like this.

<defaultFont useFont="Arial">

XML attribute values MUST be quoted.

Rob

Rob,

Thanks for clarfication.

I think the "maplist" name is kind of misleading, maybe it should be 
something like "maplistItem" to indicate that it's an item of a list.

Don.
