Here is some feedback from using Adobe Golive to edit the TearoomXML examples: - I love it! It is so cool to be able to see all the code neatly put into little blue tags, and get at the parameters by clicking on the tag. - it's straightforward to add these new tags to the Golive HTML database. Once the plug-in arrives (and I work out how to export the Golive database) I'll be happy to provide the tags in Golive format. - The format tag seems to break your rule of named and quoted parameters. - I notice you replace fields such as [price] with . Is that the rule that all variables have a dna_ inserted in front of them in the XML format? - popup menus with auto-select still get badly broken by Golive:
