texte = Hi All, After being on this list for only a short time, it seems that most people use the old style syntax and not the new XML style syntax. What is the reason for this? Is one better than the other or just more popular? I also get the impression that some people don't even like the new style: > Code on one line and conversion to ::shudder:: XML syntax necessary. > : ) The documentation is mostly written in the old style, with only a small section devoted to the new. Also, StoreBuilder uses the old style, while the TeaRoom is coded in the new, so apparently you can't use both. I'm trying to convert (unsuccessfully so far) the TeaRoom for our store, but since most everything is written for the old, am I going against the flow by doing this? I realize that they are very similar, but remember, I'm new to this so _any_ wasted time just sets me back that much further.Thanks to all, Marc*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--* Superior Shelving Systemshttp://www.SuperiorShelving.comThe Storage Shelving Specialists Since 1984 *--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--* ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
