Talk:INX extension descriptor format

Questions related to the recent changes (Relax NG Compact (RNC)):

• How does the created Relax NG Compact (RNC) example differ/compare to the RELAX NG Schema in trunk?
• The Example INX file is outdated - the format was slightly changed in 0.47, see revisions 5472, 5946 and 5947 I added the namespace etc. Does that cover all the changes? --Flor 18:06, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

looks fine to me - thx for updating :) --~suv 07:43, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

• Additional information (as far as I could find it ;) ): Subject: Extensions (inx) files (inkscape-devel mailing list) --~suv 06:46, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Relax NG Compact

This is what I get when I convert RELAX NG Schema to Relax NG Compact with Trang. Is this the right version for the current scheme? --Flor 18:29, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Yes, it is the link to the most current version of the file in Inkscape trunk. There haven't been many changes since the file was added to the 'share/extensions' directory (2008-04-18), see the changelog for details.

I can't comment on the conversion itself (not familiar with these file types); the purpose of my initial inquiry was to keep the sources and the documentation in sync. Again thank you for updating the documentation about INX files and its parameters! --~suv 07:57, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
