That's because validating an ini file is trivially easy: the line is a comment line, which must start with a # after optional whitespace, or it is a section header, where all data must be surrounded by [], or it is a key-value pair, where the key must be one word and be separated by the value by a = or it is invalid. There, validation. To validate an XML file, much more is involved, including checks of nested tags and escaped characters. > BTW, how do you do nested blocks in .ini files? You can't, and that's a feature. Instead, you have keys where the value is the name of another section (or possibly another ini file) containing the "nested" data. Anyway, this is fairly off-topic for -devel, so EOT for me. -- Copyshops should do vouchers. So that next time some bureaucracy requires you to mail a form in triplicate, you can mail it just once, add a voucher, and save on postage. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
