hdl: no, the variables there were just an extension of Paul's original syntax, imagined to be easily parseable.
Jesse: YAML sounds good to me, too. The only reason for suggesting xml or xml-ish format is we already use XML::Simple, so have an easy way to parse without additional modules. rickw: obviously it's not valid xml; it was intended as a snippet for the purpose of communicating an idea, not as an implementation of that idea. I did not mean to suggest that librarians would be creating these documents, just downloading them and installing them in their Koha instances. As far as I know, there's no DTD for koha-conf.xml, and it has yet to cause all manner of mayhem and chaos. ( assuming we conveniently forget about the auth_with_ldap problem, which did in fact cause a small bit of mayhem :) ). I would imagine copying-and-pasting raw sql (or sql-plus-koha-parseable-DBI-variable-substitution ) would not cause any less chaos, which is why I thought to suggest an alternative. What I am imagining is that I, as a librarian, or ILS admin, might find a guided report that looks useful when I look at contribs.koha.org, and then download the *.xml file to my desktop, upload it into my Koha instance, and run it, with options meaningful to my local installation. cheers, Ryan On Fri, Aug 29, 2008 at 5:41 PM, Rick Welykochy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jesse Weaver wrote: > > > OK then.
