Explanation of the aXML Script format

This is an explanation of the current state of the aXML script format, as I (and so the interpreter) see it.

Text in italics is code.

Header
<?xml version="1.0"?> Standard XML file start

Root Tag
<activexml name="HelloWorld" version="1.0" app="texteditor" author="drigz" security="1">
This is the main tag, and everything else must be inside this. It has the following attributes:

name: The name of the program
version: The version of the program
app: The application used to create the program
author: The name of the person that created the program. This is not to be trusted!
security: The maximum security level of any function used. This can range from 1 (harmless) to 5 (potentially harmful)

Description (optional)
<description>A simple example application which echoes the text: "Hello, World!"</description>
This is optional (but must be before anything else if it does occur), and contains a description of the program.

Actions
<action type="echo"> the 'type' is the name of the action
<parameter index="1" type="literal" value="Hello, World!"/>
Each 'parameter' element details one parameter. Indices start from 1. They have the following attributes:

index: Which parameter it is
type: literal, variable, output or none. Indicates what should be used for value (i.e. string or number, a variable, or the output from the last stage. None is used to replace a variable that would have something stored in it.)
value: If type=literal, this is a number or string. If type=variable, this is the name of a variable. If type=output or none, this will be ignored (but should NOT be omitted)

</action>

End of Root Tag
</activexml> Nothing should occur after this.
