If you need to XML, Learn Perl

You will be typing a lot of repetitive lines. A simple for(n..q) construct can save you a lot of time.

XML will require you to write many, many lines that look 99% the same

...
<key> filenames </key>
  <array>
    <string>  00.gif</string>
    <string>  01.gif</string>
    ...
    <string>  _n_.gif</string>
  </array>

The ability to have something spit out that n-many lines is very handy.

BTW. I’m re-adding all the other pages previously known in the previous incarnation of the site.

Please tolerate some ugly pages.
