Hello,
Something that I have not heard a lick about is the ability of AB to export into XML format. Any suggestions on where to get a program to make use of these files? A
program so that maybe we could design a character sheet and export the xml directly into it?
Seems like a great idea and would like to try and take advantage of it, but again, have not heard a thing about it.
Thanks,

As far as I know, it is widely accepted that a single unit may
assault multiple enemies in the same phase. On the other note,
of which I am more certain, I read an interview with Andy Chambers
& he said that the Hold Your Ground rules were actually written
with vehicles in mind (something coming from outside normal
shooting distances to assault range...or in this case, long-range
tank shock). This, he said, allows the assailed unit to have a
chance at return fire, before being plowed into by the enemy vehicle.

XML is way, way more than that. I haven't fully had a chance to figure out
all it can do, but I'll have to soon enough for job reasons.
Building an XML app that pulls in data from an exported AB XML file should
not be difficult, but I haven't seen anyone do it yet.

That's a bug; it'll be fixed in the next version.

There's the xml -> html app included with the construction kit (at least, I
think it's still included) - that turns a saved XML file into an html
roster thing. That should have the necessary code to read everything in,
leaving you with just the task of doing something with it.

Subject: Re: XML Files
Actually, it is not much more than that. I have used it in two applications so far. SHTML is the grand dadddy and it is a spec for any tag language. XML just happens to be open so you can insert your own tags, which makes it handy to port data around in.
Although at its heart it is a nice thing, it is fat and bloated since it is text only.
The other things like DTD's and styleformatting are nothing new.

I've checked the FAQ and haven't found anything. I'm sure this issue

Go to the Settings menu, and pull down, selecting the 'Show Special
Characters' option. The appropriate special characters should appear in the
army list.

Many moons ago, I posted a question/suggestion about making army rosters
Palm-compatible, and someone mentioned that people were working on using the
XML output to port them over to the Palm. That was the last I heard of it.
If I had the time, I'd learn XML and do it myself, but you know how that

Subject: Re: XML Files
The Construction Kit includes everything you need to read an AB XML file.
In includes a parser and appropriate API for extracting all the various
elements and attributes. There is also a sample program that converts and
XML file into an HTML file very similar to the one automatically generated
by AB. There is also a detailed DTD and all the tidbits you'd need. All
that's missing is the code to generate the custom roster - which is where
YOU get to take over.
Thanks, Rob

Subject: Re: XML Files
An example is forthcoming. A Windows CE roster viewer is going to be
released to a public Beta before the end of the month. This tool uses the
public XML file, the built-in DOM of the CE device, and a bunch of XSL code
to display the rosters in a highly usable fashion. I think this is going to
impress a lot of folks when they see it.
Note! This tool will be for Windows CE devices only. A Palm version is a
separate animal for future consideration.

XML is way, way more than that. I haven't fully had a chance to figure out
all it can do, but I'll have to soon enough for job reasons.
Building an XML app that pulls in data from an exported AB XML file should
not be difficult, but I haven't seen anyone do it yet.

That's a bug; it'll be fixed in the next version.

There's the xml -> html app included with the construction kit (at least, I
think it's still included) - that turns a saved XML file into an html
roster thing. That should have the necessary code to read everything in,
leaving you with just the task of doing something with it.

Actually, it is not much more than that. I have used it in two applications so far. SHTML is the grand dadddy and it is a spec for any tag language. XML just happens to be open so you can insert your own tags, which makes it handy to port data around in.
Although at its heart it is a nice thing, it is fat and bloated since it is text only.
The other things like DTD's and styleformatting are nothing new.

I'm new to 40K and even newer to Army Builder (just picked up the CD
yesterday). How do you include Special Characters in Army Builder
(such as Eldrad Ulthran)?
I've checked the FAQ and haven't found anything. I'm sure this issue
has come up before, but I haven't been able to locate any posts that
refer to this topic in their subject line.

Go to the Settings menu, and pull down, selecting the 'Show Special
Characters' option. The appropriate special characters should appear in the
army list.

Many moons ago, I posted a question/suggestion about making army rosters
Palm-compatible, and someone mentioned that people were working on using the
XML output to port them over to the Palm. That was the last I heard of it.
If I had the time, I'd learn XML and do it myself, but you know how that
goes...

The Construction Kit includes everything you need to read an AB XML file.
In includes a parser and appropriate API for extracting all the various
elements and attributes. There is also a sample program that converts and
XML file into an HTML file very similar to the one automatically generated
by AB. There is also a detailed DTD and all the tidbits you'd need. All
that's missing is the code to generate the custom roster - which is where
YOU get to take over.
Thanks, Rob

An example is forthcoming. A Windows CE roster viewer is going to be
released to a public Beta before the end of the month. This tool uses the
public XML file, the built-in DOM of the CE device, and a bunch of XSL code
to display the rosters in a highly usable fashion. I think this is going to
impress a lot of folks when they see it.
Note! This tool will be for Windows CE devices only. A Palm version is a
separate animal for future consideration.

Getting files put together for all of DP9's games is high on my priority

My hope is that a few volunteers will step forward that will spearhead the
