XML and the XML Library

Is there any available reference to the LiveCode's XML Library, and/ or some tutorial stack about the LiveCode XML commands? I've heard about Sarah Reichelt's stack but it seem to have vanished from the web.

If you click the linck you'll get a weird

#!/bin/sh # MetaCard 2.4 stack # The following is not ASCII text, # so now would be a good time to q out of more exec mc $0 "$@"

as I did, I guess. If you download the file by any other method, as I did, you'll get a sad warning that the stack is corrupted.

So far, no cigar, then

Hi daniel,

that line IS in fact correct, this is the header of the older Liveocde 2.4 file format :-)
Unfortunately there is nothing more in the file than this line, looks like the stacks are corrupted!?

I found the stack on my hd and Sarah will surely not mind me attaching it here :-)

Big thanks, extensive to Sarah, of course. This stack should be in the page one of the "Aids for beginners" webpage. The XML functions she's describing are different from what one can find in LC today?

Hi Daniel,

no, the examples and syntax are still valid and up-to-date!
