+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This file contains a full XML parser. It parses a file, and returns a list
+;; that can be used internally by any other lisp file.
+;; See some example in todo.el
+
+;;; FILE FORMAT
+
+;; It does not parse the DTD, if present in the XML file, but knows how to
+;; ignore it. The XML file is assumed to be well-formed. In case of error, the
+;; parsing stops and the XML file is shown where the parsing stopped.
+;;
+;; It also knows how to ignore comments, as well as the special ?xml? tag
+;; in the XML file.
+;;
+;; The XML file should have the following format:
+;; <node1 attr1="name1" attr2="name2" ...> value
+;; <node2 attr3="name3" attr4="name4"> value2 </node2>
+;; <node3 attr5="name5" attr6="name6"> value3 </node3>
+;; </node1>
+;; Of course, the name of the nodes and attributes can be anything. There can
+;; be any number of attributes (or none), as well as any number of children
+;; below the nodes.
+;;
+;; There can be only top level node, but with any number of children below.
+
+;;; LIST FORMAT
+
+;; The functions `xml-parse-file' and `xml-parse-tag' return a list with
+;; the following format:
+;;
+;; xml-list ::= (node node ...)
+;; node ::= (tag_name attribute-list . child_node_list)
+;; child_node_list ::= child_node child_node ...
+;; child_node ::= node | string
+;; tag_name ::= string
+;; attribute_list ::= (("attribute" . "value") ("attribute" . "value") ...)
+;; | nil
+;; string ::= "..."
+;;
+;; Since XML is case insensitive, tag_name is always converted to lower-cases.
+;; tag_name is then converted to a symbol (this is not a string, so that the
+;; list takes less space in memory and is faster to traverse).
+;;
+;; Some macros are provided to ease the parsing of this list
+
+;;; Code:
