XML File Format

Here is an example of the format of the XML file the system creates:

Keep in mind...

DAPOPTIONS should have a value of M for multi-page sections (FAP files). There are other section options, but only M is applicable in XML.
Use DAPINSTANCE to provide a page number for multi-page sections. If the section does not span multiple pages, omit the DAPINSTANCE value.
When you have multiple XML transactions within a single file, separate each transaction with a line feed. This is a requirement of Documaker software, not the XML parser.
Although you do not have to include line feeds inside the XML for a transaction, we suggest you add a line feed after each element tag. This makes it easier to read the file and helps in debugging your XML. A message like

Line 255, column 8, syntax is incorrect

is easier to diagnose than

Line 1, column 156780, syntax is incorrect.
