WxML < Tags < Home

<WxML>

The <WxML> tag serves as the root of every WxML document. All WxML content must be specified within a pair of <WxML> begin and end tags, just like HTML content is surrounded by <HTML> begin and end tags. Comments are the only constructs that may appear outside the <WxML> tag pair.

Currently, <map>, <graph>, and <plugin> tags are the only immediate children of the <WxML> tag that are recognized. Multiple instances of <map>, <graph>, or <plugin> tags are allowed. However, the WxScope Plugin will only recognize the first <map> or <graph> that it finds, and will only use the first instance of the <plugin> tag. Future WxML-based software may recognize additional instances of <map> and <graph> within a single document, and may define additional tags as children of the <WxML> tag.
