  - User Interface
  - XML for Domino
    The following topics cover some general guidelines for using XML in Domino applications and list all the elements, attributes, and entities in the Domino Document Type Definition (DTD):
    - Using XML with Domino
      Domino now provides support for Extensible Markup Language, or XML. XML enables you to tag data in order to delimit it, leaving the interpretation of the data to the applications that read it. Unlike Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), which describes the appearance of data, XML describes the structure of data. This makes XML compatible with Domino, which stores data in structured documents, separate from its presentation. By using XML -- working on data separated from its presentation -- you can now generate more powerful Domino applications.
    - Reading a DTD
      A Document Type Definition (DTD) describes the content and hierarchy of Extensible Markup Language (XML) tags that are used by an organization to define data it wants to share across platforms. The DTD consist of the following:
    - The Domino DTD
      The Domino Document Type Definition (DTD) describes the structure of DXL, the Domino version of Extensible Markup Language (XML). The DTD contains the definitions of the XML tags that you can use to validate your XML documents while converting external XML data into Domino databases or to understand any XML documents produced while exporting internal Domino databases into XML.
      - Core entities
        The following are core entities:
      - Common entities
        The following are DTD entities that are referenced in other entities or in more than one element:
      - acl (Domino DTD)
        Defines the structure of an access control list (ACL) in a Domino database. The ACL is unique in that it is similar to a design note, but behaves as a separate object that holds information in a Domino database. In DXL, the ACL is treated as a root element, which enables you to manipulate it independently, without having to import or export an entire database.
      - aclentry (Domino DTD)
        Represents an acl entry in a Domino database. An aclentry can consist of a person, server, or server group that is assigned an access level to perform specific tasks in a database. The attributes of this element define the access and editing privileges a user has for a database.
      - action (Domino DTD)
        Represents an action. An action is code that consists of one or a combination of Domino actions, formula language @functions or @commands, LotusScript language or Java language programs. The developer indicates how an action can be accessed by a user; it is usually displayed as a button in an action bar in a view, form, or page, or is included in the Actions option on the menu bar.
      - actionbar (Domino DTD)
        Represents the action bar in a form, view, or page.
      - actionbarstyle (Domino DTD)
        Defines the action bar size and background properties.
      - actionbuttonstyle (Domino DTD)
        Represents the style settings for buttons in the action bar.
      - actionhotspot (Domino DTD)
        Represents an Action Hotspot. This element should contain a code element that contains the simple action, formula, LotusScript, or JavaScript code to execute when a user clicks the action hotspot. It should also contain richtext, which is the text that a user clicks to trigger the action.
      - addedtofile (Domino DTD)
      - agent (Domino DTD)
        Represents a Domino agent as a named design element. An agent is a program that runs a series of automated tasks according to a set schedule or at the request of a user. An agent consists of three components: the trigger (when it acts), the search (what documents it acts on), and the action (what it does).
      - agentdata (Domino DTD)
        Represents an agent data note. An agent data note is created and obtained via the Notes backend classes and is populated by the agent code. It can contain persistent data that is used from run to run of an agent. Agent data notes are not imported, but they can be exported for information purposes.
      - agentmodified (Domino DTD)
        Specifies the last time an agent was modified.
      - agentrun (Domino DTD)
        Specifies the last time an agent was run.
      - anchor (Domino DTD)
        Represents an anchor, which is a target location within a document. When a document link jumps to a target document, it can jump to the beginning of the document or to a specific location within it. An anchor reserves the specific location within a target document for the link to jump to.
      - appletparameters (Domino DTD)
        Represents the parameter for a Java applet.
      - appletresource (Domino DTD)
      - appletresourcefileref (Domino DTD)
        Represents a reference to a file within a Java applet resource design element.

        Represents a hotspot area on an image that a user can click to link to another database resource or a URL.
      - associatedfiles (Domino DTD)
        Additional files that are associated with the embedded or linked object. In Designer, these files are listed in the Associated Files tab of the Object Properties box. They are made up of $FILE items that are not part of the files that make up the object itself.
      - attachmentref (Domino DTD)
        Represents a reference to a file attachment to be imported. Once the attachment is imported, it is stored as a $File item. A file that is imported as an attachmentref element is represented by a $File item if it is then exported. An attachmentref element will not display in the resulting dxl of an export operation. Each file attachment associated with a note is stored with that note as a $File item. This element enables you to import a file by reference rather than importing it as a $File item. You can define the file as an attachmentref and specify its path and file name.

      - item (Domino DTD)
        Represents an item in a note. Items store the content of a note. Every Domino note contains a set of items determined by the note class. All form notes, for example, contain the same set of items, though the values of the items differ from form note to form note. Likewise, view notes contain the same set of items. Documents, however, contain different items, depending on the form that was used to create them. An example of an item is the $Revisions item, which contains a list of time stamps that record when revisions were made to a note. This item is common to most notes, regardless of its class type. Each item has a name, type, one or more flags, a length, and a value.

        You can create a profile document using a profile form. On the profile form, specify the field values to store in the profile document based on your design needs. You can create one document for a database or multiple documents that are differentiated by a key you specify. Profile documents are different from standard documents because they are invisible in views, they are not included in the document count for a database, and they are cached while the database containing them is open. This makes profile documents useful for storing database-wide data, such as environment variable information, or per-user data, such as user preference information. In either case, because profile documents are cached, you can quickly retrieve information stored in them.
      - region (Domino DTD)
        Represents a region of rich text that follows an element that spans across multiple paragraphs of rich text. DXL handles large spans of rich text by breaking it into multiple elements. The first element is the construct, an actionhotspot element, for example, that exists in the rich text. The remaining paragraphs or areas of rich text are broken into region elements that are identified by unique ids.
      - revised (Domino DTD)
        Represents the date and/or time a note was revised.
      - revisions (Domino DTD)
        Represents a list of the dates and times that a note was revised. This information is stored in the $Revisions item of a Notes form, which is created the first time a document is edited.
