gbXML

gbXML is a graphical interface for building XML-formatted language definition files that can be used by CodeMax, a powerful editor control released by WinMain. The CodeMax control distribution includes samples of language definition files, but provides no mechanism for creating the files. Users must Create the files manually using a text editor. gbXML provides a graphical interface as an alternative - simplifying and speeding up the entry of language definition elements and their attributes. Language definition information for multiple languages is kept in a common database from which XML-formatted language files (*.lng) may be exported for use in CodeMax projects. To speed creation of language definition files, gbXML shows the results of user inputs immediately on a code sample, which the user may customize for each language. By not having to switch to the using application, language definition file generation goes much FASTER! The XML Format help section is very critical to understanding the structure of XML formatted language definition files. If you are new to CodeMax and gbXML, I highly suggest reading the section before any other section of this online Help.
