Format for new XML pages

Back to XML Reference

Just copy & paste the below into any new XML reference page to use as a starting point.

Please remember, list your tags first by tag type as indicated below, and then alphabetically. This is a reference site, and not everyone is familiar yet with the sometimes confusing order Firaxis gave us for the tags.

Write a summary here of what the file is used for.


==Header Tags==

These tags typically bracket other tags, sometimes the entire file, and are generally used to specify more than one piece of data.

{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"
|-
! style="background:#efefef;" | Tag Name
! style="background:#efefef;" | Description
|-
!Tag name
|enter text here
|-
!Tag name
|enter text here
|}


==Prerequisite Tags==

These tags ''must'' be included when writing new entries, or the game will crash or otherwise malfunction.

{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"
|-
! style="background:#efefef;" | Tag Name
! style="background:#efefef;" | Description
|-
!Tag name
|enter text here
|-
!Tag name
|enter text here
|}


==Text Tags==

{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"
|-
! style="background:#efefef;" | Tag Name
! style="background:#efefef;" | Description
|-
!Tag name
|enter text here
|-
!Tag name
|enter text here
|}


==Integer==

All of these tags have numerical value.  Sometimes, it can be negative, usually not.

{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"
|-
! style="background:#efefef;" | Tag Name
! style="background:#efefef;" | Description
|-
!Tag name
|enter text here
|-
!Tag name
|enter text here
|}


==Boolean==

All of these can either be 1 (on, or true) or 0 (off, or false).  Be careful, as you can wind up with a double-negative, which the game will interpret as "True".

{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"
|-
! style="background:#efefef;" | Tag Name
! style="background:#efefef;" | Description
|-
!Tag name
|enter text here
|-
!Tag name
|enter text here
|}


==List (Multi-line) Tags==

All List tags consist of an opening/closing tag, which is shown here, then each entry within it as another tag with the same name as the parent tag, minus the "s".

{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"
|-
! style="background:#efefef;" | Tag Name
! style="background:#efefef;" | Description
|-
!Tag name
|enter text here
|-
!Tag name
|enter text here
|}


==Art Tags==

These tags are directly related to the rendering of art for the entry.

{| border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"
|-
! style="background:#efefef;" | Tag Name
! style="background:#efefef;" | Description
|-
!Tag name
|enter text here
|-
!Tag name
|enter text here
|}
