<!-- Simple schema for FreeBSD Project news.
|
|
|
|
Divide time in to <year>, <month>, and <day> elements, each of which
|
|
has a <name>.
|
|
|
|
each <day> element contains one or more <event> elements.
|
|
|
|
Each <event> contains an optional <title>, and then a <p>. <p> elements
|
|
can contain <a> anchors. Within the "href" attribute of the anchor
|
|
$base will be replaced with the base URI necessary to reach the FreeBSD
|
|
document root, and should always be used to start URLs at www.FreeBSD.org
|
|
or one of the mirrors.
|
|
|
|
Use the <title> element if the <p> content is lengthy. When generating
|
|
synopses of this information (e.g., for syndication using RDF files),
|
|
the contents of <title> will be preferred over <p>.

section of the

of the install covers. The bulk of the work was carried out by
