Website

Contains static information about the web-project.
Tag names should be self-explanatory, values should be stored as CDATA-elements.

Content

Represents a page.
The xml:id attribute starts with an alphabetic character (atm it’s always ‘a’, for no special reason, just because the xml-specification doesn’t allow integers as ids) which is followed by an unix-timestamp. Attribute “restriction” is not in use right now, but will be used for access control in later versions. The “visible” attribute indicates, if the page is visible (=“true”) for viewers (should also affect the navigation items). Each “content”-tag contains (mostly self-explanatory) items that contain information about the site. Plugin-specific page-content is stored inside the “main”-tag. Every element inside the “content”-tag should be stored as CDATA-element, except for “type”.
