I have an XML Schema (XSD) defined for my dictionary (which is finally online again!), plus XSLT files to convert the XML dictionary file into the formatted HTML that I display on my site. You can check them out at: http://www.arthaey.com/conlang/lexicon/dictionary.html http://www.arthaey.com/conlang/lexicon/dictionary.xml http://www.arthaey.com/conlang/lexicon/dictionary.xsd http://www.arthaey.com/conlang/lexicon/dictionary.xsl I also have some Perl to convert from Shoebox's .lex format to XML, but you probably aren't interested in that code. :) -- AA
