Re: Re: is XML too hard?

I don't know lisp but this analogy seems to me not quite correct. For instance how about this XML:

<REALLYLONGNAME with_a_property='aaa'> some free form text <ANOTHERLON
+GNAME>foo</ANOTHERLONGNAME> text text</REALLYLONG
+NAME>
[download]

How would you translate this to lisp?

xml-dev s-expression + xml-dev lisp has some good return results. For this example visist http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200112/msg00438.html. Actual lisp programmers would know how to write the text bits as well. `(REALLYLONGNAME [with_a_property="aaa"] " some free form text " (ANOTHERLONGNAME "foo") " text text")` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

OK - I was fooled by the unquoted 'foo' in the first example.	[reply]

OK. This allready has been answered in fact and I withdraw all my pretensions. For my explanation - I was lured by the lack of quoting in your first example.	[reply]
