Documents structure

XPAGES documents have a root element, XPAGES set, that is used in all the documents as a first level element. Under this element, the following elements can be found : Informations, Page, Ref. XPAGES document and XPAGES set.

• Informations is a metadata block, i.e. informations about the document. It is described later on.
• Page represents a web page, and has a title and a label used to create links to the page. In the latest version of XPAGES, it is possible to associate a semantic role to pages (as with sections).
• Ref. XPAGES document is a reference (via the label) to another XPAGES document, that will be included in place of the Ref. XPAGES document element. This is used to create a website with several levels : for instance, one can create a website with a home page, and several sets of pages. To do that, an XPAGES document is created for the website, containing the home page and Ref. XPAGES document references to the different sets of pages in the website.
• XPAGES set under XPAGES set can be used to add another level to the tree, as with REFXPAGES, but without creating a new document.

Inside a page, sections can be created with the Section element. This element has a title, a role that specifies the meaning of the section and can result in a different display for each function, and an importance that can be used to highlight the section if it is important.

The text is added inside paragraphs, with the Paragraph element. It is easy to insert a new paragraph with the command-P or control-P shortcut in Jaxe.

It is possible to create several contributions, each one containing an XPAGES XML file and the associated files (images, Java applets, ...). Each contribution corresponds to a folder whose name is the same as the label given in the Informations block in the XML file. This folder contains the XML file and the associated files.
