-                         XML resources file format
-                      ===============================
-                      
- 1. Basics
------------
-
-XML resource is well-formed XML document, i.e. all tags are paired
-and there is only one root node, which is always <resource>.
-
-In the following text, I will use standard XML terminology:
-
-<tag_one prop1="prop" prop2='yes'>
-   <tag_two/>
-</tag_one>
-
-Here, tag_one is a node (the word 'tag' refers to the type of the node),
-prop1 and prop2 are properties and tag_two is a child node of tag_one.
-Property's default value is the value that will be assigned to the property
-if you do not specify it explicitly.
-
-I will use the term "primary node" to refer to nodes than represent controls,
-dialogs etc. "Secondary nodes" are nodes used to store data: 
-
-<dialog name="my_dlg">                primary
-  <title>Demo Dialog...</title>       secondary
-  <size>100,200d</size>               secondary
-  <children>                          secondary
-    <button name="wxID_OK">           primary
-      <label>Ok</label>               secondary
-      <pos>10,10d</pos>               secondary
-    </button>
-  </children>
-</dialog>
-
-In the example above, <label>, <pos>, <size> and <title> are "variables",
-i.e. they contain a value and not a list of children (unlike <children> node).
-
-Any node (but the root one) may have property "platform" with possible 
-values "unix", "win", "mac" or "os2". All nodes with "platform" property
-specified and other than the platform the program is currently being executed
-on will be removed when reading XML resource file.
-
-Root node may have children of these and only these types: <menu>, <menubar>,
-<dialog>, <panel>
-
-
-
- 2. IDs
---------
-
-Any primary node may have property "name" used to identify it. Default value
-is "-1", any string is legal name. Names 
-    wxID_OPEN, wxID_CLOSE, wxID_NEW,
-    wxID_SAVE, wxID_SAVEAS, wxID_REVERT, 
-    wxID_EXIT, wxID_UNDO, wxID_REDO,
-    wxID_HELP, wxID_PRINT, wxID_PRINT_SETUP, 
-    wxID_PREVIEW, wxID_ABOUT, wxID_HELP_CONTENTS,
-    wxID_HELP_COMMANDS, wxID_HELP_PROCEDURES,
-    wxID_CUT, wxID_COPY, wxID_PASTE,
-    wxID_CLEAR, wxID_FIND, wxID_DUPLICATE,
-    wxID_SELECTALL, wxID_OK, wxID_CANCEL,
-    wxID_APPLY, wxID_YES, wxID_NO,
-    wxID_STATIC, wxID_FORWARD, wxID_BACKWARD,
-    wxID_DEFAULT, wxID_MORE, wxID_SETUP,
-    wxID_RESET, wxID_HELP_CONTEXT
-are translated into corresponding wxWindows ID constant, XMLID macro is used
-otherwise to generate unique ID. wxWindows control created from named node
-will have name=name and id=XMLID(name) or wxID_XXXX.
-
-
- 3. Common variables types
---------------------------- 
-
-Variables are always of a known type:
-
-bool       - boolean value. "1", "true", "t", "on" mean TRUE, anything
-             else (namely "0", "false", "f", "off") means FALSE.
-             FIXME: maybe use only 1/0 ??
-             
-integer    - integer value, i.e. digits 0-9 plus optional minus sign.
-             
-text       - anything. Within text node all occurences of $ are replaced 
-             by & (used for shortcuts, e.g. "E&xit"), $$ by $, \\, \n, \r,
-             \t as usual in C++.
-
-style      - (also called flags) list of flags delimined by any combination 
-             of spaces and | characters. Resources parser accepts only 
-             _registered_ flags -- i.e. flags that are valid for given 
-             node/control. Example:
-                  <flag>wxEXPAND | wxTOP|wxBOTTOM</flag>
-                  
-color      - color in HTML format: #rrggbb where rr,gg,bb are hexadecimal 
-             values (00-FF) for red, green and blue components in 
-             the RGB color model
-             
-coord      - size or position information. Consists of two integers
-             separated by comma ("x,y"). The values are in pixels 
-             unless "d" is attached to the right side of it -- 
-             in which case the values are interpreted as dialog units.
-             Value of -1 means "use default". Examples: 
-                  30,30
-                  -1,-1
-                  50,-1
-                  145,56d
-                  67,-1d
-
-
-
- 4. Layout
------------ 
-
-Most common nodes layout is as follows:
-
-<primary_node name="name" platform="platform">
-    <var_1>...</var_1>
-    .
-    .
-    .
-    <var_n>...</var_n>
-    <children>
-        (n primary nodes)
-    </children>
-</primary_node>
-
-where children node is supported only by panels, dialogs etc. -- see 
-nodes description for details.
-
-In the following text, 
-
-   TYPE var_name [ (= default_value) ]
-   
-means that given primary node may have child node with name var_name
-and content type TYPE. If default value is given, the node is optional
-and default_value will be used if not specified. Otherwise, the node
-is mandatory and must always be present. For example, "color fg" means
-than variable tag fg, e.g. <fg>#rr0000</fg> is expected.
-
-
-
- 5. Common controls variables
-------------------------------
-
-_All_ nodes that represent wxWindows controls (gauge, panel, dialog, 
-textctrl etc.) accept the following properties:
-
-coord   pos       (= -1,-1) position of the control. Default value 
-                  equals to wxDefaultPosition
-coord   size      (= -1,-1) size of the control. Default value equals to 
-                  wxDefaultSize
-text    tooltip   window's tooltip
-color   bg        background color of the control
-color   fg        foreground/text color of the control
-style   style     control style flag. Default value is 
-                  control-dependent (but 0 is common value)
-style   exstyle   control extended style flag
-bool    enabled   (= 1) is the control enabled?
-bool    hidden    (= 0) is the control hidden?
-bool    focused   (= 0) has the control focus?
-
-
-_Usually_ (but not always, only when it makes sense) controls support text
-variable label which contains displayed text and/or value which contains
-editable text. These are always explicitly mentioned in tag description.
-
-
-
-
- 6. Tags description
----------------------
-
-If 'Control' is derived from wxControl, it supports all variables from '5.'
-'Styles' section lists all acceptable flags for style and exstyle variables.
-
-
- <panel>
---------- 
-      Control:
-         wxPanel
-
-      Variables:
-         only common controls variables
-
-      Styles:
-         wxNO_3D, wxTAB_TRAVERSAL, wxWS_EX_VALIDATE_RECURSIVELY
-
-
-
- <dialog>
-----------
-      Control:
-         wxDialog
-
-      Variables:
-         style    style     (= wxDEFAULT_DIALOG_style)
-         text     title     dialog's title         
-
-      Styles:
-         wxSTAY_ON_TOP, wxCAPTION, wxDEFAULT_DIALOG_style, wxTHICK_FRAME,
-         wxSYSTEM_MENU, wxRESIZE_BORDER, wxRESIZE_BOX, wxDIALOG_MODAL,
-         wxDIALOG_MODELESS, wxNO_3D, wxTAB_TRAVERSAL, 
-         wxWS_EX_VALIDATE_RECURSIVELY
-
-
-
- <boxsizer>
---------------
-      Control:
-         wxBoxSizer (not a control)
-
-      Behaviour:
-         boxsizer's parent must be either <panel>, <dialog> or another
-         sizer, nothing else!
-         
-         If the sizer does not have parent sizer, the sizer will attach itself
-         to the parent panel/dialog using SetAutoLayout(TRUE) and SetSizer().
-         If the parent panel/dialog has default size (i.e. not specified in
-         the resource), the sizer will fit it using wxSizer::Fit(). If the
-         parent panel/dialog is resizable, size hints will be set 
-         automatically.
-
-      Variables:
-         style    orient    (= wxHORIZONTAL) orientation, either 
-                            wxHORIZONTAL or wxVERTICAL
-
-      Styles:
-         wxHORIZONTAL, wxVERTICAL (for orient variable)
-
-         wxLEFT, wxRIGHT, wxTOP, wxBOTTOM, wxNORTH, wxSOUTH, wxEAST, wxWEST,
-         wxALL, wxGROW, wxEXPAND, wxSHAPED, wxSTRETCH_NOT, wxALIGN_CENTER,
-         wxALIGN_CENTRE, wxALIGN_LEFT, wxALIGN_TOP, wxALIGN_RIGHT, 
-         wxALIGN_BOTTOM, wxALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL, wxALIGN_CENTRE_HORIZONTAL,
-         wxALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL, wxALIGN_CENTRE_HORIZONTAL (for flag
-         variable of <item> or <spacer> child nodes)
-
-      Child nodes:
-         Contains child node <children> which has arbitrary number of
-         <sizeritem> and <spacer> child nodes.
-         
-          <sizeritem>
-         -------------
-            Variables:
-               integer  option    (= 0) relative size of the widget
-               style    flag      (= 0) style flag
-               integer  border    (= 0) surrounding border
-               
-            Has exactly one child node <window> that contains the control
-            (or child sizer because sizers may be nested) 
-            to be inserted into the sizer.
-
-          <spacer>
-         ----------
-            Variables:
-               integer  option    (= 0) relative size of the widget
-               style    flag      (= 0) style flag
-               integer  border    (= 0) surrounding border
-
-            Inserts empty space into the sizer
-            
-
-
- <staticboxsizer>
-------------------
-      Control:
-         wxStaticBoxSizer (not a control)
-
-      Same as <boxsizer> except that it has additional variable:
-      
-               text     label     (= "") label of surrounding static box
-
-      wxStaticBox required by wxStaticBoxSizer is created automatically!
-
-
-
- <notebooksizer>
------------------
-      Control:
-         wxNotebookSizer (not a control)
-
-      Behaviour:
-         notebooksizer's parent must be a sizer (not notebooksizer,
-         see below)!
-
-      Variables:
-         none
-
-      Styles:
-         none
-
-      Child nodes:
-         Has exactly one child node <window> that contains the notebook
-         (nothing else is allowed!) to be inserted into the sizer.
-
-
-
- <textctrl>
------------- 
-      Control:
-         wxTextCtrl
-
-      Variables:
-         text     value     (= "")default text of the control
-
-      Styles:
-         wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER, wxTE_PROCESS_TAB, wxTE_MULTILINE, wxTE_PASSWORD,
-         wxTE_READONLY, wxHSCROLL
-
-
-
- <htmlwindow>
---------------
-      Control:
-         wxHtmlWindow
-
-      Variables:
-         integer  borders   (= 0) window's borders 
-                            (see wxHtmlWindow::SetBorders)
-         text     url       (= "") if present, given page will be loaded
-         text     htmlcode  (= "") if present, given _text_ will be displayed                            
-                            (you will have to use CDATA section
-                            to embed HTML code into XML document)

-                         XML resources file format
-                      ===============================
-                      
- 1. Basics
------------
-
-XML resource is well-formed XML document, i.e. all tags are paired
-and there is only one root node, which is always <resource>.
-
-In the following text, I will use standard XML terminology:
-
-<tag_one prop1="prop" prop2='yes'>
-   <tag_two/>
-</tag_one>
-
-Here, tag_one is a node (the word 'tag' refers to the type of the node),
-prop1 and prop2 are properties and tag_two is a child node of tag_one.
-Property's default value is the value that will be assigned to the property
-if you do not specify it explicitly.
-
-I will use the term "primary node" to refer to nodes than represent controls,
-dialogs etc. "Secondary nodes" are nodes used to store data: 
-
-<dialog name="my_dlg">                primary
-  <title>Demo Dialog...</title>       secondary
-  <size>100,200d</size>               secondary
-  <children>                          secondary
-    <button name="wxID_OK">           primary
-      <label>Ok</label>               secondary
-      <pos>10,10d</pos>               secondary
-    </button>
-  </children>
-</dialog>
-
-In the example above, <label>, <pos>, <size> and <title> are "variables",
-i.e. they contain a value and not a list of children (unlike <children> node).
-
-Any node (but the root one) may have property "platform" with possible 
-values "unix", "win", "mac" or "os2". All nodes with "platform" property
-specified and other than the platform the program is currently being executed
-on will be removed when reading XML resource file.
-
-Root node may have children of these and only these types: <menu>, <menubar>,
-<dialog>, <panel>
-
-
-
- 2. IDs
---------
-
-Any primary node may have property "name" used to identify it. Default value
-is "-1", any string is legal name. Names 
-    wxID_OPEN, wxID_CLOSE, wxID_NEW,
-    wxID_SAVE, wxID_SAVEAS, wxID_REVERT, 
-    wxID_EXIT, wxID_UNDO, wxID_REDO,
-    wxID_HELP, wxID_PRINT, wxID_PRINT_SETUP, 
-    wxID_PREVIEW, wxID_ABOUT, wxID_HELP_CONTENTS,
-    wxID_HELP_COMMANDS, wxID_HELP_PROCEDURES,
-    wxID_CUT, wxID_COPY, wxID_PASTE,
-    wxID_CLEAR, wxID_FIND, wxID_DUPLICATE,
-    wxID_SELECTALL, wxID_OK, wxID_CANCEL,
-    wxID_APPLY, wxID_YES, wxID_NO,
-    wxID_STATIC, wxID_FORWARD, wxID_BACKWARD,
-    wxID_DEFAULT, wxID_MORE, wxID_SETUP,
-    wxID_RESET, wxID_HELP_CONTEXT
-are translated into corresponding wxWindows ID constant, XMLID macro is used
-otherwise to generate unique ID. wxWindows control created from named node
-will have name=name and id=XMLID(name) or wxID_XXXX.
-
-
- 3. Common variables types
---------------------------- 
-
-Variables are always of a known type:
-
-bool       - boolean value. "1", "true", "t", "on" mean TRUE, anything
-             else (namely "0", "false", "f", "off") means FALSE.
-             FIXME: maybe use only 1/0 ??
-             
-integer    - integer value, i.e. digits 0-9 plus optional minus sign.
-             
-text       - anything. Within text node all occurences of $ are replaced 
-             by & (used for shortcuts, e.g. "E&xit"), $$ by $, \\, \n, \r,
-             \t as usual in C++.
-
-style      - (also called flags) list of flags delimined by any combination 
-             of spaces and | characters. Resources parser accepts only 
-             _registered_ flags -- i.e. flags that are valid for given 
-             node/control. Example:
-                  <flag>wxEXPAND | wxTOP|wxBOTTOM</flag>
-                  
-color      - color in HTML format: #rrggbb where rr,gg,bb are hexadecimal 
-             values (00-FF) for red, green and blue components in 
-             the RGB color model
-             
-coord      - size or position information. Consists of two integers
-             separated by comma ("x,y"). The values are in pixels 
-             unless "d" is attached to the right side of it -- 
-             in which case the values are interpreted as dialog units.
-             Value of -1 means "use default". Examples: 
-                  30,30
-                  -1,-1
-                  50,-1
-                  145,56d
-                  67,-1d
-
-
-
- 4. Layout
------------ 
-
-Most common nodes layout is as follows:
-
-<primary_node name="name" platform="platform">
-    <var_1>...</var_1>
-    .
-    .
-    .
-    <var_n>...</var_n>
-    <children>
-        (n primary nodes)
-    </children>
-</primary_node>
-
-where children node is supported only by panels, dialogs etc. -- see 
-nodes description for details.
-
-In the following text, 
-
-   TYPE var_name [ (= default_value) ]
-   
-means that given primary node may have child node with name var_name
-and content type TYPE. If default value is given, the node is optional
-and default_value will be used if not specified. Otherwise, the node
-is mandatory and must always be present. For example, "color fg" means
-than variable tag fg, e.g. <fg>#rr0000</fg> is expected.
-
-
-
- 5. Common controls variables
-------------------------------
-
-_All_ nodes that represent wxWindows controls (gauge, panel, dialog, 
-textctrl etc.) accept the following properties:
-
-coord   pos       (= -1,-1) position of the control. Default value 
-                  equals to wxDefaultPosition
-coord   size      (= -1,-1) size of the control. Default value equals to 
-                  wxDefaultSize
-text    tooltip   window's tooltip
-color   bg        background color of the control
-color   fg        foreground/text color of the control
-style   style     control style flag. Default value is 
-                  control-dependent (but 0 is common value)
-style   exstyle   control extended style flag
-bool    enabled   (= 1) is the control enabled?
-bool    hidden    (= 0) is the control hidden?
-bool    focused   (= 0) has the control focus?
-
-
-_Usually_ (but not always, only when it makes sense) controls support text
-variable label which contains displayed text and/or value which contains
-editable text. These are always explicitly mentioned in tag description.
-
-
-
-
- 6. Tags description
----------------------
-
-If 'Control' is derived from wxControl, it supports all variables from '5.'
-'Styles' section lists all acceptable flags for style and exstyle variables.
-
-
- <panel>
----------

-      Behaviour:
-         boxsizer's parent must be either <panel>, <dialog> or another
-         sizer, nothing else!
-         
-         If the sizer does not have parent sizer, the sizer will attach itself
-         to the parent panel/dialog using SetAutoLayout(TRUE) and SetSizer().
-         If the parent panel/dialog has default size (i.e. not specified in
-         the resource), the sizer will fit it using wxSizer::Fit(). If the
-         parent panel/dialog is resizable, size hints will be set 
-         automatically.
-
-      Variables:
-         style    orient    (= wxHORIZONTAL) orientation, either 
-                            wxHORIZONTAL or wxVERTICAL

-         wxALIGN_BOTTOM, wxALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL, wxALIGN_CENTRE_HORIZONTAL,
-         wxALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL, wxALIGN_CENTRE_HORIZONTAL (for flag
-         variable of <item> or <spacer> child nodes)
-
-      Child nodes:
-         Contains child node <children> which has arbitrary number of
-         <sizeritem> and <spacer> child nodes.
-         
-          <sizeritem>
-         -------------
-            Variables:
-               integer  option    (= 0) relative size of the widget
-               style    flag      (= 0) style flag
-               integer  border    (= 0) surrounding border
-               
-            Has exactly one child node <window> that contains the control
-            (or child sizer because sizers may be nested) 
-            to be inserted into the sizer.
-
-          <spacer>
-         ----------

- <staticboxsizer>
-------------------
-      Control:
-         wxStaticBoxSizer (not a control)
-
-      Same as <boxsizer> except that it has additional variable:
-      
-               text     label     (= "") label of surrounding static box
-
-      wxStaticBox required by wxStaticBoxSizer is created automatically!

- <notebooksizer>
------------------
-      Control:
-         wxNotebookSizer (not a control)
-
-      Behaviour:
-         notebooksizer's parent must be a sizer (not notebooksizer,
-         see below)!

-         none
-
-      Styles:
-         none

-                            (see wxHtmlWindow::SetBorders)
-         text     url       (= "") if present, given page will be loaded
-         text     htmlcode  (= "") if present, given _text_ will be displayed                            
-                            (you will have to use CDATA section
