Also, Up until now all, and including these patches, the id attributes have been all lowercase rather than matching the case of the text their for, IE: MapError: id='maperror' instead of 'id='MapError'. xml is case sensitive so everything that links to these must match the case. I thought this would be more consistent however after thinking about it and seeing someone comment on the irc about a function and a declared constant being identical except for capitolization, I think now I made the wrong choice. Thoughts? Should I stop making the id attributes all lowercase and instead make them match whatever item they are for? That will require going back and updating all the previous ids at some point. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> One could write a book on this topic. I prefer libX11 to libx11. If this id matches something else which is camel cased, say XOpen, I would prefer camel casing. It's a judgment call. If you follow a hard and fast rule, you will get more "wrongs" than if you apply your judgment. <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE> marcoz _______________________________________________ <A HREF="mailto:xorg-devel@lists.x.org">xorg-devel@lists.x.org</A>: X.Org development Archives: <A HREF="http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel">http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel</A> Info: <A HREF="http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel">http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel</A> </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BR> </BODY> </HTML>
