[Xerte-dev] Re: updated and new model answer files

Hello Everyone,

"I had a look at the current language directory and that only seemed to
include interface items."

As far as the individual page templates go the development work is taking
place in the "pageWizards" folder of the xerte svn with the .rlm files in
the "models" folder and the wizard files in the "en" folder.

Tom has created the files that enable these models to be consumed by Xerte,
which I have obtained from his emails to the list. I can't recall where he
has uploaded them to the svn.

I will take a look at the modelAnswerResult page, and the updated
modelAnswer page, in the course of my updating work which will include
exposing all language strings included in the model file e.g. button labels
and tooltips, expressions such as "Question 1 of 8" in the page's xwd form.
This is done in such a way as to ensure the new models will be backward
compatible with existing XOT projects.

I take it the modelAnswer page replaces the original modelAnswer page. If
this is the case is it backward compatible with the original modelAnswer
page?

Kind regards

Johnathan
