[Xerte-dev] Re: Simplification changes to the Connector pages

[Kemp Johnathan]

I noticed the change in Quiz.rlm but did not really look at how you had
implemented it.

If you are happy with it then that's fine by me.

With regard to the parameter in the xwd do we also need to identify which
pages should not be included in Xerte desktop pages projects. I am thinking
here of the xerte.rlm or are we now using xerteModel.rlm ?

Kind regards

Johnathan
