| Brandon | QML[quote]Recently I've been working on a project to develop an easy to parse markup language that would be suitable for a textmode Qbasic browser. My reasoning was that, with HTML, millions of pages will render, all of them incorrectly. With a new language, an admittedly smaller group of pages will be available, but they will render perfectly.
Also, I'm developing a hypertext help system for use in your programs.
What I've come up with is called QML, here's a sample:
Code:
#1
$Color 1
|
#2
$Color 2
|
#
$Color 7
|
#9
_A Bright Blue Link>http://example.com
I wrote a browser for QML called Qbrowse, which you can download here:
http://pharoah.xetaspace.net/qbrowse/Qbrowse-0,5.zip
More features are in development, to comply with the new QML 1.1 spec.
Anyway QML caught the interest of Brandon Cornell and he has now written a browser for Linux and Windows in FreeBASIC. You can get his browser CQML here:
http://brandoncornell.com/CQML/CQML_Linux.tar.gz -For Linux, requires wget
http://brandoncornell.com/CQML/CQML_WIndows.zip -For Windows, includes wget
Right now Quickspace (what I'm calling the QML net) could use a few more pages. There's a lot you can do with it already (for example I've written an RSS reader and a search engine), but we could use more community participation and a bunch more .qml pages. If anyone's interested, it would be great to see some new web designs.
The great thing about QML is that it supports ALL the IBM extended characters like only a textmode browser can, which really opens the door for a lot of ASCII art. [/quote]
The latest CQML version 2.1 is very cool, and has a Windows and Linux version. I think sometime I'll make a new version with pages and a DOS version. Anyways I'd like to see some QML pages. | 2008-08-10 | 9:33 PM |

| Brandon | Re:QMLIf you open QML and goto link 6 then link 2 it should get you there, or heres the direct link: http://pharoah.xetaspace.net/qbrowse/qml1spec.qml | 2008-08-12 | 9:12 AM |
