Beginner XML Questions

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

Beginner XML Questions

Post by Foundation »

I'm creating an XML doc to display a generic list and one of the listings is supposed to be for the date.

Is it possible to create a tag that is formatted like:

<03.31></03.31>

..or does it have to start with a letter? Could I do:

<date ="03.31"></date>?

(Please remember I'm very new with XML so forgive me if this is grossly obvious!)

Thanks in advance.

you are not allowed to create an element ( aka tag ) with the first character as a number
