About dialog definition files
The structure of the included files that are referenced in MarkUpTag.vtm and in
ExpressionElements.vtm is basic. The files contain a set of category and element
tags. Category tags can contain any number of elements or other nested category
tags, for example:
<cat … main category>
<cat … sub-category No.1>
<e … >
<e … >
<e … >
</cat>
<cat … sub-category No.2>
<e … >
<e … >
</cat>
</cat>
Category tag
The cat tag defines a category in the Category tree. The Category tree populates the
left pane of Tag Chooser and Expression Builder.
For syntax and usage information, see ../VTML_Reference/cat.htmlcat/a in the
VTML Reference.
Element tag
The e tag defines elements within a category. These elements populate the right
pane in Tag Chooser and the Expression Builder.
For syntax and usage information, see ../VTML_Reference/e.htmle/a in the VTML
Reference.
The following section explains how to create and update category and element tags.
