Is there a good reason it is in XML format instead of boring HTML? What is the advantage of XML?

XML is used because:

- one file is used for both index and full command view
- formatting is kept separate from content

From the reasons above, maintenance (like adding new commands or changing them) is much easier. Command reference is also much smaller than it could be if implemented as HTML.

Where do you find the vehicles/weapons lists?

You find them in top-left frame (Table of contents). You need IE6 or other full XML compliant browser to see it, though. In IE5 you are viewing simplified version only (as indicated on first page).

Hey Suma long time no see....

I got an idea for the reference...put a search in there...makes it quicker for people to get what they want...

the way u have done your ref is good but the ofpedittingcenters is better as far as content and ease of use....

I got another question....was there ever a CreateWP command??
i cant see it in any of the comrefs so im starting to think that i had dreamt it....

*worried look*

just an idea anyway dude...l8er

As main page is single text, you can use browser built-in search easily. To use it Click into main frame with command descriptions and press Ctrtl-F or select Edit/Find t to bring it up.

Implementing search directly in web page requires underlying search engine, which is not really easy.

I need some suggestions - I&#39;d like the newer parts of it, not only the ie5 parts, but there is no way I download anything like ie6 - bloatware deluxe, plus I don&#39;t think my system will run properly afterwards (ie changes a bit too much and sometimes fücks up)

Opera doesn&#39;t quite support xml either (only in name, at least as of yet). Anyone with suggestions? Small (at least in download size, @56k) Dedicated xml viewers would be preferrable.
