[NFBCS] Editing xml

[Doug Lee]

Notepad can safely edit xml, yes. Make sure you change only the first two of the following types of information in the XML file:

1. Material between quotes after an equal sign; example, the Doug in <record name="Doug">

2. Material inside a tag that is itself not more XML structure; example, the Doug Lee in <name>Doug Lee</name>

3. Tag names like "name" above, and attribute names like "name" in the first example. You may be able to delete these with their content, but the names should not change.

I want to edit some xml and take out a bit of text.  I've never done it, but
I've seen the code, and it doesn't seem too hard.  Is it harder than it
seems?  Can I do it with Notepad?

Thanks.
