/**
@page xml_scheme Scheme XML files.
@author Paul D Turner

A Scheme file is a largely means to group other data files and resources
together, and to define some of their interactions, and form a single point
to load what might be considered a 'skin' for CEGUI's windows and widgets.

@section xml_scheme_contents Scheme Element List:
@ref xml_scheme_falagardmapping <br>

@section xml_scheme_overview Overview
The reference for each element is arranged into sections, as described below:
- Purpose:
    - This section describes what the elements general purpose is within the
      specifications.

- Attributes:
    - This section describes available attributes for the elements, and whether
      they are required or optional.

- Usage:
    - Describes where the element may appear, whether the element may have
      sub-elements, and other important usage information.

- Examples:
    - For many elements, this section will contain brief examples showing the
      element used in context.


<br>
@section xml_scheme_guischeme \<GUIScheme\> Element
- Purpose:
    - The \<GUIScheme\> element is the root element of the scheme file.

- Attributes:
    - @c version: specifies the version of the resource file. Should be
    specified for all files, current CEGUI scheme version is: 5
    - @c name: Specifies the name that the scheme will be known by within the
      system.  Required attribute.

- Usage:
    - The \<GUIScheme> element is the root element for scheme files.
    - The \<GUIScheme> element may contain the following sub-elements
      (in any sequence):
        - Any number of \<Imageset\> elements.
        - Any number of \<ImagesetFromImage\> elements.
        - Any number of \<Font\> elements.
        - Any number of \<LookNFeel\> elements.
        - Any number of \<WindowSet\> elements.
        - Any number of \<WindowRendererSet\> elements.
        - Any number of \<WindowAlias\> elements.
        - Any number of \<FalagardMapping\> elements.
    - No element may contain a \<GUIScheme> element as a sub-element.

- Examples:

<br>
@section xml_scheme_falagardmapping \<FalagardMapping\> Element
- Purpose:
    - Specifies a mapping that ties together a concrete CEGUI::Window based
      object, a concrete CEGUI::WindowRenderer based object, and a WidgetLook
      definition to create a specified window type that can then be instantiated
      via the CEGUI::WindowManager.

- Attributes:
    - @c windowType: Specifies a name for the mapping / window type being
      created.  Required attribute.
    - @c targetType: Specifies the name of the concrete CEGUI::Window based
      object that contains the logic for the window type being specified.
      Required attribute.
    - @c renderer: Specifies the name of the concrete CEGUI::WindowRenderer
      based object that contains the rendering specific code for the window
      type being specified.  Required attribute.
    - @c lookNFeel: Specifies the name of the Falagard WidgetLook definition
      that contains imagery and other definitions for the window type being
      specified.  Required attribute.
    - @c renderEffect: Specifies the name of a registered RenderEffect of which
      an instance will be created to be associated with each created window of
      WindowType.  As the use of a RenderEffect requires an underlying
      RenderingWindow, if this is not automaticaly created by the TargetType,
      Renderer or LookNFeel the AutoRenderingSurface will be enabled prior to
      creating and assigning the RenderEffect.  If the specified RenderEffect
      is not registered with the system when instantiation of TargetType is
      attempted, creation will not fail solely for lack of the effect - rather
      the window will be created with no effect set (the missing RenderEffect
      will be logged).
      Optional attribute.

- Usage:
    - The \<FalagardMapping\> element may only appear as a sub-element of the
      \<GUIScheme\> element.
    - The \<FalagardMapping\> element may not contain any sub-elements.

- Examples:

<br>
@section xml_scheme_font \<Font\> Element

    - @c name: Specifies the name of the font as specified in the font
      xml file.  This is a validation check; if this name is specified it
      @e must match the name given in the font xml file or an exception will
      be thrown.  If this name is not given, the name is extracted from the
      font xml the first time it is loaded.  Optional attibute.
    - @c filename: Specifies the path to the font XML file.
      Required attribute.
    - @c resourceGroup: Specifies the resource group identifier to pass to the
      ResourceProvider when loading the file specified in the @c Filename
      attribute.  Optional attribute, if this is not specified the default
      resource group for Font files is used.

- Usage:
    - The \<Font\> element may only appear as a sub-element of the
      \<GUIScheme\> element.

      with the requested name already exists, the file specified is not loaded.

- Attributes:
    - @c name: Specifies the name of the imageset as specified in the imagseset
      xml file.  This is a validation check; if this name is specified it
      @e must match the name given in the imageset xml file or an exception will
      be thrown.  If this name is not given, the name is extracted from the
      imageset the first time it is loaded.  Optional attibute.
    - @c filename: Specifies the path to the imageset XML file.
      Required attribute.
    - @c resourceGroup: Specifies the resource group identifier to pass to the

      attribute.  Optional attribute, if this is not specified the default
      resource group for Imageset files is used.

- Usage:
    - The \<Imageset\> element may only appear as a sub-element of the
      \<GUIScheme\> element.
    - The \<Imageset\> element may not contain any sub-elements.

- Examples:

<br>
@section xml_scheme_imagesetfromimage \<ImagesetFromImage\> Element
- Purpose:
    - Specifies an imageset to be created directly from an image file as part of
      this scheme.  If an imageset with the requested name already exists, the
      file specified is not loaded.

    - @c name: Specifies the name to be used for the imageset.  If this
      attribute is not given, the imageset is given the name of it's file.
      Optional attibute.

      this imageset (also used as the name of the Imageset if the @c Name
      attribute is not given).  Required attribute.
    - @c resourceGroup: Specifies the resource group identifier to pass to the
