<h1>14 The Ipe file format</h1>
<p>Ipe can store documents in several possible formats. Among them are
standard PDF and Postscript, which can be read by any application
capable of opening such files, such as Acrobat Reader, Xpdf, or
Ghostview. (Ipe embeds its own information inside PDF and Postscript
files. The way this is done is not documented here, and may change
between releases of Ipe.)
<p>There is one other Ipe file format, which is a pure XML
implementation. Files stored in this format can be parsed with any
XML-aware application, and you can create XML files for Ipe from your
own applications. The tags understood by Ipe are described informally
in this section. A formal DTD will be provided in due course
(volunteers?).
<p>Tags in the XML file can carry attributes other than the ones
documented here. Ipe ignores all attributes it does't understand, and
they will be lost if the document is saved again from Ipe. Ipe will
complain about any XML elements not described here, with the exception
that you can use elements whose name starts with "x-" freely to add
your own information inside an Ipe file.
