No, XML is just the type of file that FB commands are stored in. They could just as easily be stored in a MySQL database if that were the method the developers chose.

All you really need to know about XML is that everything starts with a tag inside <>, such as <FB command> and ends with a tag inside </>, such as </FB command>.

correct.

MDX just uses XML as a way to store info. I could have very well opted to store it in plain text, or a database, or usb enabled russian dolls. The storage doesnt matter just the contents.

If you want help on the contents, post and we will help.
