XML Top Level

At the top level, the report definition file contains an extensible markup language (XML) definition and a reference to the document type definition (DTD) as follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE report SYSTEM "Reporter.dtd">

These are followed by exactly one <report> tag. The <report> tag contains everything that is specific to this report. There is a heading and a list of <section> tags.

The <report> tag can also contain the following optional attributes:

Note: These are free-form text and do not appear in the report.

class and subclass

Used by the WebCenter presentation code for grouping together similar reports. These are not inspected, verified, or used by the report generator.

displayname

Used wherever the report name is displayed, for example, in the title bar of the report window.
