When outputting to XML, 
EscapeE enables you to export more than just the data content of the fields. For example, you may specify a style sheet so that you control the way that the data is presented and set up a path to run the XML using the program of your choice.
Set up the data fields as usual (see Defining fields and tags) then:
| 1. | Select Edit... from the Fields menu or
press Ctrl and D keys. |
| 2. | The Field dialog opens: click the XML tab. You may need to scroll the tabs to the right  to bring the tab into view. |
| 3. | Tick Include XY coordinates to output the locations of the top-left corner of the fields. |
| 4. | Tick Include graphic field data to output any fields of TYPE "Graphic"; they will be encoded as PNG images. |
| 5. | Tick Include font information to use font attributes defined in the current document in the output XML. |
| 6. | Tick Include width and height to output the size of the field; see notes below. |
| 7. | To create a margin around text within a field area, enter the size (measured in 1/300 inch) in the Padding edit-box. |
| 8. | You may set up a command-line to run the XML to an application program: |
| o | Enter a top-level tag name. If omitted, the default is the stem of the field definitions file name. E.g.: MYxmlDATA. |
| o | Specify, or Browse... to, the XSL Stylesheet to be used for the output XML. E.g.: MyStyleSheet.XSL. |
| o | Nominate an associated Program to process XML output. The default is normally the default browser. E.g. IEXPLORE.EXE. |
| o | Enter any other Program parameters that you require: see Command line syntax for descriptions of the options. |
Notes
If the field is of TYPE "Graphic", the width and height of the image is given in pixels; if the image's resolution does not match that of EscapeE (normally 600dpi), the SCALE factor that EscapeE has applied to the image is also given. For example, a 1inch square PNG image with a resolution of 100dpi might produce this fragment of XML:
<FIELD... TYPE="GRA" FILETYPE="PNG" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="100" SCALE="6">.
In the case of images with no intrinsic resolution (e.g. JPEG), the default resolution is stored in the image when it is exported to XML.
