Simple Outline XML


Simple Outline XML is a compressed way of writing XML.
SOX uses indenting to represent the structure of an XML document, eliminating the need for closing tags.

Example

The following XHTML markup fragment:



<a href="/wiki/Sample">Sample</a> <a href="/wiki/Page">page</a>


A very brief page





... would appear in SOX as:

html>
 xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
 head>
 title> Sample page
 body>
 p> A very brief page

SOX can be readily converted to XML.
