<h1>14 The Ipe file format</h1>
28
<p>Ipe can store documents in several possible formats. Among them are
29
standard PDF and Postscript, which can be read by any application
30
capable of opening such files, such as Acrobat Reader, Xpdf, or
31
Ghostview. (Ipe embeds its own information inside PDF and Postscript
32
files. The way this is done is not documented here.)
33
<p>There is one other Ipe file format, which is a pure XML
34
implementation. Files stored in this format can be parsed with any
35
XML-aware application, and you can create XML files for Ipe from your
36
own applications. The tags understood by Ipe are described informally
37
in this section. A formal DTD will be provided in due course
39
<p>Tags in the XML file can carry attributes other than the ones
40
documented here. Ipe ignores all attributes it does't understand, and
41
they will be lost if the document is saved again from Ipe.
