Re: [xwiki-users] Migrating articles into xwiki

Hi, I understand the concept, but what do I do with relations; Creator, Translation, translator.

I also have some markup-tags like Title, Quote, Bulleted list, Information, Contact-information

How would you develop a xml-schema for this; could I look at the database structure and assume required, optional constraints Are there any enumerations used in xwiki (list of possible values) for a field What is the best way to find-out about the standard POSSIBLE attributes of a xwiki document
