<div class="descr"> <a name="details"></a>
<p>The TS file format used by <i>Qt Linguist</i> is described by the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210">DTD</a> presented below, which we include for your convenience. Be aware that the format may change in future Qt releases.</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<!--
!
! Some notes to the DTD:
!
! The location element is set as optional since it was introduced first in Qt 4.2.
! The userdata element is set as optional since it was introduced first in Qt 4.4.
! The vanished message type was introduced first in Qt 5.2.
!

! Macro used in order to escape byte entities not allowed in an xml document
! for instance, only #x9, #xA and #xD are allowed characters below #x20.

<!--
! This element wildcard is no valid DTD. No better solution available.
! extra elements may appear in TS and message elements. Each element may appear
! only once within each scope. The contents are preserved verbatim; any
! attributes are dropped. Currently recognized extra tags include:
! extra-po-msgid_plural, extra-po-old_msgid_plural
! extra-po-flags (comma-space separated list)
! extra-loc-layout_id
! extra-loc-feature
! extra-loc-blank

! is omitted, the "current" one is used. For the 1st location in a message,
! "current" is the filename used for the 1st location of the previous message.
! For subsequent locations, it is the filename used for the previous location.
! A single TS file has either all absolute or all relative locations.
