QBML is a tentative XML markup for creating easily-parsed packets. Although there is currently no consensus on what QBML should be, some progress towards a unified XML markup for quizbowl has been made by Jerry Vinokurov in the course of his development of QBDB, a searchable online packet database.
The Tags
The set of QBML tags used by Jerry is as follows:
- <packet author="author" year=# tournament="Tournament Name"> - Encloses the entire packet
- <tossups> - Encloses the tossups
- <tossup> - The tag containing the tossup text
- <answer> - The tag containing the answer text for both tossups and answer parts
- <req> - This tag encloses the required part of the answer
- <bonuses> - Encloses the bonuses
- <bonus> - This tag encloses the entire bonus, but does not contain any text
- <leadin> - Encloses the leadin
- <part value=#> - This tag encloses the bonus part and the value attribute indicates how much the part is worth
