 ====== Not official in any way ======
-To say it loud and clear: **THIS WIKI IS NOT AN OFFICIAL AVOLITES RESSOURCE**. The author (well, the starting author) is a longstanding Avolites user, and works for the German Avolites distributor. Also, he is not a newbie in the field of computer programming. However, all information in this wiki is either made public elsewhere (in which case source and author are denoted), or public knowledge (e.g. the parts about XML, functions, or namespaces) written in own words, or can be derived from publicly available data. There might be some 'educated guess' and some 'reasonable assumptions' in some cases which helped to learn a few details. If so, this shall be clearly marked. But that's it.
