<include> txt files?

[Drumstix42]

I'm trying to use <include> to insert text from text files, but how to do it is escaping me...

I have my XML file in my custom ui folder, and I would think I could just do:

<include>spells/main.txt</include>

But when I go and look in other mods that do it, it's something like:

<include>something/../something/main.txt</include>

So what's the deal? I'm a little confused

Still having no luck here. Either I'm missing something easy, or there's some kind of trick to it.

from what I can figure you can't just include a text file. One it needs to be in UTF-8 format and if the script engin don't detect tags it ignores any info that isn't in a tag.

Wierd.

But other mods that I'm talking about, I mean such as the journal mods that have all those heritage and writ text files in them. As well as all the info stuff, like the cookbooks, ect.

I'm just wondering, trying to have my own spelllist window, but dont' feel like having a 100,000 line file if you get what I mean

Hi Drumstix42,
I use the following construction to put random text files in a window, is that what you need?

<Text ......><include>xyzzy/xyzzy</include></Text>
