# Survey Tool System Messages

These are system messages for use in the survey tool. You can add a new row, where the Path is a regular expression for an XML path, and the Text to Insert is what you want to show up as help text, or modify existing text. The software that interprets this expects a particular format, so don't make arbitrary changes (see the end).

Path | Text to Insert
--- | ---
startup_title | CLDR Vetting | Starting Up...
startup_header | # SurveyTool Startup in Progress
startup_wait | The SurveyTool is still starting up... Please wait....
startup_footer | Unicode | Common Locale Data Repository | Report Problem in Tool

The text to insert can be fairly arbitrary HTML. The software that reads this table will search the first column (eg between <td> and </td>) and return the contents of the second column. We plan on adding a few variables also, for the current locale name, in particular. This file uses the survey tool style-sheet, so you can use those styles (and icons, like ) in the text to insert.

WARNING

- It uses a very dumb parser, so make sure that table elements are matched, eg <td> with </td>, and also that <tr>, </tr>, <table>, and </table> are on separate lines.
- The regular expression for the path must match the whole path, so if it is an interior substring, remember to add .* on both ends.
- Run TestUtilities.testExampleGenerator() to verify that everything works.
