XML File for use with DotNetNuke Skin

There are two methods of DotNetNuke skin creation, 1. writing the .ascx file and associated files, 2 bundling an html file and associated components into a zip file. The naming of the zip file will be the first half of the skin title in the admin settings skin options. The second part of the name is defined by the naming of the html file. A zip file called janet.zip and an HTML file called orange.zip will give an entry called janet - orange.

Listed below is a sample XML file. This is used to further describe the skin objects. Of particular note is the Vertical setting for the [MENU] object. The XML file should be given the same name as its associated HTML file.
