This example illustrates an easy way to use XIML based interface with any web application.
In this case we used a just-released Google App Engine to create a data manager and that data is used by the XIML site for display.

We are continuing our skin creating initiative.
At the moment you can see skins for

If you would like to see how (very easy) it is to create such skins, have a look at the source code for all this sites:

Deep linking to internal pages within XIML site is easy to use:
ximl.com/site/{site name}/{page name}
For example:
http://ximl.com/site/ximl_tabs1/tc_ft will go directly to the features page (tc_ft) of site ximl_tabs1.
To link to pages of the main site, use
ximl.com/p/{page name}
For example:
http://ximl.com/p/p_tech_features will go directly to the features page of main site.
To set what page should open on site start, use
<start_page v=”p_tech_about”/> located at /website/config/sys/ in the configuration file.
For example see http://ximl.com/conf.xml
When developing a XIML site, you will normally have many versions of configuration and data files.
The files are backed up in the system.
This files versions represent a history of a site development.
It is possible to see all the development steps for each site.
Site history is available at ximl.com/sitehistory/{site name}.
For example, see http://ximl.com/sitehistory/ximl_tabs1
