<!-- alphabets contains groups of valid symbols for use in Dasher,
along with some useful information. It does nothing to tell Dasher,
how those symbols may be used. -->

<!ELEMENT alphabets (alphabet*)>

<!ELEMENT alphabet (orientation, encoding, train, paragraph, space, control, group*)>
<!ATTLIST alphabet name CDATA #REQUIRED>

<!-- Left-Right, Right-Left, Top-Bottom or Bottom-Top?
Which way up should Dasher do its rendering by default? -->
<!ELEMENT orientation EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST orientation type (LR|RL|TB|BT) #REQUIRED>

<!-- The encoding field just helps Dasher decide on some Localisation
issues. In theory it could see which characters are there and pick
a suitable file encoding and font. Sometimes this is difficult.
It does not dictate the file format. For example, traditionally Unix
and Windows use different encodings for some languages. A platform
should do what it thinks best given the vague group Dasher
has put the alphabet into. If this doesn't work out, the user
can over-ride the alphabet anyway. -->
<!ELEMENT encoding EMPTY>

others. Can set d (display) to "" to disable. -->
