Name
<description>, <display-name>, and <icon>
Synopsis
These three elements provide information a development tool can use to describe the application. These three elements are not top-level elements themselves but can be nested within most top-level elements.
Syntax
<description [xml:lang="lang"]>description</description> <display-name [xml:lang="lang"]>displayName</display-name> <icon [xml:lang="lang"]> [<small-icon>iconPath</small-icon>] [<large-icon>iconPath</large-icon>] </icon>
The <icon> element can contain a
<small-icon> and a
<large-icon> element, each with a
context-relative path to an image file (GIF and JPEG formats are
supported). The small icon must be 16x16 pixels, and the large 32x32.
The <display-name> element can specify a
name for the entity described by the parent element, and the
<description> element a longer description.
You can use different versions of all these elements for multiple
languages, each with a unique xml:lang attribute
value (“en”, for English, is the
default value):
<icon> <small-icon>/images/small.gif</small-icon> <large-icon>/images/large.gif</large-icon> </icon> <display-name>The application name</display-name> <description> A longer description of the application. </description>
