+This article is a summary of the steps/pointers needed to successfully parse and re-interpret a subset of [[PropertyList XML File]] using Nasal scripting and the Canvas system:
-== Configuration Properties ==
+== Background and Motivation ==
-== Files ==
+See:
-== Entrypoint ==
+* [[PUI]]
+* [[Unifying the 2D rendering backend via canvas]]
-== Structure of the Parser ==
+== XML processing ==
-== Factory Functions ==
+XML processing can be done via [[Nasal library/io|io.nas]] - however, strictly speaking, it's not needed because the [[Nasal library/props]] module can transparently load an XML file from the base package and return it as a hash, so that you don't have to do any XML handling at all.
+== Creating a Canvas ==
+It's best to look at [[Canvas Snippets]] and see how easy it is to create a new Canvas from scratch.
+== Creating Popups ==
+See [[Tooltips]]
+== Using Canvas Layouts ==
+For now, please look at [[Canvas Layout System]]
+== Event Handling ==
+For event handling purposes, there's [[Canvas Event Handling]]
+== Existing Widgets ==
+See [[Canvas Widget Matrix]]
+== Creating new Widgets ==
+See [[Howto:Creating a Canvas GUI Widget]]
