It’s kind of a lottery!
Koala (Kind-of-a-Lottery App) is a tool for the Academic Male Voice Choir of Helsinki’s Lilla Sångarmärket exams. KoalaOnline, also known as KoalaX, is the current web application; it is an XML-based version of an earlier TXT-based version, which was in turn preceded by an earlier local Java application, JKoala, all written by Kasper Sundström.
- The songs are read from the XML file
lsm.xmlin thexmldirectory. - The structure of the XML file is defined by the schema file
lsm.xsdin the same directory. Do not make changes in this file unless you know what you are doing! Changing the schema file requires changes in other files! - Back up the file
lsm.xmlbefore updating it. - Minor corrections of the information can easily be made directly in the raw text.
- Major changes should be done in an application capable of handling XML data in tabular form, such as Microsoft Excel.
- Save the file without changing file name or extension.
- Use proper typographic quotations marks (
”), apostrophes (’), ellipses (…), and other special characters.
