-== Remark for ''color'' codes == +
-Color codes like in this example are always stored in RGB data. To understand the concept, the decimal value needs to be converted into a hexadecimal value. In hexadecimal, the colors are coded ''$RRGGBB'' where ''RR'', ''GG'' and ''BB'' are the intensities for the red, green and blue component of the color. Each intensity ranges from ''$00'' (not present) to ''$FF'' (full presence). For example ''$00FF00'' is a full red and in decimal this would be '#65280' like in the example above which gives no clue which color this might be. +

 +Valid only for PREVIEW applications: This item has been changed. Previous, the dimensions tags have been "columns" ans "rows" but due to missleading interpretation hve been changed.  
 +A test  was included in the reader routines allowing old file to be read, but only new format are written.

 These kind of tags only work with items that have explicit defined number of subitems to follow. They will only be interpeted correctly with programs understanding the meaning of such a comma-seperated list. In standard XML, this //collection// would have been splitted into 19 sub-items, one for each soil layer. Each of these sub-items would have its own opening and closing tag. For ENVI-met this was considered as an overkill. Therefor the Multi-Item tags have been introduced.  These kind of tags only work with items that have explicit defined number of subitems to follow.

 +=== Color encoding ===
 +Color codes like in the example above are always stored in plain RGB data. To understand the concept, the decimal value needs to be converted into a hexadecimal value. In hexadecimal, the colors are coded ''$RRGGBB'' where ''RR'', ''GG'' and ''BB'' are the intensities for the red, green and blue component of the color. Each intensity ranges from ''$00'' (not present) to ''$FF'' (full presence). For example ''$00FF00'' is a full red and in decimal this would be '#65280' like in the example above which gives no clue which color this might be.
