Fills in every page the sidebar previously linked to but that was never
written, so the two XML formats are now documented down to their children.
Element side (children of <description>):
line, polygon, rect, ellipse/circle, arc, text, dynamic_text, terminal
Project side (children of <diagram>):
properties + property, defaultconductor, elements, conductors, inputs,
images, shapes, elementautonumfoliosequentials + its unit/ten/hundred
children, and collection's category
Everything is taken from the writer in the source rather than guessed --
PartLine/PartPolygon/PartRectangle/PartEllipse/PartArc/PartText/
PartDynamicTextField::toXml(), TerminalData::toXml(), Diagram::toXml() and
folioSequentialsToXml() -- and cross-checked against a corpus of 185 real
.qet files plus the .elmt collection. Examples are copied from real files.
Notable details that were not documented anywhere:
- a square ellipse is written as <circle diameter=...>, not <ellipse>
- the rectangle tag is <rect>, not <rectangle>
- polygon's closed="false" is written only when the shape is open, so an
absent attribute means closed
- <arc> angles are stored internally in 1/16 degree but written in degrees
- <text> alignment attributes are written only when non-default
- <properties> occurs both under <project> and under <diagram>, and
<inputs> both under <diagram> and inside each <element>
Also rewrites elements_child_description as an index of its children -- it
was a stub with duplicated entries, blank examples and empty attribute
lists -- and restores the sidebar nesting now that the targets exist.
