Producing a block list. The TMA file list is written in a simple XML language. The language is defined by tmaList.dtd, a document type definition that allows 13 common data elements (ex. tma-file-name, style-id). Referencing this DTD causes validation of the entries indicating which TMA DES export files and blocks to use with which styles. For each TMA file in the TMA file list, BrowseTMA processes the specified TMA blocks and displays a row of information about each. In processing a TMA block, BrowseTMA uses that block's data from the XML export file to display the export file name, block identifier, purpose and description and the TMA file list entry to display the style file name and links to the style and possibly to an image.
