The Include element has special meaning for the Oblivion XML parser, similar to that of the include statement in C-style programming languages. An <include> element must be empty (no child elements or text/numerical contents), and it must have a src attribute specified:
<!-- Includes the xml code for a generic clickable button --> <include src="button_floating.xml" />
The value of src is the name of the xml file to include (relative to Oblivion\Data\Menus\Prefabs). Each time the parser finds an <include> element, it replaces it with the contents of this file before continuing.
Notes
- This is a bit different from the standard usage of the src attribute in Operator Elements. With operators, 'src refers to another element by name and is paired with a trait attribute. With Include, it refers to a file and appears by itself.
- Attempting to include a file that doesn't exist with cause a CTD.
- Spaces are not allowed in the file path.
