Re: Libofx-devel Digest, Vol 12, Issue 2

Yes the OFX data is formatted in SGML.....but that is only for header
100.  Header 200 files are formated XML.  Not all banks support this.

Also, some banks are very picky on following the specification so, be warned.

Hmm. I think the technicality is that the financial information
(starting with <OFX>, after the header) is formatted in SGML. But an OFX
file consists of a header plus financial information. I don't know SGML
at all, but I think that the ofx file header itself is not SGML. But
that header is explicitly compliant with the OFX spec.

Not exactly, but I think I have a pdf of the 2.x ofx spec at home. I can
email you a copy if you would like me to (provided I really did save it...)
