Create XML Generator Control Table from XSD

Reads an XSD and attempts to create elements of the XML Generator Control table from on. This cannot build the entire control table but it will reduce the workload in creating all of the individual tags, and the parent definitions for each tag

Options

Enforce Unique Tag Names
If ticked, the XSD line number of the element is appended to its tag name to ensure it is unique. This should be applied where element names may not be unique across the XSD, but it reduces readability of the control table. If you know that all XSD element names are unique, this can be left off. %%00010%%00010You do not need to turn this on if it is only attribute names that are non-unique, since their tag name includes their parent tag-name too.
