[GRASS-dev] [SoC]Week-4 WebGrass

[Mayank Agrawal]

Hi everyone,

I am student working on the WebGrass project for this GSoC. I was making
the dialog boxes of different modules in grass. While doing this, I come
across a problem. I am using the xml files of these modules using command (
x.module --interface-description).  When a dialog box opens, there are many
options. For example, for the v.buffer (v.buffer --interface-description),
there is option for "input vector map" and "output vector map" (screenshot

When you see the xml
<https://gist.github.com/mayank33/5dccaa844787abee280c0291a1561ed2>, then
you will notice "input vector map" is under label
<https://gist.github.com/mayank33/5dccaa844787abee280c0291a1561ed2#file-buffer-xml-L12>
tag
and "output vector map" is under description
<https://gist.github.com/mayank33/5dccaa844787abee280c0291a1561ed2#file-buffer-xml-L95>
tag.
Though both are shown at same place in dialog box. Same thing is done at
many places in different modules. I want to know whether it is on purpose
or some kind of error as this makes the parsing of xml for generation of
dialog box, a little bit tricky. At some places, description tag is used
and somewhere label tag is used. Also any help in this regard(parsing) will
be highly appreciated.
